Thank you. I have been looking at videos to learn about the Pulsar I just bought and this is the best and most helpful video I have seen.

The absolute best and most outstanding training video on the Talion that I have seen. Most of the shops have no idea how to explain the system and the Pulsar is confusing with the data that is received with the scope from the manufacture. Thank you for taking time to explain the system.

The left hand recording through the scope was preformed by simply hitting the REC button on the scope while in video mode. (Look in the top left of your display and if you see a video camera icon it's in video mode, if you see a camera icon do a long press on the REC button first to switch to video mode) A short REC button press will start recording and you should see a red dot and timer activate. Another short press will pause or resume recording and a long press while recording will stop and save the video.

@@foxoptic5887 a lot of thanks Travis. Seems they blocked the mentioned app in Ukraine. The last question, do you know if some software development API available for this scope? I mean if I want to develop some software and communicate with rifflescope programmatically from externall app - fetch video, change settings and profiles, etc. Thanks

@SuperBatiskaf The Stream Vision 2 wifi application (this is a different app than the Bluetooth controlled Stream Vision ballistics) already allows video transfer and remote operation of most scope functions. If you interested in app development opportunities, I would contact Yukon Global directly, I am guessing they don't allow this.

I unfortunately have the Thermion Hd. The 1.75 is a BIG problem imagine what a 300m target will look like next to some hot rocks or farm beasts. The 1.75 is defalt for ranging. The PIP is not big enough and can only be partially turned off. Its also too slow for ranging moving targets with PIP turned off. When PIP is turned off it takes 10+ seconds for the PIP to leave the main screen. (It uses PIP as part of the ranging process) Over all a lesser picture than a Themion XP50 clunky ranging operation and more fiddling to get a decent picture ( and i hae not used it in bad weather yet. Sorry i bought it as im now stuck with it. Iown a lot of Pulsars kit and have done so for years and this is a dissapiontment. Can you do a video showing the Pulsar at long range in less than perfect weather. Cheers from Scotland.

Personally, I like the extra versatility that the lower base magnification and higher resolutional compression provide. The XL unquestionably has better image performance if focused properly at distance than the XP50 with double the pixels per sq unit area. I lock the PIP on and use it to shoot with so I don't have issue with it going out after 10 seconds when the lfr is activated. Ranging with the LRF hasn't been an issue for me. In inclement weather I still get better ID'S, than the XP50 PRO can provide in almost every side by side condition that I have tested.

@@foxoptic5887 Im not seeing the versatility. In reality the picture is fantastic in short to medium range (<200m) thats what you get free with the 1.75 base magnification and HD. But the scope has to work harder for longer ranges and the picture really breaks up as the digital picture building is stretched. At 300m the 1.75 picture is useless for anything never mind further ranges, and its all digital zoom from there. PIP is not my preferred choice to shoot, in my opinion why use a small sight box when you have 3/4 of a screen sitting doing nothing, the problem is the scope does not offer a good option, its PIP or a bad offering if you dont want PIP. At 300m+ the non HD scopes see far better, I spent a day running the new HD with the standard Thermion2 and the older scope beats it hand down. The HD at 800m is down to a line of Pixels its that bad, The Thermion2 is a blob but its a better picture by far and you could still identify for instance a sheep from a fox if it was moving about. I have watched as many Thermion 2HD on line videos as possible and not one shows the scope at any distance over 200m. I dont think anyone is brave enough to test the 2 units at proper distances in a side by side. I own many scopes and understand fully what it takes tho get these things focused so Im sure im not the problem.

