PULSAR ANNOUNCEMENTS - NICE - 1024 RES - BALLISTIC CALCULATOR - AND MORE !

PULSAR MERGER LRF XL50

This is Pulsars first FULL HD 1024 resolution sensor model, bringing a wide field of view and stunning detail at close and long ranges.

Pulsar Thermion DUO DXP55

This is an alternative DUO model now with a higher 4.0x base magnification lens and the 4K sensor

Thermion 2 LRF XG50 and Talion XG35

Pulsars 12 micron 640 sensor hits the rifle scope models...

PULSAR BALLISTIC CALCULATOR - STREAM VISION

Utilising Stream Vision 2, you. can now enter all your projectile data and synchronise to your Pulsar LRF scope, this overlays an aiming reticule when using the single and scan function within the LRF. A much awaited release, and will make the full LRF lineup massively more appealing to a wide range of users.. Initial roll out will be with the XP LRF variant and later the XQ and XG LRF models..

 
Also in regard to this product..

Firstly the netD quoted is genuine....99% of Chinese manufacturers quote inaccurate, misleading netD, to achieve quoted figures with 384/640 12 micron sensors it's neigh on impossible to achieve this in true terms and software filters are used. Pulsar know these quoted figures are totally pulled out of the air and they quote as always true genuine figures, these are true figures via the black box method...,I would like to test the XL50 alongside some of the claimed netD spec models, because what you get in a lot of cases is fluffy clouds for terrain.. I have also tested some of the low netD models and some have tried to use a wide dynamic range to improve scene detail, this brings in other problems, it is horrendous finding dropped quarry up close...

Sensor wise, just as the difference between 384 vs 640 is stark. 1024 against 640 crams more pixels into the mix, providing more detail, this alongside the 12 micron pixel pitch offers the perfect allround wide field of view with long distance detail also via the increased 2300m detection range, so covers the full usage spectrum..

Some manufacturers have produced 50mm 12 micron 384 models. My opinion not worth a light, the field of view is horrendously reduced for scanning. This is improved by using a 640 12 micron model, which provides more detail and increases field of view. After using this specification in the field, I can confirm it is right on the limit of usability. Field of view is limited dramatically up close against a 17 micron 50mm model, long range detail is improved slightly, but the field of view reduction, like I say is border line.. This is were Pulsar know the field, by producing a 1024 sensor in 12 micron format brings everything together, it retains the field of view due to the larger sensor of a 2.5x 17 micron equivalent model, but also increases detection range, at double the mag the detail will still be retained.. it is the perfect mix.

I would say price will be around the £5500-£7000 but thats me just guessing figures..

The Merger XP50 LRF is still the best thermal binocular option on the market with true <25mk sensitivity, the Merger XL50 is due to land the 2nd quarter of 2023 and this as mentioned will bring both ends of FOV and Detection ranges together at HD resolution...the image will be immense but you will need deep pockets to own them..

The new XL50 has a NETD value <50 so will not be as good in poor conditions as the XP50, Not sure that’s worth paying £10,000 for a wider field of view and a <50 NETD value.

The Merger XP50 is going nowhere and like you say they both have equal fields of view , the XP50 will perform better in high humidity conditions, and has a lower price point.

The XL will give you more resolution and a bit more detection range , to be honest the XP is more than enough for most people , although some always want that bit more, so the XL might appeal to them users..
 
Hello Ian.

Have you maybe heard anything about possible launch of Axion XQ35 LRF PRO?
Thx
