Nocpix LUMI L35R vs Pulsar Axion 2 XQ35 Pro

The LUMI L35R runs a 384×288 core at 12 µm behind a 35 mm lens; the Axion 2 XQ35 Pro runs 384×288 at 17 µm behind 35 mm. On the Johnson yardstick they detect a person at 729 m and 515 m and recognize one at 182 m and 129 m; the boxes say 1,600 m and 1,300 m. The Axion 2 XQ35 Pro is lighter by 0.2 oz. Approximate prices are ~$2,200 and ~$1,500.

Estimated from pixel pitch and lens focal length using the Johnson criteria (2, 8 and 13 pixels across a 0.5 m human critical dimension), clear air, 50 % probability. A model of the optics, not a measurement — real range depends on temperature contrast, humidity and the animal.
