Il Pulsar Telos LRF XP50, distributed in Italy by Adinolfi of Monza, is one of those tools that don't just renew a range: they set a new standard. 640×480 sensor, 17 μm pixel pitch, extremely high thermal sensitivity, laser rangefinder up to 1.000 meters, a modular and upgradeable platform over time: features that on paper place it among the most technical products in the sector, but which in the field take on an even more concrete value, especially for those who regularly operate in difficult night-time conditions.
In our test We have used it in different contexts: wild boar stalking, roe deer selection in the hills, damage control in the plains, wildlife observation on mixed terrain. In all cases, The Telos LRF XP50 demonstrated a consistency of performance rarely encountered in thermal monoculars: clean image, convincing moisture management, stable separation between background and subject, useful viewing even in fog or wet vegetation. 
The picture that emerges is that of a thermal monocular designed for intensive use, not for occasional use. The robust construction, the battery with good real-world autonomy, the presence of the rangefinder and the "platform" philosophy - more than a simple product - place it in the range of tools you work with seriously, season after season.
Image rendering: when sensitivity becomes substance
La image quality This is the aspect that is most striking from the first minutes of use. The Telos XP50 manages to maintain surprising stability even in weather conditions that normally put many thermals in crisis: low fog, air saturated with humidity, fine rain, wet vegetation. It is precisely in those situations that the sensitivity of the sensor, a particularly clean 640×480 and combined with a very low NETD, It allows you to distinguish details that remain indistinct with other toolsMinimal temperature differences on the animals' fur are visible, the silhouettes remain sharp even at medium magnifications, and movement, especially posture, appears clear and legible. Even subjects moving at the edges of the field of vision—hares, foxes, roe deer moving sideways—emerge coherently, without blending into the background. The result is not a "beautiful image" for its own sake, but a useful, immediate, reliable vision, designed for those who truly need to interpret what they see. 
Ergonomics and construction: a tool born to work
From the first contact you understand that the Telos XP50 It's not designed to please those seeking extreme compactness, but to offer solidity. The reinforced polymer body with rubber coating gives it a professional feel, while the IPX7 certification eliminates any worries in persistent rain or high humidity. The ergonomics are well thought outThe controls are easily reached even when wearing winter gloves, and the grip allows for firm, continuous control. The monocular is truly ambidextrous, thanks to the ability to reverse the strap and adjust the eyecup.
The most distinctive feature, however, remains the system of the two rings on the lensOne is dedicated to focusing, the other to continuous zoom. This solution, reminiscent of the fluidity of a photographic lens, allows you to work without interruptions, clicks, or abrupt transitions. You quickly get used to it, and once you do, the classic "+/-" buttons seem like a relic of the past: less intuitive, less fluid, less natural. 
Laser Rangefinder: Really Measure, Don't Guess
One of the key points of the Telos XP50 is the integrated laser rangefinder, capable of measuring the distance up to 1.000 metersDuring nighttime tests in agricultural environments, we learned how deceiving the eye can be: what appears to be 130 meters away is often 180 meters away, and what seems close turns out to be farther away. A simple touch provides the actual distance, allowing for a more confident assessment of any situation. This is an objective advantage for both the range controller and those operating on damage control missions, where distance accuracy directly impacts safety and operational decisions. The reading is rapid and doesn't disrupt observation; in fact, it complements it. 
Registration and connectivity: an archive at the service of the field
The Telos has 64GB of internal memory, enough to record long video sessions without having to worry about space. integrated Wi-Fi connection allows you to connect it to theStream Vision 2 app, which allows you to view the scene live on your phone, download footage, update firmware, or manage settings. While not essential for pure hunting, this feature is highly appreciated by those working in groups or documenting their operations, such as game wardens and wildlife technicians. 
Real autonomy: a battery that allows you to work peacefully
La 6.400 mAh LPS 7i battery It offers enough battery life to handle an entire evening of surveillance or an extended stakeout. Even when alternating between continuous observation, short breaks, and standby, we never needed to recharge in between. The presence of the USB-C port with Power Delivery support and the option of wireless charging make power management modern and practical, especially for those who now regularly use power banks. 
In the field: a versatility that follows the hunter
The situations faced during the test were numerous and varied, and all contributed to better delineate the character of the Telos XP50. In the woods, the wide field of vision It allows tracking of movements and lateral entrances, often crucial elements in nighttime outings. In cultivated areas, especially in the presence of humidity or low vegetation, Thermal sensitivity helps to immediately distinguish moving animals Even when the outline is only partial. On hills, where observation distances can vary greatly, the combination of continuous zoom and rangefinder allows you to correctly assess what's happening, following the scene naturally.
It is a tool that does not limit itself to "showing", but accompanies the hunter in the most frequent conditions of our territory: mixed terrain, variable distances, and not always favorable weather conditions. 
Who is the Telos LRF XP50 really aimed at?
The profile of the ideal user emerges clearly. The Telos XP50 is perfect for those who are selecting and requires a precise reading of the animal's posture and behavior. It's extremely useful for those working in damage control, where the combination of rangefinder and stable image becomes a safety feature. It is aimed at technicians and game wardens who need to document what they observe and for nature observation enthusiasts who want a high and constant level of detailLess suitable, however, for those looking for a “simple”, compact thermal blanket designed for occasional use. 
Which Telos to choose?
Within the Telos rangeThe XP50 model represents the most balanced choice. It is the monocular that best combines thermal sensitivity, image stability, wide field of view, and rangefinding accuracy, making it the ideal solution for those who practice selection, damage control, and intensive observation in variable terrain such as woods, plains, and hills.
The Telos XL50, on the other hand, is aimed at a more specialized audienceThanks to its high-resolution sensor, it offers a concrete advantage when working at high magnifications or over medium-long distances, especially in very open terrain. It generally requires more favorable weather conditions to express its full potential, but when these occur it returns a superior level of detail. particularly appreciated by those who carry out long-distance monitoring or targeted technical work.

The other Pulsar models remain valid for those looking for a first approach to the world of thermals or have a more limited budget, but they cannot compete with the sensitivity, precision and completeness of the Telos platform, which remains a reference in the professional segment.