@paddymularkey At 100 yards, the XL with 1.75x has a FOV of 14x10.5 degrees or approximately 3975 sq ft with 786432 pixels this translates to approximately 200 pixels per sq ft at 100 yds. This is basically identical resolutional compression as all 3x 640x480 units on the market. The versatility comes in having the same resolutional compression (same top end ID'S. I prefer to use mathematical facts rather than subjective opinions. ) If focused correctly, the shallower 1.75x lens should actually produce slightly better results than a 3x at the same focal distance as the rays aren't bent as steeply. For me, the advantage of PIP is that I get FOV from the larger base screen for better situational awareness while being an eye movement away from clear and potentially highly magnified shot precision. The alternative in non HD devices narrowing the base FOV to increase resolution with less pixels. As your sensor gets bigger, your base magnification is limited at a given focal length. Increase the lens depth and you decrease exit pupil, this then requires a longer focal length and typically larger lens to deal with the weaker and potentially noisier signal caused by the longer distance from lens to sensor and sharper lens curve. With this said, I will agree to disagree. The XL50 is much more versatile than pretty much anything else on the market currently. (An opinion based on facts and my own comparison with multiple 640x480 units) 640x480 3x units are a great way to save money if you click the box FOV isn't critically important for my use. For me, the fact is, if I can have both in 1 device (FOV and long range high resolution), I will take it. FOV gives me more situational awareness (at night you can't see what's happening outside the display and it also gives me increased reticle travel vs narrower resolution/FOV units as reticle movement is constrained by the FOV

@@foxoptic5887 Wow that all sounds great and thats what I spent £6000 British pounds on, Pulsars marketing blurb, Your obviously paid to sell it, IM not, Im stuck with an inferior product. But the trouble is im not playing at 100yards. The problem comes at 300m-600m where that 1.75base with 10.5 degrees of angle is practically useless as a FOV where everything is now dots in the distance and your left with a poor quality PIP to shoot with. At that distance I find I want the whole screen for identification and see whats around my target. And again thats where this scope falls down, by not giving a good non PIP option. You like your numbers I just like a good clear picture, the Thermion HD does this badly. Show a side by side test of a fox or rabbit at 600m / 14x zoom and see what scope has the best image. If your brave show something at 1000m and the HD will show individual pixels, I know I spent my weekend comparing with my NON HD Thermion2.

I’m working with the newer Thermion 2 LRF XP50. Also have the StreamVision Ballistics calculator. I have it zeroed at 100 m, but when I back up in distance, it already appears to be off target when I’ve used the rangefinder and believe it has been the proper adjustment. Do these products let you zero it in say at 25 yard increments, so that when you’re out in the field and range it with the LRF, it will calculate from your imputed settings, or does it just straight adjust from the hundred meter zero? Thank you for any insight!
@foxoptic5887
@foxoptic5887 2 ай бұрын
The new LRF units will provide a suggested point of impact based on the ballistics information that you input. You can input pretty much any starting point you would like, 50, 60, 75, 100, 200 etc Yards or Meters. Basically the inputs create a start origin and associated trajectory curve for the projectile. Then it calculates the intersections at the LRF input over distances as they deviate from the "known" starting point. (The distance that you tell it you zeroed at)

That has a drop compensator for the 300 blackout ammo. I know Trijicon has a termal with a 300 blackout reticle. I need a cheaper one. Lol

I’m at a lose. I’m zeroed at 100m, but after getting a range approximately 200m and it appears to mesh with the ballistics calculator, the shots drop nearly 12 inches below target. I’m aiming with the “X” location after the rangefind. Windage is negligible.

You do the best job on the internet of showing how to use the Pulsar products. Just downloaded the 3.2.0 ballistic update for the Thermion Pro 2 LRF and nowhere does Pulsar show how to use use it for windage or its new features. “The update improves remote-control panel handling for more intuitive operation, allows for customizable SPOA symbols, variable SPOA colors, multiple distance visualization options, adjustable correction display time, extended rangefinder widget display time, continuous ballistic calculations during target tracking, detailed profile names, integration of RA4 ballistic profile, and updated autocalibration indication.” Would be great if you could make a new video about how to use these features. Might have to switch buying my Pulsar product from you. Keep up the good work.

I like the term versatile. This unit gives me the clarity of my trijicon, with bells and whistles and warranties like my ATN/Iray's, and the ability to use for up close shots and long distance. A lot of people don't understand how challenging a hunt can be when you are solo and your scope is either lacking on FOV for scanning purposes or inability to zoom with a decent picture to identify a heat signature over 1000 yds. I don't see any product that offers the best of both worlds. The iray pro might but it is still 640. Thank you for the review.
