PARD Night Stalker 5K eX Night Vision Scope

Key Features of the PARD Night Stalker 5K eX

1. 4096 × 3024 CMOS Sensor: The high-resolution sensor captures detailed digital images, providing a strong specification foundation for users who prioritise image information and target recognition in low-light environments.
2. 2560 × 2560 Circular OLED Display: The 1.03-inch display combines high pixel resolution with a circular viewing format designed to provide an immersive sight picture similar to the viewing experience of traditional daytime optics.
3. 50 mm or 70 mm Lens Options: Choose the configuration that best suits your intended viewing requirements. The 50 mm version provides 4–16× optical magnification, while the 70 mm version provides 5.5–22× optical magnification.
4. Laser Rangefinding and Ballistic Calculation: The system supports distance measurement and ballistic calculation. The laser rangefinder is specified for measurements up to 1,000 metres; confirm that the required LRF module is included in your chosen configuration.
5. Field-Focused Controls and Recording: Side focus, a customisable side button, dual-battery power, Wi-Fi connectivity and recoil-activated recording help streamline operation and provide options for capturing and reviewing activity.

High-Resolution Digital Night Vision

The Night Stalker 5K eX uses a 4096 × 3024 CMOS sensor with a 2 μm pixel size and a published light sensitivity specification of 0.001 lux. These specifications make it particularly relevant to buyers comparing sensor resolution and low-light imaging systems.

Its 1.03-inch, 2560 × 2560 circular OLED display presents the digital image through a high-resolution viewing system. Five image modes—Colour, Black & White, Red, Green and Yellow—allow users to select a display presentation suited to their preferences and conditions.

Actual visibility and image quality depend on ambient light, infrared illumination, lens settings, environmental conditions and the selected configuration. The sensor resolution alone does not determine the maximum distance at which an object can be identified.

Laser Rangefinder, Ballistic Calculation and Recording

For configurations equipped with the appropriate laser rangefinder, the Night Stalker 5K eX supports distance measurements up to 1,000 metres according to the manufacturer's specifications. The ballistic calculator adds a further shooting-support function within the digital optic.

Picture-in-Picture mode displays a magnified area of the image for closer viewing while retaining the wider sight picture. Recoil-activated recording continuously captures a 20-second loop and automatically saves the video when recoil is detected, subject to the device's recording settings and storage configuration.

Built-in Wi-Fi allows the device to connect to a compatible phone for use as an external viewfinder. USB Type-C and HDMI connectivity provide additional connection options.

Practical Design for Field Use

The side-mounted focus control provides direct access to image focusing without requiring the user to reach around the front of the optic. The customisable side button can be assigned to selected functions, including ranging, image modes, menus, photography and video recording.

The dual-battery system combines a built-in 21700 battery with a removable 18650 battery. PARD specifies an operating time of up to approximately six hours, although actual runtime varies with operating conditions, settings and battery state.

With an IP67 protection rating and a published operating temperature range of −30°C to 55°C, the Night Stalker 5K eX is designed for use in demanding outdoor environments. Always follow the manufacturer's operating, mounting and maintenance instructions.

Technical Specifications

Specifications are based on PARD's published product information. Confirm the selected lens, laser rangefinder and infrared illuminator configuration, together with the current regional product documentation, before purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the PARD Night Stalker 5K eX?

The PARD Night Stalker 5K eX is a digital night vision scope featuring a 4096 × 3024 CMOS sensor, a 2560 × 2560 circular OLED display and a range of digital imaging and shooting-support functions.

What is the difference between the 50 mm and 70 mm versions?

The 50 mm version has a published optical magnification range of 4–16×, while the 70 mm version offers 5.5–22×. The best choice depends on the balance you require between magnification and field of view. The official specifications list different fields of view for the two lens options.

Does the Night Stalker 5K eX include a laser rangefinder?

PARD's product information specifies laser rangefinding up to 1,000 metres. However, the European sales page presents LRF as a selectable configuration. Check the selected product variant to confirm whether the module is included.

Does it support ballistic calculation?

Yes. PARD lists a ballistic calculator among the device's functions. Users should consult the official manual for supported inputs, setup instructions and operating limitations.

How long does the battery last?

PARD specifies up to approximately six hours of operation. Actual runtime depends on settings, temperature, battery condition and usage.

Is the Night Stalker 5K eX a thermal imaging scope?

No. It is a digital night vision scope based on a CMOS image sensor. Thermal imaging devices use a different imaging technology and should not be treated as equivalent products.
