Best / Value/ Add on NV

[markh29lpool]

Hi all

Apologies if been asked already.

I have a Sytong HT-60 and wondered what the best in terms of performance, picture, batterylife add on for NV?

I have in the past had the Megaorei 3 which was quite bulky and agricultural, I had a Base NV which was a bit better (the one that was the better version) but overall I didn't really think either were great.....did a job I suppose but battery life and picture were not great

Cheers

Arguably the Pard NV007 range is the most popular.
It has been around longer than most and has evolved from the original model with a suffix A, V and S version being introduced. Screen upgrades and a chassis redesign shortening the unit to allow normal head position to be maintained were included. The red dot laser was discontinued to comply with UK regulations.
There are also 12mm and 16mm focal length versions of most of the models to choose from: 12mm for close targets and 16mm for those more distant. A video recording capability is also included.
There is a distributor and a chain of dealers so after sales service is provided to cover the warranty and any repairs. Generally Pard's products have proved to be reliable and affordable after a large price reduction a few years ago, as various clones started to appear.
The battery life is dependent upon the use of genuine good quality, high capacity batteries. There are many fakes for sale claiming to have capacities that do not exist. The largest consumer of the battery's energy is the IR lamp so you can either take a couple of spare batteries and swap as necessary or fit a supplementary torch running off a separate power supply.
The above all applies to the 007 add-on range but Pard continue to develop their products with new innovations like the 008 day/night scopes and the latest units that include laser range finders and ballistic calculators.

There's not a huge difference between the Sytong and the PARD 007V
None of the other chinese NV rear add-ons are worth considering
If you want the best NV rear add-on than, by all reports, it's the Vulpine Mk3 from ludicrous Lumens, but it costs a lot more than a PARD 007V or the Sytong HT60

Having both the Pard007, the Vulpine MK3, a very expensive Tubed addon and having used the Ward I can vouch that the Vulpine is by far the the best add on out there in my opinion.
It offers no change in head position due to its dimensions and the image quality is superb.
You do need an IR laser but LL supply these. Andy at LL also provides excellent customer service and always replies to emails.
It is nearly double the price of the Pard 007 but you do get what you pay for in life. I use mine for all my night time shooting.
The Pard 007 is a good unit for the money. It all depends what you are wanting to use an add on for and what you ware prepared to pay
