Ffs, it’s an add on unit. A camera looking at a reticle. The laser splash and the box projected onto the screen should line up better. If I took the 007 off the scope and used it on its own it would be the same! Nothing to do with the setup of the scope or the 007’s relationship to it. Do you not understand that smelly dog or are you trying to be pedantic?
I don't see this logic, it's one optical instrument looking through another optical instrument, there could very easily be an offset...especially with the Pard clamps.

The camera is indeed looking at the ocular lense.
The laser is not.
The camera knows not the condition of the scope nor it's axis to the rifle bore.
I understand more than you think you know!
It's obviously a very stressful time for you so I'll bug out.
Besides, I fancy another hot dinner....

Cheers Drew..
Atb blue.
But this is not 4K version. Although the concept is probably the same.

You can see that the laser is close to the reticle in a video of a roe doe he made.
Just wondering if there’s been anymore info or if those that have it can share how the onboard IR performs, I’ve got the original sp with the laser illuminator, it works great at range and at top power I’ve taken a few foxes at 200+. But the lower base mag would really help with closer work.
How are you finding the clarity? Do you find the 2.2 base mag better? Thanks for getting back to me I have a Sirius somewhere but I never needed to use it with my sp lrf, I could always spot foxes and on full power it was good to 300 metres.Trying to source an on board ir at the moment. Dealers are all out of stock saying it could be a few months. Also heard they are now illegal! Time will tell, not in a rush as the add on blade is working very well out to well past my comfort zone.

I
Have an older pard 007 on an meosport 3-15x50 with paralax so I am a litle innterested in this topic. Can I ask @Drew 3 what kind of blade you Are using? The 850 or 940?Trying to source an on board ir at the moment. Dealers are all out of stock saying it could be a few months. Also heard they are now illegal!

Hi, using the 850. I can easily see to shoot a fox at 300 yds. The detail is ok to shoot but bring it in to around 250 and it is extremely good. I rarely shoot past 200 yds so dose me perfectly.
Ok, thanks for responding! Hmm, I have tried the night saber wraith 940 on my pard, think its the pard model NV 007S I have, unfortunately it diden’t do the job for me. Maybe some different IR is better. The pard itself is ok with the inbuilt 850 IR but I am hunting at a distance at 20-100 meter so think I must have 940 NM. Scope is meosport with side paralax.
IR light I have been wondered about is
this: PARD® | Global Leader in Thermal Imaging and Night Vision Optics-PARD UK in 940,
this: Black Sun Dark Engine BLADE COVERT IR illuminator
or this:Night Blaster 940NM LED IR Torch
Its a jungle out there so I am confused. Others pard products are also solid here in Norway can get a pard ds 35 for about 540 £ Pard DS35 70 LRF 940 nm dag og natt kikkertsikte med ir og avstandsmåler - and then you have Hikmicro alpex 4K mini and all The thermal products, and a lot of others.

Well this week I had my new Pard Sp 2 delivered from Pard UK bought on Amazon. Still having the original model sp with the vcsel illuminator I took both out for a comparison. Both models were attached to an element optics helix 6-24 second focal plane scope on separate rifles, viewing a range of targets and animals from 100-300 yards. In short the original was infinitely better, when using the built in illuminator the new model with the LED just didn’t have the power, the image was grainy and dull. I was easily able to see a fox at 300 yards with the original while with the sp2 I could identify but would not have been able to take the shot. In comparison of field of view the original has an optical mag of x4 while the sp2 is x2.2 I struggled to see much of a difference even side by side. The sp2 did have a wider field of view but not as significant as I would have imagined. All these comparisons were done with the on board illuminator as I personally prefer to just use the unit itself, less bulky and one less button to press while marching over the fields.
So I sent the new one back, it’s was very capable within 150m but when compared the the original the image was just so much poorer even with the 4k screen. At the end of the day you can’t shoot what you can’t see.
Hope this helps
