philpot 4,927 Posted September 30, 2020 Report Share Posted September 30, 2020 Sean is the Pard 008 a new one or one with the stronger laser because I have heard on several forums that the new ones are not a patch on the earlier ones with a few guys saying they have fitted an extra IR torch as the range was so poor. In fact whilst in the RFD the other day, a young guy who works there offered £900 for my pal's as it is a year old and classed as an older model. The young guy stopped bidding on ebay for the 008 at £900, it went for £1200 according to the young guy. He should have sold it and bought something else and have cash left over.

Phil I have 2 of the older nv008 , 1 original non lrf & 1 about a year old lrf, just bought a brand new nv008plrf & its not a patch on the other 2 older models, the ir is crap, i even took the diffuser out the brand new 1 & it gained nothing, made the ir crosshatched, so i put the diffuser back in ! The older versions are much better ! 1 Quote Link to post

Phil Phil , there is a filter which needs removing , then after that it becomes brighter just seen what viz said , but a lot have said it works a lot better without the filter 1 Quote Link to post
