cracking bit of kit , love mine and havnt had it out yet just still learning it wow wow wow

[@TheNightVisionShow]

They can't be beat for the price.

[@jasonlox27]

your not wrong £480 i paid no range finder tho but i part ex a hawke snd only lost £20 on the hawke fab fab fab kit

[@stephenoshea1166]

Ive got more testing to do but so far looks like the ballistic calculator is doing good. Have got 243 and 223 zerod at 100m, had a fox with the 243 at 230m using the bc, had a rabbit since with the 223 at 216m, i know not big drops involved but 4-5". Shot standing using tripod so far enough considering. Next to try it on a 22lr where if successful will be a very valuable tool. For me the lrf box snd splash are a fair bit lower than the centre of reticle but i can see it on 3.5 and 7 mag, and just about on bottom of screen at 14, im ok with that, you get used to it and its a lot more convenient than using picatinny lrf external to the scope. I find it easier to range at say 7 mag anyway then zoom in further to shoot if needs be. *If i was being fussy, it would be nice to also have a user selectable stepped magnification group. *Could be possible in a firmware upgrade i suppose So i could choose likes of 3.5 - 7- 12 - 16 for example.

[@TheNightVisionShow]

Hi thanks for the comment good to hear bc the working well for you also. you can change the zoom to continuous or multiple that will be what your after.

[@stephenoshea1166]

@@TheNightVisionShow I know you can use continuous but i think it's a lot slower to magnify not that I've tried it much ... the 4 step range is good, I just thought if you could customise what those 4 steps were it could be a good upgrade.

[@TheNightVisionShow]

@@stephenoshea1166 Yes it is slower but I guess it comes down to personal preference.

[@bruceunderwood7414]

Fantastic video you’ve saved my life 👍🦊

[@TheNightVisionShow]

Glad it helped alway happy to help

[@philipheelham3061]

Zeroing thru your phone is even easier as u can measure the distance and make the adjustment in the phone and it’s bang on next shot

[@TheNightVisionShow]

Hi yep that way works also we have used that method also with good results.

[@jasonlox27]

havnt tried that yet

[@jamesbowskill362]

very good presentation again, but I am unsure about one thing you did with the Bal' Cal', at that time you indicated your bullet speed at 1100+ M ps, that equats to over 3500 fps is this correct? Also, yesterday I sent a question to you ! it referred to the little white box that appears on the screen near the crosshair,.....What is it, what does it do etc.

[@TheNightVisionShow]

bal cal ? the speed of the ammo needs to be in MPS or FPS

[@jamesbowskill362]

@@TheNightVisionShow Its a YES or NO answer.

[@richardphelan5402]

In the balistic calculation page for the 4k lrf you selected profile 2,im guessing this equivalent to profile B as selected when zeroing, .eg ,A=1 B=2 C=3 etc ?

[@TheNightVisionShow]

no it relates to the active profile that is selected at the time. I just have mine set as profile A= bc page 1 profile B= bc page 2 just for ease and keep it simple

[@andrewelias9849]

Can I link ballistic profiles to different rifle profiles or does the ballistic profile need to be manually changed to correspond to the appropriate rifle profile . Kind regards Andy elias.

[@TheNightVisionShow]

Hi, yes so can zero 5 rifle profiles then have 5 different bc profiles set up.

[@andrewelias9849]

@TheNightVisionShow Ok I'm aware there are 5 different profiles. My question is , when one changes rifle profile, does one also have to change the ballistic profile manually or does it change it automatically? Kind regards Andy.

[@PaulHamM3]

Good video, mate i just bought one of these and got it all zeroed in fine, is there anyway to change the meters per second or the rangefinders distance units to imperial? I know its only units but i do like my yards, and feet per seconds lol

[@TheNightVisionShow]

Hi, thanks for the comment. this change will be coming on the next update.

[@jefersonseefeld9803]

If my scope is zeroed at 30 yards and for some reason I need to shoot at a target at 8 yards, will it make the adjustment for such a close distance?

[@TheNightVisionShow]

Hi the minimum distance for the LRF to measure is 10 m so would need to do your part on knowing hold over or under on said set up.

[@ChrisHaigh-i5e]

I’ve got that scope on a sub12 Airgun currently. I’ve input data and BC is way off at short ranges (obvs LRF won’t work at less than 10m. My chrono FX is showing average of 229ms which it says is only 10.8 ft lb so suspect this is wrong (does an FX chrono work through barrel shroud?) Do you know if rise/drop can be input manually into the BC function. In other words you input a range of holdovers/unders to move the secondary ret to whatever the range is?

[@TheNightVisionShow]

Hi, you will need to do some testing but if your speed is on then you could tune the bc up or down till your hitting centre of target.

