HIKMICRO Gryphon GQ50L Pro LRF Thermal Monocular

HIK Micro Gryphon GQ50L Pro LRF Thermal Monocular

Introducing the latest addition to the Gryphon family, the high resolution, high magnification, 50mm Pro LRF.

This high specification pocket rocket delivers the detailed thermal image associated with HIKMICRO’s 640x512px, sub 35mk NETD sensor paired with a high quality 50mm lens system to deliver 2.9x magnification within the compact Gryphon chassis.

In addition to the high specification thermal channel – the Gryphon Pro 50mm is also fitted with an optical camera that can operate in low light and even complete darkness with the optional IR Torch attachment. This is effectively a Thermal and Night Vision Monocular in one.

The built-in 600m Laser Range Finder allows you to accurately judge the distance to the target in a choice of yards and metres, and there is the added option to choose between a single readings and scan mode.

The Gryphon chassis also introduces a range of new features. These include a jog wheel that allows you to scroll the magnification up and down as you would with a conventional optical scope, an optional Laser Range Finder and a removable 18650 battery. The large 1024x768 OLED display generates a bright and crisp view of your surroundings that’s easy on your eye.

At the centre of the Gryphon Pro is HIKMICRO’s 640x512px, 12µm thermal sensor with a sub-35mK NETD. This highly accurate thermal sensor is capable of detecting small temperature differences, building a highly detailed image, even in the harshest of conditions.

The thermal sensor is paired with HIKMICRO’s high performance 50mm focal length lens system which delivers 2.9x optical magnification, with up to 8x digital magnification, effectively making this a 2.9 – 23x monocular.

This is paired with a high-resolution optical camera that is capable of providing a detailed image both in daylight hours and in complete darkness using the optional IR torch. You can quickly switch between pure thermal view and the detailed optical mode to detect and accurately identify heat sources.

The Gryphon also includes the unique Fusion mode which adds the detail from the optical image to boost the performance of the thermal channel, delivering the ultimate in detection and detail.

The Gryphon uses an all new chassis design which has been developed to be easily held and operated in one hand. There are three buttons on the top of the unit make it easy to operate the Laser Range Finder and switch between image modes. HIKMICRO have also included a revolutionary jog wheel that falls comfortably to the tip of your index finger and can be used to scroll up and down the magnification like a conventional optical scope. This jog wheel is also used to quickly navigate the menu system.

The 600m Laser Range Finder is located on the left hand side of the unit in a compact housing and offers distance readings accurate to ±1m. When activated there is a small crosshair added to the display that can be used to target the Range Finder. Choose between spot mode for a single reading and scan mode for a constantly updating range reading.  

The Gryphon is also the first Monocular in the HIKMICRO range to be powered by the industry standard 18650 removable battery. This makes extended hunting trips possible without any power concerns. Replacement batteries are readily available and economical to buy. There is also a high specification charger included with your Gryphon, this provides detail on the charging status and health of your batteries ensuring that you aren’t caught in the field with no power.

There are lots of other small improvements that have been included, like the power button that includes a status light so you can see at a glance if the unit is powered on or in standby mode.

As with all other HIKMICRO thermal products you can access the HIKMICRO Sight App to stream, record and control your Gryphon. You can also record images and videos from your trips to the 16GB internal memory. The latest version of the T-Vision app offers extended features like access to the LRF, transferring images stored on the device into your phone and also the ability to install the latest firmware.

All thermal sensors used in HIKMICRO products are designed, developed and manufactured by HIKMICRO. This guarantees you unrivalled performance and value for money. You are also covered by the 3 year HIKMICRO UK warranty. Should you encounter a problem with your product, HIKMICRO has UK based technicians who can resolve any issues quickly.

For over 20 years Cheshire Gun Room Ltd has been exporting and importing firearms, worldwide, to destinations as far ranging as Europe and the US to Nepal, Australia and beyond. We can also deal with the imports and exports of accessories such as scopes, moderators, ammunition and most of the items displayed online.

From start to finish we endeavour to make the whole experience as pain-free as possible.

We are not only able to export guns that we have sold but can also arrange exports for 3rd parties, such as clients who have sold their guns to people abroad or customers looking to move to a different country. We can also assist other gun shops who have enquiries abroad.

If you need a gun moving in or out of the UK, we can usually help whatever the circumstances and wherever the destination.

We can import and export Section 1, Section 2, Section 5, Air Rifles and Antiques & De-activated weapons.

• Section 1: Bolt auction rifles, high capacity shotguns, long barrelled pistols
• Section 2: Any shotguns under 3 shots
• Section 5: Pistols, semi-automatic rifles, fully automatic rifles
• Antiques: Antique & deactivated weapons, show pieces, war pieces

We hold Open Licenses for Europe, USA, Australia, Canada, New Zealand. This greatly speeds up the export process to these destinations eliminating the need, in most cases, to apply for an export permit on a case by case basis.

The map below shows a selection of some of the places we have exported to over the years and the type of gun exported.

 Export Procedure – Some Key Points

• The main method of carriage we will use for transporting your goods will be Air Freight (sea freight and road freight are also available) and the service is known as Door To Port.  This means the guns will leave our premises and arrive at your nearest customs served International Airport from where you will arrange collection.  Shortly after shipping, you will receive an Airway Bill which will show flight numbers and arrival date.  You can then use this to arrange collection of your firearms from the airport.  Please note, it is your responsibility as the Importer to be sure of all import regulations and firearms law in your country.

• In the UK, air rifles are classed as firearms.  Because of this we are unable to use couriers such as Fed Ex, UPS etc to send the guns abroad, even if the gun requires no import paperwork in your country, which in a lot of cases they don’t, they must still be exported in the same way as a shotgun or a rifle and flown to an airport for you to collect.  The only exceptions to this are customers in Mainland Europe.  We can ship air rifles to these customers at a vastly reduced cost but only if they are UK Legal Limit I.E Sub 12 ft/lb rated.

• In almost all cases, any shotgun or rifle (and some air rifles) you intend to import will require an import license.  This is your responsibility to obtain and we can offer little assistance with this although we will help as much as we can.  Firearms licensing, police etc in your country should be able to offer better assistance.  Some antique firearms require no import license.  See below.

• Some countries have provisions for antique firearms including USA and Canada.  In these cases, providing the guns were manufactured before a certain date, you can forgo a lot of the standard import regulations.  This is especially helpful for customers wishing to purchase English Shotguns and Hammer Guns.  For example, if you are a US customer you can import a gun produced before 1898 without any import license, import broker or FFL dealer.

• Whatever the situation or however unsure you might be the best thing to do is get in contact straight away.  We are always happy to help and will endeavor to offer the best, most cost effective and quickest solution to your needs.  Our passion is guns and shooting, and we love to share that with our customers around the world!

You can contact us either by emailing exports@cheshiregunroom.com or by phone on +44 161 480 8222 Option 4 or direct on +44 161 475 0132.  We look forward to hearing from you soon! We aim to answer all enquiries within 24 hours on working days.

Please note we have staff available to speak/write in the following languages: English Greek, Arabic, Hindi, Punjabi, Urdu, French and Cantonese.

CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS

"These guys are top shelf folks. From the owner to all the employees I've met. Johnathan and Dan were especially helpful. Had several dealings with them over the last year or so. They ALWAYS went above and beyond to take care of me. Bought several items from them at the Northern Shooting Show. They pulled strings, and went out of their way to accommodate me. I'd rate them 10 stars if Google offered them! Fine folks."
