  • Testing best in class Pulsar Helion 2 XP50 Pro against the smaller and lighter Pulsar Axion 2 XG35 both with 640 thermal chip units agains each other was a must to do. The Axion has the vs. 2 firmware installed. The Axion has the smoothing filter off in the beginning and on in the end. You can always finetune these devices to get the best image out of them, but I believe this is af fair comparison. The XP chip has more detail and is overall stronger chip, while it needs bigger housing. The XG does a very good job considering the unit size. Though the specs look similar in some ways, the mk is very different. 25 vs 40. This has alot to do with the detail. The Helion 17 µm vs 12 µm in the Axion also makes a big difference. The conditions where light rain, and the red deer where wet.

    Thanks for the vid, currently deciding between both scanners for hunting but leaning more towards the axion due to its mobility and range finder. Which would you recommend?

    How is zoom comparison? Does XG have slight advantages in that category?

    • @jonrunargudjons
      @jonrunargudjons  Рік тому +1

      I havent really worked that much with the zoom on the Helion. But it feels like with the Axion new firmware there is more software enhancments that give a smoother zoom. A good question to make test on 👍

    The Helion looks a sharper picture to me.

    • @jonrunargudjons
      @jonrunargudjons  Рік тому +1

      It is sharper. Bigger lens, bigger processor, lower mK. 50 lens vs 35. Xp vs Xg. 25mK vs 40mk

    Which one would be better for hiking at night?

    • @jonrunargudjons
      @jonrunargudjons  Рік тому +2

      The Axion is much smaller in formfactor. For hiking I would almost always choose the Axion over Helion. For human search I would choose the Helion given its bigger lens and sharper overall image
