Hi Ben, just trying to set up a new ballistic calculation on the smart thermal app but when trying to set up new presets NOT from the directory there is no way of saving them. On your video you have a done button to top right hand side which I do not, just next which doesn't safe inputs? Model is a Vidal 360L version V2.1.10 and smart thermal app is 3.1.2 Just wondered if you've come across this issue? Thanks in advance John
I greatly appreciate the drawings thank you
Hi Ben, I've a question off topic you might be able to help me with. I have a ares 660 and I'm trying to find the RAV threshold setting for a 22.250 I've tried several avenues without success. Many thanks Nick.
Gday Nick, Thermtec suggest for the Ares for it to be 220. I haven’t done a lot of testing with the RAV as yet, but I’ll try do some over the next week or so.
@@HuntTheNight many thanks for the info Bwn
Nice looking piece of kit!! I have the TH50 V2 and it is an awesome scope!! Will there be a firmware update for the TH50 V2 for the ballistic calculator? Be nice if this feature was available seen as the V2 hasn't been out that long! Hopefully Infiray don't just forget about there previous products and offer this ballistic calculator function for the V2.
yep thats in the works now. hopefully we'll see it in the next 4-8 weeks.
Hi Ben, hope you are well. Would you happen to know the RAV threshold setting for a 22.250. Cal? Just an appropriate number will help, many thanks Nick.
Thanks for the video. One thing with the phone calculator - it doesn't appear to let me add a 17hmr calculation - when entering the bullet weight, entering 17 gr displays a notice on the screen stating a value of between 20-600 is required? I'm guessing I can edit this in the bc settings on the scope itself after importing?
Would like to see the same zoom test with the 360. Does it hold up clear with the 5 x optical zoom?
What's the chance of it falling of in a chase?
In your opinion this one is better than pulsar telos xp50, or not? Best Regards
Yep, not only is the image quality better, but the ergonomics of the Wild really make it awesome. The Telos is horrible to use being a two handed unit, and it’s big and bulky.
Are there any clip on's that have a LRF and ballistic calculator in them or any coming ?
Had,any experience with the HH35L ?
Great informative video. When are we going to see some more GSCI videos?
Hi Ben that looks a cracking bit of kit mate. I know you said you hard wired it to keep the image clear but how good is the image without hard wiring it? Be nice to see some footage 👍
Hey mate. This isn’t hardwired, all the footage take was over wifi so not hardwired. It’s the best I’ve seen over wifi.
@HuntTheNight my apologies I thought you said it was hard wired. But yeah I agree the footage is insane. I have the 640x habroks which are brilliant but I must admit the image quality of these looks just as good if not better.
Same here it was driving me mad just wouldn’t connect and then my sister worked it out straight away… something so simple.
Ben what ones got the best image through the eyepiece and record quality these days, does Pulsar still win out in image quality?
Nah this has the best image all round
@@HuntTheNight Wow ok, are they going to bring out an optical zoom variant you think?
Interesting idea with the single handed operation and joystick, nice
The focusing is a little bit like using accolades. I really miss that feature in my mergers
Very impressive Ben. Love the intro. 😂
One of my all time favorite movies :)
Great video what’s your thoughts on the talon xq35 pro I dont see any videos of it here in aus and all the reviews aren’t very helpful I’ve put a deposit for one to throw on a tikka in 300wsm
I’m not a fan of them at all. Really don’t like the design
@HuntTheNight what about the functionality. Can you spot a squirrel easily with it in day time? On tree
Is there any chance that a full review on these are going to be done anytime soon?
what is the minimum distance that the lrf still functions on this model? i do loads of ratting with airguns and it seems hard to find thermals that range under the 10m
Hey mate. It’s 10m
can this handle the recoil from a airrifle springer? like the shaddow 1000 gammo?
Just got one of these scopes. Your clear instructions & advice have been valuable to me. Thankyou.
i have both the Zoom 38 and a FL35. Interesting how the ZH has a larger field of view when they both have a very close base mag of around 3.2 ( when the ZH is on 38 mm)
Great video!!!!! I’ve been considering getting into thermal scopes, but I just avoided it due to their cost and not knowing what I really needed to do the job I wanted it for. This really was a very informative video!!!!!!!!
