Two powerful additions have been made to Pulsar’s range of Axion thermal imaging monoculars in the form of the Axion 2 XG35 and its laser rangefinder-equipped counterpart, the Axion 2 LRF XG35. With a wide range of features packed into a compact and lightweight design that easily fits in a pocket, these devices are perfect for those who require a little dexterity when out in the field.
Pristine Thermal Imagery
Both models feature a highly sensitive 640×480, 12µm, <40mK NETD thermal sensor, combined with a powerful Germanium 35mm f1.0 objective lens. This offers a detection range of up to 1750m when observing a 1.8m tall human or deer shaped object.
With an optical magnification of 2.5x -20x via an 8x digital zoom, these devices achieve excellent object recognition at considerable distances. This zoom can be altered by either x2 steps, or in a continuous motion for an optimised, customisable field of view.
Crystal-clear thermal imagery is presented onto a high contrast 1024×768 HD AMOLED display, with the Axion 2 XG35’s enhanced image processing algorithms working to provide high quality rendering of both target objects and background.
Three levels of signal amplification are available on both devices (Normal, High, and Ultra), combined with a connected smoothing filter and fine brightness and contrast adjustments to provide greater opportunities in terms of the long-range detection of an animal and its extremities in varying weather and temperature conditions.
Built-In Precision Laser Rangefinder – Axion 2 XG35 LRF
The Axion 2 LRF XG35 model features a seamlessly integrated precision laser rangefinder, which provides a measuring range of up to 1000m. Accurate distances can be measured in a single step or continuous scanning modes. The rangefinder is accurate at up to ±1m, allowing for quick and accurate, error-free assessments within the observation area.
Reliable Battery Life for Lengthy Observation
The Axion 2 XG35 models use an APS5 rechargeable battery to reliably operate for up to 7 hours on a single charge (depending on temperature), thereby taking the worry out of extended periods of observation. It takes just seconds to remove and replace the battery, and recharging is as simple as placing the battery into its charging dock or plugging directly into a PC or household power system via a USB-C cable.
Lightweight and Durable Housing
Despite their compact size, the Axion 2 XG35 & Axion 2 LRF XG35 have been designed with constant and hard use in mind. The magnesium alloy housing, though extremely light, is also incredibly strong. This housing reliably protects the internal components from shocks, drops, moisture, heat, and cold, whilst also acting as a heat sink to remove any heat generated by the internal electronics, thereby minimising image noise and increasing operational consistency over long periods of observation.
The devices have an IPX7 rating, which means they are capable of withstanding any splashes of water and even being dipped in water up to a depth of one metre for thirty minutes.
Dual-Band Wi-Fi
A built-in, dual-band Wi-Fi module (2.4/5GHz) vastly improves bandwidth and connection stability across both devices, as well as providing a faster rate of data transfer for more reliable communication between of thermal imager and smartphone.
Packed with Digital Functionalities
Both models come crammed with helpful digital functionalities, including a built-in still image and video recorder which allows users to capture pictures or videos with audio of memorable moments, storing them either to the device’s 16GB of internal storage, or to the free 16GB of cloud storage offered via the Stream Vision 2 app.
The Axion 2 XG35 and XG35 LRF also have a Picture-in-Picture option, a feature which allows you to display a zoomed in zeroing frame at the top of the display. This frame can be magnified by x2 or x4, without losing any visual control over the field of view.
Additionally, Stream Vision 2 compatibility opens up a whole new variety of connectivity options, from live view and remote control to video playback and firmware updates. The app is available for free for Android and iOS.
