Pard Merlin Night Vision Binos 50Mm 850 Ir

The Pard Merlin 50mm night vision binoculars deliver versatile magnification and thermal imaging capability for hunters, tactical operators, and outdoor enthusiasts who need reliable low-light observation. Built around a 1920×1080 CMOS sensor with 0.0001 lux sensitivity, the Merlin lets you see in near-total darkness without relying on ambient light. The 50mm objective lens paired with 4.6x optical magnification and 2x digital zoom gives you a solid field of view while keeping the package lightweight and portable enough for extended field work.

What sets the Merlin apart is its smart dual-view capability: Picture-in-Picture mode overlays a magnified inset (up to 18.4x) in the corner of your main image, so you can track distant detail without losing situational awareness of the broader scene. The integrated 850nm IR illuminator reaches out to 350 meters with three adjustable power levels, letting you tune output to your distance and lighting conditions. An OLED display with selectable color or black-and-white modes lets you choose what works best for your eyes and the environment.

The Merlin is built for field duty: IP67 weatherproofing handles rain and dust, the AL6061 aluminum and composite housing resists abuse, and the single 21700 lithium-ion battery runs up to 6 hours per charge. Video recording, audio capture, loop recording, and time-stamped logging are built in—useful for documenting observations or reviewing footage later. WiFi and USB-C connectivity let you transfer files and control the unit via the PardVision2 app on your phone, and you can expand storage up to 128GB with a microSD card.

Whether you're hunting at night, conducting tactical surveillance, or exploring in low-light terrain, the Merlin 50mm brings clarity and reach to environments where your naked eye would see nothing. It's the kind of tool that turns moonless nights into advantage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use the Pard Merlin binoculars for hunting in complete darkness?

Yes. The Merlin's 0.0001 lux sensitivity and integrated 850nm IR illuminator are designed specifically for total-darkness observation. The IR illuminator reaches 350 meters, and you can adjust its output across three power levels to suit your distance and surroundings. Combined with the high-sensitivity CMOS sensor, this setup lets you hunt effectively on moonless nights.

What does the Picture-in-Picture mode do?

PIP mode displays a magnified inset window (up to 18.4x) in the corner of your main image while you maintain the broader 4.6x view. This is useful for tracking a distant target or detail—such as an animal or landmark—without losing awareness of the wider scene around it.

How long does the battery last, and can I use external power?

The single 21700 lithium-ion battery provides up to 6 hours of operation per charge. You can also power the binoculars externally via USB-C, which is useful for extended field sessions or base-camp use.

Can I record video and transfer files to my phone?

Yes. The Merlin records full video with audio to a microSD card (up to 128GB capacity), applies time-stamps, and supports loop recording. WiFi connectivity and the PardVision2 app let you view, control, and transfer files wirelessly to your mobile device.
