An excellent professional review. I got one a few weeks ago after using several top end HiK units for a year or so and it’s chalk and cheese. I’m out day and night and completely endorse your findings nothing else at this money comes close. As mentioned a few weeks ago, I too bought the same Thermion scope after selling my XM50 and returned it the next day replaced with another XM50 by reason that at nearly 80 I just found the base Mag of 2x compared to the 5.5x I was used to unacceptable for my eyes and digital increase I felt degraded when trying to shoot at distances invariably greater than 200yds, ideally I would like the XG50 but it’s not offered in U.K. Hope you’ve got more videos coming to regale us

Yeah I'm of the same opinion on the base mag. I still love my Thermion 2 XP50 but I shoot a few feral pigs in close. Would love a 2.5 - 3x base mag image on that level. IMO the Thermion 2 XP50 is a better image than the XG50. Just not the same mag. Thanks for the comment mate 👍

This is a pretty nice piece of kit. I paid 1500 for a camera that has an awesome zoom but has no thermal capability. This thing would be a photographer's best mate. You could scope things of interest on dark nights and then do a long exposure with your camera. Much like hunting but without the bang. I'd spend 3 or 4 grand on something like this.

Nice looking piece of kit. Unfortunately WAY outta my price range. I’m running the Vector Wolfcub ( 1st gen night vision) and a Wraith HD here in Tassie. Got them both in July. Primarily using them for bunnies on the farm so far, but I’m ready for the next deer season. The vector was around $400 and the Wraith around $1200, but the new model Wraith in 4K looks pretty sweet (they ALWAYS bring out a new model just after I’ve forked out for one 😝).

Awesome job on the review mate. Would love to get one. Maybe down the track. I have a helion XQ38F and its been great until i got a scope with the 640 sensor then it makes the scanner image look terrible lol but still works well.

Great review, Nathan. I've been looking at the Pulsar Heliuon 2 XP50 Pro and it's about $600+ USD more than the XP50. Is there really that much difference to warrant that much of an increase in cost?

I always try to buy the current model with thermal. The original XP50 will be still amazing. But the F1.0 50mm lens and 25mk sensor do very much help. I have a friend who replaced his XP50 with the newer Helion 2 XP50 Pro and he said there is a decent gain. Personally I haven't side by sided the two. The recordings are unedited clips from the scanner 👌 It does a very nice job indeed.

The combination is a winner for me but if I was sending files to KZread then a better scanner would be the go.

Nice Reveiw there Nathan, Have you had the opportunity to sit it next to a XQ50F? I get the difference between the 2.5 x mag compared to 4.5 with the rest, but just wondering how much better is the XP's difference when zoomed once to 5x? Or does it have smaller zooms, not doubling each zoom.
