@PARD_Tech Please include a clear description of the base magnification (the lowest magnification) associated with each objective lens size in the product description. This is very vague.
When customers get to the specs it gets confusing because optical zoom and digital zoom are both mentioned. After reading this it is unclear how each is used and if the maximum zoom is a combination of the maximum optical zoom multiplied by the maximum digital zoom. For example on the 45mm lens, does this mean the max magnification is 2.8 x 8 = 22.4x? Can you provide clarity here? Some people reading this thread no nothing about thermal and night vision and are learning from us. I think it is beneficial to all to explain things as thoroughly and concisely as possible.
Another point to consider for your United States market, it may be helpful to use inches instead of centimeters for the specifications and foot pound energy (FPE) in place of joules. I see that you already use yards instead of meters for the specification of the LRF module's range. Nice!

Looks like @PARD_Tech is missing in action. Hopefully some good things are in the works at Pard and they visit this thread in the future with updates and developments as well as answers to questions posed in this thread.

Hi.
According this vid, Pard Night Stalker 4k has "Y" reticle adjustment more then +-75 (at this vid (Y: -126)
But I can't set a "Y" number higher than +75 or -75, what makes zeroing impossible. And the device Night Stalker 4k is useless.
Any ideas what it is?
PARD_Tech help please
PS. Installed latest firmware Nightstalker 4K, Release Date: 2024/04/29 (FWPDDS37.bin)

Pard support here has obviously fallen by the wayside. Who here is still enjoying their Pard NV units despite the release of Arken/DNT day/night scopes?

Used my nightstalker last night on a PB to dispatch a few coyotes behind the house in the pasture harassing some new calves and their mommas. It works well but the ranging I can't do above the second zoom level but other than that it works well.

I honestly think it's probably that more than anything because it's pretty much centered in the scope but as you go up in zoom it is eventually off the screen. Could be some ring height issues as well I don't have it in there cheap rings it comes with anymore.

I use my Night Stalker multiple times a week.
The listed Arken/DNT specs indicate they have about half of the resolution available through the PARD Night Stalker.

It probably has more to do with the age of the device. I'm going through a similar issue with a Kestrel Windmeter firmware update. It was updated to 5700 Elite with Advance Ballistics functions. Now Advance Ballistics released Quantum but it's not recognizing I have an Elite device. Advance Ballastics says I need the latest firmware update but Kestrel says I'm up to date one version below the latest. I've submitted requests to Kestrel about why I can't update to the latest firmware but they are ghosting me. Seems if it is not their latest version they don't want to revisit the past.

Byron,
I have been following Applied Ballistics newest app, Quantum.
And it seems like they release a BETA or CHARLY or DELTA version — just far removed from the quality and functionality of what Brian Litz usually produces.
My last info, from a few weeks ago, is that Quantum is not yet setup for many of the devices that run Applied Ballistics.
One of them is the Kestrel.
Hopefully, they will get on that asap — as this would allow the owner of a device that uses Applied Ballistics (rangefinder, windmeter, etc.) to get the pro version of Quantum for free without requiring a subscription...
