When hunting conditions become difficult, being able to detect movement can make all the difference. Darkness, dense vegetation, fog and changing weather can limit what the naked eye can see, but thermal imaging offers another way to locate heat signatures. The Pulsar Axion Compact XQ19 thermal monocular gives hunters a compact and practical tool for spotting animals and assessing their surroundings without relying on visible light.
At the heart of the Pulsar Axion Compact XQ19 thermal monocular is a 384 × 288 thermal sensor with a NETD of less than 25 mK. This sensitivity helps the device capture useful temperature differences, even when conditions are less than ideal. Combined with the fast F19/1.0 germanium lens, it provides a clear thermal image and a detection range of up to 750 metres for a standard-sized object.
The Pulsar Axion Compact XQ19 thermal monocular has a 1.5–6x magnification range, supported by 4x digital zoom, which gives hunters incredible flexibility in the field. The wide field of view is useful when scanning open areas or tracking movement, while zoom allows closer examination of a distant heat source. Eight colour palettes, including White Hot, Black Hot and Red Hot, let users select a display that suits the conditions and personal preference.
One of the biggest advantages of this particular thermal monocular is its compact design. Weighing approximately 300 grams, the Pulsar Axion Compact XQ19 thermal monocular can be carried in a pocket or attached to a lanyard, making it easy to keep close at hand during a hunt. Its reinforced magnesium alloy housing provides strength while helping protect the internal components from knocks, moisture and changing temperatures.
Thanks to the rechargeable APS5 battery, users of the Pulsar Axion Compact XQ19 thermal monocular can enjoy up to eight hours of operation. USB-C charging and external power support also make it easier to keep the monocular ready for extended outings.
Other useful features of the Pulsar Axion Compact XQ19 include built-in recording, 64GB of storage, Wi-Fi connectivity and Stream Vision 2 support. This makes it a versatile hunting companion combining portability, excellent detection performance and dependable features in one extremely compact package.
