If that's an arken zulus I can tell you it's awsome. I have the lrf version on an ar15. The ballistic calculator is spot on out to the 300 yards I've tested it to. The built in illuminator works well out past 250 yards. I bought a bigger illuminator but I don't think it's much better than the built in unit. Can't wait to watch the video!

My opinion is $2K for night vision & $5K+ for thermal night vision, is not budget friendly. Not my budget, anyway! So, $500.00 or less for a good Day / Night vision is really nice, and quazi affordable.
Though that's probably a good unit, Ima have to stick with my RIX thermal 384 resolution. $2300 from @Outdoor Legacy in Texas. No tax and free shipping. Glad to see all the manufacturers upping their game and making them more affordable for the average joe.
From my experience all similar products, including thermal scopes(even expensive) do change zero due to the temperature changes... 10 C difference is more than enough to move your group sometimes 2 inches, it is not too much, however in case you would want too shoot at 300m , than it could move 6 inches.... I would love to see some testing---like using it at a range very early in the moorning when it is cold and than in the afternoon when it is much warmer and than compare the zero...(start your test this way: switch your scope on and allow it to absorb the outside temperature for at least 20 minutes. than shoot a group) We could be surprised..., or not, who knows without testing ? Sorry for my english I live in Europe.
@@mirekslechta7161 What optic are you using? I run an iRay Rico 640 hog hunting in Texas and have gone from below freezing temps to the upper 80's from one week to the next and never noticed a POI shift. Never heard anyone I hunt with mention it either. Could be a problem with your optic. Keep in mind too, temperature can do odd things with temp sensitive powders and barrel harmonics.
@@chrisrosenthal1210 I have Infiray 50mm 640- probably the same as you ? When you shoot a pig , you might not notice...pig is a big target. We use C degrees, not Farenh.. POI is changing... depending on temperature. When the temperature goes up, POI goes down... Therefore I have OC degree as one profile, Than I have +10C as the second profile and +16C as the third profile. From my testing, changes are not huge at 100m, but at 200m it is very noticeable.
@@mirekslechta7161 But I hunt open fields and cattle ranches with a Grendel or a 6.5 needmoor. They're a small target at 400 meters lol I've just never noticed it.
@@chrisrosenthal1210 OK, maybe I have a bit diferent scope(model). At 400 yards you would notice any change. But try to keep record of your scope data when you sight it in from time to time. Try to sight it in at the same distance , with the same ammo and always write the air temperature and scopes numbers for X and Y... If you sight your rifle in several times per year, than changes are small, however the numbers may show the pattern... For Y in winter I have smaller number than in summer..., because my scope(rifle with it) shoots higher with smaller numbers and without any adjusting to temperature changes my rifle shoots higher in lower temperatures.... However I used to have Pulsar Trail and it was shooting much lower in winter than in summer. (opposite pattern when compared to my INFIRAY)
About a year ago I bought the Arken Zulus HD 5-20R Day/Night Digital scope with laser rangefinder and ballistic calculator. I takes great video of your hunt. And you’re right about being affordable.
Whoteewho I have a Bone to pick with you! How dare you show a product so effing cool I have to have it even when I 'm not sure what I am going to use it for! Damn you! With your exemplary salesmanship skills! Whoteewho do you think you are anyway? Ohhhh the cunning, diabolical nature of your Videos. Sure you just drop a few crumbs, and when I swoop in to look? Bamm, I'm buying something else! Very crafty. I'm watching you! Ok seriously, you do a great job on your videos. Actually looks like a Coyotes worst nightmare.
Do you know if they're made in China? I'm guessing yes. Just curious. I like to avoid stuff made in China specifically, for obvious reasons, but I need to utilize night vision for predators and I don't have the budget to put aside $2000+
@@corneliusthecrowtamer1937 I care about quality not where something is from. That's like me asking you where you're from before I have a conversation with you. lol. Doesn't matter bro. Your cell phone and everything else is from CHINA!
@@theflypilot Some people are old enough to remember when people had the same stigma with Japan. Back in the 1960s stuff from Japan meant it was cheap junk, and that all started to change by the 1980s, now Japanese made is synonymous with quality. It's happening with China too. My mechanic told me 15 years ago he would have told customers to avoid Chinese made goods regardless of the price, cheap cast pot metal parts full of air bubbles that would break, but today.... he said it's as good as American made but a fraction of the price, and that's the honest truth. Sad, but it is what it is, and I'm not a rich man, I'm buying the best value for the money.
