Pulsar Accolade XP50 Thermal Binocular Review

Stadiametric rangefinder 

One of the main features of XP 50 is the stadiametric rangefinder. It calculates the distance between the user and the object within a few seconds. With the help of the estimated heights and size of an object, the stadiametric rangefinder calculates the accurate distances fastly and provides ranging information rapidly.

Picture-in-Picture mode

Picture-in-Picture mode provides users with a possibility to display an additional image of a certain region of the full view, on the screen depending on the user’s wish. PIP provides several times magnified images of an object and gives a more detailed view of the image in the pitch dark. It just covers 10% of the overall field of view to get a closer view of an object. The zoom-in and zoom-out images are displayed simultaneously.

Detection Range

The combination of high-quality lens and thermal sensor makes it unique and provides the longest detection range. Identifying the objects at very far distances is an essential factor for binocular users in the wild.  Using Pulsar XP 50 thermal binocular, you can easily see even the smallest objects that are located at the range of 2,000 yards away from the binocular users.

Calibration modes 

Calibration means non-uniformity correction that should be updated at regular intervals to provide a better clarity image. It minimizes the unwanted signals, thus enhancing the binocular performance and image quality. Pulsar Accolade XP 50 Thermal Binocular has 3 modes of calibration;

• Automatic mode: Shutter closes and calibration is performed automatically at regular intervals of time without user.

Batteries

Pulsar Accolade XP50 Binoculars come with a standard IPS5 battery package that can work continuously for up to 8 hours while using a WI-Fi connection. The battery is rechargeable and installed with the device. Thus, it improves the efficiency of the binocular and provides flawless performance.

Convenient for Long-distance Observation

Accolade XP 50 Binocular is designed with a dual eyepiece that decreases eye strain. So that you can view the faraway objects freely with both the eyes. As the human brain is habitual to receive visual data from two eyes and at the same time the brain converts the data into a single image. Viewing through both the eyes reduces eye fatigue. 

But while using a single eye to view the object, the brain obtains single input which can cause uncomfortable feelings and stress to your eyes. XP 50 Binocular avoids these inconvenient issues.

Dynamic Interpolation Distance

Usually, the Pupillary Distance of each and every person varies and here adjustable Interpolation Distance feature of the Accolade XP 50 Thermal Binocular eyelids allows you to modify the light position according to your needs. The eyelid’s distance can be changed for your comfort and thus enhancing vision quality.
