Pulsar Telos XL50 Thermal Monocular
R74,999.00
Pulsar’s HD flagship. The Telos XL50 pairs a 1024×768 sensor with a fast 50 mm lens, so you can pick out a heat source at 2 300 m and tell exactly what it is. It’s built to be upgraded, so you can add a laser rangefinder later instead of buying a new device.
Description
Most thermal devices make you choose between seeing far and seeing clearly. The Telos XL50 does both. Its 1024×768 HD sensor has more than twice the pixels of a 640 model, behind a fast F50/1.0 lens that gathers as much heat as possible.
On a dark night, that means you don’t just see a warm shape on the far side of the valley. You can tell a kudu from a cow, a person from a post, and a vehicle from a rock, at distances where other devices show only a blur. It detects a large animal at up to 2 300 m, with smooth zoom from 2.5× to 20×, or 30× with Zoom Boost.
The Telos is built for long hours of use. The ambidextrous body sits naturally in either hand. The focus and zoom rings are at the front, with haptic feedback, so you can adjust them in the dark without looking. A sharp 1024×768 AMOLED display shows nine colour palettes.
The big LPS 7i battery runs for about 7 hours and swaps in seconds. It charges fast via USB Type-C Power Delivery. Record 1024×768 video and photos to 64 GB of built-in memory, or stream live to your phone with the Stream Vision 2 app over dual-band Wi-Fi.
The Telos is also built to be upgraded. You can add a laser rangefinder later, or upgrade the sensor or lens, so the device can grow with you instead of being replaced.
Why customers choose it:
- HD 1024×768 sensor: identify, don’t just detect