I have had the Zulus for a little over a month. Several range trips, filming with it at night in the backyard, and had it out the other night trying to catch up tonsome pigs, and i am loving it. We had out at my lease looking for pigs and I could see over 200yds to the end of my lane, in some hardwood bottoms. No ambient light what so over. The IR emitter was great.
I have too many thermal and IR scopes & spotters NOT to appreciate this. High points IMO: native mag, LRF w/calc (a must), cost, and the control buttons/menu appear to be easy to learn. (ATN, take note lol) WTW's review said enough. btw, ~15 min for the video, about that much to order mine with LRF and ballistic calc, and 20 min to review/edit this. Oh, and use the 'whoteewho' code like I did for the discount before they find out about him. 😉
Yep definitely getting one! THANKS for the info I've been wanting to buy night vision just didn't want to spend the big $$$$ bucks.. HECK FOR THIS PRICE I CAN BY 2 and still be saving money
Just received mine last week, tried it out on a 17 HMR rifle this weekend and I'm impressed! Pretty sure I have sold two of my uncles on getting these also! The day mode is crystal clear, and the night mode is unreal clear. I set up a target in the daylight and ranged it with my sig rangefinder, later in the pitch black darkness ranged it with the zulus LRF and it was only 1 yard difference between the two! The one shot zeroing is pretty sweet, takes a bit to learn all the features and what not, but once up and running very easy to operate. Setting up the ballistics calculator and sending to the scope is easy, recording video / audio is awesome. One word to describe this zulus day / night optic is.... amazing! This was my first arken product and I'll be purchasing a few more!
Whotee because of your video I went ahead and bought one of these. Adding to the "addiction" lol Thanks for the discount and for providing an honest review.
I recieved my Arken. I should have watched you a little more closely in the beginning of this video. I WAS DUMBFOUNDLY IMPRESSED, MAGNETLY SEALED BOX!!!! LOL After I learned the logic of operations and went out in the daylight. WOW. Then went out at night and DOUBLE WOW... I havent mounted yet because a deal with wifey, scope for new "blocked landscaped fancy flower bed of equal value" this has cost me double!!! Dang flowers are expensive!!! AND I am behind schedule and Sore!!! LOL 4X20 FLOWER BED 2 block high,capped and done right.. I am sure when it is mounted I will be happy as a meadow lark.. cant wait to blast a coyote with it and watch it from the record function on the scope! Truly this has impressed me and that is a hard thing to do. Thanks a big bunch WhoTee!!! And my wifey thanks you.. too lol
that's pretty cool and within my price range. I'm hesitant to mention it after the kel tec, I know you don't like that gun much. I just got a vska ak47 it was 700. not the cheapest out there but not far from it. there's a lot of smack talk regarding these rifles and I don't agree. right off, you would not like the trigger in my opinion. everything else, the fit the finish the milling the wood furniture the materials it made from are all good, I don't get it. I basically took it out the box and started shooting. I was only shooting soda cans at 50 yards but with no problems with accuracy and ran perfect. I'm gonna need another sight post, it's hard for me to see, getting old, it's a drag. the grip is kinda small and chince, no doubt you won't like that either. I like good deals, I feel vska is reasonable for this time, and its American. I see no reason why Americans can't make Russian guns as good or better than the Russians themselves. sorry dude, I didn't mean to write a book in the comment section.
I currently have three Arken scopes on my rifles and they are amazing!!! Price point is absolutely insane for a FFP optic. Planning on putting the Zulus on my 6.8 spc for hog and coyote hunting. I let a buddy use my lupo with the EP5 5-25x56. He went and bought himself one the next day!!
Watched yesterday (3/27) shortly after the video went live. Ordered one, noticed it said lead time was 6-8 weeks, got notice it was shipped today! :D WHO_TEE_WHO!!!!!
Dude you rock... Been watching your videos now for over a year.. Dig the fact that you are a normal everyday dude like myself.. Keep up the great work and I just ordered my optic with the range finder.. I have been buying Arken since the SH-4 came out a couple years ago.. I put it on my 10/22 I buoght in 1994 from K-Mart..😂 I juiced up with a happy chassis, trigger and other goodies when I bought the sh-4.. I think this new digital is going to find a home on the old 10/22 and kick off the sh-4.. Keep up the great job.. Best Regards, Pottsy from Built By Pottsy llc 😎💪🇺🇲
I currently have 4 Arken scopes and in my opinion can’t be beat for anywhere near the price. I can’t see spending $4000 or more personally. I’ve been looking at their night vision, just haven’t ordered yet but probably will very soon. Thanks for your review on this Arken night vision.
