Pulsar’s Merger XP35 is the latest version of the renowned Merger thermal binocular line. It offers the same combination of thermal imaging technology with a the design of classic daytime binoculars, but features a wide array of upgrades. Perhaps the most notable improvement of the Merger XP35 is a European made 640x480 17 µm thermal sensor. This detector is capable of detecting the slightest temperature variations (NETD <25 mK) and can pick up heat signatures from an astounding 1350 yards away. The 640x480 sensor excels in adverse conditions, revealing the smallest temperature differences even is rain, fog, and areas with low temperature contrast. The increased detection range and sensitivity levels allows the operator to identify trophy characteristics, anatomy, behavioral traits, and other features of game from long range. The 640x480 sensor 17 µm thermal sensor’s advanced capabilities are further improved by the 3 levels of sensitivity amplification. This function combines innovative filtration algorithms with fine brightness/contrast adjustments provide far greater definition and clear rendering of objects in the background. Heat signatures detected by the Merger XP35 are projected onto a high-contrast HD AMOLED display, and are viewable in 8 different color palettes, allowing the user to select the best option for the given situation. An innovative feature of the Merger XP35’s display is a proximity sensor. This function deactivates the display when in standby to prevent the backlight of the eye pieces from spooking game, and immediately activates the display when the binoculars are brought to the user’s eyes.
Like its predecessor, the Merger LRF XP35 is outfitted with a wide array of other features. The use of dual eye pieces accommodates observation for longer periods of time with reduced eye strain, and ergonomic controls promotes intuitive operation. An integrated precision laser rangefinder provides accurate measurements over 1000 yards away, and continuous scanning modes with tremendous accuracy provide quick and error-free target distance assessment. The Merger also comes standard with built-in video and photo recording capabilities and 16 GB of free space on cloud storage.
