Pulsar bird watching & wildlife watching special: Compare the Telos XP50, Axion 2 XG35 & Axion XM30F

See what the UK’s most popular thermal brand has to offer bird spotters and wildlife enthusiast.
We compare the entry level Axion XM30F, with the mid-range Axion 2 XG35 and top spec Telos XP50, to find something as small, fast and elusive as a kingfisher.
See how we get on, with real-time footage from each thermal, alongside our Canon DSLR with a whopping 400mm zoom attached to try and film the action.

Dave, you have a very distinctive voice 😂. You should be primed to take over from David Attenborough. You're wasted on thermal haha

Any chance you could do some long range viewing with the new Krypton 2 FXG50? Your video of the rabbit at 40yds was great but it would be amazing if you could do something a little further out say in the 300 - 500 yd range.

[@thomasjacksltd]

More films of the Krypton 2 are definitely planned but unless you're hunting a triceratops, 300-500yds would be challenging!

Seems like the Telos is bit out of focus and detail. Im interested to get the Telos but waiting for more reviews like this!

[@thomasjacksltd]

Possibly - trying to control 3 thermals and a camera on a 15cm bird that's 25m away through foliage, in a warm, humid location had its challenges! I've been super impressed by the Telos every time I've taken it out.

[@harnsheng]

I’ve narrowed down my choice to Telos and Falcon FQ50. Just wanting to see a few more reviews before buying

[@thomasjacksltd]

Definitely look at more reviews! I would add that if the main job is scanning an area to detect what's there - go for a big field of view@@harnsheng

[@harnsheng]

@@thomasjacksltd bought one and it is spectacular! Focus ring is a lil stiff but otherwise solid monocular

[@thomasjacksltd]

All the things you'll see with a thermal that would otherwise be hidden is incredible. I was filming with a group of bird ringers on Friday - thermal makes their work so much more efficient and better for the birds. Focus can be a bit stiff initially but it should loosen off in time@@harnsheng