@MattD01 I looked at them a couple times because they're very affordable and actually available but the reviews aren't the best. I'm planning on hunting with mine so I want it decently accurate
Hey brother I thank you for your awesome video on this day/night scope. I’ve had my eye on several night scopes over the last 12 years and I’ve finally pulled the trigger on this one, just ordered the scope you’re reviewing. Can’t thank you enough brother for the heads up this puppy is going on my Daniel Defense M4A1 5.56 CANT WAIT!
They have a model that is coming out sometime with the thermal and day and night scope also. Not sure how much it will be but sure it will be affordable for everything you will be getting.
Sight in at 100 and use the calculator since it works great.... just my opinion. Also I think the calculator would be useful on a 22lr or air rifle which has alot more bullet drop than a center fire.

Sorry for my engish I live in Europe.
You might as well go ahead and get a full body snuggle pillow for your wife brother lol The first year of having night capabilities and you're going to be gone a LOT lol It wears off after a while. When I started thermal hunting hogs here in Texas, I was gone all the time :P Not sure of the range on that one, but look into a more powerful IR and battery. You will not believe how much difference it makes with any NV optic. I run thermals, but have friends that have NV and increasing the IR will quadruple the range or more. Basically you'll be able to see as far as you throw light.
Already got the Ruger American in 300 blackout on the list with the shoosh can “(30). This is gonna top it off! 👍 thank ya whoteewho!! This is gonna be my pig smacker. Also my 8 year old old son’s first gun😂
How's it mount to your favorite pew pew platform? Is the body made of high quality or crappy aluminum? Good stuff can't wait to see more of this little bit of tech!!! Thanks for sharing!!
Ordered one about a month ago and they got back to me saying it’ll be another few weeks. Not happy with that, but I used your discount code, so thank you, and hopefully I’ll see it sooner rather than later. Not holding my breath. I hope I don’t get the lemon of the next batch 🤣
Dang it Who Tee Who theres goes another $500 flying outta my Wallet ! I gotta stop hanging around you you costing me money 💰! 😂 That’s Sweeeeeee Tee Sweet ! 👍🏼😁👍🏼
Shaaazam!! Man I'm always lookin at them tryna talk myself into it, maybe a game changer. Dont know how I missed this since I call myself keepin tabs on ya. Cant wait to see how it handles boolats
I wonder if it would work on a spring piston air rifle because I live around a lot of farms and firearms are not good to use in or around barns and homes
Hello, I don't know why people always say how you can use night vision for daytime and nighttime. We DO NOT need them for daytime! We can see just fine without them in daytime.
Does it have it's own infrared light emitter or is it just capturing ambient light? Different technology altogether? I know almost nothing about night vision, simply because it's so stupidly expensive. I was looking at that mono-tube 2nd gen that a lot of people sell and you're 3 grand in just for the tube as far as I can tell. Then you need the head mount dealy, then IR light emitter, etc and it ends up around 5-6k for the cheapest one on the market. So I've never even bothered learning about it... Been saving for a thermal scope, but man, I think I could buy one of these right now! If they're even somewhat durable (surely they aren't water-proof and built like a tank, right?!) then $500's a steal. I'd love to have night capability and a range finder in one... Guess I need to go check their site out. Almost seems too good to be true.
Digital camera/ with emitter. Nightmare wraith has been around for years at the $509.00 price point, often on sale around 375.00. Good quality for what it is.
I emailed Arken Optics USA regarding availability of the 3-12x. They replied, "I do not have any release information for the US. It is a possibility that it will not be released to the US. Sorry for the inconvenience." Any thoughts?
Umm, now I’m interested. Does it come with a riser for the Picatinny rail, if not wonder if it’s available. I searched on Arken Optics website, they out of stock. I have to have this. I’m paying 3 to 5 grand for night vision scope. Thanks bro for the info and the video.

Hi from the UK, absolutely awesome bit of kit. Incredible image during the day and easily usable out to 300 yards at night👍

So, $500.00 or less for a good Day / Night vision is really nice, and quazi affordable.
