Yep.

The picture in picture image doesn't align with the primary view*, because its two scopes stacked ontop of each other. There is no software correction for the pip image (yet) and be aware that the ballistic solution is not displayed on the pip (yet) - there might be some misleading videos out there showing solutions on a "pip" which is not accurate (inserted sensor video not actual pip view).

*It'll be dead on at your zero distance (if you zero both channels to the same distance - probably should), and then it'll be 'close enough' for short range aiming through the PIP.

For long range/precise shooting I don't reccomend using the PIP to aim unless you bother to figure out the dope for it versus your primary scope ballistic solution, pretty easy math using mils per pixel. But I suggest you just alway shoot with the primary view, that's where the ballistic solution is displayed and its easier if you're not in a rush.

Features wise, its an ok scope, there's better options now but maybe not for the same price. The software is slower than you'd like. Zooming and changing views/modes/settings will feel bad if you're used to instanteous response from your technology.
The ergonomics are execellent (imo). Pard have done well with all of their tube-scope form factors.

The combination of both channels is very powerful for detection and identification.

I briefly used a TD32. Pard in China hooked me up directly with some Landsats after discussions with their technicians. The software is still the same, but hopefully they amend its shortfalls in the future to produce something proper.

Basically if you're not going to be a power user and you want both a NV/Day/Thermal it's likely you'll enjoy it.
