Choosing a HIKMICRO Alpex Pro
Both Alpex Pro models share the same sensor, lens and body. The choice comes down to the rangefinder and how you plan to light up the dark.
A50P or A50PL?
Pick the A50PL if you shoot past 150 m or on hilly ground. It adds a built-in laser rangefinder that measures from 3 m to 1200 m and feeds the ballistic calculator. The A50P is the same scope without it, for closer shooting where you already know your distances.
What does 12 MP give you?
The 4512 × 2512 sensor holds more detail as you zoom through the 4–24× range, which helps when identifying an animal before taking a shot.
Do you need an extra IR torch?
For dusk and moonlit nights the Light Pro processing does a lot of the work. In full darkness, an
IR torch on a mount extends what you can see. That is why the Alpex Pro is also offered in torch bundles.
HIKMICRO Alpex Pro FAQs
Is the HIKMICRO Alpex Pro suitable for daytime hunting?
Yes. In daylight the Alpex Pro shows a full-colour image with a 1920 × 1080 AMOLED display, so it works as a regular day scope with video recording built in. It switches to night mode in black and white, green or yellow, or you can leave it on auto. It mounts in standard 30 mm rings and is IP67 waterproof.
How long does the battery last?
It uses internal batteries plus a replaceable 18650 cell, giving up to 7 hours of continuous use with the rangefinder on. Carry a spare 18650 for long nights.
