Pocket-sized. Sees a kilometre in darkness.
At 300 g and 144 mm long, the Alaris XQ30 is the thermal monocular that’s always in your pocket – and always ready. Detect animals at 1,050 m through total darkness, fog, and dense scrub without carrying extra kit.
Pocket thermal. The one you actually carry, because you hardly know it’s there.
Detect what your eyes cannot – in any conditions.
The 384×288 uncooled sensor with 17 μm pixel pitch and system NETD below 20 mK picks out warm animals against cold backgrounds in dense bush, open paddock, fog, and smoke. Nine selectable colour palettes – including White Hot, Black Hot, and Red Hot – let you tune the display to conditions.
System NETD in millikelvin. Detects the faintest heat signatures, even in low-contrast environments where conventional night vision fails.
Wide scan to close detail. 2–8×.
The F30/1.2 objective and 13.3° field of view let you sweep paddock edges at 2× and zoom to 8× to confirm a species in seconds. Smooth digital zoom with no pause or button hunting.
Frost-resistant. Vivid at any temperature.
The frost-resistant AMOLED display at 640×400 pixels stays sharp and vivid from midsummer heat to winter pre-dawn cold. What the sensor captures, the screen renders faithfully.
Stream live to your phone.
Built-in dual-band Wi-Fi (2.4 / 5 GHz) connects to the Pulsar Wild Vision app for live streaming to a smartphone, remote control, and over-the-air firmware updates – all without cables.
16 GB onboard storage
Capture photos in JPG and video in MP4 directly to 16 GB of internal memory. Charge via USB-C while recording in the field.
IPX7 waterproof, magnesium alloy body
Rated IPX7 for full waterproofing. The rugged magnesium alloy housing resists drops and dissipates heat, staying reliable from −20°C to +40°C.
Always with you. On-target the moment it leaves your pocket.
At 144×41×69 mm and just 0.3 kg with battery installed, the Alaris XQ30 disappears into a jacket pocket. The symmetrical form and intuitively placed buttons mean you are scanning the moment you raise it, whether that’s at dawn, dusk, or 2 am in the field.
Find warm bodies. Even in total darkness.
The 13.3° field of view sweeps tree lines, paddock edges, and wetland margins fast. Animals hidden in darkness, dense scrub, or heavy morning fog appear immediately as bright heat signatures – even before your eyes have adjusted to the dark.
Run all night without stopping. Swap in seconds if you do.
The removable APS 3 lithium-ion battery (3,200 mAh) delivers 7.5 hours of continuous use at 22°C. When it runs low, swap in a spare in seconds, no tools required. USB-C charging means one cable for everything you carry.
Night vision stops here. Thermal doesn’t.
Rain, fog, smoke, and total darkness defeat conventional night vision – not thermal. The 50 Hz frame rate delivers smooth, real-time video with every warm body rendered clearly, whatever conditions the Australian night throws at you.
Compact. Capable. Ready for the field. Nothing is there for show.

Detect. Range. Identify. All from one device.
The Orni XG35 integrates 1,800 m thermal detection, a 1,500 m laser rangefinder, and electronic image stabilisation into a single monocular that runs for 12 hours. Built for birdwatchers and wildlife observers who push deep into the field.
Twelve hours of thermal. Stabilised views, integrated ranging, and the battery to use them all night.
Faint signatures. Long distances. Sharp results.
The 640×480 uncooled European sensor with 12 μm pixel pitch and system NETD below 20 mK resolves subtle heat differences at 1,800 m – through rain, fog, and dense scrub. Nine colour palettes let you tune contrast for the conditions at hand.
Kilometres of detection range in total darkness. No ambient light needed, no torch, no compromise to your night vision.
Range to 1,500 m, ±1 m
The Class 1 eye-safe laser rangefinder gives precise distance readouts up to 1,500 m in complete darkness. Switch between metres and yards on the fly.
Tripod-free clarity at 20×.
Electronic image stabilisation corrects hand shake across the full 2.5–20× zoom range. Hold a steady image on a perched raptor or a mammal at 1,500 m without reaching for a tripod.
Crisp 1024×768. Auto-brightness.
The frost-resistant AMOLED HD display at 1024×768 adjusts brightness automatically – readable at midnight, usable at dawn. What the sensor resolves, the display renders faithfully.
