The scope of delivery of the Hikmicro Thunder TE19C 2.0

As always, we start ours Hikmicro Thunder TE19C 2.0 test with the What's in the Box – here you need, especially if you already know our other tests, don't expect any surprises. In the usual Thunder style, everything you need is there required for using the attachment. The accessories are as follows:

 

  • A Quick Start Guide (You will receive detailed operating instructions in German by email or via your customer account)
  • A shoulder strap for the bag
  • A pocket
  • A charger/charging cradle
  • Two replaceable batteries
  • A cleaning cloth
  • assembly key
  • A USB cable with a C connector

Even if you already know the new device series, we would like to two innovations and features point out. First of all, this is the bag that is really not badly made. This is not just longer than previous models, so that you can optimally store everything important - it also has Velcro fasteners, with which you get the device fix securely can. This is really great!

The one supplied assembly key However, we have been able to counterattack more so far gain less. Tightening it by hand works just as well. If you want to be on the safe side, you can tighten it again with the assembly key - but if you accidentally forget the key at home, you'll be fine without it.

The features of the Hikmicro Thunder TE19C 2.0 in the test

Visually it's different Hikmicro Thunder TE19C 2.0 hardly differs from its predecessor models. If you already use a model in the series, you will need it not get used to a fundamentally new operation. However, one change is really great: Even if the TE19C 2.0 is a little heavier than its predecessors, the attachment now finally has a Thread with lock ring. We remember the first generation - here the thermal imaging device was provided with a bottleneck, so an intermediate piece was necessary. This is finally gone and you can Screw the adaptation directly onto the device. For example, via a duo connector or one SMARTCLIP AS adapter. This is really great!

You can change the battery again using one Flap on the side of the device. This is held in place by a small lock and can only be inserted in one way. So you really can't go wrong, even in the dark. It's right next to the battery cover USB-C input for the data cable. A little hint: If you don't want to use the app to transfer data, but rather directly to the computer, you should Turn off WiFi on the device. Otherwise it may happen that the PC does not recognize the device as a mass storage device.

The focusing on the front of the device pleasantly smooth, so you can get here can really finely adjust. The thermal imaging device also has a lid that protects the lens and closes it silently. When closed, the lid is locked and held in place in the inner housing. So you need each other here do not worrythat the piece is frightened by any rattling noises.

Further important features, which we have for you in Hikmicro Thunder TE19C 2.0 test found the following:

 

  • Shot sensor: As is already known from some previous models, this too Hikmicro Thunder TE19C 2.0 has a shot sensor installed that detects when you fire a shot. The recoil-activated video recording then records seven seconds before and seven seconds after the recoil. In theory you can be so sure that Every interesting situation in the district is recorded became. In practice, we have received feedback from many hunters that this Function is used less. Accordingly, there is also the option of simply switching off the sensor. Still a nice feature – just in case!
  • Use in handheld mode: An absolute highlight, which is only available in this form in the Thunder 19 series, is that the attachment is also easy can be used as a handheld devicet. You can do this in the menu between the Clip on and monoocular modes change. You will see the biggest difference in the image on the display: as an attachment, the image is significantly smaller. The reason for this is simply that you obviously have to move the display to the reticle. Accordingly, you need a little leeway and space here. As Handheld Device This step is eliminated, which is why Image larger and fills the entire display. Important: In monoocular mode, certain functions are no longer applicable. For example, you cannot use the bullet menu. Therefore, always check which mode you are in before wondering why some features suddenly seem to be missing.
  • Menu design: A shortcoming that affects us Hikmicro Thunder TE19C 2.0 test noticed that Blue colored menu sometimes very tiring for the eyes - but of course this can also be a personal preference. In addition, they are Icons very small and you can almost only see them if you put a glass on them. In handheld mode, the whole thing looks a little different: Since the image takes up the entire display, the icons are larger. For use as Monoocularly you have two options. Either you look directly through the adapter through. Or you bring one eyepiece piece at. However, an existing problem is that some eyepiece pieces are not recognized by the device. We therefore recommend looking through it directly - but this is not very pleasant because the appropriate rubber coating is missing and you cannot place the device on your eye.
  • Connection to your cell phone or tablet via the app: The scope of MAP was expanded in two key areas: Hikmicro Of course you can use Thunder TE19C 2.0 with the Hikmicro Sight app connect. This is really the easiest way to use the device regularly to be used with updates. You also have the option of connecting your display directly to your cell phone or tablet - we can do that for you Lenovo M8 Tablet with Huntredlight © Slide to heart – reflects. This is particularly good for zeroing in, so it's a top feature!

As the name suggests, that is Hikmicro Thunder TE19C 2.0 with a 19 lens and a 256 sensor fitted. The mK value is just under 35, which is not bad. According to the manufacturer, you can also use one Detection distance of 1000 m go out - but remember that this will only be achieved if the Object is also 1,8 m tall. For a smaller piece, you should assume a smaller detection distance.

Thanks to the relatively small sensor, you also have one lower pixel coverage on the piece, so that it is noisy and sometimes no longer recognizable. The Display is high resolution, but we would consider a fourfold maximum magnification to be realistic. Because of this, we see the area of ​​application as being more like short distance - for example on the Kirrung - at 50 to 60 m. The device is also definitely designed for a shorter distance in terms of field of view. Ultimately, however, it means: trying is better than studying! Every hunter should definitely assess for themselves how far they can shoot with the TE19C 2.0.
