Pulsar Axion XQ30 Pro Thermal Imaging Monocular in More Detail

Upgraded Thermal Sensor

The Axion XQ30 Pro is equipped with a pro-grade 384x288 thermal sensor with 17µm pixel pitch and <25mK NETD sensitivity, combined with a fast 30mm f/1.2 lens. This configuration delivers excellent heat detection, even in challenging weather, with high contrast and clarity for spotting subtle temperature differences.

Enhanced Detection with Sensitivity Boost

Three sensitivity amplification levels help users adapt to different weather and temperature conditions. Filtration algorithms, brightness and contrast controls work together to render scenes more clearly, helping to distinguish warm objects from their surroundings when observing at different times of day or night.

Wide Field of View

A 13.3° field of view enables fast scanning of wider areas. This makes it easier to track movement and keep context of the surroundings, while maintaining the ability to zoom in for closer inspection.

Picture-in-Picture View

Picture-in-Picture mode adds a secondary zoomed view within the main display, occupying just 10% of the screen. This feature supports detailed observation without losing sight of the wider scene.

High-Quality AMOLED Display

The 600x400 resolution AMOLED screen delivers smooth, high-contrast visuals and accurate colour rendering, even in frosty or low-temperature environments. Thermal images are sharp and easy to interpret.

Compact, Ergonomic and Robust

Weighing just 300g, the Axion XQ30 Pro is highly portable and fits comfortably in the hand. Its compact size is matched with a tough magnesium alloy housing, which protects the internals while doubling as a heatsink to maintain efficient operation. IPX7 waterproofing ensures continued performance in rain and wet conditions, while the device withstands everyday knocks with ease. Button placement is intuitive, with all key functions accessible with minimal hand movement.

Up to 8 Hours Battery Life and Fast Charging

Powered by a rechargeable APS3 battery, the Axion XQ30 Pro runs for up to 8 hours (temperature dependent) on a single charge. Fast USB-C charging and hot-swap battery capability allow you to stay out longer. The included battery can be recharged using mains power or USB with the Pulsar charger.

Eight Custom Colour Palettes

Choose from 8 thermal display colour options to suit different environments and preferences:

• White Hot, Black Hot, Red Hot – Optimised for thermal detection
• Rainbow, Ultramarine – Enhanced object recognition
• Red Monochrome, Sepia, Violet – Designed for prolonged night-time viewing

Built-In Photo and Video Recording
