New Compact Pulsar Axion XG30 and XG35 Thermal Monoculars
Recently TFB reviewed the Pulsar Axion XQ30 Pro and found it to be a thermal pocket rocket. This product line now gets an even higher thermal performance, with the two new additions called Axion XG35 and Axion XG30 Compact. These additions both have 640×480 @ 12µm European thermal imaging sensors that are said to guarantee a quality image, even in the most dreadful weather conditions.

In short, the new Axion XG30 Compact uses a 30mm lens, a wide FOV of 14.6° and a base magnification of 2x to create the smallest monocular.
For those who want a little more, the Axion XG35 Compact will produce even more details due to the larger focal length lens of 35mm, and a base magnification of 2.5x. The detection range is up to 1750 meters.
Both models use a rugged magnesium alloy housing.
