Step into HIKMICRO's flagship thermal imaging lineup. The STELLAR 3.0 series is built for serious hunters and professional shooters who demand the sharpest image quality, longest detection ranges, and most reliable ballistic accuracy on the market. Choose from six models below to match your lens size, budget, and rangefinding needs.
At the heart of every STELLAR 3.0 scope is HIKMICRO's breakthrough NETD < 15mK thermal sensitivity — the most sensitive detector HIKMICRO has ever released — paired with the HSIS (HIKMICRO Shutterless Image System) and Image Pro 2.0 algorithm. Together, they deliver exceptionally crisp, richly detailed thermal imagery with minimal noise, so you can identify game with confidence in total darkness, fog, rain, or smoke — with no calibration pauses to interrupt the view.
Every model in the range features a stunning 2560 x 2560 AMOLED/OLED display, giving hunters a cinema-quality viewing experience that reduces eye fatigue on long nights in the field and makes spotting impact points easier than ever.
Built tough for New Zealand conditions, the STELLAR 3.0 range offers shock resistance up to 1000g/0.4ms, rugged aluminium alloy housing, magnetic lens covers, and ergonomic soft eyepieces and focus rings designed for use with gloves on. Depending on the model, you'll get 9 hours of continuous runtime from rechargeable internal and external batteries — enough for a full night's hunt.
Understanding the model names
- H models (SH35, SH35L, SH50L) use a 384×288 sensor — HIKMICRO's standard-resolution thermal sensor.
- Q models (SQ35L, SQ50L) use a 640×512 sensor — a higher-resolution sensor giving a sharper, more detailed image at distance. We would generally recommend a 'Q' model with a smaller lens over an 'H' model with a larger lens when it comes to value for money.
- X model (SX60LS) is the flagship, using a 1280×1024 sensor — the highest resolution on the commercial market.
- "L" models include a built-in laser rangefinder and ballistic computer. We strongly recommend an "L" model — the ballistic computer automatically calculates your holdover once you've ranged the target, taking the guesswork out of long-range shots.
