We are thrilled announced that PARD, a premier manufacturer of night vision scopes and thermal imaging equipment, have participated in the IWA Outdoor Classics 2024, which  held from February 29th to March 3rd in Nuremberg, Germany! We invited hunters and outdoor enthusiasts to visit us at our booth located in Hall 4A, Stand 310, where you can experience firsthand our exceptional range of products, including the Night Vision Scope with Rangefinder series, Thermal Imaging Scopes featuring la ser Rangefinder options, Thermal Monocular, and versatile multi-spectral imaging solutions. At this year’s IWA 2024, the Pard Predator 640 Thermal Imaging Clip-on was particularly interesting. Let’s got detailed information about the device directly from PARD’s staff.

Pard Predator 640 Technical Specifications

The Predator is a brand-new thermal imaging clip-on system from PARD. In the field of thermal clip-ons, we have already introduced the FT series less than a year ago, which was very well received by users. With the introduction of the Predator, we are enhancing and updating the concept of their thermal devices. The new Predator features a 640×480 resolution sensor, which is an improvement over the FT series that had a 384×288 sensor. What immediately stood out upon first handling the product was its compact size and simplified controls.

The device comes with just two operation buttons on the top of the housing, conveniently placed for easy reach. One button serves as the standard on/off switch, while the other functions like a joystick, controlling all other features. From our observations and testing on site, we found the operation to be very easy, user-friendly, and quick to become accustomed to.

The clip-on also features a larger lens, now 45 mm in diameter compared to the FT’s 35 mm one. Directly above the lens, on the front top end of the device’s body, is a laser rangefinder, which is notably compact and small. At first, it’s quite surprising to see how everything fits into this form factor, with the whole device weighing just slightly over 300 g. The Predator is powered by a removable, rechargeable battery that provides approximately 4 hours of operating time, which we find to be a reasonable estimate given the device’s size. The attachment has undergone rigorous recoil testing, and according to PARD’s official specifications, it is designed to withstand recoil from calibers producing energy of up to 6000 Joules.

The company initially introduced only the top-tier model with a 640 resolution sensor. However, shortly, they plan to release a model with a lower sensor resolution of 480×360 pixels as well. The new sensor, developed by PARD, is expected to significantly impact the thermal optics world, acting as a replacement for the standard 380 sensors found in many devices. In essence, PARD is enhancing the term ‘affordable.’
