HIKMICRO Gryphon GQ35 Fusion Thermal Imaging Monocular

The HIKMICRO Gryphon GQ35 Fusion Thermal Imaging Monocular is a versatile handheld thermal device designed for detailed scanning, observation, and situational awareness in low-visibility environments. By combining thermal imaging with visible-light optics, it delivers enhanced image clarity across daylight, low-light, and complete darkness.

Developed by HIKMICRO, the Gryphon GQ35 integrates fusion imaging technology, a high-resolution thermal sensor, and an intuitive control layout in a compact and rugged design suitable for demanding outdoor and professional use.

Thermal and Optical Imaging Performance

The Gryphon GQ35 is built around a 640 × 512 uncooled thermal sensor with a 12 µm pixel pitch and a NETD of 35 mK, enabling reliable thermal contrast and consistent detection even in complex temperature environments. A 35 mm F1.0 lens provides an excellent balance between field of view and long-range detection, supporting efficient scanning and confident target identification.

The device offers 2× optical magnification, supported by digital zoom up to 8×, allowing flexible observation across short, medium, and long distances. Manual focus from 3 metres to infinity enables precise image adjustment for both close-range inspection and distant targets.

Fusion Imaging and Viewing Modes

Fusion imaging technology allows thermal and visible imagery to be viewed independently or combined in a single display. This enhances edge definition, object outlines, and scene context, making it easier to interpret complex environments where visual detail and thermal detection are both important.

Multiple image modes are available to suit different conditions and user preferences, including White Hot, Black Hot, Red Hot, Thermal, Visible, and Fusion modes.

Imagery is displayed on a high-resolution 1024 × 768 OLED screen with a 50 Hz refresh rate, delivering smooth image rendering and clear detail during extended handheld use.

Detection, Recognition, and Identification Capability

The Gryphon GQ35 provides strong detection, recognition, and identification performance across a range of target types, supporting confident situational awareness at distance:

• Detection: Rabbit up to 525 m, Person up to 1847 m, Vehicle up to 4472 m
• Recognition: Rabbit up to 131 m, Person up to 461 m, Vehicle up to 1118 m
• Identification: Rabbit up to 65 m, Person up to 230 m, Vehicle up to 559 m

Power System and User Interface

The device is powered by a single replaceable 18650 battery, providing up to approximately 5 hours of operating time. The quick-change battery design supports extended field sessions with minimal downtime.

An integrated control-wheel navigation system enables intuitive one-handed operation, allowing fast access to image modes, zoom levels, and system settings without distraction.

Rugged Construction for Harsh Environments

Designed for reliable operation in challenging conditions, the Gryphon GQ35 features a durable housing with full IP67-rated protection. This provides resistance to dust, heavy rain, and temporary water immersion, while supporting use across a wide operating temperature range.
