Absolutely the best thermal unit i’ve ever used - Pulsar Helion 2 XP50 Pro 2.5-20x Thermal Monocular

I relied a great deal on the reviews that were posted before mine and spent about a week looking at different scopes and comparing them online. The reviews that are posted here are entirely accurate and my experiences have been exactly the same as the people posting. PROS: The image quality is absolutely unbelievable. I own several thermal devices, including a rifle scope. None of my devices come close to this monocular in regards to image quality. The controls do take some getting used to, but they are manageable with a little practice. Connection to a smart phone is via Wi-Fi, and I had no issues whatsoever establishing a connection and transferring data, and I was able to control and remotely view the scope easily. The menu is intuitive and the learning curve for this device is short. A 1/4 inch socket is built into the body, making it ideal for use with a tripod or stabilizer. CONS: it comes with one battery; it would be ideal if two were supplied because the charging time is considerable, at least several hours. Taking a photograph as opposed to a video (which is by default) is not intuitive. The hand strap is situated directly above the battery, which makes changing the battery slightly clumsy. There is absolutely no internal stabilization of any kind which makes viewing at 20 X magnification challenging. BOTTOM LINE: this scope is completely worth the purchase price. Its sensitivity, clarity, and image quality might very well be the best available to consumers at the current time.
