Pulsar Proton FXQ30 Night Vision Attachment vs Pulsar Krypton 2 FXG50

The Krypton 2 FXG50 is the stronger attachment: it sees heat, detects out to roughly 2,300 m, and runs about 11 hours on a battery. The Proton FXQ30 is digital night vision, so it needs infrared light to see and works best at short range. Buy the Krypton 2 for open-field hunting and long watches; buy the Proton if you already own a day scope and want a lighter, simpler clip-on for close work. Owners of both praise Pulsar's build, but the Krypton's higher-resolution sensor and display are the clear step up.

• Choose the Proton FXQ30 if you hunt at close range, want a light front attachment for an existing day scope, and don't need thermal imaging.
• Choose the Krypton 2 FXG50 if you need to spot game in total darkness at long range and want a thermal clip-on with Wi-Fi and a sharper display.
