Check out both ZULUS offerings below, use code "texasplinking" to get the cheapest prices available. ZULUS: bit.ly/3VHQXHJ ZULUS with laser rangefinder & ballistic calculator: bit.ly/3TwIfJE In this video I review the Arken Optics ZULUS. A night vision scope that cost less than $500. (When using code "texasplinking") For that price you have to wonder, just how useable is it? I thought it'd be smart to compare it to analog night vision and explain the massive price differences and what you can expect from digital night vision by showing examples of both. If you're looking for a way to do some night shooting & hunting without taking out a mortgage, this might be the way to go.
Show the Zulus without the illuminator on..............................they are over priced for what they are and the components in them (a realtively cheap digital sensor without IR filter). The Zulus looked terrible without the illuminator given the amount of light available, there was a lot of skyglow which equates to NL3 conditions, this is not dark (1 - to 10 mlux and why your dog has a shadow) - in other words its not very good as a night vision device. Its a dawn and dusk device. The difference between HQ digital and this is around an order of magnitude e.g. effective down to 0.1mlux without illumination and good analogue is nearly two orders of magnitude better than this e.g ~ 0.05mlux. Context is important with night vision devices particularly broader ambient light conditions.
You taught me a few things today. I was planning on looking at a few more vid's but you covered a lot of my questions. Now I want to see it used on a night hunt to see the thoughts of the shooters and accuracy.
I’ve been watching your videos for a few weeks since I recently became a rifle owner. I appreciate this review and I’ve subscribed because of it. Awesome work!
There's a cool idea, Brandon......how about doing a 1 MOA 1000 yard night challenge once in a while! I would like to see a thermal scope with this comparison. Always good information. Thank you sir!
If I can save up & get this, will you come over & set it up with me 😂. Seriously, thank you for this video. This has been the best in helping me understand what I want 👍
I ordered one a couple days ago considering it’s approximately 9 times cheaper than your single tube NOD and it works very well for the price I’d call this a big win all day and night long.
First review to actually show the little tv screen that is what you see. I almost got a Thermal for $2500 until I saw the same little screen. Great vid and saved $$$$.$$ Coyote time!
I look forward to your testing the LRF. I love the fact that it is useful at night, but forget that: digital optics are the future in daylight. An integrated rangefinder tied to a ballistics calculator to give you an on-the-fly dead-nuts reticle? I think it would be stupid not to want that very badly. Hopefully they will eventually open the range to get down to close to 1x. Then you have a home-defense optic useful for low-light cqb out to beyond any range likely still considered home-defense with a laser and computer calculating your holds on the fly. Yes, please. Mount his on a bullpup, and what can it NOT do? Very pumped.
Great tutorial man. Thanks! The only issues I have is no black reticle. Not a big deal. And I can't set the date and time. When I set it and quick press the record button to lock it in, it just keeps changing it. Not sure the problem, but again not a deal breaker for me. So far a really cool fun entry level night scope
I'm a bit of an optics snob and been lucky enough to enjoy some very top end day and night optics, but a friend of mine bought a Zulus with LRF for his air rifle and I've been very impressed by it. It out performs its nearest rivals and the ballistic calculator works really well. The supplied mounts aren't brilliant, but Tier-One are releasing specific Arken option for the QD UBM which will be very nice indeed.
Great so far. Put about 20 rounds through it. Still on zero. Just wish my 308 saint liked nato speck ammo. Hand loads it's lights out, so not a biggee for me.
Protons and croutons! Being a retired Chef and science nerd I almost fell out of my chair, that was an hilarious off the cuff comment I will be using that somewhere in a sentence. Great information and help on night vision scopes that fir my budget thanks a lot.
Haven’t watched the video yet but I have the Arken Zulus and have it set up on a 5.56 to go shoot pigs. I have video of it on my IG, daytime video at the range, and some night time video in the back yard. I think this optic is great for the price point. The One Shot Zero, is awesome... freeze the screen and aiming point then change the zero on your phone by moving the reticle, next shot or series is pretty much zeroed
Definitely cool & certainly has it's place,but I'm personally more interested in a thermal monocular device that can be hand held,or can be mounted on a pic rail,or clipped to the objective bell of your scope. There was a vid from shot show that gave an overview of the device(I don't recall the company),but I think it was about +/-$900
@@silaslocklear6467 Interesting. I haven't personally either but read about recoil damaging the tube or breaking the wire connections. Also burned in ACOG Chevron reticles. 😄
I think Marines bitchin and moaning? Then it either works or not. It's the suck "if it isn't broke, leaking or needs fixed the corp doesn't get it" PRC-77 give it the 3 foot drop test! That said Any NV is better than none, which is what we had in 1970. Semper Fi
Great for a airgun/rimfire. Or close cf work. Very pixilated once you start zooming in & VERY laggy . Mine stays on the boys airgun with the odd run on a hmr.
Nice review! Thank you. I assume that if you use the IR emitter assist, you become a visible red dot to coyotes etc if you're trying to eradicate them. Correct? Would you say the non-IR-assisted mode is at least good enough to get a good sight picture of vitals of predators within 100 yards?
Well done! It was nice to see the off hand use, but it would have been the whole package if you could have shown video off a steady rest! That being said, I've see several vids on this scope and yours has pushed me over the top, now...which one? Oh such problems to have. 😉
