Pulsar Axion XG35 Compact Thermal Imaging Monocular

Get more for less.

Enter the world of thermal vision with the Pulsar Axion thermal imaging monoculars. Pulsar's most compact and affordable devices are perfect for those hunters who wish to explore the possibilities of thermal vision without breaking the bank.

The Pulsar Axion XG30 Compact is a great tool for close-range observation in areas with thick vegetation. Fitting in one hand and light to carry, they still offer high thermal sensitivity and other premium features, including Wi-Fi connectivity and our latest image processing algorithms.

Features

European made thermal imaging sensors

• Axion Compact Series is ideal for scanning and game finding. Quality European made sensors ensure excellent image in all conditions. An 640×480/12 micron sensor provides enough detail for hot object identification.

Pocket-sized dimensions and light weight

• Axion monoculars have a space-saving and pocket-sized design and weights less than 300 grams, which makes them the best thermal imaging monoculars for those who look for a truly compact option, both in hunting and tourism. The device is easy to grip and operate by right-handed and left-handed people due to the symmetrical arrangement of buttons on the upper panel.

Wide field of view for easy scanning

• Axion Compact monoculars have wide field of view which simplifies scanning and searching for hot objects. Wide field of view allows the observer to quickly spot all hot objects and focus on the most interesting ones, while simultaneously keeping all scene in view.

Photo and video recording

• The Built-in video recorder is a great asset when it comes to filming or taking photos of once-in-a-lifetime experiences. One press of the REC button captures footage that can be shared easily with colleagues, friends and family. Internal memory of the unit ensures many hours of recorded video and tons of photos.

Rugged magnesium alloy housing

• Axion is designed for constant, often hard use. A magnesium alloy housing is light and strong at the same time. The housing reliably protects the internal components of a thermal imaging device from shocks, drops, moisture, heat or cold. At the same time, metal housing effectively removes the heat from electronics, minimizes image noise and increases consistency of the device operation during long-term observation.

Sensitivity amplification levels

• 3 amplification levels combined with new filtration algorithms and fine brightness and contrast adjustments, increase the hunter’s chances for early detection of the animals under heavy weather and high humidity conditions. These settings provide optimized rendering of the target and background objects in the observation scene.

A selection of 8 color palettes

• A choice of 8 colour palettes lets the user observe their field of view more effectively, allowing them to optimise the unit for specific tasks as well as react to changing observation conditions. White Hot, Black Hot and Red Hot are optimal for object detection, Rainbow and Ultramarine help increase chances for recognition & identification. Red Monochrome, Sepia and Violet are most suitable for long observation in the night.

Stream Vision 2 app support for iOS and Android

• The built-in Wi-Fi module connects the device with either Android or iOS smartphones using the Stream Vision 2 mobile application. This combination opens up a wide range of options: wireless device software updates, real-time image transmission to the mobile device screen, remote control digital functions and much more. Users registered in the application are provided with cloud storage space for photos and videos taken with the device.

Wide open spaces and high winds can't hold back the ultra-loud single reed Big Water call.

This call is ideal for lakes, rivers, and flooded agriculture fields when you need to pull ducks from long distances. Each Big Water call is tuned one at a time with a hand-sanded toneboard and custom-trimmed reed.

Features:

• All weather durable

• Polycarbonate construction

• Extra loud for open water hunting over double reed

• Hand-tuned and tested

• Hand-sanded toneboard

• Colour: Clear

From Buck Gardner website: Buck Gardner stand behind Buck Gardner's products 100% and all of Buck Gardner's calls are backed by Buck Gardner's Lifetime Warranty. This guarantee covers defects in materials, quality, and workmanship for as long as you own the call.Buck Gardner will repair or replace the call or its components at Buck Gardner's discretion and get your call back in the field as fast as possible

Polycarbonate is essentially bulletproof plastic, similar to Plexiglas®. Its dense composition gives it excellent acoustic qualities with a softer sound than the Acrylic, it is highly durable so very unlikely to crack when dropped, and it is affordable for both manufacturers and hunters.

Single reed calls offer a broader range of volume and tone, but they typically require better air control and correct tongue pressure on the part of the caller. Simply put, a single reed call is more versatile but requires solid mechanics. Single reed calls can normally get louder than double reed calls can.

In a nut shell:

• Louder

• More tonal range

• Better for more experienced callers

Pro Tip:

Duck hunters benefit from using both single and double reed calls. Different hen mallards have different tones, so being able to vary the sound of your calling will play to your advantage – especially on pressured ducks.

Countless hunters swear by the realism and easy operation of a Cajun-style double reed duck call. The Mallard Magic is one of the best designs available, thanks to the virtually indestructible polycarbonate construction, premium gunmetal band, and wide range of color options. Most importantly, the Quick-Tune guts are easy to take apart, clean, and re-assemble in the field and they just plain sound like a mallard hen. Like all Buck Gardner Calls, the Mallard Magic is hand-tuned and tested, and backed by a lifetime warranty.

Features:

• Cajun-style double reed
• Quick-Tune guts for complete reliability
• Nearly indestructible polycarbonate construction
• Hand-tuned and tested

Specifications:

• Fabric/Material: Polycarbonate
• Species: Duck
• Call Type: Reed

Buck Gardner Duck Call ‘Tall Timber’ Single Reed, Poly, Blued/Fluorescent-Green

Single Reed Acrylic Duck Call

Features:

• Wide tonal range over double reed

• Realistic sound

• Full volume range for loud, ringing hail calls

• Aggressive feed chatter

• Smooth low-end for finishing ducks.

A single reed polycarbonate call that was born in flooded green timber. The Tall Timber is made for barky hail calls and aggressive feeding chatter to grab their attention and coax ducks down through the trees.

To ensure quality and performance, Buck Gardner build, tune, and test each call one at a time by hand at their shop in Memphis, TN.

Acrylic calls offer consistent density with excellent acoustic qualities. The harder surface composition gives the call a sharper resonating sound. The material comes in a variety colours and can easily be polished, making for very beautiful calls. Acrylic material is more expensive for manufacturers and requires precise machining processes, so it also makes for a more expensive finished product.

Pro Tip:

The Spit-Tech technology is exclusive to BG calls. It enables the call to blow when wet from spit, condensation, and even accidental dips in the water. This technology is achieved through skillful hand tuning, custom fitting, and the testing of each call.
