Pulsar Pl77486 Merger Lrf Thermal Binocular 2-16X 50Mm Black Magnesium Alloy
The Pulsar Merger LRF thermal binocular combines precision rangefinding with high-definition thermal imaging in a rugged, professional-grade optic built for serious hunters, law enforcement, and tactical observers. This 2-16x 50mm thermal binocular pairs an integrated laser rangefinder accurate to 1,600 yards with a 1280x1024 thermal sensor, giving you both distance data and real-time target detection across vast distances—up to 2,500 yards for spotting human-sized objects in complete darkness or poor visibility.
The variable 2-16x magnification maintains exceptional image clarity at every zoom level, thanks to the large 1280x1024 HD thermal sensor and 50mm objective lens. You get a wide 17.5° field of view at base magnification, making initial scanning and target acquisition fast and intuitive, then zoom in to 16x for detailed analysis and positive identification. Eight selectable color palettes—White Hot, Black Hot, Red Hot, Rainbow, Ultramarine, Red Monochrome, Sepia, and Violet—let you dial in the thermal palette that works best for your specific conditions and observation duration.
Built for field duty, the Merger LRF is sealed to IPX7 waterproof standards (submersible to 3 feet for up to 30 minutes) and features a magnesium alloy body that handles hard use. The integrated proximity sensor automatically kills the display backlight when the binocular is pulled from your eyes, preserving covert operation and battery life. A 64GB internal recorder captures stills and video, which sync wirelessly via the Stream Vision 2 app to iOS and Android phones for remote viewing, cloud backup (16GB free), and easy social sharing. Intuitive button placement keeps all critical functions—rangefinding, recording, zoom, color mode—within one-handed reach.
