PARD Bobcat 640 35mm Thermal Monocular with LRF

The PARD Bobcat 640 pairs a 640 × 512 thermal sensor rated at ≤18 mK with a 1920 × 1080 OLED display and a 1,000 m laser rangefinder, in a 170 {T} 70 {T} 43 mm body that weighs 405 g with its battery. Its 35 mm lens gives 2.6x and a 12.5° × 10° field, about 21.9 m across at 100 m, wide enough to sweep a field edge before zooming in, and the image, the distance and a compass heading share one screen.

Key Features

• 640 × 512 at ≤18 mK. An uncooled vanadium oxide (VOx) detector with 327,680 pixels at a 12 μm pitch and a 50 Hz frame rate. PARD calls it a new-generation sensor. NETD is the smallest temperature difference the sensor can detect, so a lower figure means a more sensitive device.
• 2.6x and a 12.5° field. The 35 mm objective gives 2.6x optical magnification and a 12.5° × 10° field, about 21.9 m by 17.6 m at 100 m, and it focuses from 3 m to infinity. The 2.6x base magnification is optical; the digital zoom steps of 2x, 4x, 6x and 8x enlarge the pixels at the center of the image, which makes the subject look bigger without adding detail. The Bobcat 480 uses a 480 × 360 sensor behind the same lens for 3.5x and a 9.4° × 7.1° field.
• A 1,000 m rangefinder and a compass. The laser rangefinder measures to 1,000 m, and a compass is built in.
• 1920 × 1080 OLED. ±5 diopter adjustment, six image modes (WT-HOT, BK-HOT, H-LIGHT, RD-HOT, IN-HOT and SKY) and picture-in-picture.
• Record and share. Photos and video at 1440 × 1080, with sound, save to a microSD card of up to 128 GB, with auto recording, loop recording and time stamps. Wi-Fi connects the monocular to the PardVision2 app.
• One 18650 battery. PARD rates a single 18650 lithium-ion battery for up to 6 hours, and USB-C supplies external power.
• AL6061 aluminum and composite housing around an all-glass, multi-coated objective lens.

Ideal For

• Scanning wide fields and timber edges, where the 12.5° field covers about 21.9 m at 100 m.
• Hunters who want identification and range in one hand, with the distance on the same screen as the thermal image.
• Recording a hunt or a night watch, with sound, auto recording and loop recording.
