HIKMICRO's STELLAR 4.0 and THUNDER 4.0 Bring 1280 Thermal to Hunters

Hangzhou, China – October 28, 2026 -- HIKMICRO is launching the STELLAR 4.0 thermal scope and the THUNDER 4.0 thermal clip-on, led by the flagship X-1280 models SX75LR 4.0 and TQ70CL 4.0, plus a broader range of 640-resolution models. The theme is "When Seeing Becomes Knowing": more usable detail at long distances, high magnification and against complex backgrounds.

The X-1280 models put more detail into the first view

The X-1280 models use an all-new optical design that pairs 1280 sensors with focal lengths of 70 mm and above. The aim is a detailed image the moment a hunter looks through the device, without extra zooming or adjustment. On the SX75LR 4.0, a 3.0x base magnification brings distant subjects closer while keeping the surrounding scene visible.
