High resolution 640x480
The Pulsar Trail XP50 Thermal Riflescope boasts an uncooled micro-bolometric matrix 640x480px, at 17 µm, for highly detailed imaging.
The best image definition
A heat sink, located on the device's body, effectively prevents heat build-up from the sensor and other components while also significantly reducing temperature and noise sensitivity, especially between calibrations.
Variable magnification
Trail models include variable magnification, up to 8x depending on model, and feature both 2x step-up and smooth, graduated magnification for a truly optimum, customized field of view.
High image frequency
At a high refresh rate of 50Hz, the Trail provides comfortable viewing throughout dynamic, rapid motion.
Detection distance up to 1800 m
Depending on model, Trail thermal sights detect big-game-size heat signatures up to 1800 meters away
High recoil resistance rating
The Trail features exceptionally high shock resistance, capable of handling high-powered firearm recoil, up to .375-cal., including smoothbore and airsoft.
3 Zeroing Profiles / 15 Distances
Save three individual firearm/ammunition zeroing profiles, including different reticles, at up to five distances, in the Trail’s memory. Zoom zeroing support ensures precise zeroing accuracy.
10 Electronic reticles
A full complement of digitally displayed reticle solutions ensures quick target acquisition and a richly contrasting sight picture. Choose from an array of reticle patterns, colors and brightness settings.
Picture-in-Picture mode
Picture-in-Picture improves accuracy by providing a magnified image of the reticle area at the top of the display. With only 1/10 of the display area reserved for PiP, the field of view remains virtually unobstructed for simultaneous PiP and FOV viewing.
Built-in video recording
Capturing still images and video is seamless with the Trail’s built-in video recorder. Image and video content is stored internally and can easily be transferred to PC/laptop via wired connection or Wi-Fi.
Mobile-friendly (iOS, Android) with remote control and live internet streaming
The highlight of the Trail is the ability to link via Wi-Fi the device with Android and iOS based mobile units using the free mobile application Stream Vision. The Stream Vision software connects the device with Android/iOS mobile unit (smartphone or tablet) which enables you to receive footage in the real time mode, to distantly operate the device with your smartphone, as well to stream online the image captured by the device to Youtube.
Built-in accelerometer / gyroscope
A built-in accelerometer/gyroscope improves accuracy by precisely identifying cant and angles greater than 5° with an arrow indicating the direction and degree of lateral tilting. Increased angles are denoted with additional arrows.Moreover, the riflescope can be set to auto shutdown when resting in a non-shooting position. Unit operation may be disabled when the vertical angle is greater than 70° or horizontal angle is greater than 30°. The accelerometer feature may be temporarily disabled for continued use at excessive angles.
Quick-change B-Pack power units
Trail includes a progressive autonomous B-Pack power supply consisting of a quick-detach, rechargeable IPS5, 5.2A-h battery pack designed to deliver over 8 hrs. of operation on maximum mode. Higher-powered IPS10 battery packs, as well as CR123A and AA battery cases, also are available and provide a perfect off-the-grid power solution.
Stadiametric rangefinder
Based on estimated heights of observed objects, the stadiametric rangefinding reticle makes determining precise distances fast, easy, reliable and repeatable.
Fully waterproof
IPX7 waterproof-rated protection ensures the Trail performs perfectly in wet weather, even during intense rain, snowfall and submersion in 3 ft. of water for up to 30 min. (IEC 60529).
Wide range of operating temperatures
With a frost-resistant AMOLED display, the Trail thermal imaging sight is designed to deliver flawless performance at an extreme temperature range of -25° ... +50°С.
Fully-functional wireless control
The ergonomic, wireless remote control, with encoder wheel, puts the full range of the Trail’s capabilities at your fingertips for comfortable, convenient, hands-off operation.
Display-off mode
During short periods of inactivity and better concealment, Display Off powers down the display without interrupting other operating functions. Using Display Off means a much faster restart time when you need it most.
User-friendly interface
The Trail is designed with ease-of-operation in mind. User feedback has resulted in the most friendly interface to date, complete with an easy-to-read, icon-driven, alpha-numeric status bar at the bottom of the display. Internal menu items and options are also displayed on a contrasting gradient substrate so you can keep an eye on settings without losing sight of your objective.
Updatable software
For initial setup and additional updates, the iOS and Android compatible Stream Vision App ensures the most recent Trail software versions are available.

