On your unit, with the lrf, will the ballistic calculator show a corrected impact point on the view screen?

So you have 2 options one called dial in which will move the reticle to ranged distance, and the other which is hold over which keeps your reticle in place but adds a red has mark or aim point for ranged distance.

Anybody got any updates on their experience with the Arken Zulus-LRF?

I set it up the other day and see the hold over information etc. I have not had the chance to test it out yet. I will link some videos I have seen.

Thanks, good to know the hardware is there. I have not seen anywhere online that advertises angle compensation with the ballistic calculations, so hopefully it’s just a software update.

Anyone else having an issue getting a video image on an iPhone? I can see the reticle but, beyond that it's black. I can get an image through the scope. Cancel that, turn off Cellular Data, works great.

How tight is the eye relief? I don't hunt at night just wanting to record my hunts during the day.
Thanks

It is forgiving in my eyes. The closer to the unit the better but there is definitely some wiggle room. It takes great day videos as well.

I feel its tight, my eyebrow touches the rubber eyecup. For me, what I see through viewfinder is not as sharp as the image on shown on my tablet. I purchased mined to reside on a dedicated rifle and for a specific feature night vision. I added a zip tie to the focus ring on the objective. The upright tail helps keep my hand from blocking the IR light. Adjusting the focus at night with my left hand blocked the IR beam, hence the zip tie. Circumstances and cold weather have tempered my zeal. Awaiting warmer Spring and Summer nights to put the Zulus to the pesting test.

I take the rubber eye piece off on all my night scopes the exposed light has never spooked any game just my preference. I actually find it opposite the I screen image always seems a tad better than the video playback.

When using a Wraith Mini lent to me by @Redtick12, on my first night outing I was skunked because I didn’t use the rubber eyecup. The reflection from the screen off my eyeball spooked the rats. The second outing with my eye plastered to the eyecup? The rats were not so lucky. Am currently finding the focus to be quite finicky on my Zulus; and will post an honest, users’ assessment after I’ve given it a fair chance. That said, it could never be a primary scope in my stable, particularly for daytime use. I purchased it for nighttime pesting and it’s how I will ultimately judge mine.
