This is a video comparing a similar scenario showing the video captured from a Pulsar Trail XQ38 and a Flir PTS536.
I talk a lot about Field Of View and Base Mag. I think it will be evident in the following video. I have some rabbits that are very rough on our garden and landscaping, so each year in the spring, I thin the population. I realize it isn't the same day or same humidity. However, the video was taken in the same area and during a similar time of year. I have always said, I felt the base image is a little better on the Trail XQ series, but the detail of the animal is typically better on the Flir. This video illustrates this. Of course, the glaring difference is 2.1x base mag on the Pulsar compared to 4x on the Flir. Also, I would say, the Pulsar shots were 30-40 yards and the Flir shots were 20-30 yards.
A better comparison would be the Trail XQ50 vs the Flir PTS536, but I haven't owned the XQ50. I was reviewing footage from 2017-2018 and 2018-2019 and saw these, and found it interesting.
