PARD PA2Q-25 Pantera 256 Q Thermal Black 3.6x25mm, Multiple Reticle,Digital 2x/4x/6x/8x Zoom

The PARD PA2Q-25 Pantera 256 Q is a compact thermal imaging scope built for hunters and shooters who need reliable heat detection in low-light and no-light conditions. This entry-level thermal scope combines a 3.6x base magnification with digital zoom up to 8x, giving you flexible viewing options without the bulk of traditional rifle scopes. The side-focus design lets you dial in target clarity quickly, and the lightweight aluminum alloy housing keeps fatigue down during long glassing sessions or tactical work. It's ready to deploy straight from the box—no complex setup required.

At its core, the Pantera 256 Q uses an uncooled vanadium oxide thermal sensor with 256×192 pixel resolution and a 12-micron pixel pitch. That translates to a 25mK NETD (thermal sensitivity), solid performance for detecting warm targets out to 1,200 meters in total darkness or through obscuring conditions like rain, fog, or dust. The 50Hz refresh rate keeps motion smooth, and the 1920×1080 OLED display gives you a sharp, vivid image whether you're scanning terrain or lining up a shot.

Features built for field work include recoil-activated recording, loop recording, hot-track targeting, an electronic compass, and a gyroscope for image stabilization. You get multiple reticle styles in red, white, yellow, and green, plus scene modes (City, Rain, Forest) and image modes (WT-HOT, BK-HOT, RD-HOT, IN-HOT, SKY) to adapt to whatever conditions you encounter. Built-in 32GB storage captures photos (JPG) and video (MP4) without needing external media, and WiFi connectivity lets you pair it with the PardVision2 app for remote viewing or firmware updates.

Built tough for the field, it carries an IP67 rating, operates in temperatures from −30°C to +55°C, and handles 6,000 joules of recoil. The all-glass multi-coated objective lens and USB Type-C charging (one lithium-ion 18650 battery) keep it practical and portable for extended hunts or surveillance work.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the detection range of the Pantera 256 Q thermal scope?

The Pantera 256 Q can detect thermal targets out to 1,200 meters. Actual detection distance varies with target size, ambient conditions, and thermal contrast; the 25mK NETD sensitivity ensures solid performance even in challenging low-light or obscured conditions.

Can I record video with this thermal scope, and how much can I store?

Yes. The Pantera 256 Q records video in MP4 format at 1024×768 resolution and captures still photos in JPG format at the same resolution. It has 32GB of built-in storage, so you can record footage without carrying external media. It also supports recoil-activated recording and loop recording, which overwrites the oldest footage when storage is full.

Does the Pantera 256 Q have a rangefinder or ballistic calculator?

No, the Pantera 256 Q does not include a laser rangefinder or ballistic calculator. It is a thermal imaging scope designed for target detection and thermal imaging; you'll need to use an external rangefinder if distance measurement is required for your application.

Is the Pantera 256 Q waterproof and what temperatures can it handle?

Yes, the Pantera 256 Q has an IP67 waterproof rating and is designed to operate in temperatures from −30°C to +55°C (−22°F to +131°F). It can also withstand 6,000 joules of recoil, making it suitable for mounted use on rifles and reliable in harsh field conditions.
