9.5/10Pulsar Telos XP50
New to thermal tech? We explain it all here...The Pulsar Telos XP50 is the successor to Pulsar's flagship Helion 2 XP50 Pro. It is an advanced thermal imaging camera designed for precise wildlife work, providing highly detailed images.
As Pulsar's first upgradeable thermal imaging monocular, starting in 2024, the Telos range will include interchangeable optics, higher resolution sensors, and more. These updates will ensure that the Telos remains a cutting-edge and cost-effective device.
Much like its predecessor, the Telos is:- Outstanding for observing mammals from bats to red deer
- Excellent for monitoring den boxes and bird boxes out to approximately 60m+
- Excellent for long range observations of medium to large mammals out to 1,800m (e.g. foxes, red deer)
- Good for observing medium and large birds out to medium range (e.g. blackbirds, geese)
- Good for observing smaller mammals out to medium range (e.g. bats, mice)
The Telos features a highly sensitive thermal sensor with a rating of less than 18 mK. This enables the Telos to excel in challenging weather conditions such as high humidity, rainfall, fog, or cold mornings. Pulsar's Image Boost technology further enhances image detail, clarity, and contrast through an in-house algorithm. Together these improvements mean the Telos can produce clearer images in sub-optimal weather conditions than its predecessor, the Pulsar Helion 2 XP50 Pro.
The Telos is equipped with a 640x480 and 17µm core thermal sensor, delivering superior resolution compared to basic models. It offers a detection range of 1,800m. With a smooth digital zoom and focus rings, users can easily adjust the magnification with one hand, ranging from 2.5x to 10x. The 50mm lens ensures a wide field of view of 12.4°, providing clear visuals even when tracking moving animals. In practise the working detection range is likely to be lower in most circumstances. Larger mammals in favourable weather typically fall within the stated ranges, but this will be shorter for smaller species or in more cluttered environments.
The Telos has a number of customisable features. The attachable hand strap can be positioned on either side of the device, enhancing comfort for left and right handed users. Additionally, the user interface layout and button functions can be customised based on user preferences.The Telos Pro retains the excellent features of its predecessors. It boasts instant start-up, allowing quick field use, and includes a Picture in Picture function that enables zooming in on a secondary image while maintaining the overall field of view. It offers 8 thermal colour palettes for image customization and can record video at a resolution of 1024x768, saving it to an expanded internal 32GB memory. Additionally, the Telos Pro is equipped with a WiFi module that allows live streaming from the camera and adjustment of settings through the free Stream Vision 2 app.
Designed to withstand various environmental conditions, the Telos Pro can operate in temperatures ranging from -25°C to 40°C. It also holds an IPX7 waterproof rating, ensuring protection against water immersion. The Telos features a rechargeable LPS 7i battery with up to 8.5 hours of battery life and wireless charging support.
The Telos is backed by a three-year warranty, while the rechargeable battery is covered for one year.

Ease of use
The Telos XP50 is an easy to use, handheld thermal monocular. When you need to use it, it turns on instantly - perfect for wildlife spotting. You can get up to speed and comfortable with its use within seconds.
It has a WiFi element that allows you to connect to on your smartphone or tablet using the free Stream Vision 2 app. The app shows you a live feed from the camera and allows you to change the settings as well as record videos and take pictures remotely (up to 10m). Viewing on a screen is great for minimising eyestrain (which can develop when looking through the viewfinder for extended periods) and is great for group viewing.
The Telos XP50 is made of a rugged magnesium alloy and is lightweight - weighing about 720g - so it can be hung around the neck without strain.
It's has an IPX7 rating so you can use it whatever the weather without any concern.
The LPS7i batteries provide approximately 8 hours of continuous operation. These batteries charge quickly and are able to use wireless charging.
Warranty: The Telos XP50 comes with a three year warranty, the rechargeable battery comes with one year.
