That distance entry is the most important feature, You use that with the smart crosshair which is also a ffp crosshair. I think it is the bottom left crosshair in the rectical menu. Once you enter your bullet information into the profile section, the weight, type, velocity, coefficient etc you then select the smart rectical. If you are zeroed at 100 yards you enter your targets range say 60 yards into the scopes distance entry this will give you a teal green dot on your rectical. This dot is your point of aim. So that distance entry is very important indeed. Don't ignore it. Great vid by the way.

Fantastic video! I appreciate you showing video evidence of everything being discussed. This really cleared the air and gave me confidence in my decision for acquisition. Thank you!!!

I love this scope and would love to purchase another (BUT) their Customer service is SUB par.

@@Gideon_Judges6 Weapons issued worldwide today, except that handheld GE M134 minigun with the huge backpack, or at least not the way they used it in the film. In the real world, the M134 minigun weighs 85 lbs, and fires at 2000-6000 rounds per minute using a powerful electric motor, so it's impossible for one man to carry the gun, plus ammo, plus a sufficient power supply. In Predator, Jesse Ventura carries the gun using a special harness. The backpack only has enough ammo in it for 4 seconds of continuous fire, and the power supply is actually a gas generator connected to the gun by a cable that you can actually see in a couple scenes if you look close. It's just too damn much gun for any one person to handle so they did a lot of tricks to make it look possible. Fun fact though, Arnold carries and uses the exact same minigun in Terminator 2, and by exact same, I mean they literally dug up the very same prop gun from Predator and put it in Terminator 2. That makes more sense to me, since Arnold has robot super strength.

Ok. Is it just me, or is everyone else pretty sure whom ever was coming up with the different color schemes for the thermal was a wee bit high? LoL! As for the port covers popping off, yeah that was my concern when I first started looking at it. Two thoughts come to mind while waiting for them to come up with a solution. One simple but a Scout Fix. Other a little more work. For the first one, spread a think coat of lubricant that won't dissolve the rubber on each cap, then cover the entire side with a piece of duct-tape. For the other, rig some connector to the scope-mounts and stretch a piece of rubber across the entire side. Get even more creative and do it to both sides and you'll have extra impact protection. ;-)

Great vid but for zeroing all you need is an a4 shoot n see black sheet, for your shot at the paper and then zero your crosshair to the point of impact, Make your own shoot n see using high vis paper, a laminator, and some black line marker paint.

I have seen ATN thermal scopes in the lower resolution at 1200.00 1400.00 every other manufacturer of thermal scopes start at 3000.00 I can see spending the lower amount for the limited use I would put it through but if I was out eradicating hogs on a regular basis the high priced models would be worth the cost it's nice to at least have a company with a product that is at a more affordable price point for occasionally night hunting coyotes.

Do you still use this scope or have you moved on?

I have a video of this on my channel as well in a similar fashion as this video. To my knowledge there are not thermal scopes that let you have the option to toggle thermal on and off. You can also look into clip on thermal as an option. ATN is releasing something like this as well, and I plan to review that too!

Since the optic uses an app on a smartphone, can you update software through wifi/bt, via the app versus having to remove an sd card?

Do you have a video showing how the ABL 1000/1500 works with the ThOR 4? I'm interested in a solution to the topic where the ABL's reticle does not align to the same spot "on target" with the ThOR 4's reticle. For example, when viewing a target in the viewfinder, it's awkward to have to adjust/move your gun due to the "Position" of the two reticles. In short, the ABL's reticle appears in a different location in the viewfinder as does the ThOR'4 reticle when pressing the Function Key to Range a Target. Assumptions: The ThOR 4's Firmware is up-to-date, the Ballistics data is entered, the scope has been Zeroed via the "One Shot Zero", the devices are Paired, and the Zero ABL step has been performed.

At 4.5x it’s still very capable for taking shots at 50-100 yards with a wide enough field of view to keep shooting when they’re on the run. And you can crank up the magnification for further shots with some resolution loss.

@christiansmith7254

that much zoom is completely useless in the field. For digital optics, you cut your resolution in half with every time you double the zoom. So, 2X and 4X are usable. 6X is stretching it. 8X, 10X, etc above that, you'll never use in the field. Start at 640 and you're at 80 res just after 6X. Thats basically duck hunt on the first nintendo. And thats with a 640 unit. If you're using a 384, it gets worse twice as fast. Looks good on paper, but not functional at all.

is there a thermal out there that is just a thermal scope? (no data card, wifi blutooth..etc.) I just want a bare bones thermal. any ideas?

What kind of batteries does it use? How long do they last? what sort of shelf life? I assume there's not "regular" or Day sight mode so if the batteries run out its a brick then, right? It sounds really neat but I'm wary of anything claiming to be "smart", I mean, after you set it up why would it need updates? seems odd to me...
