Pard Predator 480 LRF

• 1x clip-on format: The Predator 480 LRF mounts in front of a daytime riflescope, so it adds thermal capability without changing the familiar eye relief, reticle view, or shooting position of the host optic.
• 480x360, 12 μm thermal sensor: This sensor format delivers a detailed thermal image while keeping the unit compact, helping users identify heat signatures clearly without adding unnecessary bulk to the rifle.
• NETD 20 mK sensitivity: High thermal sensitivity helps the device separate small temperature differences, which improves scene detail in rain, damp air, and other difficult conditions where lower-contrast targets are harder to read.
• Integrated 1000 m laser rangefinder: Built-in ranging gives distance data directly from the clip-on, which is useful when judging holdover and target position at night without carrying a separate rangefinder.
• Compact aluminum housing: At 140.00 mm long and 424.00 g, the unit keeps the rifle more manageable than larger front attachments while the metal body is better suited to field use and repeated mounting.

About the Pard Predator Series

The Pard Predator series is PARD’s dedicated line of thermal clip-on systems for hunters and shooters who want to convert an existing daytime riflescope into a thermal setup. Instead of replacing the primary optic, the Predator sits in front of it and preserves the familiar reticle, stock weld, and scope controls, which is a practical approach for users who already trust their daytime glass and want to extend its use into darkness or poor visibility.

Across the series, the focus is on a compact 1x front-clip design, modern 12 μm VOx thermal sensors, and a high-resolution OLED display that keeps the image crisp when viewed through a conventional scope. The series is built for field conditions, with an aluminum housing, weather-resistant construction, and operation in a wide temperature range. Depending on configuration, Predator models also integrate a laser rangefinder, onboard recording, WiFi connectivity, and PARD image-processing features that help improve contrast and target definition. In PARD’s lineup, the Predator series fills the role of a practical thermal add-on for users who want thermal detection and observation while keeping the handling and sight picture of a traditional hunting optic.

About the Pard Predator 480 LRF

The Pard Predator 480 LRF is the rangefinder-equipped version of the Predator clip-on built around a 480x360 thermal sensor with a 12.00 μm pixel pitch and 20.00 mK NETD. In practical use, that combination gives the unit enough thermal detail for confident target detection while also improving the visibility of subtle heat differences that can otherwise disappear in wet ground, brush, or unstable weather. With a stated detection range of 1000.00 m, it is suited to scanning open ground and locating heat sources well beyond normal shooting distances.

Its 1.00x optical magnification is central to the way this model works. Because it is a true clip-on rather than a standalone thermal scope, the Predator is designed to sit ahead of a daytime optic and feed it a thermal image, allowing the shooter to keep the familiar reticle and scope ergonomics already in use. The 35.00 mm objective lens and 9.40 ° field of view balance scene coverage with enough image scale to stay useful in mixed terrain.

The integrated laser rangefinder adds an important field advantage by providing distance information directly from the clip-on, reducing the need to break position and use a separate device. A 1920x1080 OLED display helps maintain a clean image through the host scope, while onboard photo and video recording, video output, and WiFi connectivity expand the unit’s usefulness for observation, review, and sharing. The aluminum body, IP67-level weather protection, and operation from -30°C to +55°C make it suitable for hard outdoor use, and the single 18650 power system keeps battery changes simple in the field.

About PARD

PARD is the registered product brand of Shenzhen Puleide Technology Co., Ltd., a company established in 2017 and based in Shenzhen, China. The brand focuses on night-vision and thermal-imaging devices for hunting and outdoor use, with a catalog that includes clip-ons, monoculars, and dedicated scopes. Its night-vision range includes the NV007 and NV008 series, while its thermal lineup extends across families such as the SU, G, TA, SA, and TS series.

That product mix shows PARD’s emphasis on practical electro-optics for low-light and no-light use rather than general sporting optics. The company also identifies dual-light fusion and ballistic calculation among its core technologies, reflecting its focus on devices that combine imaging, ranging, and field-oriented shooting functions in compact formats.