I bought the Sightmark Wraith mini 4-16x about 6 months ago for $379. It’s pretty decent, but heavy as hell…
@@luckymanham302 I saw those, at that price and almost got one. How good is it? And how heavy is it?

Just the video I need! About to put together a 6mm ARC, with a night vision optic. To bad thermal ain't cheap.
Which barrel and bcg are you going with
I put a Oneleaf on my 224 Valkyrie, I love it!
@snoopywl8880 honestly thinking about going with bear creek arsenal because they are only about an hour from where I live here in NC.
@MattD01 I looked at them a couple times because they're very affordable and actually available but the reviews aren't the best. I'm planning on hunting with mine so I want it decently accurate
Hey brother I thank you for your awesome video on this day/night scope. I’ve had my eye on several night scopes over the last 12 years and I’ve finally pulled the trigger on this one, just ordered the scope you’re reviewing. Can’t thank you enough brother for the heads up this puppy is going on my Daniel Defense M4A1 5.56 CANT WAIT!
FYI I also used your code ‘WHOTEEWHO’ and saved 25% which is fantastic as well.
Thanks for watching
I can't wait for Arken to come out with an affordable thermal if there will ever be such a thing.
They have a model that is coming out sometime with the thermal and day and night scope also. Not sure how much it will be but sure it will be affordable for everything you will be getting.
Sight in at 100 and use the calculator since it works great.... just my opinion. Also I think the calculator would be useful on a 22lr or air rifle which has alot more bullet drop than a center fire.
From my experience all similar products, including thermal scopes(even expensive) do change zero due to the temperature changes... 10 C difference is more than enough to move your group sometimes 2 inches, it is not too much, however in case you would want too shoot at 300m , than it could move 6 inches.... I would love to see some testing---like using it at a range very early in the moorning when it is cold and than in the afternoon when it is much warmer and than compare the zero...(start your test this way: switch your scope on and allow it to absorb the outside teperature for at least 30 minutes. than shoot a group) We could be surprised..., or not, who knows without testing ? Sorry for my engish I live in Europe.
I like Arken. Good glass. Because of you I’m gonna get this. My wife says thanks a lot 🤣
You might as well go ahead and get a full body snuggle pillow for your wife brother lol The first year of having night capabilities and you're going to be gone a LOT lol It wears off after a while. When I started thermal hunting hogs here in Texas, I was gone all the time :P Not sure of the range on that one, but look into a more powerful IR and battery. You will not believe how much difference it makes with any NV optic. I run thermals, but have friends that have NV and increasing the IR will quadruple the range or more. Basically you'll be able to see as far as you throw light.
I've got nightforce, ior valdada, good stuff, I got the Arkin 5\24 scope and they work, loaded optics...
MONSTER THANKS,, I'm sooo buying it,, I've been waiting forever for this at THIS price
Already got the Ruger American in 300 blackout on the list with the shoosh can “(30). This is gonna top it off! 👍 thank ya whoteewho!! This is gonna be my pig smacker. Also my 8 year old old son’s first gun😂
Pretty decent unit for the price. I'm sure you will update us on the accuracy testing. Well, please update us.
Wow! Anxious to watch you test that baby!!!
Hey Ken! I can't wait
One of those Night/Thermal Combo Scopes is on my dream list.
Yup I’ve always wanted night vision for my rifle but they were just too expensive, now I’m getting this one!
I found the Arken Zulu quite amazing for the price! Night time varmint tacking ...YES! The chickens are grateful for the Zulu.....LOL!
Very cool brother thank you for the Intel and the 25% off discount code your the man 👍
Thanks for watching
Yep a must have, whoteewho baby!! Thanks!!
How's it mount to your favorite pew pew platform? Is the body made of high quality or crappy aluminum? Good stuff can't wait to see more of this little bit of tech!!! Thanks for sharing!!
👍 It seems like a great ir day/night scope for the money. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching
Love my Arken glass on my rifles!! Thx for the heads up, didn’t know they had those….new glass in the future for sure and thx for the discount code!!
👍👍
You always out do yourself, thank you
Really glad you got that. I can't wait to see more videos with you testing it! Maybe some hunts and not just targets...hint😁
Ordered one about a month ago and they got back to me saying it’ll be another few weeks. Not happy with that, but I used your discount code, so thank you, and hopefully I’ll see it sooner rather than later. Not holding my breath. I hope I don’t get the lemon of the next batch 🤣
Can't beat em for the price!
Thanks for all the great videos,and the code I just used it an ordered one for myself.
