Axion Compact XG30
PULSAR Axion Compact XG30The PULSAR Axion Compact XG30 is a compact thermal monocular designed for day and night observation, as well as use in reduced-visibility conditions such as fog, rain, humidity, and smoke. It features an uncooled 640x480 px sensor with 12 µm pixel pitch, an F30/1.2 objective lens, 2–16x magnification, and a detection range of up to 1300 meters. Its wide 14.6 x 9.2° field of view supports fast terrain scanning, which is especially useful when checking woodland edges, open ground, dense vegetation, and moving heat sources at short to medium distances. The 50 Hz frame rate provides a smoother and more comfortable image when tracking movement.Who is this Pulsar thermal imaging device for?The PULSAR Axion Compact XG30 is particularly suitable for users who need fast, mobile thermal observation at short to medium distances. Its combination of 640×480 high-resolution sensor, wide 14.6° field of view, and ultra-compact 250 g magnesium alloy body makes it an ideal choice for hunters scanning woodland edges, security personnel conducting perimeter checks, and outdoor enthusiasts tracking heat sources in fog, rain, or dense vegetation.It is especially worth considering if you prioritize portability and rapid target acquisition without sacrificing image detail—for example, when moving through uneven terrain, checking multiple sectors quickly, or carrying the monocular in a pocket or chest rig for all-day use.
If your priority is maximum detection range or long-range identification, a Pulsar model with a larger 50 mm or 60 mm objective lens (such as the Thermion 2 XG50 or XG60) may be a better choice.Technical specifications PULSAR Axion Compact XG30SpecificationValueModelPULSAR Axion Compact XG30SKU77508Sensor typeUncooledSensor resolution640x480 pxPixel pitch12 µmSensor NETD< 40 mKSystem NETD< 25 mKFrame rate50 HzObjective lensF30/1.2Magnification2–16xDigital zoomx8Field of view (HxV)14.6 x 9.2°Field of view at 100 m25.6 x 16.0 mEye relief14 mmDisplayAMOLEDDisplay resolution640x400 pxDetection range1300 mPhoto / video960x600 px, .jpg / .mp4Built-in memory64 GBWi‑FiIEEE 802.11 b/g/n/ac, 2.4 / 5 GHzApp supportStream Vision 2Protection ratingIPX7Operating temperature-20 to +40 °CMounting1/4" socket, tripod compatibleBatteryAPS 3 Li-Ion Battery Pack, 3200 mAhBattery lifeup to 7 hoursExternal power5V USB Type-CHousing materialMagnesium alloyDimensions144x41x69 mmWeight0.25 kg without batteryThe Axion Compact XG30 is designed for fast heat source detection and efficient observation at short and medium distances. Its 640x480 thermal sensor delivers improved detail on warm objects, while the 30 mm objective lens maintains a useful balance between field coverage and practical image detail for target assessment. One of the key advantages of this model is its selection of 8 color palettes, which allow the image to be adapted to different terrain types, weather conditions, and observation tasks. White Hot, Black Hot, and Red Hot are well suited for fast heat source detection, Rainbow and Ultramarine help separate contours and scene structure more clearly, while Red Monochrome, Sepia, and Violet are more comfortable for long observation sessions at night. The monocular also supports 3 sensitivity gain levels, which are useful when field conditions change quickly. Combined with brightness, contrast, and image filtering adjustments, these settings help improve target separation in fog, after rain, in high humidity, and in situations where thermal contrast is weaker than usual.At the base 2x magnification, the device works well for scanning wide sectors without losing awareness of the full scene. When more detail is needed, magnification up to 16x helps assess a heat source more precisely along forest lines, open fields, tracks, and areas with thicker cover.The magnesium alloy housing offers better durability for regular outdoor use while keeping the unit lightweight. With dimensions of 144x41x69 mm and a weight of only 250 g without the battery, the XG30 remains practical for carrying in a jacket pocket, gear pouch, or chest rig.The IPX7 waterproof rating supports operation in rain and wet environments during active field use. Built-in 64 GB memory is useful for storing photos and video, while Wi‑Fi connectivity and Stream Vision 2 support make it easier to connect the device to a smartphone and transfer recorded material.For longer observation sessions, the Axion Compact XG30 can be mounted on a tripod via the standard 1/4" socket. Power comes from the replaceable APS 3 battery pack with 3200 mAh capacity and up to 7 hours of operation, while USB Type-C external power support adds flexibility for longer hunts, surveillance work, and overnight observation.Package ContentAxion XG Thermal ImagerAPS 3 rechargeable batteryPower AdapterUSB Type-C cable with USB Type-A adapterCarrying caseHand strapQuick User ManualLens-cleaning clothWarranty sheetProfessional Optics offers the PULSAR Axion Compact XG30 with competitive pricing, delivery across Europe, and store purchase in Split, Croatia...
