PULSAR Axion Compact XG35 thermal monocular

Thermal monocular PULSAR Axion Compact XG35

The PULSAR Axion Compact XG35 is a compact thermal monocular designed for day and night observation and for use in fog, rain, humidity, and other low-visibility conditions. It features an uncooled 640x480 px sensor with 12 µm pixel pitch, an F35/1.0 objective lens, 2.5–20x magnification, and a detection range of up to 1750 meters.

Compared with shorter focal length models, the 35 mm objective provides more working distance and more usable magnification for detailed observation of heat sources. The 12.5 x 7.8° field of view and 50 Hz frame rate support stable target tracking and terrain observation at medium and longer distances.

Who is this Pulsar thermal imaging device for?

The PULSAR Axion Compact XG35 is particularly suitable for users who need compact thermal observation with extended reach and stronger magnification for medium to long-distance work. Its combination of 640×480 high-resolution sensor, F35/1.0 fast objective lens, and 1,750 m detection range makes it a suitable choice for hunters monitoring open fields and woodland edges, wildlife observers tracking game at distance, and security personnel conducting perimeter surveillance in low-visibility conditions.

It is especially worth considering if you want a pocket-sized monocular that delivers more working distance and image control than entry-level short-range models—for example, when scanning large sectors from a fixed position, assessing heat sources beyond 500 m, or carrying a lightweight device that still provides usable 20× magnification for detailed target identification.

If your priority is maximum field of view for ultra-fast close-range scanning, a Pulsar model with a shorter 30 mm or 19 mm objective lens (such as the Axion Compact XG30 or XQ19) may be a better choice.

Technical specifications PULSAR Axion Compact XG35

The Axion Compact XG35 is built for users who want a compact thermal device with more reach and stronger working magnification than entry-level short-range scanning models. Its combination of a 640x480 sensor, F35/1.0 objective lens, and 1750 m detection range makes it well suited for observing open ground, woodland edges, game crossings, and more distant heat sources.

The 2.5x base magnification gives a solid overview of the scene, while the 20x maximum magnification supports more detailed target assessment at longer distances. In practice, this makes the XG35 a better fit for situations where extra reach and more image control matter more than the widest possible field of view.

The model supports 8 color palettes, allowing the image to be adjusted for different terrain conditions and user preferences. White Hot, Black Hot, and Red Hot are useful for fast target detection, Rainbow and Ultramarine help separate contours and scene structure, while Red Monochrome, Sepia, and Violet are better suited to long observation sessions at night.

It also includes 3 sensitivity gain levels, which help adapt the image when weather conditions shift or when thermal contrast becomes weaker. These settings are especially useful in high humidity, after rain, during cold mornings, and in situations where the target needs to be separated more clearly from the background.

The magnesium alloy housing is designed for regular and demanding outdoor use. Even with its stronger optical setup, the unit remains compact at 146x49x71 mm and practical to carry at only 0.3 kg without the battery.

Its IPX7 waterproof rating supports use in wet conditions, while the built-in 64 GB memory allows photo and video storage without external devices. Wi‑Fi connectivity and Stream Vision 2 compatibility make it easier to connect to a smartphone, transfer recordings, and manage core functions.

For steadier viewing at higher magnification, the monocular can be mounted on a tripod using the standard 1/4" socket. Power comes from the APS 3 battery pack with 3200 mAh capacity, offering up to 7 hours of operation, and USB Type-C external power support adds flexibility for longer hunts, surveillance work, and extended night observation.
