Looking for a decent nv spotter cant afford thermal atm
Pard 019 any good
- Thread starter dawnbreaker
- Start date
The NV 019 is a decent NV spotter, but, depending on your eyesight, you may need to fit an additional lens into the rubber eyecup to get a focussed image.

Whit onboard IR and lens fully extended, you will see 100m. I add short picatinny rail under the unit so I can use external IR.
It also helps with longer battery life.
This one Black Sun V20 VCSEL Laser IR illuminator is good compromise between size, price and performance.
This one Compact IR Laser Torch looks even smaller, but I don't know how good it is.
One more advice if I may.
If you know, that you can not afford thermal, than don't even try to look through one, because you will buy it one way or another.
It is so much better in spotting than NV.
I used PARD 019 for two years, but after testing Axion XM30S for two weeks, I newer went back.

I'll rock the boat - I thought pard 019 was utter dog shité and that was before I looked through a thermal. I bet I didn't keep mine more than 4 weeks. Just utterly pointless. Unless you get eyes then you're chasing shadows in the dark. Save up, find 0% finance, sell a bolloćk but for spotting it has to be thermal. I'd rather use lamp than pard 019. Tripe.

On board it far better than 100. I use mine out to 250 no issue what so ever. You need to adjust exposure and brightness to get the best out of it

Yes, mine did go much further than 100.
This was the first video I ever made with Russ Douglas and it's all about the NV019 
From about 30-35 minutes there is footage of the NV019 being used at dusk and in darkness and spotting a fox at 350-400 yards

I have no complaints except an annoying bright blue LED on the control panel (now blanked).
In addition to the essential additional lens, a red filter for night use cuts down eye burn-out and off-eye glare.
Built in illumination adequate, but only just.
