The features of the Pulsar Merger LRF XP35 in review

The Merger LRF XP35 is a remarkably compact and handy device, which is about the size of a palm and is therefore very easy to handle. It is something smaller than its predecessor models, which significantly improves handling. With a weight of 880 grams it is light enough for longer use without putting too much strain on the arms. The binoculars are attached directly to a Neck strap supplied – this is really very useful in the field, especially when you want to quickly grab your rifle. The buttons are intuitive to use and Lens flaps close super smoothly and noiselessly – here you don’t have to worry about accidentally scaring away the game. For the individual visual comfort The device has a diopter adjustment for each eye and an adjustable eye distance – really great!

The Robust housing made of magnesium alloy makes the Merger LRF XP35 ideal for frequent and often rough use. It effectively protects the sensitive electronics from external influences such as impacts, falls, moisture, heat and cold. In addition, the metal housing dissipates the heat from the electronics, which Increased durability of the device during long-term observations. Thanks to its IPX7 certification, the Pulsar Merger LRF XP35 is waterproof and works perfectly even after 30 minutes of immersion in water up to one meter deep. All in all, the Pulsar Merger LRF XP35 is a solid and well thought out device.

An outstanding detail of this merger is the exceptionally large field of view of 31 meters - the largest in the field of binoculars. Together with a large sensor, this ensures impressive imaging performance, even with objects far away, and makes it an absolute stalker and spotter's glass.

The basic functions of the thermal imaging binoculars hardly differ from the other models in the Merger series. most important functions and features can be found summarized below:

 

  • Double battery system:
    The Pulsar Merger LRF XP35 is equipped with a double battery system While one battery is built directly into the device, you can replace another APS3 battery as needed. The manufacturer itself states a battery life of up to 9 hours - however, this value was tested under optimal conditions and does not reflect what we tested in our test: After just under 4 hours, our battery was used up. Plus point for the imprint on the caseThis makes it easy to feel the orientation of the replaceable batteries so that they can be replaced quickly and safely in total darkness.
    A However, there is a point deduction for the red flashing icon, which lights up on the edge of the screen as soon as the APS3 battery is exhausted. This bothered us so much during our time in the area that we have completely removed the external battery from the deviceas soon as it was empty.
  • Comfortable, natural vision:
    The Merger LRF XP35 is particularly characterized by its outstanding ergonomics and first-class viewing experience that corresponds to the natural way in which humans perceive the world with both eyes. This method is less tiring and allows for a Better detection of fine details and weak heat sourcesand better performance in low contrast environments compared to monocular thermal imaging devices. The Merger XP35 LRF binoculars also offer the Advantage of adjustable eye relieffrom 62 mm to 74 mm, which means it can be adapted to the individual needs of the user. The diopter compensation can also be adjusted separately for each eye.
  • Eye sensor proximity sensor:
    The Merger LRF XP35 is, like its predecessor models, equipped with a Eye sensor/proximity sensor which automatically activates the display or puts it into standby mode, depending on whether the device is brought to the eye or removed again. This feature proves to be very practical. However, in our test we found that the Sensor often detects approach too late when the device is mounted on a stalking stick or tripodThere is definitely room for improvement on the part of the manufacturer Pulsar.
  • Built-in laser rangefinder:
    The integrated laser rangefinder enables precise distance measurements with a range of up to 1 kilometer - in our test we checked the distance up to 600 meters. The measurements can be carried out in both single and continuous measurement mode and offer an accuracy of up to 1 meter. A truly outstanding feature!
