Superb image quality in this Pulsar Helion XP50. Despite humid conditions, the image remains crisp and clear after contrast and brightness adjustments to match the weather. Convenient size with adjustable hand strap makes it quick and easy to access while scanning. Also comes with durable carrying case with quick clip making it quick to access. Ive attached a shoulder strap to mine so i can quickly transition from scanning to swinging it around my shoulder to be ready to shoot game. I have used this unit to spot and identify hogs in the pouring rain at over 800 yards and 2,000 yards in good weather conditions.
Battery has lasted me over 6 hours of hunting time without turning it off.
Absolutely nothing bad to say about this unit. Only thing I would like to see improve on this unit is the quality of the lens cover that it comes with.
No complaints on this outstanding unit.

Ive had the Accolade for several weeks now and used it on about 5 hunts so far. This past weekend I used it for a 22hour, over night hog hunting tournament. Started using it for scanning around 8pm and didn't turn it off until 6am. Started off using the BPS battery holder which takes 3 AA batteries. I was please to find that it lasted 4.5 hours for me, I then switched over to the regular battery that the Accolade comes with which I used the remainder of the time hunting and it never died.
The Accolade unit itself preformed flawlessly allowing me to quickly locate and identify animals at long distances. I could clearly differentiate between deer/hog at distances of over 900 yards but could detect heat well over 1,800 yards. The picture remained clear and crisp despite humidity as we were hunting muddy bottom land near a river.

Overview of Pulsar Accolade XQ38:
-light weight and easy carrying with the neck strap
-clear crisp image allowing easy animal identification
-long battery life which lasted me the entire tournament
-LRF (rangfinder) allows you to easily and accurately gage how far away your target is. (this comes in handy as sometimes using a thermal can mess with your depth perception at night)
-Also has built in video recording with sound

Highly recommend this unit for hunting in wide open fields/spaces. Takes some getting used to for scanning in the woods or in tighter spaces as the base magnification is 3.1
