I really hope that hikmicro comes up with an updated version with a BDC in it just like the pard it make’s shooting much easier

I also wish that HIKmicro comes with a BDC , it's really nice

An enjoyable video James I really do like the look of the cheetah for its compact size. But both scopes look great.

I bought the HIKMICRO Alpex after watching the Optics Warehouse review and I really like it. The full colour image in near total darkness is incredible and I can't wait for the longer twilights in the summer months. Such a shame HIKMICRO have no plans to add an LRF to the Alpex range, as the included MEASURE facility is basically useless, in my opinon.

own C32F-SL, I have a friend with Pard 35 /70. We tested both sights. In Day mode, I can say that they are the SAME, CLEAR AND CONTRAST IMAGE. In total darkness PARD WINS by a lot. IR of CHEETAH is very weak. Above 100 m is very bad. Excuse me for the spelling, I'm writing with google translate.

Thanks for watching!

Great vid James, cannot believe you did not centre the onboard IR on Pard though.😢 To be honest the Hik looks a better image, would like to see them both at range (400mtrs) with whatever IR is best for them.👍

I have both and this is not a true representation the pard is better with the IR compared to the cheetah std IR you need an extra IR with the cheetah for detail, the video quality looks twice as good as the real footage for some reason on the cheetah, as soon as you go over base mag on the cheetah to 2x the quality is awfull on the cheetah too but I do still like the cheetah for the better fov but I use the pard more

Nice comparison video, which scope would you say is better out of HIKMICRO Cheetah HM-C32F-SL 2.7x and the Arken Optics ZULUS HD 5-20X Digital Night Vision Scope With LRF And Ballistic rail TIA

I got a Pard DS35-50 not to long ago. I love the thing but there are a few things I wish where different on it. I don't like that there are only two options for zoom (4x and 8x), no way to get any in between magnification. I have to believe they did it this way because it is easier to do BC with only two options. If anything I wish it was 3 options; 2x, 4x, and 8x. I love the PiP function, but it doesn't focus on where your BC is telling you to aim. Because of this, unless you have no drop, it is kind of worthless. There is no way to change position of the LRF (unless you void your warranty), not sure why they let you change the illuminator but not the LRF. If you don't like the position of the LRF (or your zero takes it off screen) then your out of luck. Having to scroll up threw menus after getting to the bottom doesn't bother me, don't normally mess with the menus after set up anyways. But to zoom in you rotate clockwise and to zoom back out you rotate the same way, it feels really counterintuitive. I feel it is a great scope, but if they change these few things it would be a perfect scope for me.

Have both, the cheetah has better fov due to lower base mag, but apart from that the ds35-50 is far better especially the built in ir, the std ir is crap from the cheetah so have to use sep ir if you want good picture quality at night, balistics is coming for cheetah.which is a good thng, only gripe with the pard is you cant use any 18650 battery as some are longer than others, anything other than base mag with the cheetah really produces a grainy image but its still a very good short range scope.

What a rubbish review you give you didn't mention the cheetah can give on your ordinary scope
