Choosing a HIKMICRO Alpex 4K
The A50E and A50EL share a 3840 × 2160 sensor, 50 mm lens and 3.5–28× zoom. The rangefinder and how far you shoot are what separate them.
A50E or A50EL?
The A50EL adds a laser rangefinder that reads out to 1000 m, which is worth having for shots past 150 m or across gullies. The A50E suits closer work, such as foxes over a whistle or pigs on a crop edge.
Why an adjustable aperture?
The lens runs from F1.2 to F2.5. Wide open it gathers more light at dusk and under infrared; closed down it gives more depth of field in daylight, so near and far targets stay sharp.
How does it handle long nights?
Up to 11 hours of run time means most nights finish on one charge. Add an
IR torch for full darkness.
HIKMICRO Alpex 4K FAQs
Is the HIKMICRO Alpex 4K a good all-round day and night scope?
For most Australian hunting, yes. It works as a colour day scope with 8× base magnification, then switches to an infrared-lit image at night. It mounts in standard 30 mm rings and is IP67 waterproof. If weight matters more than lens size, the Alpex 4K Lite is the lighter alternative.
What is the difference between the Alpex 4K and the Alpex Pro?
The Alpex Pro steps up to a 12 MP sensor and an F1.8 lens with Light Pro processing. The Alpex 4K gives a wider zoom range and longer battery life.
