Exceptional HD Thermal Imaging

At the heart of the Avilume XT50 Pro is a premium 1280 × 1024 thermal sensor with a 12 µm pixel pitch, delivering outstanding image detail and the ability to reveal subtle temperature differences across the landscape.

Whether you’re scanning a woodland edge for deer, searching open fields for mammals or monitoring wildlife after dark, the thermal channel helps locate animals that would otherwise be difficult to distinguish from their surroundings.

With a system NETD of less than 20 mK, the XT50 Pro is designed to maintain excellent thermal sensitivity even when temperature differences are minimal. This is particularly beneficial in mist, light rain, high humidity and other conditions where thermal contrast can be reduced.

The fast 50 mm F1.0 objective lens provides efficient thermal performance, while the 50 Hz refresh rate delivers smooth imagery when following moving wildlife.

Thermal magnification ranges from 2× to 24×, allowing you to scan large areas at low magnification before zooming in for closer observation.

An Exceptionally Wide Field of View

One of the most impressive features of the Avilume XT50 Pro is its expansive 17.5° thermal field of view.

At a distance of 100 metres, the binoculars provide a viewing width of approximately 30.7 metres, making it possible to cover substantial areas of habitat in a single sweep.

Combined with the low 2× base magnification, this wider perspective is particularly useful when searching for wildlife across fields, woodland clearings, wetlands and other open environments.

It also makes tracking moving animals easier, as the broader image helps you maintain awareness of the surrounding landscape without constantly adjusting your position.

When a heat signature is detected, magnification can be increased for closer thermal observation, or the digital channel can be selected for a more detailed visual view.

4K Digital Day and Night Vision

Alongside its advanced thermal imaging system, the Avilume XT50 Pro features a dedicated 3840 × 2160 digital sensor capable of producing detailed 4K imagery.

During daylight, the digital channel delivers full-colour images, making it ideal for examining an animal’s appearance, markings and behaviour.

Colour viewing remains available through twilight and suitable low-light conditions, extending observation opportunities as natural light begins to fade.

After dark, the digital channel provides black-and-white night vision, supported by a built-in focusable infrared illuminator. This allows the binoculars to continue providing a digital image even when no usable ambient light is available.

With digital magnification ranging from 6.5× to 26×, the system is particularly effective for examining subjects that have already been located through thermal imaging.

A dedicated button allows quick switching between the thermal and digital channels.

Thermal and Digital Picture-in-Picture

The Avilume XT50 Pro’s Picture-in-Picture function brings both imaging technologies together, allowing thermal and digital imagery to be displayed simultaneously.

A smaller viewing window appears in the upper section of the display, while the selected primary channel occupies the main viewing area.

The two images can be swapped between the main display and secondary window, giving you the flexibility to prioritise either thermal detection or detailed digital observation.

This is especially useful when following wildlife through changing surroundings, as you can retain the benefits of thermal detection while examining the subject through the digital channel.

Integrated 1,500-Metre Laser Rangefinder

The built-in laser rangefinder adds another valuable dimension to wildlife observation, allowing distances to be measured without carrying additional equipment.

Operating at a wavelength of 905 nm, the rangefinder measures distances of up to 1,500 metres with a stated accuracy of ±1 metre.

For ecologists, conservationists and wildlife surveyors, accurate distance information can be useful when documenting sightings, monitoring animal movements or recording observations across larger habitats.

Electronic Image Stabilisation

High magnification can make even small handheld movements more noticeable, particularly when observing distant or moving subjects.

The Avilume XT50 Pro incorporates electronic image stabilisation to compensate for unwanted movement and reduce visible image shake.

This helps provide a steadier, more comfortable viewing experience when following wildlife or examining fine detail at higher magnifications.

For extended stationary observation, the binoculars can also be mounted on a tripod.

Nine Thermal Colour Palettes and Adjustable Sensitivity

Different environments and observation conditions benefit from different thermal display settings.

The Avilume XT50 Pro offers nine thermal colour palettes, allowing the appearance of the thermal image to be adjusted according to the subject, surroundings and personal preference.

Three sensitivity settings — Normal, High and Ultra — provide further control over thermal image performance.

These options allow users to adapt the viewing experience to changing environmental conditions, whether scanning open countryside, observing wildlife amongst vegetation or working in challenging weather.

Comfortable Binocular Design and Intuitive Controls

The Avilume XT50 Pro combines advanced imaging technology with the familiar handling characteristics of traditional binoculars.

Dedicated focusing controls and a conveniently positioned control wheel provide straightforward access to magnification adjustments, menu navigation and frequently used functions.

The redesigned control arrangement supports one-handed operation, making it easier to adjust settings while maintaining a comfortable viewing position.

The high-resolution 1920 × 1080 AMOLED display produces a clear, detailed image, while the adjustable dioptre settings allow the eyepieces to be tailored to individual eyesight.

Protective rubber eyecup covers help prevent dust and debris from reaching the eyepieces during storage and transport.
