Hikvision Hikmicro Stellar SX60LS 3.0 thermal imaging sight (308101566)

The HIKMICRO Stellar SX60LS 3.0 thermal imaging riflescope with an integrated laser rangefinder represents the newest generation of advanced hunting optoelectronics. This model stands out not only for its exceptional image quality and extremely long detection range, but also for its distinctive design inspired by classic rifle scopes. Thanks to this traditional form factor, users can continue to use standard scope mounts while maintaining the familiar look and handling of conventional optics, all while benefiting from modern thermal imaging technology.

The device is equipped with a built-in laser rangefinder that allows precise distance measurement up to 1,000 meters, enabling accurate ballistic corrections before taking a shot.

Generation 3.0 of the HIKMICRO Stellar series offers:

• An advanced thermal sensor with an unprecedented 1280 × 1024 resolution and 12 μm pixel pitch

• Enhanced thermal sensitivity down to 15 mK

• 50 Hz refresh rate for smooth image display

• A larger 1.03-inch OLED display with 2560 × 2560 resolution, ensuring precise visualization of temperature differences

• Increased detection distance of up to 3,100 meters

• Battery life of up to 6 hours and 30 minutes, ideal for extended hunts

• An integrated laser rangefinder built into the scope body, allowing accurate distance measurement up to 1,000 meters

The Stellar thermal imaging riflescopes combine tradition with modernity. Their design closely resembles classic optical scopes and avoids the bulky, angular appearance typical of many thermal devices. All advanced electronics are housed inside the scope body, preserving a familiar profile. The latest Generation 3.0 models feature significantly improved sensitivity and quiet, shutterless calibration.

A major enhancement is the introduction of the Image Pro 3.0 image processing algorithm. As of 30 May 2025, this update is available for the Stellar 3.0, Thunder 3.0, Falcon 2.0, and Condor 2.0 series, fundamentally improving how targets and surroundings are displayed.

Key features of Image Pro 3.0 include:

• Automatic target highlighting, which clearly separates game from the background even in dense vegetation or low-light conditions

• Exceptional sharpness, preserving fine details such as antlers, fur texture, and muscle definition from 50 to 300 meters, even at high magnification

• Enhanced situational awareness, with accurate rendering of terrain, vegetation, and obstacles

• Instant clarity, ensuring every glance through the scope delivers a sharp, analysis-ready image without delay

The HIKMICRO Stellar SX60LS 3.0 thermal imaging scope offers an extensive set of practical features:

• Extremely long detection range of 3,100 meters

• Integrated laser rangefinder with 1,000-meter measurement capability

• Traditional riflescope-style design

• High-resolution thermal sensor delivering excellent image detail

• 2560 × 2560 OLED display for clear target visualization

• Optical and digital zoom for precise identification

• Photo capture and video recording to internal memory

• Automatic shot recording, saving up to 15 seconds before and after recoil detection

• 64 GB internal storage

• Large, glove-friendly control buttons

• Five selectable color palettes for optimal contrast

• Built-in Wi-Fi for image transfer to mobile devices

• Rugged anodized aluminum housing with high shock resistance

• Dual power system supporting two battery types

• External power support via USB-C

• Easy mounting using standard scope rings

Designed for demanding night hunting, the Stellar SX60LS 3.0 is built around a 1280 × 1024 VOx microbolometer sensor with a 12 μm pixel size and sensitivity below 15 mK. Paired with a high-quality OLED display, this setup delivers a high-contrast, detailed image in all conditions.

The scope features a fixed optical magnification of 2.5×, well suited for medium-distance shooting. Digital zoom extends up to 28.5×, supported by Picture-in-Picture (PiP) mode, which magnifies the target in a dedicated window while maintaining full situational awareness of the surroundings.

The device also benefits from highly intuitive and user-friendly software. Navigation is simple and fast, aided by large buttons and a clear menu structure. A wide selection of reticle styles allows precise customization, while multiple color palettes help adapt the image to varying terrain and weather conditions.

Constructed from anodized aluminum, the housing mirrors the appearance of traditional scopes and withstands recoil forces up to 1,000 G, making it suitable for powerful calibers such as 9.3 × 64 mm.

An important feature is automatic shot recording. Upon detecting recoil, the scope automatically saves a video clip covering 15 seconds before and after the shot, for a total of up to 30 seconds. This function can be disabled at any time. Recordings can be reviewed directly on the scope display or transferred to a mobile device for slow-motion playback, helping hunters verify shot placement and uphold ethical hunting standards.

The dual power system combines an internal rechargeable battery with a removable 18650 battery. Power is drawn first from the removable cell, then seamlessly switches to the internal battery. This design allows battery replacement without shutting down the device, extending runtime as long as spare batteries are available. Charging is supported via the built-in USB-C port.
