Description
The Merger LRF XL50 brings HD thermal imaging to binoculars. Its 1024×768, 12 µm sensor has more than twice the pixels of a 640 sensor. With both eyes on the image, detail is easy to read: you can tell a person from a post, or a jackal from a dog, at distances where other devices show a blur.
A fast F50/1.0 germanium lens gathers as much heat as possible, giving a large animal detection range of up to 2 300 m. Smooth zoom runs from 2.5× to 20× to check what you’ve found. The built-in laser rangefinder measures distance out to about 1 000 m, which is useful for patrol planning, search grids and incident reports.
Two high-contrast HD AMOLED displays show the image in eight colour palettes. Power comes from a built-in battery plus a removable APS 3 pack, giving about 7 hours of continuous use with quick-charge support over USB Type-C. Record video and photos to 64 GB of built-in memory, or stream live to your phone with the Stream Vision 2 app.
The classic, compact binocular shape sits comfortably in two hands. It’s IPX7 waterproof and works from −25 to +50 °C, so it handles a cold Karoo night and a hot Lowveld one alike.