Thermal Imaging
Please note that most thermal devices are built per order. It may take 3-5 days or more for your order to ship. If timely shipping is important to you, please, contact us to verify availability prior to ordering.
Thermal devices can produce various types of images. Some are color others are monochrome. In either case change in shade or color indicates temperature differences.
Here is how thermal imaging devices work...
A special lens focuses the infrared light emitted by all of the objects in view.
The focused light is scanned by a phased array of infrared-detector elements. The detector elements create a very detailed temperature pattern called a thermogram. It only takes about one-thirtieth of a second for the detector array to obtain the temperature information to make the thermogram. This information is obtained from several thousand points in the field of view of the detector array.
The thermogram created by the detector elements is translated into electric impulses.
The impulses are sent to a signal-processing unit, a circuit board with a dedicated chip that translates the information from the elements into data for the display.
The signal-processing unit sends the information to the display, where it appears as various colors depending on the intensity of the infrared emission. The combination of all the impulses from all of the elements creates the image.
There are a few key Manufacturers when it comes to thermal imaging.
ATN: produce such well knows devies as ThOR-HD thermal scope, BINOX-THD thermal binoculars, and OTS-HD thermal monocular.
FLIR/Armasight: the largest maker of consumer level thermal products is well knows for their full product line. Zeus thermal scopes, Q14 and Scout monoculars, Helios and Scout binoculars and many more.
Pulsar: a very popular brand for digital night vision and thermal imaging. Key products include Pulsar Trail and Apex thermal scopes and Pulsar Helion and Quantum thermal monoculars.
Seek: mobile device mounted thermal cameras are the main products of this brand.
Delivery Time and Manufacturing Process for Pulsar Trail XP50 Thermal Riflescope 1.6-12.8X50:
Most of our manufacturers do not keep products like Pulsar Trail XP50 Thermal Riflescope 1.6-12.8X50 assembled on the shelf. Night Vision tubes are kept separate from the body of the unit. When the order is placed, the manufacturer starts the order processing and assembly process which includes the following:
- Order processing - we collect all the necessary information including address and phone numbers. We also make sure that our customer ordered the correct product for their needs and that the product can be exported by US law to the country of destination. In some cases a signed export compliance form is required.
- QC - in this step the manufacturer will inspect all individual parts which will be used to assemble the night vision device for any defects.
- Production & Assembly - during production, all the parts are put together. Night Vision tubes in inserted into the body of the unit and all the complex electronics for the device are connected. This process takes place in a special lab called the "clean room" as even a small speckle of dust can cause undesired optical effect.
- QA - one the night vision device is assembled, it goes through a rigorous testing process to make sure it meets all the expected specifications and all parts function as expected. For this most manufacturers have a special "dark room" designed to allow testing of the units without causing incidental damage to the night vision tube by exposure to bright light.
- Packaging - this is a key process as well. In most case your night vision device will be shipped to you directly from the manufacturer but sometimes needs to be sent to us first. In either case items need to be packaged securely to avoid any kind of damage during transportation.
- Shipping - as described above items will most of the time ship from the manufacturer. For most domestic orders (unless shipping to POB or AFB) a premium shipper like FedEx or UPS will be used.
Only by following the above steps can we along with our manufacturers bring you - our customer - night vision products of highest quality, However as you can understand the above process can take several days to complete. For example if your device fails QA, the entire process restarts. Also at QC stage a manufacturer may realize that the tube they have in stock has a defect and a replacement tube needs to be ordered. Due to the complexity of this process, it is prudent to expect 3-4 business days for production and handling of the purchased device. Keep in mind that this process is designed to guarantee your satisfaction with the night vision device of your choice. It occasionally possible to expedite the process for urgent orders but addional fees or other restrictions may apply.

So far very good
This is my first Thermal Scope but so far everything about this scope is top notch. Took a little longer to sight in and instructions were a little cryptic but once understood pretty easy. Video recording is very easy and easy to transfer to computer. Have not got the hang of WiFi or Blue Tooth but only have had the scope for less than a week. Over all very happy camper with the Pulsar Trail XP50.

Outstanding scope
This was my first scope to use that had higher resolution core at 640x480. Previously I'd used 320 range resolution scopes. After using this scope I decided it was time to have one of my own. I am amazed that other manufacturers still sell 320 core products at or above the price of this unit. Add to that the on board video, picture in picture, wifi capabilities. I just don't think you can go wrong. The service from Night Vision Guys, and in particular from Felix T. has bee just outstanding. I had a defective battery that just wouldn't take a charge, they had another shipped from the factory within a day. I've felt taken care of from the very beginning from a service perspective.

Question
I would like to purchase either the xp50 or the xq50 but am unsure of the differences. Can you explain what makes one device unique from the other please? Thx -d
From Dave on Sep 23, 2017
Answer
hi Dave. This is a great question. The primary difference is in the resolution of the thermal sensor. XP50 is a 640x480 while XQ50 is 384x288. Higher resolution permits the XP unit to have a bit more magnification capacity and will naturally offer a sharper image quality.
Question
Is the quick release mount like the one Lone Star Boars introduced on his ytube ch available to purchase ?
From Oleg on Sep 29, 2017
Answer
Hi Oleg. We are expecting about 30 days or so until that mount is available on Pulsar thermal scope.
Question
Does the Trail XP50 have built in Audio and Video,, or Video only ?
From Dennis on Nov 26, 2017
Answer
Hi Dennis. I believe the on-board recorder is photo/video only on Pulsar Trail XP50.
Question
1. What are the battery options? Is the xp50 only using the rechargeable pack? Or is there a AA or CR123 option and how does that work? I don't always have access to a charger when out for awhile. 2. How much magnification does the Picture in Picture provide over what you're seeing in the rest of the picture? 3. What is the expected availability of the XP 50 these days? Still a 3-week backlog? 4. Is the XP 50 practical on an M4 or AR15 in .223? Is it too big and heavy for those? 5. Do you have the smaller quick release in stock now now? Thanks.
From Virgel on Mar 09, 2018
Answer
Hi Virgel. Lots of good question from you about this Pulsar XP50 thermal scope. Will try to answer them all, reply back if I miss something. Magnification you see in the PIP is whatever you pick based on the available magnification of the scope. The availability is still limited and depends on timing of your order. We get shipments periodically but all depends on the number pre-orders we have to fill. XP50 is practical enough. We certainly have many customers using these in that setup. The LQD mount is standard now with new units. For battery solutions, we offer optional rechargeable battery pack as well as cases for AA or CR123 batteries.
Question
