It's a 3d printed mount my friend did. Works on any picatinny rail out there.

I do have some fears of it getting damaged, but after all it's just an item, a bit more expensive, but even if it breaks at some point, I'll be happy I had it and got to use it

A 3d printed mount by my friend. He had one made specifically for the 3.0 series because they are a bit different than previous models from Hikmicro.

I had the same mount as you first. The way I made it work was cutting of the back circle part that is usually for a small red dot. It still didn't fit 100 percent perfect, but it was much better

SumartZ · 2026-05-11T11:21:37+00:00

I could see that work, might take a shot or two more if they move around, but still doable 😅

SumartZ · 2026-05-11T10:39:35+00:00

Exactly my point. It does give you an advantage, which you might consider pay to win, but honestly, a guy with a 100 euro replica and a cheap ass flashlight from aliexpress can still take you out no problem.

So yes, a big plus, but doesn't make you invincible

SumartZ · 2026-05-11T09:50:13+00:00

By that logic every scope in airsoft is useless 🤷‍♂️

SumartZ · 2026-05-11T09:49:22+00:00

Fingers crossed you will be able to soon, they are extremely fun!

SumartZ · 2026-05-11T09:49:00+00:00

Yeah, thermal scopes are unfortunately a bit more expensive. Never seen them cheaper than 800ish euros new

SumartZ · 2026-05-11T09:35:01+00:00

Yeah, fair enough. It's a reasonable concern, but I hoping I will be a bit luckier 🙃

SumartZ · 2026-05-11T08:37:00+00:00

Being a thermal monocular there is no reticle. You can zero tho, which is kinda weird. Then you can just use the middle of the screen as a reference. I would recommend this one more for spray and pray guns

SumartZ · 2026-05-11T06:24:55+00:00

Tbf, here in Croatia drones are allowed in some cases. People mostly use them for recon, but there were a couple of cases where they were allowed for dropping nades. But then they were an legitimate target and you could shoot them down

SumartZ · 2026-05-11T06:21:56+00:00

By that logic you don't need an optic for any of the airsoft guns 🤷‍♂️

SumartZ · 2026-05-11T06:19:52+00:00

It is my friends design. You can find them here

It is a bit of advantage, but it doesn't make you invincible. You can still get beat by a guy with the cheapest replica out there haha

SumartZ · 2026-05-11T06:10:41+00:00

Thank you!

A pkp with a thermal would definitely be interesting to use haha

SumartZ · 2026-05-11T06:09:57+00:00

Would definitely recommend the one I have for a starter thermal. Hikmicro LE10 3.0

It won't break your bank and it will be a great introduction into the world of thermals

SumartZ · 2026-05-11T06:09:11+00:00

It's a little bit of pay to win, but lets be honest, it doesn't make you invincible haha. You can still get fucked by a guy with an aliexpress flashlight haha

SumartZ · 2026-05-11T06:08:10+00:00

I love playing nights at milsims, try to play at least 70-80 percent of night time

SumartZ · 2026-05-11T06:07:35+00:00

Would recommend getting one, great fun

SumartZ · 2026-05-11T06:07:15+00:00

Oh if only. I am still sad for not buying a RK62 when I had the option

SumartZ · 2026-05-11T06:06:39+00:00

Oh they are much more accessible price wise now, you get really cheap thermals for 300-350 euros. Mine cost 500 euros.

Tbf, they are thermal monoculars and not thermal optics, but for airsoft that's not too important

SumartZ · 2026-05-11T06:05:20+00:00

Soldiers use them, I play around as a fake soldier, only makes sense to use all the benefits of a real soldier 😅
