Pulsar Telos LRF XT50 Thermal Monocular | 1280 HD
Product Description
The Pulsar Telos LRF XT50 is Pulsar’s flagship HD thermal imaging monocular: an upgradeable, long-range observation platform built around a 1280×1024 thermal sensor, fast F50/1.0 objective lens and integrated 1,200 m laser rangefinder. With up to 2,300 m thermal detection, a wide 30.7 m field of view at 100 m and Zoom Boost magnification up to 24×, the Telos LRF XT50 is designed to preserve detail while helping you read more of the landscape.
Whether you are scanning open country, observing wildlife, working across mixed terrain or assessing a distant heat signature, the XT50 combines a wide overview with precise ranging and high-resolution inspection. This Hunt The Night product guide explains how its weather-ready, ambidextrous body, built-in recording and connected Pulsar app support come together in a complete premium thermal monocular for extended field use.

1280×1024 HD thermal imaging for greater detail
At the heart of the Pulsar Telos LRF XT50 is an uncooled 1280×1024 microbolometer—the highest-resolution sensor listed in the current Telos range. Its 12 µm pixel pitch and 50 Hz frame rate provide a detailed, fluid thermal image that supports both broad scanning and closer visual assessment.
Resolution matters when a target occupies only a small part of the scene. The XT50’s high pixel count gives the image more information to work with when you increase magnification, while its wide native field of view helps you maintain context. For Hunt The Night customers comparing premium thermal monoculars, that balance of situational awareness and distant detail is one of the XT50’s defining characteristics.
Wide field of view with long-range detection
The fast F50/1.0 objective lens works with the HD sensor to provide a 17.5-degree horizontal field of view, equal to 30.7 m at 100 m. This generous viewing area helps you cover ground efficiently, follow movement and retain awareness of the space surrounding a heat signature.
Pulsar specifies a thermal detection range of up to 2,300 m for the Telos LRF XT50. Hunt The Night notes that detection range describes the device’s ability to detect a qualifying heat source under the manufacturer’s test assumptions; it should not be confused with identification distance. Actual field performance varies with target size, weather, atmospheric conditions, terrain and operator experience.
Integrated 1,200 m laser rangefinder
Seeing a distant thermal signature is only part of understanding the scene. The built-in 905 nm laser rangefinder measures distance up to 1,200 m with stated accuracy of ±1 m, giving you an objective distance reading inside the monocular. It is classified as Class 1 under IEC 60825-1:2014.
Integrated ranging reduces the need to move between separate devices and can help with navigation, observation planning and spatial awareness. Because the rangefinder is part of the XT50 body, the viewing and ranging workflow stays together in one field-ready unit.
2–16× magnification, plus Zoom Boost to 24×
The XT50 begins at 2× magnification, giving you a practical wide view for searching and scanning. Magnification extends to 16× through the standard zoom range, while Pulsar’s Zoom Boost increases the available maximum to 24× when you need a closer look.
That combination gives the Telos LRF XT50 a useful two-stage role: scan broadly at low magnification, then increase magnification to examine a selected area. As with all digital magnification, higher zoom narrows the field of view; the XT50’s 1280×1024 source resolution provides a strong foundation for this closer inspection.
1920×1080 AMOLED HD viewing
A 1920×1080 AMOLED HD display presents the thermal image with high contrast inside the eyepiece. The display is paired with a −5 to +4 dioptre adjustment and 13 mm eye relief, allowing the viewing setup to be tuned to the operator.
Pulsar also provides nine colour palettes and a configurable user mode across the Telos feature set. Palette choice can help adapt the display to different observation tasks, backgrounds and personal preferences.
Designed for confident field operation
The Pulsar Telos platform is shaped around practical handheld use. Its ambidextrous control layout supports left- and right-handed operators, while the rubberised exterior promotes a secure grip. Focus and zoom rings are positioned toward the front of the device so adjustments can be made by feel, and haptic feedback provides tactile confirmation during operation—practical details highlighted in this Hunt The Night product description.
The XT50 carries an IPX7 waterproof rating and is specified to operate from −25°C to +40°C. These environmental ratings make it suitable for wet weather and demanding temperature conditions within the manufacturer’s stated limits. The body measures 242×72×77 mm and weighs 0.73 kg.
Upgradeable thermal monocular platform
Telos is Pulsar’s first upgradeable thermal device family. Rather than treating every technology change as a reason to replace the complete monocular, the Telos Upgradeability service is designed to allow selected hardware components to be replaced as compatible newer technology becomes available.
For Telos devices, Pulsar lists sensor and objective-lens upgrades among the possible upgrade types. Upgrade options, compatibility, timing and service availability are controlled by Pulsar and may differ by market, so Hunt The Night recommends confirming the currently available programme before purchase.
Built-in recording and 128 GB storage
Capture 1440×1080 thermal photos and video directly to the monocular. The Telos LRF XT50 records JPG images and MP4 video and includes 128 GB of built-in memory, providing substantial local capacity for field footage and observations without a removable memory card.
Stream Vision connectivity
Dual-band 2.4/5 GHz Wi-Fi and BLE 5.0 support connected use with compatible mobile devices. Pulsar lists both Stream Vision 2 and Stream Vision Ballistics as supported applications for the XT50, and identifies Stream Vision 2 as providing Wi-Fi integration with compatible iOS and Android devices.
Replaceable LPS 7i battery and USB-C power
The replaceable LPS 7i lithium-ion battery pack has a stated 6400 mAh capacity. Pulsar specifies up to 8 hours of operation at 22°C for the Telos LRF XT50. Runtime varies with temperature, wireless use, recording, display settings and other operating conditions.
For charging and extended operation, the XT50 supports 5 V and 9 V external power through USB Type-C Power Delivery. A replaceable battery design also allows battery management to be planned around longer observation sessions.
