The guys at outdoor legacy were more than helpful, saved me about $1000, annnnd walked me through the selection too the pt i felt comfortable with my choice. That being said, the pulsar telos xp50 really produces a quality picture for me that i am more than impressed with! I currently own an axion xg35 and thought it was awesome. Do not get me wrong the compacted size of that model was really nice but the image quality on the xp50 telos knockes the axion out of the playing field, and produces a better image quality in most all conditions especially moist conditions where the axion has a harder time with the image qaulity. I use the telos xp50 to look for lost dogs, check gates that need closed, locate ppl, check on my livestock, look for hotspots on vehicles or hay that has gotten wet and can catch on fire due to internal combustion, ect.... the list is long. The telos xp50 is my edc. Thank you too outdoor legacy and pulsar, it is appreciated!
