Zulus non lrf

I finally received one of my Zulus. The LRF version showed up first of course. I wear glasses with progressive bi-focus and I could not focus on the reticle, had to dig up a single vision lens to finally get the thing dialed in. After that my progressives sufficed. All I can say is wow....so light and handy on my mutant. Very cool.
 
I sold my sightmark wraith 2-16 to fund a dnt zulus. The zulus I picked was without lrf because $306 from tac-panda.....$200 less than a lrf version

I dont have the dnt yet but am wondering how big of a deal the lrf is? I'm sure the zulus will out class the sightmark unit if only by weight alone.

Somewhat excited to try the zulus!
Non LRF is a good option if you're going to keep things close and dont need quick adjustments. Say 50yds and in.

I got my Zulus V2 Friday and set it up yesterday. Not sure I'm a fan of the built in memory. I did the firmware update and then received a memory card error (with no way to swap it for a good one) and it wouldn't record. Luckily, I was able to clear it by rebooting the scope and it all seems to be working well now, but what happens if it fails in the future? I like the new menu system, but not sure why they had to flip-flop all the controls on the top of the scope, it makes it confusing when you have a couple Zulus V1's and know where the buttons are and what they do! I haven't compared the video recordings yet, but I don't really notice a big difference with the internal view. I'm not sure it's worth the extra $100 for the V2.

Another oddity... The 21700 batteries that come with it are just a tad narrower than the 21700 batteries sold on Amazon. I have ordered two separate sets of 21700 batteries and both sets won't fit in the battery compartment of the Zulus V2. So, if these batteries that came with the V2 die, you may be out of luck ordering replacements from anywhere but DNT! And, if the memory dies or gets corrupt, and it's outside the warranty, it may be an expense to replace it if it has to be sent in to do so. The one positive I found, it does connect to my phone a lot better than the V1, but so far that's the only real improvement I'm seeing... I kind of regret getting the V2, and I wish I had just spent the few dollars more and gotten the V1 LRF model.

Or just dial in the ballistic app, verify it with real world results and learn your holdovers… with a 75y zero and shooting 960-980fps my barra 250z is super flat to 100y… like .08mil hold… to 200y it’s like 7.9mil…I’ve shot squirrels out to 125y like that. Best headshot is 110y

I have to agree with your misgivings. The refresh rate seems less than the v1 products, that alone is a great minus. My screen video looks nothing like some footage I've seen on YT. Unless there are some settings that need tweaking......

my 4th V1 NLR being the only 3-12 i have ordered was attempted to be delivered monday but an incompetent stand-in usps deliverer
didnt see that i have electronic signature and refused to leave package and now its in limbo.
there system is down is what there excuse is......i told them, why should i suffer for your problems !!
no telling when i will get it. i tried to pick it up today but they close at 1500.......no dice !!
my regular usps carrier would not have been such an extra and would have placed it in my big lock box at the farm.
so easy, but so much BS from usps😒
 
Well the image processing differs between v1 and v2 to my eye. It is most notable when panning across a field of veiw. The v2 has a synchronous chop or studder of maybe a half or third of a second. The v1 has a slight shudder when panning but its random and closer together, more fluid ...not nearly as noticeable. I'm at a loss as to a remedy.

that sounds like a lack of vsync in the display. vsync on can be a few more milliseconds of delay, vsync off results in tearing during hi motion changes.