12 hours, quick-swap APS 5
A removable APS 5 (4,900 mAh) plus a 3,200 mAh built-in battery together deliver 12 hours. Swap the external pack in seconds without interrupting a session. Universal USB-C charging works with any power bank.
Ambidextrous, one-handed operation
Ergonomic grip works equally in left or right hand. Six conveniently placed buttons, haptic feedback for glove use, and a belt clip plus hand strap included. Optimised for long observation sessions in the field.
Identify species at range. Species-level detail without disturbing behaviour.
The 12.5° field of view sweeps treetops, paddock edges, and wetland margins efficiently. Zoom to 20× and the integrated rangefinder tells you exactly how far away that subject is. Built for the Australian birdwatcher who goes out before dawn and stays out after dark.
See through the dark. Find what hides.
The Orni XG35 resolves heat signatures at distances where conventional optics go blind – nocturnal animals, dense vegetation, fog, and rain are no longer obstacles. At 1,800 m, you are the apex observer.
12 hours. No recharge required mid-session.
The dual battery system pairs a quick-swap external APS 5 pack (4,900 mAh) with a 3,200 mAh built-in cell. When the external pack depletes, the device keeps running on the internal reserve while you swap. USB-C Power Delivery supports 5 V and 9 V fast charging.
IP67. Magnesium alloy. Ready for anything.
Full IP67 dust and waterproof protection paired with a magnesium alloy chassis handles the Australian bush, wet scrub, and desert heat alike – operating from −25°C to +40°C. It is built for observation, not for the shelf.
Range, detect, stabilise, record. All night, every night.

See what others cannot. At distances that leave wildlife undisturbed.
The Lumion XL50 brings a 1024×768 HD thermal sensor, F/1.0 germanium lens and 2,300 m detection range to serious birdwatchers, wildlife researchers and conservation professionals. Identify species in total darkness, through foliage, across open water – without ever getting close enough to influence behaviour.
Authorised Australian distribution. Full local warranty support from Bintel, Sydney.
The detail to identify. The range to stay back. The Lumion XL50 is the thermal monocular serious wildlife observers have been waiting for.
The bird in the hedgerow. Clearly resolved.
Image Boost applies advanced algorithmic processing to the raw sensor output, pulling fine detail from scenes where standard thermals deliver flat, ambiguous blobs. A wader at the water’s edge, a raptor perched in dense canopy, a mammal at the treeline – each becomes sharply defined.
Sensor sensitivity, brightness and contrast are all adjustable on the fly, so you tune the image to the species and the scene rather than accepting a generic preset.
Every detail considered, for observers who never switch off.
The XL50 is built for marathon sessions – from predawn roost counts to late-night mammal surveys. Ergonomics, weather resistance and intuitive controls combine so that the tool never becomes the obstacle.
Lock on before it moves
Zoom and focus rings follow the same layout as a professional camera lens. The moment you lift the XL50, the controls are where you expect them – so you frame, focus and confirm identity before a fast-moving subject disappears.
Confident in your grip, whatever the conditions
Wear-resistant rubber armour wraps the chassis for a secure hold in rain, mud or cold. It absorbs knocks, repels dust and moisture, and wipes clean at the end of a long session in the field.
Rated for the conditions you actually work in
IPX7 waterproofing and an operating range of −25 to +40°C cover everything from an alpine winter survey to a tropical coastal count. The chassis is built to perform, not to be babied.
Set it up the way you work
A symmetrical layout, adaptable hand straps and programmable buttons suit left and right-handed observers, and a personal user mode stores the settings you reach for most.
Grab it and go – wherever the survey takes you
The included case is built to work, not just store. Modular straps integrate with your backpack or field harness for a genuine 3-point carry, so the XL50 is always within reach and never in the way.
Sharp from the first light, even in a frost
The frost-resistant AMOLED HD display delivers a crisp, true-to-sensor image regardless of temperature. On cold mornings when conventional optics fog and digital screens dim, the XL50 shows you everything.
All night. With a spare in your pocket if you need it.
The APS 3 Li-ion pack delivers around 7 hours at +22°C. When a survey runs long, swap in a fresh pack in seconds – no cables, no waiting, no missed sightings.
Recharge over USB Type-C with Power Delivery support for a faster top-up, or drop the removed pack onto any Qi wireless pad when you are back at base.
