Do You Need Parallax For Night Vision Add Ons?

[@black5f]

Hi. Older person here. Good video! I have to have the dioptre screwed out as well, and on the Pard I use. I hate shooting with eye glasses. This all adds up to an optical mess? The most important thing about parallax is in night vision mode with a black light, you are expecting the day sight (glass and multi coatings) to focus IR (invisible to the human eye but not to the add on camera). So in daylight you might get away with it It but IR you won't as you are looking at what a sensitive camera sees on a screen? IR will focus to an entirely different focal plane and if you have to screw with the dioptre, makes the stack of optics worse. So get your day scope set with the right dioptre (for your eyes), sharp reticule. Get your add on dioptre adjusted to the screen, it's a little TV in your scope very close to your eye, sharp image of the menu or any screen info you can see, ignore the image which may be out of focus for multiple reasons. Then the focus on the add on ... adjust that to get a sharp reticule. Now you are done, never touch them again and use the parallax adjustment on the scope for target focus, with IR you will have to screw it in a bit and any distance markings on the bell won't be correct as you are focusing invisible IR wavelengths? If you switch from IR to day modes, use the scope parallax to adjust focus, not the addon adjustments which are nothing to do with that?

If you were only shooting anything from 10 to 60ish yards would you really need that side adjustment?

Nice vid sir,but I must disagree on those claims. Let me elaborate, my springer Gamo 1250/mach1/.22 is beast and quite accurate to distances up to 70 yards . I mounted cheapo from aliepress (with small lcd-screen/IR-light etc for €75.-) and no parallax scope. It still shoots like Wilhelm Tell , the further out I just compensate over under. For a budget n-vision I am impressed ,even looking at the clear night-sky opens up a new world sir. Greetings Passie

In regards to what you said last, that parallax would be exacerbated even more at longer distances.....I thought parallax was even more important at CLOSER distances??? Which is why PRS shooters can get away with setting their parallax at infinity for targets say 500-2000 yards?

Well,maybe you can help,I bought a night vision rear scope add on,having this conundrum,when in night mode i have either clear image with blury crosshair or blury image with clear crosshair,now there is front parallax adjustment on my scope,you have focus adjustment on the night vision as well,question is how i can get crosshair and image in clear focus at the same time

[@JSDeerstalking]

You don’t have parallax adjustment on your scope. You will either have adjustment at the front or an extra turret on the side of your scope for parallax adjustment. Without this, you can’t get both clear, you will only get clear image or clear reticle, not both together unfortunately

Yes you can. Screw the front of your scope loose, then you can turn the lens in or out to adjust your focus, fasten front part again and done. There is a movie on KZbin how to adjust focus without parallax.
