Pulsar Wildlife Alaris XQ30 20mK Thermal Imaging Monocular

The new Pulsar Wildlife Alaris XQ30 takes its name from the Latin, meaning “of the wing”, and is inspired in its design and performance by the passion and needs of the modern birdwatcher. With its 384×288, 17µm, <20mK sNETD thermal sensor and 30mm f1.2 objective lens, this compact and lightweight monocular offers an enhanced performance and an impressive 1050 m detection range, whilst remaining budget friendly — making it the perfect starting point for any birdwatcher new to thermal imaging.

Upgraded Thermal Sensor

The Alaris XQ30 features a pro-grade 384×288, 17µm thermal sensor and a powerful 30mm f1.2 objective lens, capable of detecting the smallest heat source at up to 1050 m. Its <20mK sNETD rating offers low levels of noise, resulting in stunning image clarity and high contrast.

Three Sensitivity Amplification Levels

The Alaris XQ30 offers three sensitivity amplification levels with intuitive filtration algorithms and fine brightness and contrast adjustments, providing improved rendering of an observed object and the environment around it, and increasing the user’s detection capabilities in varying weather and environmental conditions.

Wide Field of View

A generous 23.3 m @ 100 m (13.3°) field of view makes searching and scanning easier and more comfortable than ever, revealing more within the observation area and enabling faster detection of a heat source. This wide FOV enables close observation of an object/animal of interest without losing control of the rest of the observation area.

Picture in Picture Mode

Picture-in-Picture (PiP) mode reveals a small viewing screen in the top 10% of the monocular’s display, allowing for closer inspection of an observed object without relinquishing any observational control over the area around it.

AMOLED Display

Featuring a high contrast 600×400 AMOLED display, the Alaros XQ30 presents all thermal imagery in pin-sharp detail, with a consistently sharp and smooth image and significantly improved colour rendering, even in frosty conditions.

Compact Ergonomic Design

Perhaps the most notable feature of the Alaris XQ30 is its ability to pack such a powerful punch from a device that is so incredibly compact and lightweight. Fitting effortlessly in the hand, this device is so lightweight as to be barely noticeable, remaining comfortable to hold over long periods of observation.

Ergonomically designed, this monocular features a simple four-button control arrangement along the top of the device, with each button offering control over all the important digital functions, meaning the device can be operated with very little hand movement.

But its size and weight are deceptive, the Alaris XQ30 remains incredibly robust, with a magnesium alloy bodyshell which takes on adverse weather conditions without breaking a sweat, all the while resisting the everyday bumps, knocks, and drops that occur during observations. It will even remain fully operational in a heavy downpour thanks to its IPX7 waterproof rating.

The magnesium alloy bodyshell even works as a heatsink, effectively dispersing any heat generated by the internal electronics, minimising noise, and keeping the device running as efficiently as possible during extended periods of use.

8 Hours Battery & Fast Charging

With a quick-change APS3 rechargeable battery, the Alaris XQ30 will provide up to 8 hours of effective observation (depending on temperature). Keeping the device going well into the night is as easy as removing and replacing the battery. Plus, with USB type-C fast charging available, the depleted battery will be back up to power and ready to use in next to no time. The provided battery can be charged using the Pulsar battery charger, household power, or via USB.

IPX7 Rated

Its robust magnesium alloy bodyshell provides ample protection against everyday bumps, knocks, and scrapes; keeps the device protected from dust- and moisture ingress; allows the monocular to be used in adverse weather conditions, including dense fog, heavy rain, and snow; and even keeps the device running unaffected after being immersed in water.

A stylish new rubberised strip along the bottom of the device ensures better grip in both wet and dry conditions — providing even more security when using the device in the field.

Eight Colour Palettes

A choice of 8 colour palettes lets the user observe their field of view more effectively, allowing them to optimise the device for specific tasks, as well as allowing them to react to changing observation conditions.

• White Hot, Black Hot and Red Hot are optimal for object detection.
  
• Rainbow and Ultramarine help increase chances for recognition & identification.
  
• Red Monochrome, Sepia and Violet are most suitable for long observation in the night.
  

Built-In Still Image & Video Recorder

A built-in still image and video recording capabilities will capture every memorable moment during observations. Generous internal memory allows for hours upon hours of video storage and the ability to save tens of thousands of photos directly to the device. Just one touch is all it takes to capture a still image of an interesting scene or to start recording video on the move.

Wild Vision App

Connect the Alaris XQ30 to the NEW Wild Vision app from Pulsar Wildlife via an Android or iOS smartphone or tablet and discover a wide range of connectivity features, including:

• The ability to use your mobile phone or tablet as a wireless remote to control and adjust the device’s settings, with all the changes made on your device’s screen visible in real-time. This feature also allows for remote recording of footage or capturing of still images.
  
• A gallery of photos and videos captured on the device that can be browsed through and downloaded. These videos and images can also be shared easily.
  
• The ability to remotely update the device’s firmware, meaning users can enjoy all the latest features and ensure the Alaris XQ30 is always running to the best of its ability.
