PARD OSPREY 4K LRF THERMAL IMAGING BINOCULAR + IR LIGHT

PARD Osprey 4K 384 is a multispectral observation binocular that lets you first spot an animal in the thermal image and then take a closer look at its shape and surroundings through the 4K digital channel. The laser rangefinder measures distances up to 1000 metres. A detachable IR illuminator provides additional light for the digital night vision channel in the dark.

Suitable for

• Observing and counting game at forest edges and in open terrain

• Wildlife observation during the day, at dusk and in the dark

• Searching for heat sources through the thermal channel

• Measuring the distance to the observed object

• Capturing observations as photos or videos

Why choose the PARD Osprey 4K 384 LRF?

• Thermal sensitivity of up to 15 mK helps distinguish small temperature differences in the thermal image.

• Optical image stabilisation reduces the effect of hand shake in the night vision channel.

• Two Full HD OLED displays allow observation with both eyes, and the distance between the eyepieces is adjustable.

• The beam of the detachable IR illuminator can be directed according to the observation area.

• A replaceable 21700 battery and USB-C external power provide two power options for longer observation sessions.

Frequently asked questions

What does 4K mean in the name of the PARD Osprey binocular?

4K refers to the 3840 × 2160 px resolution of the day and night channel CMOS sensor. The thermal sensor resolution is 384 × 288 px. The displays and photo and video recordings have Full HD resolution.

When is the IR illuminator needed?

The IR illuminator provides additional light for the digital night vision channel when the surroundings are dark. The thermal channel forms an image from thermal radiation and also works with the illuminator switched off.

What is the difference between the 1800 m detection range and the 1000 m measurement range?

Up to 1800 m indicates the distance at which the thermal channel can detect a heat source, according to the manufacturer. Up to 1000 m is the measurement range of the laser rangefinder. Identifying an animal's species requires enough detail to be visible in the image, which depends on distance, weather and background.

What memory card does the PARD Osprey 4K 384 use?

A microSD card up to 128 GB is suitable for storing photos and videos. The binocular can be connected to the PardVision2 app via Wi-Fi.

When is the PARD Osprey 4K 384 the right choice?

The Osprey 4K 384 is suitable if you want to find a heat source, view details in the digital image and measure distance during the same observation. The Osprey 4K 256 offers the same basic observation modes with a lower thermal resolution. If you mainly observe while on the move and primarily use thermal imaging, it is worth comparing a separate thermal monocular.

We recommend

Before a longer observation session, adjust the distance between the eyepieces until you see a single complete image, and set the diopters to suit your eyesight. If you wear glasses, check how much of the field of view you can see comfortably. When observing for a long time at higher magnification, finding a support for your hands helps keep the image steadier.

Try switching between the thermal image and the digital channel in familiar terrain. The thermal image helps you spot an animal. You can then use the digital channel to view its shape and surroundings. In the dark, test the IR illuminator both in open terrain and at the forest edge. Nearby branches and tall grass can reflect light back towards the camera and reduce the visibility of a more distant object. If you plan to record your observation, check the available space on the memory card before setting out. For longer observation sessions, take a charged spare battery with you.

PARD Osprey 4K 384 for observation day and night

The Osprey 4K 384 combines thermal imaging, digital day and night observation, and distance measurement in one binocular. Choose the OS43-35/50/LRF package if you also need a detachable IR illuminator for night observation.
