steve_b_wales Posted June 1, 2020 Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 I've just received my new 019 spotter, and I would now like to fit an external IR to it, but can't see where it would go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rewulf Posted June 1, 2020 Report Share Posted June 1, 2020 You can fit a small rail to the underside using the tripod mount threads. Then fit something that way, or a friend of mine fitted a rail to the side , but its a bit of a faff. The on board one zoomed in is pretty good though. I did experiment with putting extra IR and a range finder on one , but it became too big and bulky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the screw came with the rail and does actually sit flush. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldypigeonpopper Posted June 6, 2020 Report Share Posted June 6, 2020 (edited) Hello, how you getting on with the pard 019 Steve ?, Did you need to get one of those plus lenses ? Mine came with a small weaver add on kit, but never needed to use extra I/R, the on board I/R seems to do 150 yards with the pull ring out to 1/2 3/4 way, a word of caution is the small weaver adapter, I found the stud is to long ? Look inside the thread hole ? A shorter stud will sit the adapter better on the unit, Edited June 6, 2020 by oldypigeonpopper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't had chance to try it out properly yet. I think I may be lucky to get away without using the + lenses. I found, in my box of odds n sods, a small weaver rail with built in screw, and that fitted perfectly on the 019. I haven't tried out the IR yet, as I've just finished a bank of 5 x 14hr night shifts (social care) but hope to try it out soon, even if it's from my back bedroom window.

steve_b_wales Posted June 27, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2020 Has anyone got a link for a small picatinny/weaver rail with screw to fit the PARD 019 spotter. I fitted one that I found in my box of bits and pieces, but don't know where I got it from. There's a guy on Facebook asking about it. I can't even find the link I had off Pete Dodsworth regarding this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As mentioned, I had a small Picatinny rail with screw in my 'box of bits' which luckily for me, was the right size/thread. I may have bought it via Ali Express. I haven't checked them out yet.
