Here’s a focused comparison of the Pulsar KRYPTON 2 XQ35 and Pulsar KRYPTON 2 XG50 thermal imaging attachments to help you choose the right model.

1. Key Specifications

2. Performance

• Thermal Sensor:

  • The XQ35 has a lower-resolution sensor (384x288), making it sufficient for general detection and observation.
  • The XG50 offers a higher-resolution sensor (640x480), delivering sharper images, better detail, and more accurate identification.

• NETD (Noise Equivalent Temperature Difference):

  • The XG50’s <25 mK sensitivity outperforms the XQ35’s <40 mK, allowing it to detect finer temperature differences, especially in challenging weather conditions (fog, rain, or snow).

3. Detection Range

• XQ35: Detects objects up to ~1,350 meters, which is adequate for medium-range use.
• XG50: Extends detection to ~2,000 meters, making it ideal for long-range spotting and precision use.

4. Lens Size and FOV

• XQ35 (35mm lens):

  • Offers a wider field of view, making it better for scanning larger areas quickly.
  • Suitable for closer and medium-range applications.

• XG50 (50mm lens):

  • Provides a narrower field of view, which enhances long-range precision and detail.
  • More effective for target identification at greater distances.
