Interesting idea - Pixfra have no bino option at the moment but who know's?

It has two optical focal lengths!

Thanks. I'm thinking of doing a side-by-side comparison with this and a few other Pulsar thermal products but let me know what you'd like to see.

@ that would be awesome I’m just looking to get as much info on the axion compact XG35 whether it would be pros and cons or comparisons

@@ben19961 In the meantime have you discovered the Axion Megatests on our other channel? It's a slightly earlier version of the XG35 but we compare 3 different models in a number of side-by-side tests to offer a true comparison. Here's one of the Megatests to get you started: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ppzdaIiKf56igZIsi=PaX-ywaAuSPKsajO

@@TJ-Focus I’ll have a look into this now thank you 😊

Check out our tips and tricks to get the most from your new Axion: kzbin.info/aero/PLRgDspzcWF0gpVsXnX6risPD0uDnEtoqU

First check if there's a charging problem: As a general rule always use the supplied charging equipment. If you're charging through the mains plug, there's 2 indications that the device is charging: - On the screen you'll see a charging symbol in the bottom right corner. - And a green flashing light on the top of the device. If you're not seeing these try charging with different cable (to see if that's the problem) or through your computer (to see if it's charging plug). This might also help: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j6mynIVsm5qIa5o

Just ran your problem by the techies here too - if you're still having problems then push the battery in really hard for the first few times you install it.

Here's my review of the NXP50 kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZzTlomEqpKgoZYsi=u_jTwlAMK7jWVKEH

@@TJ-Focus Thanks Dave! Where would you put these between XP50 and XP35?

@@ngiovanni It really depends on what you plan to use them for. I'm personally a big fan of the XP50 but the smaller, lighter & cheaper XQ35 is brilliant for closer ranges.

Thanks, we really appreciate the feedback. You might also like this bird ringing video from our other channel: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJ7Kh554p7aiqMUsi=1u3M2INo0hhgIa2h

You might just about detect something the size of a deer at that range with this entry level model as a fuzzy blob. In order to identify these possible objects of interest, the M207 will tell you where to point more capable optics (like binoculars), or what to stalk towards. If you want more detail you'll you'll need something with a bigger sensor that's focusable, like this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJKrmqNqiJahd7Msi=9pFbtMAjlLNAt7nM

@TJ-Focus ok thanks. Ya I don't need a clear image just the knowledge that something is there, like you said I can use my binos and rifle scope then. My friend has a low end atn ots-xlt. It seems lower spec than this 207 and it works well enough to at least see some deer are in an area or not relatively quickly.

@@damoinclare All Pixfra's have a really good spec for the price. And it sounds like it'll do the job you want but we have done several videos of the Mile2 options, comparing field-test footage of different sized objects at different ranges which you can find on this channel. M207 v/s M215M M419 v/s M619 M425 v/s M625 I hope they help you select the right one.

It's a question of price versus pedigree. If I could afford a Pulsar I would always opt for one (for their usability, robustness & reliability to perform brilliantly for years.). The Pixfra's are good (high spec, do the job well, exceptional for the price but like all the Chinese brands, they're a bit less tried-and-tested). Can you get to a retailer that stocks both, so you can try them for yourself? You can find a retailer here: tj-focus.co.uk/where-to-buy/

Thanks for your comment. You're right that the XQ30 pro definitely punches above it's weight - especially in poor weather but what you're paying for with the XG30 is a the larger 640x480 pixel sensor (v/s 384x288 in the XQ). And the pay-off for a slightly narrower FOV is a bigger base mag which in theory allows you to detect further with the XG. That's why we like doing side-by-side videos like this, that puts the theory to the test and shows what it means in reality.

​@TJ-Focus i didn't even reslise that this was a new model. Anyway, the 640 version just isn't worth it in my eyes when for the same money, you can get a 640 Hikmicro falcon or for not much more, the Infiray Zoom ZH50 which has provably some of the most sophisticated optics currently on the market. For 640, there is so much better kn the market. The new XQ30 pro is however very respectable for its price point which from pulsar, is long overdue seeing you're spending upwards of a grand for one of their ancient 384 monoculars that are hopelessly obsolete. Finally a 384 from pulsar that can finally compete on the open market.

@@mrdojob You get what you pay for. If buying cheap is more important than things like: start-up time, battery life, image quality (to do the job you're actually buying it for), ease of use, product life span, customer support and being made in Europe... then there are alternatives to Pulsar. But do try before you buy, or at the very least search for videos that test the product at realistic ranges, in different weather conditions, for the kind of animals you hope to find with it.

​@TJ-Focus I dunno. Hikmicro and infiray are really beginning to outcompete European companies and I think this new release from Pulsar is them finally realising they can't rely on making high end, pricy thermals when China is firmly planting their feet on their turf for cheaper. I believe Hikmicro also have their service center based in the UK and offer a good warranty. Infiray I know less about. From what I heard, Pulsars service center is in Eastern Europe and they take a while with their repairs. I think Pulsar need to diversify their offerings and look towards appealing to the lower end of the market for a change. I have a Infiray T2 pro for £350. Needs no battery, they fit a great focal lenght on it, is tiny and solidly made. Sat on it loads of times and dropped it. It just keeps chugging along.

