Pulsar Wildlife Ventex XT50 Thermal Binoculars | 1280×1024 | IS & LRF

Pulsar Wildlife’s Flagship Thermal Binoculars

The Ventex XT50 is the flagship thermal binocular of the Pulsar Wildlife lineup — and the first Pulsar Wildlife device to incorporate integrated image stabilisation. Its 1280×1024 sensor delivers 1’310’720 temperature-sensitive pixels at 12 µm pitch, the highest resolution in the Pulsar Wildlife range, paired with a 50 mm F1.0 germanium objective and a system sensitivity (sNETD) of <20 mK. A built-in 1’500 m laser rangefinder with ±1 m accuracy and a 2’300 m detection range complete the specification. Two independent AMOLED HD displays (1280×960 per eye) combined with interpupillary distance adjustment from 63 to 74 mm deliver genuine binocular comfort for extended sessions in the field.

Binocular Comfort, Wild Vision App and Onboard Recording

The Ventex XT50 is built for extended use as a primary field observation instrument. Interpupillary distance (IPD) adjusts from 63 to 74 mm to accommodate different users; independent diopter correction per barrel allows precise focus matching regardless of individual vision differences. Two AMOLED HD displays (1280×960 per eye) render the full-resolution thermal image with vivid contrast across all eight selectable colour palettes (White Hot, Black Hot, Red Hot, Rainbow, Ultramarine, Red Monochrome, Sepia, Violet). Six control buttons, positioned where fingers rest naturally on the housing, manage all digital functions without shifting eyes from the eyepieces. Via the Wild Vision app (Android & iOS), the device streams live video, accepts remote control commands and receives firmware updates over dual-band Wi-Fi (2.4 / 5 GHz, IEEE 802.11 b/g/n/ac). Video (MP4, audio included, 1280×960 at 50 fps) and still images (JPG, 1280×960) are stored on 64 GB of internal memory, transferable wirelessly.

Dual Battery, Magnesium Housing and IPX7 Protection

Two energy sources power the Ventex XT50: a built-in rechargeable Li-Ion cell and a replaceable external APS3 battery pack. Both charge simultaneously via USB-C with Power Delivery (5V / 9V); no proprietary charger is required. The APS3 is hot-swappable — it can be exchanged in the field without powering down the device, because the internal cell maintains operation during the swap. Combined runtime reaches up to 8 hours at 22 °C. The housing is cast from magnesium alloy, providing high rigidity and impact resistance at a managed 950 g. IPX7 certification (IEC 60529) confirms protection against immersion to 1 metre for 30 minutes, covering rain, stream crossings and accidental immersion. Operating temperature range extends from −25 °C to +50 °C. A standard 1/4" tripod mount thread is integrated into the base.
