Whitester Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 Just bough the above and as there isn't a huge amount about them thought I'd pass on a bit of first hand experience. So with this combo - Bad Took me ages to get a decent picture, the onboard ir is useless past 30 yards. The picture is not as clear as the photon xt , so a bit grainy. This could possibly be remedied with more ir and more messing about but I doubt it as tried it with my t20. The ledray is not as good as the t20 Blacksun but it's still good enough and its smaller profile makes it easier to fit to the side of the monocular with the standard weaver rail. good despite the picture it is still good enough to pick up a rabbit at 150 yards, a badger easily at 100 yards and roe deer at 100 yards also. So really considering this I think it would pick up a fox at 200 yards no problem and possibly beyond. It's also a handy size and silent in operation with loads of features if that's your thing (video recording, streaming, 6.5 to 13 X zoom etc) with easy controls . So all in all I would of expected the picture to be on par with the photon xt but at £300 not including ir it's not bad as its going to do everything I need it to do, which is spot rabbits and foxes to allow me to get the rifle on them and not get in the way.

Whitester Posted February 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 Had a look on there but couldn't find anything much about this product . It was mostly people raving about some blokes spotter which looked all well and good but it looked bulky and less covert that a monocular. i'm sure that I can get a better picture out of bit when I get used to it.

oldypigeonpopper Posted February 6, 2018 Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 (edited) hello, the 860 RT should do 200 plus yards with full on board I/R setting, it has 3 settings low/medium/high, have you tested all 3? some I/R torches fair better with 860 NM than others, you should get a good picture being digital, i use a T 38 i/r from ludicrous lumins on my 5 X 40 nv mono and being cheaper than the RT still get a reasonable view, if you bought new i would suggest contacting thomas jacks the importer for more help, Edited February 6, 2018 by oldypigeonpopper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitester Posted February 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 Thanks for that just spoke to Thomas jacks. they said that it should work with a good led ir and not to use a laser. They also said to spend a bit of time setting it up using all three focusing controls, only knew about the two obvious one and didn't think about the brightness setting . so I'll persevere because it always takes a while to set things up. just set up the stream Vision and its pretty cool:) tbinkni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