I’ve been hunting with digital NV for a few years now. I also have a pvs14 gen3 . Analog has its benefits but for hunting 99% of people will be fine with digital. I’ve tried pretty much every major brand of digital NV and the AGM Neith DS32 is my overall favorite despite its short battery life.
Also the Analog System (Light Intensifier that magnifies Visible Light ) has a Life Expectancy...compare it to a Candle...once its used up you're done !
> most hog and predator hunting is within 100 yards Yea, first time I went hog hunting I took a .308 long range rifle, expecting a 2-300yd shot. My actual shot was 30 yards. These days I'm taking hogs within 25 yards. I haven't been super interested in digital NV, and I've mostly been looking at thermal. But, honestly, this seems like an extremely compelling option for the price point.
When you apply "Texasplinking" (all one word) it only subtracts 25%, same as the website's "save25%" For their high end one, $933.29 to $774.72 which is still pretty damn good for what you get. I also have two of their EP8, one EP5, and one SH4 scopes plus their mounts. For the value you can't beat the price, especially if you are hunting or target shooting under a 1000 yards. Thumbs up.
That's perfect for the limited use I need one for. I do have NVG's, but I can park this on my 16" 6.5 Grendel and pop field rats (hogs) after dark in my backyard.
Hey Texas Plinking! Would you consider using your pull to ask Arken optics if they have drivers for the scope so I could remotely view it via USB? For example be able to plug in a laptop via usb and see what the user would see?
Definitely cool for the category, but for real night hunting, thermal is the way. I used several digital night vision optics, then after using an iray thermal, I can't go back.
Not a hunter here, but would these be more expensive than the night vision binoculars? Actually, I'm looking for an analog night vision I guess that can zoom in better for that tower you were showing! What is your expertise in this matter? Thx much
I bought one when whoteewho did a video on it got it for $487.50 with his code. Total $537.29 with the 0 MOA picatinny adapter, shipping and State Sales Tax.
Hi Tex,how much eye relief does the unit have and what would be the maximum size cartridge you would use this on without a muzzle break ? Cheers from Australia 👍
I have the LRF one, you can hit at any range first shot, it either gives you a hold over on the screen or moves the entire cross hair, set which you prefer. I also got the 940nm light to be more invisible when hunting. @@GreatLakesLogger
@@doomfathertm8771 I've been eyeing it for a pcp air rifle. Is the daytime resolution good enough to have good detail on a squirrel or sparrow at 100 yards? Is there any latency at all?
Yes, I use mind on a pcp air rifle (fx dreamline) I use it on rabbits out to 200 yards at night, in the day you could triple that if you had a center fire. @@GreatLakesLogger
@GreatLakesLogger It has one of the best day images on a digital scope. I have tested over 10 digital scopes and this does great. At 100y I could see a 2" spinner. I have a few videos on my page.
The rubber cone is to keep the light IN".. Because if you were using it at night and aiming at someone--- your little viewing screen would light up your face like a Halloween costume; and anyone would be able to see you. So that rubber eye piece stays sealed to your face and keeps the light contained so that you're not giving yourself away.
When you were trying to hold it steady on your porch... Idk why you didn't hug up against that post and brace yourself. You should make that a habit.. That should be your first instinct when aiming at something.. especially if you find yourself in a gun battle. Not only for use as cover-- but for stabilizing. I guess you were more one track minded in staying in the shot for the camera to see you....... But then you jumped to the internal recording of the scope, so it wouldn't matter. :) ... ALWAYS brace yourself, if it's there.
I thought the very same thing and was ready to breakout the plastic from my wallet if it was worth a shit. Not happening.,... The IRay units that are out now absolutely spoil those who have them. I can't imagine what our special forces are using now. I've seen some videos of the new thermals that have AWS & Alphabet configured into the firmware. They are flat unbelievable. I can see exactly what why the conduct operations at night. I truly believe they are much more capable of working in the dead of night than they are in broad daylight.... There is no fighting force as capable as the US Special Forces. I wouldn't want to be in their list of targets, as they will find you and they will execute their orders regardless of where you're located!!
Decent review of specs and features but I’m worried about it because I haven’t seen any videos of it holding up to recoil. When it first dropped I was interested but after the 10th review i noticed most people doing table top reviews or only putting it on 22lr or air guns so I lost interest.
I purchased 2 scopes and have no notification of my purchase. Noticed the amount was taken from my account. Was this a scam am I another suckered dummy.
Real night vision works so completely different that it is just simply impossible for digital to ever compete directly. One is a camera and the other is your actual eyes looking through a tube.
The biggest factors with night vision is weight and clarity; amplifier tubes haven't progressed much in the last 10-15 years and are near the end of what's practically & economically feasible whereas digital resolution only keeps getting better; and digital already beats optical in terms of weight 1.5lb nods lose their appeal pretty quickly when you're wearing them on your forehead for several hours...
It's definitely not a "FFP like you said... Yes it does expand a bit.. But I noticed when you were zoomed out, the reticle was wider than that white tower... But as you zoomed in much further, the reticle was not nearly as wide as the tower anymore. So it does expand a little bit, but it's not proportional like a true FFP scope--- Still seems pretty slick though.. It zooms quite a bit
@@TexasPlinking interesting.. So the mils stay the same, but the span of the reticle changes. I really like this thing.> I was just about to get an EP4 with the japanese glass.. But I might just get this instead. I have a 6.5creed and 308 that both still need scopes.

