Pulsar XM30 - discontinued

[rnjc]

Morning,

With Pulsar no longer making the Key 22 or Axion 30, has anyone heard whether they are releasing a new entry-level thermal or leaving the cheaper end of the spectrum altogether? I suppose that leaves Hik as the main supplier of entry thermals?

thanks

Compact AXION XM30F Thermal Imaging Monoculars | Pulsar

These lightweight thermal imaging monoculars feature a frost-resistant AMOLED display which allows you to observe targets even in harsh weather conditions.

It does not appear in stocks yet.
I expected to see this in stores before christmas, since it has been announced in the begining of November, but was wrong obviously.

Cheers

It is actually updated xm30 key.
Now it has ability to record videos and pictures.
AMOLED display enables it to operates at -20, but display resolution is rather low 640x480.
Everything else is more or less the same.
It should cost around 1200€.

Cheers

What's different from this to the xm30s?

Smaller display and 400€ lower price.
Sometimes Pulsar policy is dificult to understand.

OK so this solves a deep argument I had over xmas. A mate sent me some images from his "XM30." I kept saying it can't be a XM30 because I have one and it doesn't share pictures.

If anyone from Axion is ready this, you make good thermals, but your naming convention sucks and causes a lot of confusion!

couldn't agree more!

I'm not sure i need wifi and the ability to export images so hopefully i'll be able to pick up an old XM30 a bit cheaper when the new model comes out

I would be happy with only an on/off switch! Having tried all the features on my Pulsar, I have returned everything to factory settings. I don't find focus makes much difference either, I just keep it somewhere in the middle.