2,300 m of reach. Every pixel working for you.
A 14° field of view sweeps habitat fast. An F/1.0 lens draws in thermal detail at the far edge of detection range. The result is an instrument that keeps up with wildlife – and with observers who know what they are looking for.
Everything you need in the field. Nothing you have to add.
Detail at the limits of detection
An F/1.0 objective gathers maximum thermal energy, so fine detail holds up in cool ambient conditions and at the outer edge of the 2,300 m detection range – where lesser lenses give you noise.
Document what you see, without slowing down
Record video and stills directly to 64 GB of built-in memory as .mp4 and .jpg files. No SD card to lose in the dark, no phone to pair before you can capture.
Share the sighting in real time
Dual-band 2.4 / 5 GHz Wi-Fi pairs with the Wild Vision app for live streaming to a phone or tablet, instant sharing with a team, or full remote control when the XL50 is deployed on a mount.
Colour palettes
Choose from nine thermal colour palettes to match the scene, the species and your own preference.

Thermal binoculars. HD clarity, 2,300 m range.
The Ventex XT50 delivers Europe’s highest-resolution thermal binocular experience – a 1280×1024 sensor, 17.5° wide field of view, and dual-eye observation that keeps you scanning longer without fatigue.
Wide-binocular vision. A 17.5° field and European HD sensor that reveals every corner of the landscape at once.
Pulsar’s sharpest thermal sensor. In a binocular.
A 1280×1024 uncooled European sensor with 12 μm pixel pitch and system NETD below 20 mK renders subtle heat differences with extraordinary fidelity. Paired with the HD AMOLED 1280×960 microdisplay, every feather, fur edge, and distant body reads with defining clarity.
Kilometres of detection range. Spot distant animals, birds at flight altitude, and hidden subjects in conditions where conventional optics see nothing.
17.5° – the widest thermal binocular view.
At 17.5° horizontal (30.7 m at 100 m) and a 62–74 mm interpupillary range, the Ventex XT50 fills both eyes with terrain. Less panning, more finding. Survey wetlands, open plains, and forest canopies the way you experience them in daylight.
1,500 m ranging. ±1 m accuracy.
The built-in Class 1 eye-safe laser rangefinder reads distance to 1,500 m with ±1 m precision, in complete darkness, without disturbing your subject. Switch metres and yards on the fly. No separate device to carry or fumble for.
2–16× zoom. Detail at every level.
A 1280×1024 sensor behind 2–16× digital zoom means maximum magnification doesn’t mean maximum pixellation. Distant birds and animals retain identifying detail at full zoom, day surveys or overnight.
8 hours. Hot-swap capable.
A B-Pack Mini external cell (3,200 mAh) plus a 4,000 mAh internal battery deliver 8 hours of operation. When the external pack depletes, the device switches to the internal reserve while you swap. USB-C Power Delivery charges at 5 V and 9 V.
Magnesium alloy. IPX7. −25°C to +50°C.
A one-piece magnesium alloy chassis handles the weight of full binocular optics without flex. IPX7 waterproofing protects in driving rain and splashes. Operating range from −25°C to +50°C covers every Australian season.
Both eyes working. Hours without discomfort.
Thermal monoculars tire the dominant eye – the Ventex XT50 does not. Natural dual-eye observation distributes the load, so pre-dawn surveys stretch into mid-morning without strain. The 62–74 mm interpupillary adjustment and 15 mm eye relief accommodate the full range of observers.
You see them. They don’t see you.
The 1280×1024 European sensor detects heat at up to 2,300 m – revealing birds in flight, animals at scrub edges, and wildlife on distant ridgelines long before they sense your presence. No light, no noise, no disturbance.
Less sweeping. More observing.
A 17.5° horizontal field (30.7 m at 100 m) lets you read an entire wetland edge or track a moving flock without constant panning. Birdwatchers, naturalists, and wildlife carers all benefit from a view wide enough to hold multiple subjects simultaneously.
Dusk to dawn. Hot-swap ready.
The dual battery system – a 4,000 mAh internal cell plus a hot-swappable B-Pack Mini – keeps the Ventex XT50 running for eight hours straight. Swap the external pack mid-session without powering off. USB-C Power Delivery charges fast enough to be ready for the next night out.
Every capability, purpose-built. Night after night.
