The features of the Pulsar Telos XL50 in the test
Since the Telos series is a modular systemare All devices in the series are constructed in the same way. Otherwise, individual retrofitting would not be possible. For example, the double ring system: There are two rings on the lens that allow you to individually adjust the focus and the digital zoom – this is really very practical. The lens cover is also excellently implemented: The Lid opens silently and is firmly attached so that nothing rattles. Overall a very well thought out constructionOn the bottom of the device, in the version without LRF, you will find a suitable thread for a tripod or a canopy mount, for example.
- Can be retrofitted with a laser rangefinder:
The Pulsar Telos XL50 is in a second variant available with laser rangefinder - the Pulsar Telos LRF XL50But don't worry if you have already ordered the version without LRF and now realize that such a laser might be quite useful. As already mentioned, you can have it retrofitted. This will make the Device is a little heavier and the thread on the bottom is no longer usable – you should definitely pay attention to this. - New battery system:
The brand new, easily replaceable Li-ion battery LPS 7i needed no special charger – The new, easily replaceable Li-ion battery LPS 7i is extremely user-friendly as it does not require a special charger. You can either charge the battery directly in the device or charge it via the USB Type-C port, which is particularly convenient. The quick charge function ensures that the battery is ready for use again quickly.
Unfortunately, we do not yet have any inductive chargers from Pulsar tested, so we cannot yet comment on the functionality of the wireless charging. However, the battery offers a running time of up to seven hours, which makes it a reliable companion for your missions. - Easy handling:
The operation of Pulsar Telos XL50 is extremely user-friendly and specifically tailored to the requirements of hunting The keys are designed to be palpable elevations and clear pictograms can be easily distinguished even in the dark or in poor lighting conditions - a decisive advantage when stalking at night. The easy-to-grip diopter adjustment enables precise and easy-to-adjust adjustment, which ensures comfort, especially during longer periods of use.
However, there is a small disadvantage for hunters with larger hands: The The focus ring and the zoom ring are quite close together, which can make it a little more difficult to use when wearing gloves. Nevertheless, the device scores points for its well thought-out functionality. Another highlight is the vibration when switching on and off, which gives the hunter haptic feedback even in the dark without having to rely solely on his sense of sight. This feature provides additional safety and is particularly useful in practice.
The operation of Pulsar Telos XL50 is not only user-friendly, but also responsive. The buttons respond precisely to every press, which ensures reliable control - especially important when you have to act quickly. The clear menu for controlling the camera is intuitive and makes navigation easy, even under stressful conditions.
Another plus point is the pleasantly dimmed brightness of the display, which is easy on the eyes and minimizes glare. This ensures that the image remains clear and easy on the eyes even after prolonged use, which is a great advantage in the dark. This means you always have an overview without impairing your own night vision.
