Its 3.5–14x magnification range supports observation across short and medium distances and closer examination of detected thermal objects.
Environmental conditions and thermal contrast affect real-world detection, recognition and identification.
Integrated 1200m Laser Rangefinder
The built-in laser rangefinder measures distances up to 1200 metres with a stated accuracy of ±1 metre.
The rangefinder supports individual measurements and continuous scanning.
Its compact integrated design removes the need for an additional handheld ranging device.
Full HD AMOLED Display
The Trail 3 LRF XQ50 uses a 1920×1080 AMOLED microdisplay that delivers detailed image reproduction and strong visual contrast.
Nine thermal colour palettes provide flexibility for viewing thermal scenes under different environmental conditions.
The circular Picture-in-Picture function displays a magnified section of the image while retaining visibility of the surrounding area.
Ergonomic Controls and Bilateral Focusing
The Trail 3 series introduces an ergonomic control arrangement with focusing wheels on both sides of the objective area.
This design supports convenient operation with either hand.
A circular control encoder, configurable shortcut buttons and updated graphical interface make the device’s settings accessible during field observation.
Integrated Electronic Features
The Trail 3 LRF XQ50 includes a ballistic calculator, selectable reticle patterns, stored profiles and inclination indicators.
It also supports Pulsar Stream Vision Ballistics connectivity.
These electronic features are integrated into the device interface for convenient access.
Recoil-Resistant Magnesium Alloy Housing
The XQ50 features a compact monoblock housing manufactured from magnesium alloy.
Its structure provides rigidity and durability during outdoor operation.
The riflescope weighs approximately 700 grams, features IP67 protection and supports operation in temperatures from −25°C to +50°C.
The manufacturer specifies recoil resistance up to 6000 joules.
Video Recording and 64GB Internal Memory
The built-in recorder supports photographs and 1440×1080 MP4 video recording.
With 64GB of internal memory, users can store thermal observations directly on the device.
Recoil-activated recording and shadow recording provide additional options for capturing field activities.
Stream Vision 2 Connectivity
The Pulsar Trail 3 LRF XQ50 supports Stream Vision 2 and Stream Vision Ballistics applications.
Dual-band Wi-Fi connectivity enables supported functions such as remote image viewing, file transfer, media management and firmware updates through compatible mobile devices.
Up to 12 Hours of Battery Operation
The removable LPS 7i battery has a capacity of 6400mAh.
Pulsar specifies up to 12 hours of operation at 22°C, depending on device settings and operating conditions.
The quick-change battery system and USB Type-C external power support provide flexibility for extended observation sessions.
