Thermal Imager Pulsar Quantum HD19s

Pulsar Quantum HD19s Thermal Imager


Attachment 32052

Howdy fellow shooters!

I've just finished producing a video for our Pulsar Quantum HD19s

https://vimeo.com/114231774


We've sold over 100 Quantums this year and I get heaps of phone calls from excited hunters telling me how it's improved their hunting.

I use the Quantum HD19s for 80% of my hunting because it is so easy to walk in the dark whilst looking through it, and animals appear like magic!

I also recently helped eradicate pigs on Farewell Spit by spotting them hiding in dense, chest-high scrub, then directing the helicopter pilot to flush them onto open ground in order to shoot. See this video:

• 384 x 288 a-Si UFPA
• 19mm germanium lens
• 30Hz refresh rate (we can also supply 9Hz for traveling to countries where high performance thermal imagers are illegal)
• Detection range, according to my own tests: Human over 700m, cattle/stags over 1100 m
• Uses 4x AA batteries, and supplied with 2x battery holders for rapid replacement, and has an external 12v power socket

More specs here:

Pulsar Quantum HD Thermal Imagers.


At $4699 they are easily the best value thermal imager on the market, GUARANTEED! This includes GST, freight, and a Pulsar EPS3 external power pack.

I test each unit before dispatch, and we service the 3 year factory warranty. If a unit fails, we normally replace it out of our own stock.

As the exclusive New Zealand distributor, we have access to all the latest products, spares and the repair facility in Scotland.

I also offer technical support, and advice based on experience, because I'm out using these thermals regularly.

Having used this Model a bit I can say they are far superior to any night vision for detecting game, especially big game in low scrub.

Day or night where you can look into a face from another ridge you will see animals you would never see with a spotlight or binos.

I'm looking forward to getting my mitts on the Pulsar Apex XD thermal rifle scope in January. We've had a few hold-ups with EU export licenses.

Where is your blurb on the 38? That was my favourite.

It's on my to do list. Our dealers have been asking the same question :x_x: I've got loads of cool footage, just need to sit down and spend a couples of days producing.

But I do have these wee vids in the meatime:

I've just bought a boat :):):)

I mean the wife and I have just invested in a boat for the business ;) I'm picking it up from Kaikoura in the morning. I've just finished fitting a trailer light socket to my truck, with lots of looking for things, swearing and cursing, but all good now. :thumbsup:

I will make some room in the fridge for the Crays [emoji6] [emoji106] [emoji106]
I have couple of vids with the 38 I will stick up tonight.

It was a lot of fun. The scrub is chest high and the pigs feel safe hiding in it. They stand out like dogs balls with my Pulsar thermal though. I should put the press release up on the forum about the pig eradication program on the Spit.

I'm reading and replying to these posts in reverse order. I must be having a northern hemisphere moment :pacman:

I'll need to get a craypot 'cause diving gives me the willies. :(

I like my HD19, but the 38 looks to be far better by the looks of the vids

Better for detections at range (in my limited experience)

Any of the pulsar apex scopes in stock?

First shipment arrived today. We were expecting 12 this month, but only received 3, due to 'heavy worldwide demand' :omg:

I'm taking the Apex XD38 and XD50 out in the morning to do some comparative video, then will be holding on to a XD38 for few days, so I can 'evaluate' it against the already heavily depleted Waimea rabbit population, courtesy of a very patient and understanding customer.

If you are keen on one, there is a bit of a wait (understatement), but, now that they are in production, we expect good numbers within a couple of months. Ours are made in UK, though the Lithuanian factory has been producing since beginning of December.

They are a lot smaller than I was expecting, and have an extremely crisp image thanks to the high definition 50Hz refresh rate, and A-Si UFPA.

Watch this space....... :thumbsup:

The HD19s is still my first choice for night hunting. I like to walk along whilst looking through it. Great field of view, and smooth because of the 30Hz definition. It's 1x magnification makes avoiding trip hazards easy, and animals appear as if by magic! Im quite a fan of the HD19s.

I was talking to one of our customers who had been speaking with a Flir dealer (wouldn't tell me who, but I suspect GC), who describe their TS32 as the equivalent of our HD19s. They must be dreaming, because when we compared them side by side, the HD19s pissed all over the TS32.

Used the XD38 on the weekend, pretty awesome bit of kit, great for scanning flattish swampy/bull rush paddocks. Picked of 3 pigs and a deer that we wouldnt of got without the thermal. Very hard to judge distance tho especially at night, ended up walking to about 20m of the pigs... They were a bit smaller than expected once on the ground :thumbsup:

Its also interesting what you see from the main road going through Arthurs pass over to the coast....

I'm glad you are having some fun with your new Pulsar thermal.

Were you spotting them in daylight or at night?

Bit of both, not my kit was a mates but send me a message if you have any demo units for sale or 2nd hand. Can't afford new at the moment

I may be keen on a set. Let me know when you have some in.
Had a squizz thru the ones Cam had. Once I wiped off all the fish scales and BBQ grease, they worked and looked good :thumbsup:
