All four new Pulsar Telos products are equipped with the latest in 1024 x 768 pixel AMOLED displays, with a built feature set that allows the user to take pictures and record video footage in 1024 x 768 resolution and full sound. Setting a new standard in connectivity, all Telos models are Stream Vision 2 compatible, enabling users to conveniently stream content remotely on their mobile devices. Externally all four new units count on an IPX7 waterproof rating and a robust power bank that’s fueled with a USB-C compatible battery with a 8.5 hour runtime.

From a practical application standpoint, XQ 35 and XQ 50 models are designed for long-range hunting and shooting enthusiasts.
