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.
