Pulsar Telos XP50

The Pulsar Telos XP50 is the successor to Pulsar's flagship Helion 2 XP50 Pro. It is an advanced thermal imaging camera designed for precise wildlife work, providing highly detailed images.

As Pulsar's first upgradeable thermal imaging monocular, starting in 2024, the Telos range will include interchangeable optics, higher resolution sensors, and more. These updates will ensure that the Telos remains a cutting-edge and cost-effective device.

Much like its predecessor, the Telos is:

• Outstanding for observing mammals from bats to red deer
• Excellent for monitoring den boxes and bird boxes out to approximately 60m+
• Excellent for long range observations of medium to large mammals out to 1,800m (e.g. foxes, red deer)
• Good for observing medium and large birds out to medium range (e.g. blackbirds, geese)
• Good for observing smaller mammals out to medium range (e.g. bats, mice)

The Telos has a number of customisable features. The attachable hand strap can be positioned on either side of the device, enhancing comfort for left and right handed users. Additionally, the user interface layout and button functions can be customised based on user preferences.

The Telos Pro retains the excellent features of its predecessors. It boasts instant start-up, allowing quick field use, and includes a Picture in Picture function that enables zooming in on a secondary image while maintaining the overall field of view. It offers 8 thermal colour palettes for image customization and can record video at a resolution of 1024x768, saving it to an expanded internal 32GB memory. Additionally, the Telos Pro is equipped with a WiFi module that allows live streaming from the camera and adjustment of settings through the free Stream Vision 2 app.

Designed to withstand various environmental conditions, the Telos Pro can operate in temperatures ranging from -25°C to 40°C. It also holds an IPX7 waterproof rating, ensuring protection against water immersion. The Telos features a rechargeable LPS 7i battery with up to 8.5 hours of battery life and wireless charging support.

The Telos is backed by a three-year warranty, while the rechargeable battery is covered for one year.
