The Pulsar Telos XP50 thermal imaging monocular brings professional-grade heat detection to hunters, property managers, search-and-rescue teams, and anyone who needs reliable thermal vision in total darkness or harsh weather. This isn't a budget entry point—it's a modular, upgradeable thermal optic built for serious users who demand precision and longevity. The Telos XP50 pairs a high-resolution 640×480 uncooled thermal sensor with an advanced F50/1.0 objective lens and smooth camera-like zoom control, giving you the thermal detail and range you need without the complexity.
What sets the Telos XP50 apart is its ability to see farther and clearer than most thermal monos in its class. The <18 mK NETD sensor and Pulsar's image processing deliver sharp, refined thermal signatures even when conditions are brutal—snow, rain, fog, or total darkness. At x2.5 to x10 magnification (4× zoom), you can identify heat sources smoothly across a detection range exceeding 1,800 meters. The one-motion adjustment ring lets you zoom and focus together without breaking your sight picture, a refinement borrowed from professional camera design.
Built for the long haul, the Telos XP50 runs from -25° to +40°C and carries an IP67 waterproof rating, meaning it handles everything from arctic expeditions to humid lowlands. The included LPS 7i lithium-ion battery delivers over 8 hours of runtime and charges via any USB-C device—or wirelessly if you're at camp. An AMOLED HD display (1024×768) keeps your image crisp, and 64 GB of onboard storage records thermal video and stills in standard formats (.mp4 and .jpg). Wi-Fi connectivity lets you stream to Stream Vision 2 compatible devices for remote monitoring or share footage after the hunt.
Pulsar engineered this monocular with modularity in mind: components are designed to be upgraded as your needs evolve, so you're investing in a platform, not just a one-time tool. Whether you're glassing a ridge at midnight, conducting a security sweep, or documenting nocturnal wildlife, the Telos XP50 brings thermal clarity and confidence to every mission.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the detection range of the Telos XP50 thermal monocular?
The Telos XP50 has a detection range exceeding 1,800 meters, capable of identifying human-sized heat sources even in harsh weather, darkness, or poor visibility. The high-sensitivity <18 mK NETD sensor and F50/1.0 objective lens work together to maximize thermal detail at distance.
How long does the battery last, and how do I charge it?
The LPS 7i lithium-ion battery provides over 8 hours of runtime at 22°C. It charges via USB-C Power Delivery (supporting 5 V and 9 V inputs)—meaning you can use any standard USB-C charger, including most cell phone chargers. The battery also supports wireless charging when you're at base camp or have access to a compatible charger.
Can I record video and photos with the Telos XP50?
Yes. The monocular records thermal video in .mp4 format and captures thermal photos as .jpg files, both at 1024×768 resolution. It includes 64 GB of onboard storage, and you can stream live thermal imagery to compatible Stream Vision 2 devices via Wi-Fi for remote viewing or recording.
Is the Telos XP50 waterproof, and what temperature range does it handle?
The Telos XP50 carries an IP67 waterproof rating, making it suitable for submersion, heavy rain, and wet environments. It operates reliably across -25° to +40°C, so it functions in arctic conditions, tropical heat, and everything in between.
