Thanks Keith - did you see Part 2, where we tested them all outside at 535m? th-cam.com/video/pkz7UTJ9oK0/w-d-xo.html I'm also working on PART3 now; comparing what they're able to detect at nearly a mile (subscribe to our channel if you don't want to miss it)! And do let us know if you'd like to see any other side-by-side comparisons with these Axions.
Absolutely - it's the same technology. All Pulsar thermals have a choice of 8 different colour palettes, including 'Rainbow' and 'Ultramarine' which are ideal for displaying the kind of small temperature differences you'd want to monitor for damp, a water leak, overheating electrics or heat loss. One thing to bear in mind is how close you can get to the object you want to monitor. These Axions have a minimal focal distance of 2-3m; which is fine if you're outside, or in reasonably sized room.
No reason. It was quite a complex production and I just missed it his time. Good spot! The good news is that it'll make very little difference at this range indoors. The sensor amplification feature is for overcoming tricky weather conditions at a decent range.
2.5x is the manufacturers data. There is some zoom on my digital SLR, so that's not a good 1x comparison. Also the different sized sensors / viewfinders on all 3 Axions make it difficult to judge. What is clear though is the XG allows you to digitally zoom and still have enough detail to ID animals at range.
The best review of these products bar none. I've waited months for this.thanks

Can these be used for home inspections like thermal lose and water leaks?

Why are the xm and xq on ultra and xg on normal ?
No reason. It was quite a complex production and I just missed it his time. Good spot!

Ok first issue xg is clearly not 2.5x
2.5x is the manufacturers data.

What is the distance from the camera to the target?
@@ggmen6340 17 metres, as he stated toward start of test.
