Pulsar Axion 2 XQ35 LRF owner reviews
- Thread starter @theroedeerguy
- Start date
I did the same upgrade from Helion XQ38 to Axion2 XG35 but without the rangefinder, sold my old one to a mate and we did a comparison one night looking at Fallow, the difference it like comparing regular TV to TV in HD plus with Pulsar there is an inherent good build quality and ease of use. Other opinions will follow
Yes there is it’s one of the first tier functions from main menuHmmm. Away from home for a while so going from memory (dangerous) but there is a Pixel Repair function in the Axion - might be worth a try…
Same story point by point from my experience of BO and Ian, great service, I initially had a problem and had to call him, turned out it was user error not product error ( How often is that the case with Tech, considered reading the full user guide but it felt unmanly!!)
While using the 3 week old Axion the viewfinder went blank, then a red backround appeared which pulsed off and on.
(None of the indication symbols visible through the viewfinder, never mind any thermal image.)
Switched the Axion off and back on. No image on viewfinder, then after about 6 seconds the red background appeared again and pulsed off and on.
Tried again with spare fully charged battery and later on with Pulsar mains cable.
Same fault arose.
Contacted supplier who referred me to Thomas Jacks, who then advised me to send the Axion to them for repair.

After reading all the reviews, I bought the XQ38F and although I thought it was very expensive, it has performed faultlessly, I sprung for a spare battery and never needed it as the battery life is excellent, yes, the digital zoom is not particularly helpful, mine is always on 3x and for several minutes I did embarrassingly stalk a lone sheep once (don't tell anyone) but I have looked through a lot of these at shows and I have not seen one that would make me replace the XQ38F, its a real well made, well designed tool, easy to use with good software as well. All you need is a heat signal at a good distance, then its up to you..

Surly it’s not down to you , but the seller
You wouldn’t by a new car then send it back to the factory yourself
Cars and thermal are not the same thing
As long as you have the original proof of purchase, any Pulsar owner can contact Thomas Jacks directly and have their NV/thermal device repaired/replaced/serviced
Going directly to Thomas Jacks tends to be much quicker than going through the seller (who would just send it to Thomas Jacks anyway)
Cheers

“All you need is a heat signal at a good distance, then its up to you..”.
As someone who entered the world of thermal just twelve months ago this is precisely what I have found - particularly for foxes. Thermal spotters have utterly transformed shooting day and night and in a very, very short time frame - bells and whistles are great and you gets what you pay for (if you can afford it) but more often than not I have found that experience of the way a heat signature behaves/moves at great distance tells you all you need to know. Add to the mix a little bit of fieldcraft getting into range then it really is up to you.
Other views are of course available…..

That is not what I stated in my post.
Mealiejimmy is spot on in what he says.
Quicker off sending Pulsar units directly to Thomas Jacks for repair/servicing.
