HikMicro Lynx 3.0 LE15 Thermal Riflescope

Compact enough for a jacket pocket, powerful enough for mid-range use — the HikMicro Lynx 3.0 LE15 is a handheld thermal imaging monocular that feels at home in dense vegetation and open fields alike. With a detection range of 750 meters and magnification ranging from 2.2x to 17.6x, this monocular covers a broad spectrum of situations. A popular choice for hunters, wildlife managers, and anyone actively engaged in wildlife observation.

As part of the Lynx 3.0 line, the LE15 combines high-quality imaging technology with an attractive price. Below you will find an overview of the key features and functionalities.

HikMicro Lynx 3.0 thermal imaging monoculars

Compared to the Lynx 2.0 series, the Lynx 3.0 monoculars are lighter, more compact, and deliver higher image quality. This is largely thanks to Image Pro 3.0, an AI-driven algorithm that ensures detailed images — even with digital zoom up to maximum magnification. Even under challenging weather conditions, spotting and tracking wildlife remains easy thanks to this image processing.

Smooth images

The HikMicro Shutterless Image System (HSIS) eliminates image freezing entirely, so the monocular continuously delivers a stable image. Calibration no longer interrupts your observation — you don't miss a single moment.

User comfort

The built-in AMOLED display shows images clearly and in detail. In addition to the standard color palettes, two extra options have been added — red monochrome and green monochrome — giving you a choice of six palettes in total. Furthermore, the Lynx 3.0 starts up in two seconds and the control buttons are softer and more intuitive than the predecessor.

Generous internal memory

With 64 GB of built-in storage, there is plenty of room for photos and video recordings, with or without audio. Via wifi, the monocular connects to the HikMicro Sight app, allowing you to view and share images directly on your smartphone.

Technical specifications of the HikMicro Lynx 3.0 LE15 thermal imaging monocular

The LE15 features a 256x192p sensor with a pixel size of 12 µm and thermal sensitivity (NETD) of less than 20 mK — making even small temperature differences clearly visible. The field of view is 11.7°x8.8°, providing a clear image at both short and medium distances. Images are displayed on a 0.39 inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 1024x768p and a refresh rate of 50 Hz for smooth display without stuttering.

The digital zoom offers an 8x factor (2.2x to 17.6x). If you want to zoom in without losing the overall view, you can activate PIP mode (Picture In Picture): the zoomed image then appears as a smaller window within the larger overview image. Available color palettes:

• Black Hot
• Fusion
• Red Hot
• Green Monochrome
• Red Monochrome
