The HIKMICRO NEOS NE25 thermal riflescope is the ultimate entry-level optoelectronic solution for hunters and outdoor enthusiasts looking for premier thermal performance in a lightweight, user-friendly, and highly reliable platform. Designed with a traditional 30 mm tube profile, the NE25 model distinguishes itself within the new NEOS lineup as the streamlined, essential version, purposefully built without an integrated laser rangefinder (LRF) or ballistic calculator. This specific configuration delivers unmatched structural agility and a remarkably low weight of just 540 g, minimizing fatigue during long stalks. At its core, the scope deploys an uncooled VOx 256×192 thermal sensor with a 12 μm pixel pitch, paired with a high-grade 25 mm F1.0 objective lens. Boasting a class-leading thermal sensitivity with a NETD under 18 mK, the NE25 produces incredibly sharp, high-contrast thermal imagery, preserving fine details even in pitch darkness or severe weather conditions like heavy fog, rain, and dense smoke. Observation through the 0.49-inch AMOLED display remains seamless due to the built-in HSIS (HIKMICRO Shutterless Image System), which completely eradicates screen freezing and clicking noises caused by periodic shutter calibrations. With a 3.5x native optical magnification, expanding up to 24.5x via digital zoom powered by the Zoom Pro algorithm, and a detection range extending up to 1200 meters, it stands out as an optimized tool for wide, open terrains.

Package content: The retail package contains the HIKMICRO NEOS NE25 thermal riflescope, a quick start guide, a USB Type-C data/charging cable, a lint-free microfiber lens cloth, one rechargeable 18650 battery, and a dedicated external battery charger.

Usage and maintenance instructions: Mount the scope to your rifle platform utilizing standard 30 mm mounting rings matched to your specific rail setup (e.g., Picatinny). Turn on the device by holding down the power button for a rapid 1-second startup. To zero the optic, utilize the Freeze Zeroing utility through the onboard menu or via the HIKMICRO Sight mobile app, storing your custom parameters under one of the 5 storage profiles. Focus the environment by rotating the manual objective ring at the front, and calibrate display clarity using the diopter ring on the eyepiece. For maintenance, blow off coarse dust from the lenses before wiping them gently with the supplied microfiber cloth; do not use industrial solvents. For extended storage, extract the external 18650 cell and cycle the internal battery periodically to safeguard overall battery health.

Safety warnings, product integrity, and legal notice: This device is a high-precision optoelectronic thermal imaging instrument intended for outdoor and hunting applications, fully compliant with European product safety criteria and GPSR guidelines. Hunting implementation or attachment to live firearms is strictly subject to local, regional, and national legislative frameworks; the user bears sole responsibility for verifying legal compliance. Never point the thermal objective directly at high-intensity energy sources like the sun or industrial laser beams, as this will trigger permanent damage to the uncooled VOx array.

Deploying the HIKMICRO NEOS NE25 grants smooth tracking and unprecedented image clarity within its class, offering the perfect solution for users seeking shutterless performance and the purity of a lightweight, essential optoelectronic layout.
