Overview
The Pulsar Symbion LRF DXR50 shares the Symbion's multispectral layout, a thermal channel and a 4K digital channel in one binocular housing, but swaps the flagship's 1280x1024 core for a 640x480, 12-micron sensor with system NETD below 18 mK. The same 50mm F1.0 lens gives it an 8.8-degree field of view (15.4 m at 100 m) and 4-32x thermal magnification, trading scan width for reach on small or distant heat signatures.
The digital channel is identical to the DXT50: a 4K (3840x2160) CMOS sensor behind a 50mm F1.8 lens at 6.5-26x, full color in daylight and IR night viewing with a focusable 850 nm illuminator. Combined picture-in-picture modes show both channels at once, the 905 nm rangefinder measures to 1500 m at plus or minus 1 m, and electronic image stabilization steadies high magnification. The lower-resolution core draws less power, so two external APS5 packs run the DXR50 for up to 10 hours. The IP67 magnesium housing weighs 1 kg with batteries and adjusts for interpupillary distances of 62.5-74 mm.
Key Features
- 640x480 12-micron thermal sensor with system NETD <18 mK, 50 Hz, behind a 50mm F1.0 lens
- 4K (3840x2160) CMOS digital channel behind a 50mm F1.8 lens for color day and IR night viewing
- Thermal 4-32x with an 8.8-degree field of view; digital 6.5-26x
- Focusable 850 nm IR illuminator with three power levels
- 905 nm laser rangefinder to 1500 m with ballistic calculator and true horizontal distance
- Combined thermal and digital picture-in-picture modes and electronic image stabilization
- Two external APS5 batteries, up to 10 hours; 64 GB recording; IP67 magnesium alloy housing at 1 kg
Pros
- +Same 4K color and IR digital channel as the flagship DXT50
- +Up to 10 hours runtime, longest in the Symbion line
- +4-32x thermal reach for small, distant targets
- +Lower system NETD (<18 mK) than the DXT50
Cons
- −640x480 thermal core has a quarter of the DXT50's pixels
- −8.8-degree thermal view is narrow for scanning open ground
- −1 kg is heavy for a handheld compared with a thermal monocular
