Thread: Thermal Monocular Nocpix/InfiRay vs Pard

Given how much thermal scopes cost and how much thermal scopes and monoculars with the same specs vary when you're using them, the only advice I can give you that you will absolutely not regret is try them out yourself, especially if you can meet up with someone and actually take a look through them in the environment you're likely to be using them in.

Sometimes it's little things that don't work for you (button placement, buttons that can get bumped, eye relief, image brightness) that you'd never in a million years think of until you're holding and trying it. If you can go to a trade show like the sika show, all the better - you can try every model side by side. It's not the right environment, but it really makes a difference getting a feel for them.

The tech is moving really quickly with laser range finders being built into the glass, some new optical zoom models, and the underlying software and processing that's proprietary to each company that's very hard to quantify, but makes a massive difference in the end product.
