- It's always crucial to get a good sense
of where you're hunting.
One of the best ways to do that is to scan it
with a pair of binoculars.
So having a pair of binoculars, independent
of a riflescope is always a good thing.
You know, you can scan an area without necessarily having
your rifle in hand.
It's a much more intuitive process.
It's a lot lighter weight with a rifle, you wanna be able
to scan things without, you know,
violating any safety rules.
Having a pair of binoculars
with night vision equipped gives you the ability
to scan areas in the same way
that you wouldn't do so in the day.
Night vision works by amplifying any
and all available ambient light.
What that means is it's gonna amplify light from the moon
or the stars.
And so what that does is you're able to see objects at night
that you wouldn't otherwise be able to see
with the naked eye or with the, with the scope pair that,
with the onboard ir illumination
to further illuminate your field of view
and extend your nighttime detection range.
While in digital night vision mode for a deadly combination
Thermal imaging devices, you know, they,
they detect heat signatures
and so they do a really great job
of detecting targets from farther away than
necessarily night vision.
You can see targets more quickly and from farther,
and then when they get close, you could switch
to a night vision device.
So having a, an optic
or binocular that, that gives you both digital night vision
and thermal capabilities allows you to kind
of have the best of both worlds.
You can scan and detect targets from farther
away with thermal.
You know, it does, it does a great job
of picking up heat signatures
and there are limitations with night vision.
You know, sometimes if, if there's a, it's a cloudy night,
you may not have all the ambient light from the moon
and the stars, so maybe you need thermal.
With thermal you can see through obstacles like foliage,
grass and things like that.
Plus you don't always need perfect, you know,
nighttime conditions, you know, it can see
through fog and smoke.
And also, you know, anytime it's cloudy, you know,
you don't have to worry about ambient light.
So not very many manufacturers do offer binoculars
that have the capabilities to do both thermal
and digital night vision.
But Pulsar does with its new merger duo NXP 50 binoculars.
With the thermal imaging,
you actually get a magnification range of three to 24 x
and with the digital night vision you get a magnification
range of two x to 16 x.
These particular binoculars use a dual battery system
that has an internal battery that you can charge.
And it also has removable a PS three lithium ion
rechargeable battery pack.
So you can take that out.
It, it comes with a charger, you charge it
and that once charged,
that battery will operate for seven hours.
So I've talked about the fact
that this binocular has both digital night vision
and thermal imaging capabilities.
But one of the really cool things about this
as well is it also has a picture and picture mode.
So you can have both the thermal imaging
and digital night vision going at once
and you can select which one
pops up in a picture and picture window.
It's a smaller window,
but it just offers you both those perspectives
simultaneously, which can help you when you're hunting.
Obviously these binoculars are gonna be fantastic
for any kind of nighttime hunting activity
or scouting, whether you're trying
to see which areas hogs are using
or whether you're actually on a predator hunt at night.
These binoculars are gonna be invaluable
'cause you have that long detection
range and quick detection.
With the thermal, you can see things coming from a long way
off, whether they're, you know, 1500 yards out there,
whether they're, you know, crossing through thick foliage,
you know you're gonna be able to see 'em.
They can't hide from the thermal.
And then when they do get a little bit closer,
you're gonna be able to use
that digital night vision technology
to actually look at the animal, identify your target,
make sure you've got the right species,
and even differentiate between two different animals,
which is just a lot of capability to have in one binocular.
And it's just perfect for those types of homes.
