  1. For Sale: LRF Lens Protector - HikMicro Alpex PRO A50PL

    Just wanted to give Rory (takbok) a well-deserved shout-out. Top seller. He was happy to post out to me here in Slovakia with no fuss at all, communication throughout was excellent, and shipping was seriously fast — it actually arrived before my Alpex did! Most importantly, the product itself is...
  2. Alpex Pro VS Zulus 4K VS PARD Nightstalker 2.0 - WHICH ONE TO CHOOSE??

    You’re right that the Night Stalker 4k LRF 2.0 doesn’t have IR built in. The unit I had my hands on did have the 850 module, but it wasn’t actually attached yet; the shop owner was fitting it during my visit. To be honest I didn’t pay attention to whether it came in the same box or a separate...
  3. Alpex Pro VS Zulus 4K VS PARD Nightstalker 2.0 - WHICH ONE TO CHOOSE??

    the illuminator ive tried were the original Pard module (one thats supplied with it here in Slovakia) and then Dark Engine Blade was attached to the Alpex Pro
  4. Alpex Pro VS Zulus 4K VS PARD Nightstalker 2.0 - WHICH ONE TO CHOOSE??

    from these videos it really seems the Pard is better, from my experience the Hik was better, that was also the spontaneous reaction of my neighbor (hunting shop owner) and his wife that also hunts (they sell both brands). They said Hik and Pard are like day a night even after taking them out for...
  5. Alpex Pro VS Zulus 4K VS PARD Nightstalker 2.0 - WHICH ONE TO CHOOSE??

    Fair point — which illuminator were you running on the Alpex? I've seen your footage and it does back up what you're saying, but it didn't match my own experience when I had the two side by side, which is what's puzzling me. That said, I'll hold my hands up: I haven't tested them properly. I...
  6. Roe Buck Calling

    I've had great success with the call from that German company too — does the job nicely. The Buttolo roe call has also worked really well for me during the rut; simple little thing but it brings them in.
  7. Digital v’s glass

    This sums it up well for me. I’ve had a lot of fun with digital — it’s great that if I head out at dusk I don’t have to swap anything over when the light goes, and there’s a bit of a “gadget/game” feel to it that I enjoy. But good glass is an entirely different thing: it holds its value and you...
  8. Alpex Pro VS Zulus 4K VS PARD Nightstalker 2.0 - WHICH ONE TO CHOOSE??

    I’ve had the Alpex Pro and the Pard side by side in my local shop. The Alpex was much easier to use, better connectivity and overall just a nicer package. To my eye the Alpex also seemed the better image at night, though I’ll be honest I don’t have masses of experience with these yet so take...
  9. Hello from Slovakia

    Hello everyone, My name is Tomas and I’m joining from the Žilina region in northern Slovakia. Hunting is a big part of life here, with a strong tradition of game management — we have red deer, roe deer, wild boar and mouflon across the forested hills and mountains of the area, so there’s plenty...
