Liemke’s Luchs-2 Thermal Clip-On Device gets its name from the Lynx (German: Luchs) – a fast, silent, nighttime predator with eyes that are six times more sensitive to light than humans. This allows the Lynx to detect prey from long distances in complete darkness. Liemke’s Luchs-2 is the technological embodiment of the Lynx, and allows users to experience darkness through the eyes of a nocturnal hunter.
The Luchs-2 pairs perfectly with the majority of universal and driven hunt scopes via adapter (sold separately), but also works as a handheld thermal monocular. It comes equipped with a powerful 12 µm 640x512 VOx uncooled microbolometer and a 50mm/F1.0 objective lens. The powerful sensor combined with the large objective lens allows the Luchs-2 to detect heat signatures from up to 2500 meters (2734 yards) away. Heat signatures are viewable in five color modes – White Hot, Black Hot, Extra Dark, Red Hot, and Rainbow – as well as two “Sun” and “Rain” image modes to ensure optimum image rendition in different weather conditions. When attached to a riflescope, the Luchs-2 offers a generous field of view that completely fills the scope’s view even at low magnification. This makes the Luchs-2 ideal for use in dense forests and wide open fields alike.
In addition to its impressive thermal imaging capabilities, the Luchs-2 also offers intuitive operation. A three-position switch is easy to use even in the dark or when wearing gloves, and individually configurable modes provides a custom control set. Other features of the Luchs-2 include multimedia connectivity. This function can be used to share videos, photos, and live stream to a compatible device using the LIEMKE App. In addition, the Luchs-2 offers an extended battery life of 9 hours, and can be charged quickly through a USB-C port.