Hi Ben, just another quick question regarding the 660, do you know how to turn on the RAV system? Ive only discovered the unit has this feature after downloading and printing off the user manual. I cant remember seeing this in any of the menu settings, many thanks Nick.
I've updated the scope today Ben and it now appears in the settings
Excellent. I was going to say it’s in an update :)
Absolutely briliant way to make this work.Great job man.Thank you but this wont help you when you go further than 100m.
Not great quality on this scope
Yeah it’s not what it could have been
Mine use to have gravity sensor but I can’t find it
Hkobvcv
I have just fitted on to my meopta 4.5-27 and even at base zoom i cant see any menu or option buttons if i attempt to zoom in all i see is pixels i love the optic but dont want to use as not a clip on any suggestions?
Can you buy this mount somewhere
What caliber rifle?
Listened to this again , great review , PinP useful too
Very nice, good to see the QD mount included, big boxes ticked with this one. Cant wait for them to bring out a short form factor equivalent.
🥴
Awesome picture Ben. That 18mk senor would be good for me up here in the humidity. I want one but i might wait to see if they integrate the LRF. All the best mate Cheers Mal
Great but they need to get with the program and up the base mag. 3.5 plus please
Not sure what you mean by "get with the program", but the only way to increase base mag is to increase lens size. The issue with 1280 sensors is they are so big they have a very wide field of view so need bigger lenses. But if you want a 640 scope at 4x base mag then this is the one as at 2x digital zoom it'll be 4x and running as a 640. You see this in the Pulsar XL50 which is 1.75 mag as they stuck to a 50mm lens.
Has the Vidar got all the same features and is it better
Yes I much prefer the Vidar, but it didn't exist when I did this video
@@HuntTheNight will contact your office and discuss the vidar 660 Monday
Hi Ben, im zeroing at 100 yrds so looking at the target is rather small at base mag like shownon your video. You say in the video that zooming in should be done before you freeze so does this mean i have to zoom before i bring up the main menu? Cheers Nick.
Gday Nick, I would zoom in and shoot at the target, then when I go into zeroing you can also zoom in there. Make sure you zoom in before you do freeze, then adjust the x/y. Hope that makes sense.
@@HuntTheNight cheers Ben that makes sense 👍 many thanks again from Northumberland, Northern England.
IS there ballistic calculator for precise aiming point ?
No it doesn’t. The new MAH50R has a range finder which will provide you a ballistic solution, it cannot give you a precise aim point as they do not have a reticle
@@HuntTheNight we Can add ILR (rangefinder) module to MAH50
@BONSAI578 yes that’s what this video is about. But this LRF does not give you ballistic solutions
Dont wanna tell you how to suck eggs but if the rf marks is accurate to where the range splash is working. Doesnt that mean your ranging 54 yards at the tree behind the box? And not the box itself?
This is what I thought, the ranging is off in the video, he's actually ranging behind the box which is likely adding another couple yards. This will explain the difference. So actually the standard ballistic calculator seems to be spot on without the need to adjust the BC
Is parallax adjustable scope needed as its front mounted?
Not needed but does help clear the image up a little.
@HuntTheNight thanks for reply. 👍
Nice review mate, I hope they do 1 last update on the TQ50 1.0 giving it zoompro and the warm colour stuff. That would make me a Hikmico fanboy :)
Hello, how do I set it to 0?
So this thing is no good, and is garbage?
correct
@hunthenight Do the IOM attachments solely give you eye relief and magnification? Are there any other benefits compared to using the built in digital zoom functions of the MAH50 itself?
Any tricks to help lower the reticle? Mine stops on Y axis at -5, but even at its lowest, it is still too high and I am not able to get it down to the point of impact. All help appreciated.
i need a review on the vidar 660L it's could be my next hand held thermal
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,//👍
Hi Ben great review as always, re the quick detach mount you mentioned the return to zero is pretty good? In the past you haven’t been a fan of the mounts supplied by the manufacturer, do Rusan make a quick detach mount for the Vidar? Thanks again
Yeah this is actually a good mount and I’m very happy with it. I haven’t looked for a different one as it’s been great. I’ve got a return to zero test somewhere as well which I’ll post.
