Thanks for sharing, great tutorial. The Thermal Hotspot tracking feature will place the red dot on the hot heat sources that are in the viewfinder. The dot moves about highlighting the hot spots . All the best

[@greggeis918]

My understanding is the thermal reticle has to be calibrated independently from the day/night vision. Is that what the screen shifting used for? To match the zero on the thermal to the zero on the day/night?

[@davidbraswell1481]

I just got mine today love it already, and have not even powered it up yet. man I tell ya My batteries 2 have been charging since 5pm and its 10:08

[@jimrichards8744]

Great tutorial. So to zero the thermal after zeroing the daytime digital, we just switch to thermal mode, hold the daytime reticle on the target, freeze frame, then move the thermal reticle to same p.o.a.? correct?

[@Craigs_Adventures]

Correct. just switch between the two modes. I invite you to subscribe to the channel if you have not already. I am trying to get to 1000 subscribers. Thanks CLO

Very good.demo

[@donpeer4477]

Thank you for this video. You were much more in-depth with the details than others I've seen! I noticed that you have a Zulus, which I have also, and was wondering how you'd compare NV on them.

[@Craigs_Adventures]

Its about the same. I have not put too much into the looking at the differences between the 2. Stay tuned for more videos coming up with the new scope. I invite you to subscribe if you have not already done so.

[@Craigs_Adventures]

I just received this from DNT about Bluetooth not showing up on the Setting menu. …. This is correct the new units and after you do a Firmware update Bluetooth is not longer used. Ballistics are transferred via wifi and ballistic calculation is unlocked in scope. By doing this you can send over 5 ballistic profiles instead of the one, also by using the inscope calculation instead of the table the inscope is more accurate and adds inclination which account for extreme angles.

[@justsayin7937]

Can you do another one on how to use the ballistics calculator? How to set your distance to get your hold over?

[@justsayin7937]

[@justsayin7937]

@ShotintheDark-lk1ps Do you use your shooting reticle to point at the target when trying to get the range with the range finder or do you point the ranging reticle at the target? The reason i ask is because when pointing the shooting reticle at the target the range is correct, but when pointing the ranging reticle at the target the range finder is reading 120yds at 100yds.

[@justsayin7937]

@ShotintheDark-lk1ps Thanks for the info. I found that the issue I was having is due to the fact i was shooting at a thin target so the LRF was picking up the distance out past the target. If i point at the base of the target on the ground i get correct distances.

[@CeeMaxx-so6rt]

Looks like a scope I can almost afford. A couple of weekends of OT I can get one.

Yeah. 4 hours later after running into other things that aren't in the instructions it still isn't working. I don't care how cheap it is, or how well it works, this isn't worth the hassle. When you talk to them you can let them know there is at least one unit that came back to them because they were to cheap to include directions. No better than the crap you get from China in my opinion.

Question, does the IR light automatically come on when you switch over to night vision?

[@Craigs_Adventures]

@PawPawWall. NO. You can run the night vision without the IR. The IR has 4 levels. OFF, Low Med and High. It also has a narrowing lens on it, so you can use the low level setting and turn the lens to narrow the beam.
