Pulsar Axion XM30F Hand Held Thermal Imager in More Detail
Highly portable design
Lightweight and pocket-sized, the Axion XM30F monocular features a 320x240, 12 µm thermal sensor that will provide a detection range of up to 1300m of a standard 1.8m tall object, and a quick-change APS3 rechargeable battery that offers up to 7 hours of battery life on a single charge.
Robust build quality with great ergonomics
The rugged magnesium alloy housing has been designed with constant, hard use in mind, meaning the Axion XM30F is both light and strong in equal measure. Reliably protecting the internal components from shocks, drops, cold, heat, and moisture, the magnesium housing will also act as a heat sink; removing the heat from the electronics, minimising noise, and increasing the operational consistency during long-term observation.
Built for virtually any conditions
The IPX7 waterproof rating provides protection from heavy rain and snow and is even submersible in 1m of water for up to 30 minutes. The frost-resistant, high-contrast AMOLED display uses improved colour rendering to provide a sharp and smooth image, even in adverse weather conditions.
Versatile colour palette
8 colour palettes are available to allow the user to observe their field of view more effectively, optimising the Axion XM30F for specific tasks, and reacting to changing conditions in the observation area. White Hot, Black Hot, and Red Hot are perfect for object detection; Rainbow and Ultramarine for recognition and identification; and Red Monochrome, Sepia, and Violet for night-time observation.
Integrated imaging capabilities
Integrated video and still image recording capabilities, as well as Stream Vision 2 connectivity, means you'll never miss out on all of those once-in-a-lifetime moments. Capture and store videos or photos on the Axion XM30F' s 16GB of internal storage, or share with friends via the cloud using the Stream Vision 2 App.
