The new Helion 2 XP50 expands on the tremendous success of the first generation Helion series with higher performance and new features. A new and advanced NETD <40 mK sensor produces more precise detail than ever before. Even when thermal contrast is low, small temperature differences are clearly visible with richly contrasted, high-resolution imaging. This is a large improvement over the sensors in the first generation of Helions and it gives much greater sensitivity to temperature changes.

The Helion 2 is IPX7 waterproof for use all weather conditions, including blistering heat and bitter cold. The stadiametric rangefinder makes determining precise distances fast, easy, reliable and repeatable. The Helion 2 XP50 boasts an uncooled, 640x480 resolution micro-bolometric sensor, at 17 µm pixel pitch, for highly detailed imaging. Capturing still images and video is seamless with the Helion’s built-in video recorder. Image and video content is stored internally and can easily be transferred to PC/laptop via wired connection or wirelessly to your smartphone or tablet with the iOS and Android compatible Stream Vision App.

In addition to user-favorite “white hot” and “black hot” imaging, Helion 2 scopes offer a robust array of color palettes for true colorized temperature mapping. Transitioning from color to default “white hot” during operation is also fast and easy. Helion 2 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.

The Helion 2 includes the new Pulsar IPS7 rechargeable battery for ultra-long battery life. This thermal imaging unit can run 10-12 hours on one charge.

The Pulsar Helion 2 XP50 retains all of the great features of the XQ version, but with the following additions:

The Helion XP series features a 640x480 <40mk 17µm thermal sensor and is available with three different lenses; 28mm, 38mm and 50mm. The lenses on the XP series are interchangeable with additional lenses that are available to purchase separately. This allows any Helion XP device to satisfy the need to have a spotter with a wide field of view (with the 28mm lens fitted) or by switching the lens, a high magnification unit (with a 50mm lens fitted).

High resolution 640x480

• The Helion XP is fitted with an uncooled micro-bolometric matrix - 640x480px with 17µm pixel pitch – that provides highly detailed images.

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

• Helion XP models include up to 8x magnification and feature both 2x step-up and smooth, graduated magnification for a truly optimum, customised field of view.

High image frequency

• At a high refresh rate of 50Hz, the Helion series provides comfortable viewing throughout dynamic, rapid motion.

Detection distance up to 1800m

• Depending on the model, Helion thermal imaging scopes can detect man-size heat signatures up to 1800 metres away.

PiP (Picture in Picture) Functionality

• PiP allows you to see a zoomed image simultaneously with the main image in a dedicated window within the viewfinder.

Built-in video recording

• Capturing still images and video is seamless with the Helionl’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 Helion 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 devices which enables you to receive footage in real time mode, to distantly operate the device with your smartphone and to stream the footage captured by the device to direct to Youtube.

Quick-change B-Pack power units

• All Helions include a progressive autonomous B-Pack power supply consisting of a quick-detach, rechargeable IPS5, 5.2A-h battery pack designed to deliver up to 8 hours of operation. Higher-powered IPS10 battery packs, CR123A and AA battery cases are also available and provide a perfect off-grid power solution.

Stadiametric rangefinder

• Based on the estimated heights of observed objects, the stadiametric rangefinding reticle makes determining distances fast, easy, reliable and repeatable.

Fully waterproof

• IPX7 waterproof-rated protection ensures the Helion performs perfectly in wet weather, even during intense rain, snowfall and submersion in 3 feet of water for up to 30 minutes. (IEC 60529).

Wide range of operating temperatures

• With a frost-resistant AMOLED display, the Helion thermal imaging scope is designed to deliver flawless performance at an extreme temperature range of -25°C to +50°C.

Fully-functional wireless control (optional)

• The ergonomic, wireless remote control, with encoder wheel, puts the full range of the Helion’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 Helion is designed with ease-of-operation in mind. User feedback has resulted in the most user 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 Helion software versions are available.