Thanks for watching
Just waiting for mine to be delivered today, I'm as excited as a 5yr old on Christmas Day!!!
Awesome
Dang it Who Tee Who theres goes another $500 flying outta my Wallet ! I gotta stop hanging around you you costing me money 💰! 😂
That’s Sweeeeeee Tee Sweet ! 👍🏼😁👍🏼
These have been available for about a year, I figured I’d wait for the bugs to be gone. Maybe it’s time to pull the trigger.
Time to add more hog n coyote huntin to the roster now Buddy.
Thank you so much for this video! I think I want one of those right now!
Shaaazam!! Man I'm always lookin at them tryna talk myself into it, maybe a game changer. Dont know how I missed this since I call myself keepin tabs on ya. Cant wait to see how it handles boolats
I wonder if it would work on a spring piston air rifle because I live around a lot of farms and firearms are not good to use in or around barns and homes
I'd assume so
Great info. Can't wait to see the follow-up video while shooting.
Stay tuned
Done deal! Thank you, Sir.
I'll be hitting the plasma center every week to afford one of those bootimus scopes.
I ordered one as soon as I seen the night footage 🎉😂
thats awesome, especially to an old revolver boy, Thanx
I’m currently saving for some analog NV gen 3 duals to mount to my brain bucket,other wise,I would definitely buy it
Thanks for the great info. I agree that's pretty exciting.
Thanks for sharing.
Hooty who to you! I haven't heard anyone say that in over 30 years...very nice optic!
Heyooo
I might have to check one of those out. Thanks for the info!
Thanks for watching
O man, looks like I gotta snag one of these to take care of some of these coyotes that keep getting my chickens 👍
Wondering if muzzle flash affects more ? Where are Arken made ?
Yeah, you sold me,dang it ! Well,it’s not the first time.
Hello, I don't know why people always say how you can use night vision for daytime and nighttime. We DO NOT need them for daytime! We can see just fine without them in daytime.
In daytime it is awesome because it records
Point is, the clarity of the Zulus is good enough to use in daylight and not just for night vision...
It's wise having certain abilities and advantages. I'm in.
Does it have it's own infrared light emitter or is it just capturing ambient light? Different technology altogether?
I know almost nothing about night vision, simply because it's so stupidly expensive. I was looking at that mono-tube 2nd gen that a lot of people sell and you're 3 grand in just for the tube as far as I can tell. Then you need the head mount dealy, then IR light emitter, etc and it ends up around 5-6k for the cheapest one on the market. So I've never even bothered learning about it... Been saving for a thermal scope, but man, I think I could buy one of these right now! If they're even somewhat durable (surely they aren't water-proof and built like a tank, right?!) then $500's a steal. I'd love to have night capability and a range finder in one... Guess I need to go check their site out. Almost seems too good to be true.
Digital camera/ with emitter. Nightmare wraith has been around for years at the $509.00 price point, often on sale around 375.00. Good quality for what it is.
Ooo that new to me cva scout .300blk needs a scope, kinda was leaning for a peep.
I emailed Arken Optics USA regarding availability of the 3-12x. They replied, "I do not have any release information for the US. It is a possibility that it will not be released to the US. Sorry for the inconvenience." Any thoughts?
All i know is the same
Arken optics are proving to be quality for reasonable prices. Good on them...👍.
Umm, now I’m interested. Does it come with a riser for the Picatinny rail, if not wonder if it’s available. I searched on Arken Optics website, they out of stock. I have to have this. I’m paying 3 to 5 grand for night vision scope. Thanks bro for the info and the video.
Funny my Girl just said the other night. "We need some night time binoculars" I think close enough for the go ahead . What do you think ?
Yup
I've had this scope for a couple months now. It is pretty nifty.
Awesome
That does it. I’m going Arken. I’m getting 2 from them. Can’t stand it. I need that night vision.
Have the model with the laser range finder and it’s awesome
Awesome
It is funny how the second something comes across the border into Canada the price doubles….
Ok. This may end up being the scope on my 8.6blk ar10 build.
That would be cool
Thanks for not shooting the kitty on camera ❤
I have three arken scopes. Looks like another will be added to the mix. I don’t even have a need for it, but it’s cool.
Why don't you donate one to some poor bugger. ? (Hunter. )
Awsome sauce! Can you change the color of the reticle to red? Green didn't show up that good in the day
Not sure. Haven't got that far yet
