Looking at thermal spotters and see 3 brands readily available in NZ- Pulsar, Pard and Guide. Does anyone have any experience with Pard or Guide that can share what they know? Obvious choice is the Pulsar Helion XP50, but at $8k worth looking at what else is available.
Sorry if this Subject has been flogged already...
Is the Pulsar XP50 Helion 2 (latest 2020 edition) out in the shops now ??Quote:

I rate the pard over the pulsar, never used a guide have used a GSCI. We’re you using the thermal pard or the digital/nvg model @Clint Ruin?
Thermal. Played with the digital pards when fitting them to customers guns . Was looking thought the pard back to back with the helion.
Choppy ?

Yup. It just felt choppy to my eyes . Swinging it around at a decent speed it took longer to re calibrate. Just my opinion as someone who has had hands on with a few .
Was using a xp50 helion which is a higher price bracket unit
Fraser - that looks as good - maybe even better than my Pulsar Thermion XP50Quote:

They are; we get a lot of comments like that as we are travelling the country visiting stores at the momentQuote:

But its real; as it happened video
They are $5499 and $5999 for the Laser Rangefinder model
We don't have a dedicated handheld as of yet - but what I do is put a QD mount on it and carry it in my bino case - easy to scan and few seconds to clip to rifle and shoot :)
