Hikmicro Alpex Pro in UK

[Rural Management Services]

I think many on here will be interested in the first / last light ability (without IR) for stalking. My instinct is the new model will be lighter, have a less grainy daytime or illuminated image BUT not be quite as good at first / last light as the 4K.

That was my plan as I am more stalking biased as a user anyway.

Exactly that^
I’ve got one. The 4k is a bit better for last light with no illuminator, but the pro is a clearer day channel AND lighter.

By how much? Obviously it will be better than glass still at last light?

A few out for delivery now. Pity DPD will take 3 days if shipped today. Just what everyone needs after the wait.

There you go, real world, none of the above sales blather about performance and a couple of hundred grams.

Chap just posted footage and the image on the 4k still wins


That’s not to say that in time the firmwares won’t change that , but for now ….

The older one is a better image

 

[Adders]

The 4k isn’t a “better” image.
But It does last longer, into the evening, without an IR illuminator.

 

[Grand Slam]

If DPD are correct then I’ll have mine in a couple hours and hopefully zero it this afternoon

 

[Hill searcher]

Hope you get it.Unfortunately shipped yesterday and for me it's Monday to transport it 100 miles.

 

[jaffa]

Hope to get mine today.

Off the footage I wouldn’t be selling mine anytime soon

Is that because of the smaller lense in the objective with what ever they have done?

 

[kingstonandy]

Mine has arrived. So has the rain, so it won't get zero'd today. It looks and feels like an improvement over the 4k.

 

[DavyG]

So much for the “Pro blowing the 4K out of the water”…”The difference is like night & day”. More Hik hype me thinks…

Can someone please make a comparison in sizes? I am wondering if my single piece Innomount can also accept Pro version.

 

[ColinBr]

I never thought the Pro would have a better image, especially in low light.
The big thing going for the Pro is less weight and far better ergonomics.

 

[Hill searcher]

The innomount will fit and room for the hik IR mount. Just did one.

 

[Nickb]

Will be keeping my 4k judging by the above.

 

[One on top of two]

Alpex 4k , clear winner in that Head to Head from what i have just watched .
