The Hikmicro Lynx LH19 2.0 Review
The scope of delivery of the Hikmicro Lynx LH19 2.0
Our Hikmicro Lynx LH19 2.0 test begins as usual with an inventory - please remember that the Scope of delivery can always vary and we only show you what was in it at the time of the video.
The Hikmicro Lynx LH19 2.0 comes with the following accessories:

- A hand strap for the device
- A cleaning cloth

- A small note here: The Lynx 2.0 is available with three different lens sizes: Here you can choose between the 15, 19 and 25 variants Apart from the difference in size, the 15mm lens cannot be focused, whereas the other two can. All models come in identical boxes – so there is no need to worry if the device you ordered is not shown on the packaging. Furthermore, regardless of the device, you will receive the same operating instructions – here too, you shouldn’t be surprised if actions or settings are shown that may not be possible on your device.
The features of the Hikmicro Lynx LH19 2.0 in review
At first glance, the Lynx LH19 2.0 impresses with its compact size and practical, intuitive design – the economical rubber coating Buttons and eyepiece give the thermal imaging camera a high-quality look. As with the Condor series, the buttons on the top of the device are intuitively arranged: The rear button controls the magnification, the menu button is in the middle. The front button is the photo button, which you can use to easily capture unique hunting moments - thanks to an internal memory from 16GB You can save some snapshots here. The fourth and last button in the row is the power button. There is an unobtrusive Diode information about the operating status; because of the tilt sensor, this can no longer be determined easily via a illuminated display. Great!
In our opinion, the focus should be a little more generous – especially for the hunters among you who are out and about in low temperatures, the Operation with gloves challenging .
At the front of the device there is a simple cover for the lens – this is where opinions differ. In itself, it is a functional cover that reliably protects the lens; however, you should not expect too much. easily exchangeable, should it break or get lost in the area.
On the bottom side there is a USB-C input and an additional thread for using a tripod or attaching a carrying strap – for this we can recommend the Thermal Neckband from our online shop!
Further important features, which we in Hikmicro Lynx LH19 2.0 test convinced, among others:
- Replaceable battery system: The Hikmicro Lynx models have a clear advantage over the first generation: The battery system is no longer tied to a manufacturer Instead, standard 18650 batteries You can use the batteries that are available everywhere - you just have to make sure that you use the correct voltage. Inserting or changing the battery is also child's play: In addition to the simple mechanism using a small flap with a slider, there is also a pictogram in the recess for the battery that shows you in which direction the battery should be inserted. So nothing can go wrong here - great!
The scope of delivery includes two of the batteries and a suitable charging cradle. If possible, hunters should Start your hunting trip with freshly charged batteries; Hikmicro Although the battery life is stated to be up to 6 hours, this is only possible under ideal conditions. We therefore recommend that you allow for three to four hours. - Standby mode when not in use: The scope of MAP was expanded in two key areas: Hikmicro Lynx LH19 2.0 has a tilt or tilt sensor. This acts as Stand-by control: As soon as the thermal imaging monocular is hanging on the neck strap or lying on its side, the sensor detects that there is currently no active use. The device then automatically switches to standby mode – this allows the Maximize battery lifeIf the device tilts 75° to the side or 70° up or down, the Lynx is automatically ready for use again. In our opinion, Hikmicro hereby a successful alternative to the classic eye sensor created – especially since the eye sensor sometimes has to be very close to the face in order to change modes.
- Intuitive Design:With three clearly arranged buttons, the Hikmicro Lynx LH19 2.0 with a very intuitive Service – the middle button speaks the hierarchical menu, which prioritizes frequently used functions according to user habits. A short press allows you to change the image modes, a long press opens the top menu, here you can most important settings You can access further settings via the last tile in the main menu, which will take you to the menu with all the functions.
Technical details from the Hikmicro Lynx LH19 2.0 Review
With a 384 sensor, a field of view of almost 24 m and a 1,8x magnification, the Lynx LH19 2.0 ideal for forest and small field hunting: The pieces remain clearly small despite a larger sensor, even if the basic optical magnification is rather small.
The second Lynx generation can also be easily pair with the appUpdates can also be carried out via this app – very practical, we think! The app also allows you to Stream image, so that you can share your impressions live. For objects that are further away, it is a good idea to use the Redhot or Blackhot mode – this way you can Scan the area effectively and quickly locate smaller animals such as birds or rabbits.
Within the Observation of larger pieces pushes the Hikmicro under certain circumstances to his boundaries: With a maximum range of 900 meters For objects with a height of 1,80 meters, the Hikmicro Lynx LH19 2.0 a ideal spotting device – It is not suitable for sitting and waiting. Fallow deer and roe deer can be easily spotted up to about 250 meters, but beyond that it becomes difficult. better detection at longer distances we recommend a higher quality device with a larger sensor or a higher optical magnification – you will have to settle for a smaller field of view.
