Electronic leveling system

[Redick]

Anyone seen this or familiar with this level. Looks 2020ish and cool.

Man' are they proud of that thing.Want and get are two different things i guess.

Pricey, but they work. Sensitivity is adjustable, can be used vertically or horizontally. Easier to see w/o taking your focus from the target/reticle than a bubble level. It's been out for more than a year, maybe 2.

Very neat looking. Wonder how easily it attaches/detaches; looks like it would make handling the gun or putting it in a soft case take more care.

The base version has a choice of using a thumb screw or a hex head screw to clamp it to your picatinny rail. There is a new universal mount version; I think that still attaches to the pic rail but I’m not sure about that.

If you have it mounted horizontally, it does stick out a bit. The new mount gives you more options on how to fit it.

I would just keep it at a simple bubble level like the lo-pro version from Vortex. Or when you shoot firearms with a big bang that divides the bubble into thousand small ones due to the recoil I would get the accuracy first version. These digital ones are nice but in most cases way to nervous due the trip level to get out of the green zone can be very low.

I also don't see a sensitivity angle, temperature shift or calibration interval specified?? These sensors aren't faultless and have a correction curve on certain specifications that can be quite important for accuracy. This type of sensors drift anyhow over time and will need re-calibration every (few) year(s) to guarantee correctness.

The sensitivity is adjustable. You can calibrate as often as you like,(but after using them for more than a year, I have only found calibration necessary when doing a new install or re-mounting. The stuff about corrections, drift etc. is all sounds like wild speculation about a product you have not actually tried.

Use what you like. I mostly use these on powder burners, but have also found them useful on pellet guns. As I said above, I find it easier to see a green led w/o re-focusing than to read a bubble level.

Those ‘wild speculations’ come from experience as an electronics designer with designs that required high precision sensors

But thanks for the other corrections on sensitivity and calibration for this product, think I misread the first time about how the calibrations works on a website but looked at their own website and it’s clear now.

Indeed just use what you like
