The British Shooting Show 2025 brought together the biggest names in the industry, and one of the standout brands, as ever, was HIKMICRO. Known for its cutting-edge thermal optics and night vision technology, HIKMICRO continues to push the boundaries of what’s possible in the field.
In an exclusive interview, Gunstar’s George O’Leary sat down with Paul from HIKMICRO to discuss their latest innovations, including the highly anticipated FALCON 2.0, CONDOR 2.0, HABROK Pro HX60L and the revolutionary show Health Hub.
What is ‘One-Handed Mastery’ in Thermal Optics?
Traditionally, thermal scopes and monoculars required two hands for smooth operation - one for stability and another to adjust focus. But with HIKMICRO’s latest technology, the FALCON 2.0 and CONDOR 2.0 have been designed for effortless, single-handed use with the focus wheel being a one-handed operation.
- Ergonomic Build – Redesigned for perfect balance and grip, even in challenging conditions.
- Simplified Controls – Easily focus using just your finger.
- Enhanced Stability – Designed to reduce hand fatigue, making extended use more comfortable.
Paul from HIKMICRO demonstrated this game-changing feature to George, showing just how quickly users can focus targets without needing to fumble with multiple controls.
