The PARD Leopard 256 is a pocket-size thermal monocular for scouting, blood trailing and checking the property line after dark. It measures 172 x 36 x 48 mm and weighs about 10.6 oz with its battery, so it rides in a jacket pocket and runs one-handed. Inside is a 256x192 VOx sensor with 12 µm pixels, NETD of 25 mK or better and a 50 Hz refresh rate, shown on a 1024x768 OLED display.
PARD builds the Leopard 256 with an 11mm or a 16mm lens. This is the 16mm version: it has a 2.9x optical base and an 11° x 8.2° field of view, and PARD rates its detection range at 800 m against 500 m for the 11mm model. The 2x, 4x, 6x and 8x settings are digital zoom on top of the 2.9x base. This model has no laser rangefinder.
