Description
New for 2023, Pulsar’s Merger XL50 is the latest version of the renowned Merger thermal binocular line. It offers the same combination of thermal imaging technology with a the design of classic daytime binoculars, but features a wide array of upgrades. Perhaps the most notable improvement of the Merger XL50 is a new HD 1024x768 12 µm thermal sensor. This detector is significantly more powerful than those used on pervious models, capable of detecting the slightest temperature variations (NETD <40 mK) and can pick up heat signatures from an astounding 2300 yards away. The increased detection range and sensitivity levels allows the operator to identify trophy characteristics, anatomy, behavioral traits, and other features of game from a far greater distance. The HD 1024x768 12 µm thermal sensor’s advanced capabilities are further improved by the 3 levels of sensitivity amplification. This function combines innovative filtration algorithms with fine brightness/contrast adjustments provide far greater definition and clear rendering of objects in the background. Heat signatures detected by the Merger XL50 are projected onto a high-contrast HD AMOLED display, and are viewable in 8 different color palettes, allowing the user to select the best option for the given situation. An innovative feature of the Merger XL50’s display is a proximity sensor. This function deactivates the display when in standby to prevent the backlight of the eye pieces from spooking game, and immediately activates the display when the binoculars are brought to the user’s eyes.
Like its predecessor, the Merger LRF XL50 is outfitted with a wide array of other features. The use of dual eye pieces accommodates observation for longer periods of time with reduced eye strain, and ergonomic controls promotes intuitive operation. An integrated precision laser rangefinder provides accurate measurements over 1000 yards away, and continuous scanning modes with tremendous accuracy provide quick and error-free target distance assessment. The Merger also comes standard with built-in video and photo recording capabilities and 64 GB of free space. The Merger’s improved Wi-Fi connectivity with 2.4/5 GHZ waveband support yields seamless connection to the Stream Vision 2 app, available for both Android and iOS devices.
