The Pulsar Krypton 2 FXG50 review

The scope of delivery of the Pulsar Krypton 2 FXG50

Before we start with ours Pulsar Start the Krypton 2 FXG50 Pro test, as always, let's take this first Take a closer look at the accessories and scope of delivery of the thermal imaging device. The attachment itself comes in one compact bag - Pulsar They always put a lot of effort into presenting the products in an appealing way, which we think is really great. The bag is not only aesthetic, but also appears particularly solid. Here Look and function really come together. Also included in delivery are:
 

  • Bag for the device
  • Brief instruction manual for the attachment
  • Quickstartguide for the StreamVision app 2
  • Charging cradle
  • IPS 7 battery
  • Remote Control
  • power plug with USB input
  • Data / charging cable

Basically it can be said: in the scope of delivery effect Pulsar thought of everything - you have everything you need to plan your next hunting trip straight away. Here The details are also particularly impressive: With the charging cradle, for example, you have a practical display on the side that lights up green or red depending on the status. And also the simple, included cable really well done: here All important adapters suppliedthat you need. However, in the enclosed instructions you will only find an abbreviated version - it is important here Pulsar to keep an eye on the page where all innovations are published. Of course, you can also find all the important information in yours Account.

We can say that Pulsar really here The aim is to respond to the needs of users – there’s a well-deserved plus point for that!

The features of the Pulsar Krypton 2 FXG50 in the test

As Pulsar We fans have waited a long time for the new Krypton attachment and were not disappointed. At first glance the device is really visually appealing – especially heard when processing the outer casing Pulsar really top class. The complete device feels very valuable what we really like. The reason for this is also that Magnesium Alloy, which loud Pulsar also about one Bullet resistance of up to 6000 joules with 375 Magnum calibers. So you don't have to worry about anything breaking here.

Im Pulsar Krypton 2 FXG50 itself was compared to the previous model new AMOLED display installed - here you now have over 1920 pixels in resolution and therefore a really very good picture. You only have to make a few compromises in resolution when taking photos or videos, which you can save on the 16 GB internal memory - although this is still absolutely sufficient to show your hunting friends about your latest experiences on the hunt to report. In addition to internal storage you have that too Pulsar Krypton 2 FXG50 one built-in weapon storage and can save several glasses.

 

  • Light weight: With the weight of just 487 g with battery used for? Pulsar really a clear statement - similar devices with comparable imaging power are much heavier here. Also the main emphasis has been changed: The device's battery is now no longer on the side, but on top of the device. This not only fits particularly smoothly into the overall look, but also also changes the weight distribution, which is pleasant. Here has Pulsar really thought through.
  • Two copies: The Krypton 2 will be there give two different versions: once with a 50mm lens and an mk value of less than 40 and a 35mm lens with an mk value of less than 25. This gives you the opportunityto choose the right device for your area. With a large lens you have a lot of absorption surface and can let a lot of heat radiation into the device. The mk value of 40 is definitely worth it. With a smaller lens - these devices detect for a shorter time - with a value of less than 25. This has clearly proven itself in practice.
  • Service: You will find one on the side of the Krypton 2 FXG50 Cursor wheel – However, this is not intended for operating the menu as you would, for example, from Pulsar Proton knew, but will be for the Focusing the lens used. We have one here internal focusing, which is a bit stiff at first, but becomes easier over time. What makes operation a little more complicated, however, is when the device sits directly on the glass. Here you have to go through Navigate circular menu – and with keys that are not arranged in a circle. It's a little complicated at the beginning, but with a little practice you'll get the hang of it quickly.
  • Menu design: When designing the menu itself Pulsar on “Less is more” approach set. The round top menu only includes the most important settings and points. For more features you have to go through the Subpoints Navigate, but here too you can find your way around easily and intuitively. That too Bullet menu is well solved and self-explanatory to use: You can see directly where you move the axis and how many centimeters that is over 50 m or 100 m - we think: This is really well done!
  • Individually adjustable display: We all know it: after you zero in on a device and slide the display onto the reticle, the display is far too far left or right. Here has Pulsar thought through and one Menu item developed with which you can do this Align the display individually can. However, this is only possible in conjunction with the PSP adapter. Small drawback: the device comes with a bug when delivered, so you initially have to You have to update to be able to use the function. Unfortunately, the PSP adapter was not able to establish itself on the market because the alignment and the rubber inserts were not designed to be user-friendly.
  • Intuitive remote control: The scope of delivery of the Pulsar Krypton 2 FXG50 includes a remote control, which you can attach it to the front of the shaft. Here has Pulsar really try to think for yourself - this way you can also use the remote control while holding the weapon. It remains to be seen whether the adhesive pads will prove themselves in practice. In an emergency, you have to improvise a little.
  • PSP system: The Pulsar Krypton 2 FXG50 can theoretically also work with that PSP system be used. The optionally available Pulsar 3x20B Monocular can transform the Krypton 2 into a compact handheld monocular within seconds. The bayonet adapter, which can also be purchased as an option, can make it even easier to switch from handheld to attachment and vice versa. Sounds good in theory, but difficult in practice: The Multi Adapter is equipped with inserts, which makes intuitive operation much more difficult. We would advise against this.
  • Powerful battery: The Pulsar Krypton 2 FXGH50 has a IPS 7 battery system. So if you have a Helion device from Pulsar own (for example this Pulsar Helion 2 XP50 or Pulsar Helion 2 XQ38F) you can, as with Pulsar Krypton FXG50 use the same batteries. The battery life is estimated by the manufacturer at 11 hours, but we think that one A running time of 8 hours seems more realistic.

Technical details of the Pulsar Krypton 2 FXG50 reviews

The powerful Thermal imaging sensor with 640 × 480 pixels in collaboration with the 12 µm small pixel pitch gives the Pulsar Krypton 2 FXG50 high-contrast and sharp thermal image. This means that the game can be easily recognized and a distinction can be clearly made between the overgrown surroundings and the animal.
