- Does it need re-zeroing after fitting?
- No. It clips in front of an already zeroed day scope, so the scope's zero stays as it was. Check the collimation on paper the first time you fit it.
- Can it be used without a scope?
- Yes. It works as a handheld monocular for spotting, and it can be mounted on a helmet or rail with the right adapter.
- Is the IR illuminator visible to animals?
- It uses 940 nm infrared, which most game cannot see. Other night-vision users with IR-sensitive gear may still detect it.
- How does it compare with a thermal clip-on?
- It is cheaper and shows detail and recognition better under IR, but it needs illumination and cannot pick out heat signatures the way thermal does.
- What comes in the box?
- The clip-on unit, a mount, a battery, a USB cable and a carry case. A microSD card is not always included, so check before you rely on recording.
- Can it record video?
- Yes, it records video and takes photos to a microSD card, which is useful for reviewing shots and confirming targets.
