PARD DS35 Gen II VS HIKMICRO Alpex Day/Night Vision Rifle Scope Comparison Test

Thanks for the informative video's - keep up the good work.
My set-up is a Falcon FQ 50 Thermal Spotter and the Pard DS35x70LRF .
I can swap the PARD across three different centrefire rifles and for one of those rifles I have 3 different loads - gives me a total of 5 options.
The PARD gives me great versatility and good image quality [I predominately shoot at night]

How can it be a fair comparison when you are comparing a Gen2 against a first generation model.

I have both and the pard is much better during the day, alpex has better field of view, alpex is bettter at night but not by much, aplex is better in low light, pard is feather weight compared to the alpex, i prefer the pard and will be getting rid of the alpex.

Just got the Pard NV007SP LRF. It clips easily in seconds on all 6 of my gun/scope combinations and is superb.
Clear image and LRF is instant.
The onboard IR is fine for up to 100.
Better with a bolt on laser IR but not needed for airguns.
Glad I didn’t go for a dedicated day/night scope.

What there mot telling you is there brining out the Alpex A50TL LRF version anytime soon. From the images I've seen wich was released last year it looks like a bolt on unit but the kick in the balls for all us who invested in the hicmicro brand is that it won't work with the Gen1 Alpex because it does not have Bluetooth so if we want a Alpex with LRF we have to spend £1200 and buy the exact same scope again just with bluetooth added and then the bolt on LRF will work. Thanks Hicmicro for your loyalty to all upur early adopters.

We need to see the atn 5 Vs the ds35 both ballistic would be a good comparison

Looking at the footage shown, the Pard looks to have the clearest daytime image ?. Not much between them at night. I have an Alpex, bought from yourselves, and, to be honest, I'm starting to lose confidence in it. Thinking of going back to the Sidewinder/007 combo.

I have both round and rectangular displays on my thermal and digital NV. I have no preference for either one. Makes no difference to me. Shame there are only two fixed magnifications base and max. I prefer a proper zoom.

Thanks,👍👍👍

Nice to know which one benefits the most from the addition of, say a Solaris XTL etc.
