PARD TS Series
+ The PARD TS Series is a
dedicated thermal scope range designed for hunters who want a compact, purpose-built thermal setup. Available with 384×288 and 640×512 thermal sensors, the range delivers NETD sensitivity below 25 mK for clearer heat signatures in fog, humid conditions, and low-contrast terrain. Selected models also feature a built-in Laser Rangefinder (LRF), while objective lens options range from 25mm to 45mm for greater detection distance.
For Australian hunting, the TS34-25-LRF suits fox and pig control on standard-sized properties, where a 25mm lens keeps the scope lighter without compromising practical hunting performance. If you're regularly scanning larger paddocks, the TS34-45-LRF or TS36-25 offers extra reach and sharper target definition at longer distances.
Price Range: $3,599 – $4,499
PARD FT Series (Multi-Purpose Thermal)
+ The PARD FT Series is a 3-in-1 thermal platform that adapts to different hunting setups without requiring separate thermal devices. It can be used as a dedicated thermal scope, a front clip-on for a compatible daytime scope, or a handheld thermal monocular, with every FT model including a built-in Laser Rangefinder (LRF) for accurate distance measurements across all configurations.
The FT32 is a practical choice for hunters running multiple rifles or those who want to keep their existing daytime optic while adding thermal capability when needed. Its flexible design makes it equally useful for spotting game before the shot or switching between different hunting setups without carrying extra equipment.

What are the Key Features and Benefits of PARD Thermal Scopes?
+ PARD thermal scopes combine advanced thermal imaging with practical hunting features designed for Australian conditions. Key features include:
- 384×288 & 640×512 Thermal Sensors: For clear heat detection and sharper target identification.
- 50Hz Refresh Rate: For smoother tracking of moving game.
- Built-in Video Recording: Capture your hunts without extra equipment.
- Wi-Fi Connectivity: Enjoy live viewing and device management through the PARD app.
- IP67 Weather Protection: Provides reliable performance in rain, dust, and harsh outdoor conditions.
How Far Can You See With a PARD Thermal Scope?
+ PARD thermal scopes provide human detection ranges of around 1,100m to 1,700m, depending on the model, lens, and sensor resolution. Larger lenses and higher-resolution sensors can extend detection distance, with selected models detecting larger heat sources at up to approximately 3,000m.
These figures represent detection, not confirmed identification. Actual animal detection and identification vary with temperature contrast, fog, humidity, vegetation and terrain.
Is Good Hunt an Authorised PARD Dealer?
+ Yes. Good Hunt is an authorised Australian dealer of PARD optics. We sell genuine PARD stock backed by full local manufacturer warranty support.
Are PARD Thermal Scopes Any Good?
+ Yes. PARD has built a solid reputation among Australian hunters for delivering reliable thermal performance at a competitive price point. Their scopes combine sensitive sensors, integrated laser rangefinders across much of the range, and rugged, IP67-rated builds that hold up to dust, rain, and rough paddock conditions. Whether you're after an entry-level unit or a higher-resolution long-range scope, PARD covers a wide spread of budgets without a major compromise on core thermal performance.
Which PARD Thermal Scope Is the Best?
+ It depends on how and where you hunt. For close-range fox and rabbit work, a shorter 25mm-lens model like the TS34-25-LRF is a practical, lightweight option. For bigger paddocks, a 45mm-plus lens model gives you the extra detection range to make the most of longer shots.
Are PARD Thermal Scopes Waterproof?
+ Yes. PARD's thermal scope range is IP67-rated, meaning they're dust-tight and can handle brief submersion in water. That covers rain, mud, and wet paddocks without missing zero or fogging up mid-hunt.
What Is the Warranty on a PARD Thermal Scope?
+ PARD thermal imaging devices carry a 3-year manufacturer warranty, while PARD night vision devices carry a 2-year warranty. Buying through Good Hunt means full local warranty support, so you're not stuck dealing with overseas returns if something goes wrong.
Why Does My Screen Freeze From Time to Time? Is It a Fault?
+ This is normal and not a fault. It's a shutter correction cycle the sensor runs periodically to maintain image accuracy and consistent thermal performance; the screen will resume immediately after.
How Do I Connect My PARD Thermal Scope to My Phone?
+ Enable your PARD device's Wi-Fi hotspot from its on-device menu, then connect to that network from your phone's Wi-Fi settings. Open the PARD companion app to pair the device and start viewing or controlling it live from your phone.
Where Are PARD Thermal Scopes Made?
+ PARD thermal scopes are designed and manufactured in China, home to some of the world's leading thermal imaging manufacturing facilities.
