PARD Pantera 256 Mini: Precision Thermal Imaging in a Compact Form
The PARD Pantera 256 Mini bridges the gap between traditional optics and cutting-edge thermal technology, this scope offers a high-sensitivity thermal sensor in a familiar, lightweight, and ergonomic package following that traditional LPVO format for a sleek lightweight scope
Key Features
Unmatched Thermal Sensitivity
Equipped with an advanced thermal sensor featuring a NETD ≤15mK, the Pantera 256 Mini detects temperature differences as small as 0.015°C. This exceptional sensitivity ensures crisp, detailed imagery and effortless object identification, even in challenging weather conditions.
Classic Design, Modern Performance
The Pantera 256 Mini inherits the form factor of a traditional daytime riflescope, weighing only 500g (including battery). Its aluminium alloy body is built for durability, while the intuitive side-focus knob allows for smooth, precise adjustments—even when wearing gloves.

FAQs
Do I need a Charger?
Yes you will need a proper charger - this uses the 18650/21700 battery which is rechargeable and fairly common now - torches etc use 18650/21700 and often customers have a suitable charger
All PARD devices also use 18650/21700 batteries - to include a charger with each device would just drive up the price and create needless waste and since a lot of people buy a handheld and a scope - winding up with 2 chargers would be such a waste
