Product Overview
The Pulsar Axion Compact XQ19 is a compact thermal observation monocular designed for use across Australian environments where simple, reliable thermal detection is required at short distances. Its lightweight and pocket sized form makes it suitable for handheld scanning in bushland, scrub, and semi rural areas where visibility is limited by darkness, fog, or vegetation. The monocular design supports quick deployment and intuitive operation, allowing users to gain situational awareness without reliance on external light sources during outdoor activities.
The device uses a 384x288 pixel thermal sensor with a 17 micron (µm) pixel pitch, providing dependable thermal detection for close range observation. A base magnification of 1.5x with smooth digital zoom up to 6x supports flexible viewing in confined environments, while a wide field of view assists with scanning larger sections of terrain. With an AMOLED display and up to 8 hours of operating time, this model is best suited to entry level users, wildlife observers, and land managers in Australia seeking a simple and portable thermal monocular for regular outdoor use.

Compact Design with Serious Capability
Axion Compact monoculars feature a space saving design that fits comfortably in one hand and weighs under 300 grams. The lightweight construction supports prolonged handheld use, while the symmetrical arrangement of control buttons ensures intuitive operation for both left and right handed users. This balance of size and ergonomics makes the series suitable for regular use across a wide range of environments.
Reliable Thermal Imaging Performance
The series is equipped with European made thermal imaging sensors designed to provide clear and consistent imagery in varied conditions. Depending on the model, Axion Compact devices use either 640x480 sensors with 12 micron pixel pitch or 384x288 sensors with 17 micron pixel pitch. These sensor options deliver reliable thermal detection and stable image quality, including in low contrast scenes or challenging weather conditions.
Wide Field Viewing & Image Optimisation
A wide field of view simplifies scanning and allows users to observe larger areas more efficiently. Sensitivity amplification levels combined with advanced filtration algorithms help improve image clarity when conditions are difficult. Fine brightness and contrast adjustments, along with multiple colour palette options, allow the image to be optimised for specific tasks while helping reduce eye strain during extended observation.
Durable Construction & Smart Connectivity
Axion Compact monoculars are built with a rugged magnesium alloy housing that protects internal components from impacts, moisture, heat, and cold, while also aiding heat dissipation for consistent operation. Built in photo and video recording allows moments to be captured directly on the device, while internal memory supports extended recording. Wi-Fi connectivity with the Stream Vision 2 app enables wireless updates, live image transmission, remote control functions, and convenient sharing across compatible iOS and Android devices.
