ATN X-Sight

They posted another update, but referencing the UK guys new video, which is nothing more than their last video with them talking in this one.
 
That is pretty funny. The ScottCountry video has been out for a while now, but Youtube just sent out the notices today for the video. So that means that ATN got their notice and reposted. Sheesh, they are behind the curve here as well.

In the time since the first promised delivery date and now, piglets have been born and have grown old enough to have mated and started on the next generation of hogs.
 
Yeah I had seen the video when it came out, They reposted w sound the other day and ATN who can't edit their own video in 2 days, posts it like it is new. I keep badgering them on FB, I am surprised I have not been banned.
 
 
and at what magnification? pretty poor...no reticle in the recorded mode I don't believe.

I wish I know the Top guys at ATN, I would be on the phone to fire all these idiots!
 
I think they are using an illuminator as well based on the reflected light off the glasses. I don't know about the reflective tape, but that may be an indicator as well.

Also notice that it it brighter at 200 yards than 250.

I would also suggest that they are running the guy back and forth on a blacktop to make him stand out better.
 
yes they were using an 850 illuminator that comes w it.
 
In that case, the illuminator is a POS and the imagery is not impressive or the NV capability just isn't that good.

LOL, that was right there in the video and I was watching the guy and not reading the text. That I sat there and tried to figure out the illumination is pretty funny as it illustrates that I missed the stated information, but also because the illumination appears so weak as to make me question whether it was the illuminator or the moon providing the illumination.

200 and 250 yards is a long ways with the wrong illuminator, so I wouldn't be too critical on the video just yet
 
Just real disappointed an amateur video for a corp like ATN, what do they have a bunch of kids running this project?
 
If this whole thing turns out to be a bust. What NV do you guys recommend for the same budget as these?
 
That is just it, there is nothing like this, it is revolutioary
 
Camera, wifi, day/night 1080P HD, all in one pkg, for the price it cannot be beat.
 
yep and kids jumping in the street shows nothing at all.

Not HD, but better in the dark would be the new Photon XT. You would have to put an external DVR with it to record. I handled one this evening and liked it.

Basically, it looks like the X-sight has very poor NV capability even with the IR Illuminator ATN is suggesting for it. That isn't good. It may be beautiful in the daytime, but the night imagery was pretty poor.

The X-sight in B&W will be great to 200-250 and that is all I need. I would have already popped on the Photon but I want an integrated recorder and not another $200 expense. I have already seen all the missed shots using a MDVR from all you folks with pulled out cords, forgetting to turn on and other missteps plus I don't want something else hanging off my rifle. I do admit Dave's new mount may help that somewhat but it is still another expense.
 
I am beginning to think that if they could get it to work, they would have by now.
