HIK MICRO Stellar 3 SH50L Thermal Rifle Scope - 384px 50mm with LRF Laser Rangefinder

The HIK MICRO STELLAR SH50L 3 Thermal Rifle Scope is equipped with a 384×288 @12μm thermal detector, with much higher sensitivity (NETD＜15mK) and the latest image processing algorithm (Image Pro 2.0) and shutterless system (HSIS), ensuring users catch the finest details no matter the weather or light conditions without interruption.

With a 2560×2560 1.03” AMOLED larger display, SH50L 3.0 makes it easier to spot targets quickly and accurately. The built-in 1000m LRF and ballistic calculation contribute to more accurate shooting. The scope is mainly used for field hunting.

The HIKMICRO Stellar 3.0 utilises industry leading sensor technology and innovative software to create the ultimate thermal riflescope. 

The Stellar 3.0 introduces many innovations to enhance your hunting experience including shutterless technology and the integrated Laser Rage Finder (LRF) which allows you to access HIKMICRO’s advanced ballistic calculator while retaining the traditional appearance of your scope. 

Built around HIKMICRO’s latest generation 384x288px, Sub 15mK NETD sensors, the Stellar 3.0 is capable of delivering an unbelievably detailed image. Not only does this help you to positively identify animals but also gives you a clear view of the surroundings and background. This highly accurate thermal sensor will also continue to deliver in the most challenging conditions, such as rain and fog. 

The 1000m LRF discreetly fits inside the front objective lens which allows you to accurately judge the distance to your target without compromising the traditional look of your rifle. The built-in ballistic calculator displays the holdover point on your reticle, making it possible to accurately adjust for shooting at different distances, even in total darkness. 

The new viewfinder screen delivers an immersive experience, with an exceptionally wide field of view. You can customise the display to give you all the information you need in a rounded viewing area that will feel familiar to anyone who has used a traditional optical scope. 

In addition to the latest hardware, HIKMICRO are committed to developing advanced software to enhance your hunting experience. The Stellar 3.0 is loaded with new technology like Image Pro 2.0 which uses intelligent algorithms to build extra detail to the image. 

Another unique technology which is set to revolutionise your thermal shooting experience is shutterless technology. The shutter is used in traditional thermal devices to control image noise. It is a physical process which requires your image to freeze for a few seconds to complete. During that interruption it is impossible to take your shot. To avoid this problem, HIKMICRO have developed software which has replaced the physical shutter and removed this problem. 

Powered by a combination of internal batteries and a removable 18650, the Stellar 3.0 delivers an impressive run time of 9 Hours. The display also shows you the status of the internal battery and the external battery separately so it is easy to manage your power consumption.

Why does the HIKMICRO Stellar 3.0 Thermal Riflescope Stands Out From the Rest?
The HIKMICRO Stellar 3.0 Thermal Riflescope with LRF stands above the rest because of several innovative and advanced features that strengthen its performance and usability in the field. Key among these is its shutterless technology, which removes the need for a physical shutter mechanism. This unique technology ensures uninterrupted imaging, allowing you to utilise constant, clear and steady views.

The high-resolution sensors—ranging from 384x288 to 1280x1024—deliver incredibly detailed and clear thermal images. This advanced sensor technology is coupled with the Image Pro 2.0, a state-of-the-art image processing algorithm that produces high image quality by using intelligent algorithms to add extra detail and improve overall visibility.

The discreet 1000m Laser Range Finder (LRF) is integrated into the front objective lens, keeping the traditional look and feel of the scope while providing precise distance measurements. This feature is crucial for accurate targeting and effective shooting over long distances.

The 1280x1024 high-resolution sensor in the Stellar 3.0 SX60L delivers crystal-clear thermal imagery with exceptional detail. It is easier to identify and track targets at long distances because of the high pixel count that ensures even the most subtle heat variations are captured with remarkable clarity.

Furthermore, the Stellar 3.0 is constructed for durability and reliability with a high shock resistance and extended battery life.
