THIS VIDEO SHOULD BE THE FIRST ONE TO APPEAR ON THE SEARCH FOR THIS SCOPE. THERE IS SO MUCH GOO INFORMATION ABOIT THIS SCOPE THAT'S ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND. THANK YOU!!
The detail is better with less ambient light, hence the lens cap with hole is limiting the amount of light being admitted inside the scope lens. Thanks for sharing.
The cap with the smaller hole will increase the depth of field, meaning, at one position of the AO ring, objects far and close will be in focus, without the cap, the depth of field is shallower, just like in a camera lens. The closer you are to an object the shallower dof, the higher the magnification, the shallower the dof. Dave & The Girls
Rapidly flipping the cap on and off before the image has a chance to stabilize really doesn't help the test. I noticed in your 3-14 test you paused a lot longer than this test.
Thanks for your feedback Kevin. The 5-20 seems to be a bit snappier (faster) than the 3-14. In the view finder the image seemed to stabilized pretty fast, that was why I flipped it so quickly. Either way you can still see the differences (in this case not very much).
For that purpose , and if you have the 5-20 I suggest get the cap, but don't drill a hole in it. The hole does not help the 5-20 by very much at all. If you have the 3-14, get the cap and drill the hole in it. It help tremendously, however it would give less protection due to the hole.
dont't think so because 1/2 is bigger than 3/8 and the smaller the aperture is the better the contrast. I've tried with 15 mm (about 0.6 inch) and it makes no difference at all.
It supposed to help the image quality, but it did not help very much at all with the 5-20 model. It helps a lot with the 3-14 model. See this video for the 3-14 model. ua-cam.com/video/LvBjmowTexo/v-deo.html

Thanks for your nice comment!
With the cap on, contrast is much improved making the image appear slightly better resolved.

I did on my 3-14. Huge difference
Agreed. Very big difference.

Good clarity at 500yards crisp image!!! With out the cap,seems to be brighter!
Agree!

My best friend, Enjoyed watching this video my friend Really awesome views Thank you Stay connected
wouldn't the caps still be helpful to prevent rain, snow and fogging to occur in poor weather conditions? I'm debating weather or not to buy caps
For that purpose , and if you have the 5-20 I suggest get the cap, but don't drill a hole in it. The hole does not help the 5-20 by very much at all. If you have the 3-14, get the cap and drill the hole in it. It help tremendously, however it would give less protection due to the hole.
Do you think a different size hole would help any more with the 5-20?
Yes, someone had said a 1/2" hole would help the 5-20, but I have not done any test for myself yet.
dont't think so because 1/2 is bigger than 3/8 and the smaller the aperture is the better the contrast. I've tried with 15 mm (about 0.6 inch) and it makes no difference at all.
would love to see this same test at night
The cover does not work for night time. You need all the light you can get at night time.
I thought the atn xsight was for night use what IR are you using
It can be used day and night. The brightest light I have used so far is the hog light coyote cannon. Cheap T67 on eBay or Amazon works OK as well.
old telescope trick,,, you need to refocus with each zoom to really see the difference
So the size of the flip up cap is 0-56?
Butler Creek#48 or Vortex #56
I used the Vortex 56mm for my 3x14. Fits very securely. I drilled a 3/8" hole in the center. Makes a world of difference during the daytime.
These digital scopes are good but you can’t see shit on a sunny day had the atn ltv was good but don’t like sunlight
Have you tried putting on a cap with a hole in it? It helped my 3-14 SIGNIFICANTLY...

What’s the whole purpose for this??
It supposed to help the image quality, but it did not help very much at all with the 5-20 model. It helps a lot with the 3-14 model.
See this video for the 3-14 model.

Would help if you showed the Cap. Old post too.
Thanks for the comment. If you were here 4 years ago, it was a brand new post then... You are late to the party🙂
I used the Vortex 56mm flip cover. I drilled a 3/8" hole in the center. This works great. There really is a noticeable difference in clarity.
Where can get purchase one of this?
Amazon should have them.
Optics planet
speak
spanish ??
No, why?
Hey pal..next time before you make video please take first breakfast than start with job..
Lol... Actually the video was taken in the afternoon. Thanks for the comment🙂
