The Pulsar Telos XG50 is a premium thermal imaging monocular designed for users who demand cutting-edge performance, long-term value, and true all-weather capability. Built around a highly sensitive 640×480, 12 μm, <40 mK NETD European-made Lynred sensor, it delivers exceptional thermal clarity with a remarkable 2300-metre detection range, ensuring you never miss detail , day or night, in rain, fog, snow, or high humidity.
As part of Pulsar’s new fully upgradeable platform, the Telos XG50 is engineered to evolve with you. Its modular design allows users to upgrade key technical components over time, from a more sensitive sensor to advanced electronics or even a precision laser rangefinder. This future-proof approach provides a more cost-effective way of staying ahead of technological advancements without replacing the entire device.
Image quality is exceptional thanks to Pulsar’s Image Boost technology, which enhances fine detail, sharpens long-range objects, and renders complex, low-contrast scenes with outstanding clarity. Manual sensitivity adjustment improves detection in poor conditions, while a smoothing filter and wide brightness/contrast range ensure fatigue-free viewing during long sessions. Paired with the fast 50mm f1.0 germanium lens, the Telos XG50 produces crisp, high-contrast images even in the harshest weather.
Designed with field use in mind, the Telos XG50 offers ergonomic, camera-style operation with intuitive top-panel controls, a rotatable hand strap for left- or right-handed use, and traditional focusing and magnification rings for smooth, precise adjustments. The experience can be tailored even further via customisable controls and a reorderable menu system, allowing quick access to your most-used functions.
For situational awareness and specialist tasks, the device includes eight colour palettes. White Hot, Black Hot and Red Hot aid object detection; Rainbow and Ultramarine improve recognition and identification; while Red Monochrome, Sepia, and Violet support comfortable extended viewing.
Built to endure real-world conditions, the Telos XG50 features a rubber-armoured reinforced polymer housing offering secure grip, high durability, and easy cleaning. Its IPX7 waterproof rating ensures reliable performance even after submersion, while the unit remains fully operational from -25°C to +40°C, making it a dependable companion in every season.
With a built-in still image and video recorder (with audio), plus a generous 64GB internal memory, capturing and storing your observations is effortless. Connectivity comes via dual-band Wi-Fi, enabling full integration with Stream Vision 2 for remote control, live viewing, media transfer, and seamless firmware updates.
Powered by the long-lasting LPS 7i Li-Ion battery pack, the Telos XG50 offers up to 8.5 hours of operation, with USB-C Power Delivery compatibility for extended use in the field. Despite its robust build and powerful optics, it remains compact and lightweight at just 720g including the battery.