@@TJ-Focus I think China has caught up now and Pulsar can't rely on making slightly better for a big mark up. People will happily take a small drop in quality for big savings. Even then, their thermals seem to have rave reviews and are well liked Hikmicro's optics also seem just as good as Pulsar, perhaps a bit better in some cases and they seem to offer a decent warranty. I have an infiray T2 pro and for phone thermal, it's solidly made and fairly innovative by having a great focal lenght on it. This new thermal is a step in the right direction. Even their obsolete and second hand stuff was really expensive for what you got, to the point where I didn't even consider them as serious manufacturers anymore and was going to buy elsewhere. Perhaps they realised this and things might change.

Thanks - that's what we aim to do. If there's anything else you'd like to see, just drop us a comment.

The 35 looks like it’s worth the extra money

I have tested it and got lots of footage. I can't wait to release the film. It is BRILLIANT and so nice to use; almost as comfy / immersive as thermal binoculars. You wont be disappointed

Here's some more detail of the Sirius S635 with some through the lens video footage. Enjoy! kzbin.info/www/bejne/ppuZaZeZlKeVmdksi=sR5km-Ii0pDiw6qG

It really does depend on what you mean by 'general purpose.' If most of your spotting is below 150m the XQ30 will be enough for you. If you routinely want to spot beyond that, or you're looking for smaller animals, or you're scanning larger areas it would be worth spending more on the XG30. I've made this buyers guide that will help you decide: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mXKUepWFnJh5ebssi=fhsE9EhRyQfsgJKW

@@TJ-Focus Thank you :)🙂

I've see that Pixfra have an LRF planned for some models but not sure if it'll include the Mile2. If they do, I'll certainly do a video on it!

You are most welcome - our aim is to help people choose the right model and get the most from it. You might like the Axion MEGA tests on our other channel: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ppzdaIiKf56igZIsi=RNtcgpX2lPVWDtSb

That's a great idea Steve; I would certainly use it. I'll pass that on to Pulsar HQ. Many thanks

I'm sure the colour palettes really come into their own on the XT's bigger sensor - violet might even be the new black!

Cheers - A case of buy the best tool for the job. And if you're inclined to be out a lot in ALL weathers, then the cheaper XQ PRO could be the one!

@TJ-Focus Absolutely. Sometimes the cheaper option is more beneficial depending on your needs.

Thanks. If there's anything you'd like to see, drop us a message.

It's all down to your priorities...This guide will explain and help you choose: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mXKUepWFnJh5ebssi=lXLanzecjCNFqg0Z

Only £250 more for a bigger sensor, bigger lens and focusable is a BARGAIN!

This video just introduces the Mile2. As there are x9 different options in the range we've produced dedicated, more focused videos to show the key differences of specific models, which does include images recorded through the device. Here's an example: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZy4p42PaZ5rotEsi=Ei9YHi-GcgKxx7ED

Thanks Jim - just taken a look at your review of the Mile M425 - A lot of people will find that really helpful. Good job! 👍

@TJ-Focus thanks Dave I appreciate you taking the time to watch it. I'm being sent the top model this week so I'm looking forward to trying that one out.

@@jimwood No worries. Seeing how real users get on with it , in different conditions for different habitats and different sized animals, at all kinds of realistic ranges is so helpful to anyone considering one of these Pixfras. Best of luck with it.

@TJ-Focus I completely agree. We all have our own ways of going about our hunting and not every thermal spotter is ideal so it's always good to get a feel of different products to find which one suits your needs best.

I'm open to offers! 😂

This followed a prolonged period of heavy rain (enough to flood the rivers here). It was dry for most of the filming with some light rain while filming the bats. Humidity would have been in the 80-90%'s. Not ideal for filming thermal but we think it's important to see this kit in all conditions.

@TJ-Focus thank you for the information. I'm trying to get a thermal for squirrel hunting, I live in a hot and humid state in the USA. But gets alittle cool in the winter. Do you have a thermal u use for that condition. I want to be able to spot the squirrel in the tree line

@@TinyTargetsBigAdventures For the weather conditions you need a low NETD (<25mK). I imagine you're only close range but, you have the same challenge as birdwatchers: trying to find something small that's likely to be partially hidden by leaves and branches. For this I'd recommend the biggest sensor you can afford for your budget (minimum 384 pixels but preferably more). I suggest you prioritise a wide field of view over a big native mag. Your own field skills will enable you to distinguish squirrel from bird by it's movement, so the task is more about scanning an area efficiently to quickly find the squirrels. This guide to finding the right thermal for your needs might be of help too: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mXKUepWFnJh5ebssi=Fw7blknvDcHp6MqY

@TJ-Focus Thank you. You've been helpful. The lowest base mag I could find on pulsar is 2.5X that I could afford. My budget is 3k. I'm looking at the Talion XQ35 Pro. I just don't know if it would do the job. I'm also trying to decide if I should go with a Monocular or a Scope.

@@TinyTargetsBigAdventures That's easy - the biggest challenge you're trying to solve is how to find the squirrels. Get a spotter. Go to your local stockist and try these: Axion 2 XQ35 Telos XQ35 Telos XP50

You're welcome - more to come on different models.

Glad it's helped you to choose between the two - it's often a difficult choice with a lot of money at stake. But that's why we do these videos.

Thanks
