We cannot comment on flying or traveling with these units. I very highly recommend that you read up on domestic and international restrictions on these units depending on where you are traveling too before you decide on traveling with the unit.

What’s the difference between the XQ 38 and the XQ 50 other than More zoom?

Expert Answer
A
Answered by Armando R., Gear Expert, from IL, United States, on March 05, 2020

That essentially is the difference. The XQ38 has a 32mm lens while the XQ50 has a 42mm lens. The larger lens will provide more magnification and farther detection range. The XQ38 has a 1350 meter maximum detection range while the XQ50 will have an 1800 meter maximum detection range. More magnification on the XQ50 will allow lessen the field of view.
