Always striving for improvement, Pulsar lifts its Krypton thermal clip-on to the next level and adds an exciting new stablemate.
The original Pulsar Krypton FXG50 thermal clip-on was launched in 2019, superseding the Pulsar Core. The original Krypton FXG50 was fitted with a BAE Systems Vanadium Oxide (VOx) thermal sensor and firmware. The Krypton was the only Pulsar thermal to use an older technology VOx sensor, which I assume was for technical reasons.
The new Pulsar Krypton 2 FXG50 is a new build from the ground up and shares all the features as other Pulsar thermals. Here is a quick breakdown of the new system, compare to the original:
Performance
• New Lynred a-Si sensor resulting in a NETD improvement of at least 20%
• Increased objective lens aperture from f1.2 to f1.0
• Addition of Pulsar’s current 1920×1080 AMOLED display
• More advanced image processing firmware and electronics
Userbility
• Quick-release PSP bayonet mount
• Added dual-band WiFi for firmware updates and video streaming
• Added a BlueTooth remote control
• Smaller and lighter Mg alloy body
• Added multiple colour pallets
• Battery pack is now fitted on top of the unit for better balance
• The Pulsar Krypton 2 FXG50 is ideal for taking precision shots at medium to long distance, when its high resolution sensor can discern fine detail.
New Pulsar Krypton 2 XQ35 / FXQ35
This is a very welcome addition to the Pulsar range. Compared to its higher-end stablemate, the Krypton 2 XQ35 is lighter and smaller due to its shorter focal length lens. It is also fitted with a Pro series Lynred 384×288/17µm sensor that delivers less than 25mK NETD. All other components are identical. It is ideal for general hunting with the bonus of higher sensitivity.
The Pulsar Krypton 2 XQ35 is ideal for walking and stalking when shots are taken at short to medium distance with its wider field-of-view and better foliage penetration.
