Hold up... wait a minute!

How did you get the Pulsar to zoom in to 4x ? I thought they maxed out at 2x digital zoom?

Cool video once again cheers

Nope, the APEX XD50A has a 4X zoom. Maybe the S model only goes to 2X?

Yeah it was a hands free calling type situation knowing that he could jump up at any second.

Dunno I got a pre-production model so maybe the retail versions are 4x, I'll ask.

Triple shooters on 1 pig is a rare vid treat, didn't sound like all were shooting 5.56 either....

Great video. It looked liked the pig had all four hoofs off the ground at one point.

Great video.

A side question if you don't mind. Will you be able to spot snakes while walking and stalking? Wearing a night vision goggle?

Good ear. The APEX was on a 300 BLK, Thor was on a bushmaster 223, and the MK II was on a SCAR .308.

Did you ever confirm the zoom on the Apex 50A? You said your's was a pre-production model...

The 50A in this video is not pre-production. In fact this is the same unit that's in the rental program. The XD38 unit with PIP was pre-production, but that was only available for a few days to demo and some of the videos on your YouTube are from that XD38 unit. The Apex XD50A definitely has 4X digital zoom. I can't tell you for sure is the 50S models will have 4X digital because there have been 0 production models delivered. A good guess would be that they have 4X digital zoom, but that's just a guess. It's confusing and I wish I had more concise and accurate info to share, but we are really just guessing until I have one in my hands.
