10 Best Nikon Night Vision Scopes

Grandi problemi con il software si blocca molto spesso…. il primo acquisto già restituito e rimborsato! Ho acquistato un’altro pesava che funzionasse meglio ma nulla le stesse problematiche….spero che ATN riuscirà a migliorare con il prossimo aggiornamento del software…. sinceramente mi trovo meglio con il vecchio X-Sight 2 5-20 non consiglio

Pretty awesome scope !!! Night time is crystal clear !

PREFACE – Before buying I literally read every single review on Amazon and read countless others on other websites, along with numerous videos. So below I will also address some of the previous concerns I’d read about from other reviewers (Spoiler Alert – ATN has obviously fixed or corrected everything thing that I’d read about). 😉

NIGHT VISION – Is Amazing!!!
Basically, the night vision I’m seeing certainly seems to be VERY comparable to other “Night Vision” Scopes that cost MUCH more ($2K to $3K). So I am VERY impressed so far. Also unlike “regular optical night vision” (which is green) this system (which looks gray scale) does NOT get damaged if left out in the sun, nor does it have to be protected from light. Plus, the same scope is used during the day (double bonus). And, even when the infra-red illuminator is OFF…I was actually surprised…it was still MUCH better than I thought it would be (it does NOT need much light to be effective). So then, when the infra-red Illuminator is turned ON (even at its lowest power)….it really lights up everything like it is daylight when it is pitch dark. I am SUPER impressed.It’s so good, I’m going to mount it to Quick Disconnect Rings, so I can use it as a Night Vision Monocular (even when not attached to a firearm or airgun.

MULTIPLE ‘PROFILES’ –
What a game changer…something only a digital scape can do. Essentially, a person can enter different Profiles for different firearms or Airguns and/or ammo…and with a Quick Disconnect (sold separately) it with be a cinch to switch.

MICRO SD (sold separately, I got a SanDisk Ultra Plus 64GB)
It is important to READ all instructions (which I did), where my friend did not. He and few reviews said they had Micro SD problems…well it’s important to do the Formatting in the Scope (it likes that). Plus, it will also be nice, as a person can “backup” their profiles to the Micro SD card, too.

FIRMWARE UPDATES –
Again, it’s important to READ all instructions…every single thing I’d read about or saw as an early model 2018 “glitch” has obviously been addressed with Firmware Updates. There was a Firmware Update for mine…and right away I got a super cool “Smart Reticle” that I did not have 1 minute earlier. So follow the instructions. And that “Smart Reticle” changes as you Zoom…again, things that only a digital scope can do.

TWO (2) LIL’ ISSUES – That Oliver Vallero at ATN Corp Clarified and Fixed for Me…
The USB A to USB-C charging cable that came was way too big to fit in the Scope’s USB-C slot. My buddy that also bought one, a day after I told him about mine…his also came with a USB-C that was too big. He and I are both Apple Techs, so we know it was not a matter of being tight…it was too big. Yet, being and Apple Level III Tech we both had other USB-C cords I/we could use until Oliver sends out a new cable. Plus, I supposed I could have cut away on the plastic on the USB-C end, but I’ll wait and see. 2nd thing…Oliver mentioned that the Manual’s suggested torque of 38 in.-lbs. was too MUCH for the Fixing Screw. So for everyone out there use 22-25 in.-lbs. / 2.485-2.824 Nm for the 30mm Scope Fixing Screw…and for the 30mm Scope Ring Screws, use 15 in.-lbs. / 1.694 Nm. Then finally, for the Infra-Red Illuminator use 22-25 in.-lbs. / 2.485-2.824 Nm for the Fixing Screw, and the Infra-red Illuminator Ring Screws use 12 in.-lbs. / 1.355 Nm.

PHOTOS & VIDEOS –
I’m really not planning on using it for photo’s or recording video to the SD card (but broadcasting to an iPad might be interesting with shooting buddies).

WI-FI & ATN OBSIDIAN 4 App (Tips & Tricks) –
The Obsidian 4 App is great for me and works GREAT with the iPhone 11 Pro. I’ve got it set up with a mount that holds my iPhone 11 Pro around my neck and puts the screen where I can see it like a heads up display w/no-hands…so for hunting rats at night…I just put the Umarex Synergis w/ATN X-Sight 4K Pro on a Tripod w/a Vanguard U-Yoke ($14.99 w/Free shipping) and I do NOT even have to look through the scope…I can just watch my iPhone and when the rats come out…POP. This is sooooooo cool!

Well, that was long and detailed, but that’s me…hope it helps others! 🙂