[@ChrisHaigh-i5e]

@@TheNightVisionShow Thanks TBF I’ve not had chance to play with it all yet.

[@willsmith020670]

Shame you couldn’t arrange for set up days for these bits of kit at a local range 🤔

[@TheNightVisionShow]

what part of the country are you located ?

[@willsmith020670]

I’m based in Bedfordshire but willing to travel 👍

[@matthewnobby6789]

Why is your LRF box in the 5 o’clock position and mine is in the 7 o’clock position? Is there any way to adjust the box in the screen? As when I zoom in? It disappears off the bottom left of the picture.

[@TheNightVisionShow]

hi, no they are set from the factory can try changing your scope hight or using adjustable mounts to move it.

[@matthewnobby6789]

@@TheNightVisionShow yeah, no worries. Just seems pretty pointless that you can’t move the box a little bit higher so you can see it when you zoom in.

[@simonDon6645]

I have the same problem mine is way over to the right hand side which is ok on 3.5 mag but lost if you zoom in. I have to keep playing with zoom to ISE this function. At least with the Pards you could move the splash and then re plot the box in the scope screen.

[@christophercharles8758]

Is the new Hikmicro Alplex lrf better than the new Pard ds 35? I’m really struggling to make a decision here…

[@TheNightVisionShow]

Hi, thanks for the comment, they are both great scopes, but I know what I would have. what will it be used for ?

[@petersimon3066]

That x28 over 11.5 magnification on the DS35 70 has got to be a plus on small game over the 150 yards.

[@issamsoufan82]

My LRF aiming box is at the bottom of the screen is there any way to adjust the LRF box to position higher nearer to the cross ?

[@TheNightVisionShow]

Hi no they are set from the factory could try changing the scope hight.

[@bertcremers3134]

verry good and informative video

[@TheNightVisionShow]

Hi Glad you liked it hope it helps

[@arthursc0]

What is the white square box to the right below the centre of the cross hairs?

[@TheNightVisionShow]

Hi, thats the LRF aiming box.

[@carlsmith8583]

I,v got this on my sub 12, set at 30 yards, got all the ballistics in, perfect at anything under the 30 yards, down to 10 obviously, when I range out past 30 the second cross doesn’t move, just stays on point of aim, won’t move no matter what range I try, am I doing something wrong, cheers

[@TheNightVisionShow]

is the bc turned on ?

[@carlsmith8583]

Yes, it gives me the second aim point under 30 yards, but if I range 45 or 55 for example, ballistic reading just stays in the middle of the normal cross air. Doesn’t give me the old over, very strange as it reads anything below my zero range down to 10 yards.

[@jasonlox27]

do the data input when replacing battery?

[@TheNightVisionShow]

the alpex has 2 internal batteries+plus a removable 18650.

[@jasonlox27]

@@TheNightVisionShowcan the internal batteries be replaced?

[@WEEGIMEDIA]

So with the laser splash can this not be zeroed to the laser box in the same way as you can zero the laser on the ATN ABL ?

[@northwestpestcontrol6377]

No, the LRF is set at factory.

[@TheNightVisionShow]

no its factory set my one is centre of the box at 200 yards. so check where yours is as they are all slightly different

[@WEEGIMEDIA]

That should defo be a firmware upgrade consideration, aiming off and on target to laser is a PITA .

[@TheNightVisionShow]

@@WEEGIMEDIA we have brought this up with HikMicro so I am sure they are on the case.

@@northwestpestcontrol6377 Thanks

[@briansolomon6153]

why didnt the have the ballisic setting in feet per second as most boxes give that not meters per second

still not good it should have been sorted out before going on sale @@terryblenkinsop8329

its coming on the next update

[@michaelhunter3471]

Even easier if you zoom first then freeze frame.

[@TheNightVisionShow]

Hi, thanks for the comment. There are a few ways to do it we do it this way and have the best results.

[@jaseyb1]

Has that alpex scoped mark ,mine has 😂😂😂

[@TheNightVisionShow]

Nor sure what you mean there Jaseyb1?

[@briansolomon6153]

also mine shoots high its zero,d at 100 yds 120 its shooting high surely the could have got it working correc tly b4 putting it on sale

[@TheNightVisionShow]

you will need to tweak the bc or speed and check you inputted fields on the bc page

[@briansolomon6153]

they say its accurate to 1 meter from 1000 meters shame its not accurate at normal hunting ranges shame a good scope but needed sorting out right before going on sale

[@scinner28]

yeah man i feel you and i am just a pcp air rifle shooter .I thought this is it ??I need to buy 1 ....NOT for pcp ..Not for me .I stick to my sytong HT60 ..

we have need had any issues 100 out to 400+ yards works fine.

could u copy the audio next time and make a 2nd track to make fake monno instead of right ear only
