Pard FD-1 front Clip on

Image
 The Pard FD-1 is a 3 in 1 unit. It can be use as a front clip on NV, a spotter or a stand alone digital day and night scope. To use it as a stand alone scope you will need to buy the optional mount. There are also third party mounts available, such as the Eagle Vision Cam rifle mount.  In spotter and stand alone mode there is a ballistic calculator function. Sadly this doesn't work in clip on mode. You still get a laser range finder and a host of other features. These include digital zoom, image stabilisation and 3 levels of UV illumination. There is also some picatiny rail, for an auxiliary light.  I'm currently testing in both stand alone and clip on modes.
