I thought these binoculars were the future of thermal imaging – now HikMicro has made them even better

HikMicro has introduced the new Habrok 4K HH35L 2.0, a multi-spectrum binocular that integrates thermal imaging, 4K digital viewing, and laser rangefinding into one unit. Upon trying the Habrok Pro multi-spectrum binoculars at The Photography & Video Show, the reporter was remarkably impressed by the innovative combination of conventional digital viewing with thermal technology within a familiar pair of binoculars.

The Habrok 4K HH35L 2.0 is based on HikMicro's latest Habrok 4K 2.0 platform, featuring a 384 x 288 thermal sensor with sub-15mK NETD sensitivity, paired with a 35mm f/1.0 thermal lens. This combination delivers superior thermal detail and smoother imaging at longer distances, with a detection range of up to 1,800 meters. The digital channel offers 4K resolution, magnification from 5.5x to 22x, and night-viewing capabilities up to 400 meters.

The control system has been redesigned with a rear focus wheel and toggle for easy switching between thermal and digital modes. Additional features include a laser rangefinder measuring up to 1,000 meters, Picture-in-Picture viewing, electronic image stabilization, GPS, digital compass, video and still-image recording, 64GB internal storage, and HikMicro Sight app connectivity.

The 900g binocular, made of magnesium with IP67 weather protection, offers up to 6.5 hours of battery life with replaceable rechargeable 18650 batteries.