Was wondering if it could handle a big caliber like a .308?
Problem with IR night vision is that you have to become the source of IR light… this is visible to anyone with an IR scope.
Yeah, you're a light house now.
We are not in Ukraine great for hunting
Yup, I thought of that too.
Your not supposed to shoot each other
This is for critters. If you're going swat mode prolly need to up the budget.
Nice review! (mine is being shipped). Subbed!😊
You have a porch post right there you could stabilize on or grab a shooting stick...
Great video! Could you review the Zulus with the range finder and ballistic calculator?
Good cut and dry example.

There’s a mount you can use for the pvs14 to use as a clip on. Used it in the marine corps, we called it a scorpion mount, used them with RCO/ACOG.
How quickly did it wreck the PVS14 though? They aren't great about handling recoil.
I’ve honestly never seen a pvs 14 go down due to recoil. Mostly see them not being able to be used due to sun spots causing bad visibility

Ever try putting your PVS14 in front of your LPVO? I heard it'll work, and there's probably mounts for it to work as such.
Brandon,
Please try the backfire challenge. I think you have best chance of getting it done.
I’m amazed and going to want one. Lol. It may look better than my Pulsar.
Palmetto State Armory has the Sightmar Wraith Mini for $470 with an external battery pack.

Can the cantilever mount be removed? Other options? Seems to put the scope way forward?
Hey Texas Plinking! Would you consider using your pull to ask Arken optics if they have drivers for the scope so I could remotely view it via USB? For example be able to plug in a laptop via usb and see what the user would see?
You can pair the scope to a phone or tablet over wifi and mirror the screen image on the scope.
How far is it usable to shoot animals with? How bad is the lag when swinging in a field? Would you be able to shoot runners ?

@@TexasPlinking interesting.. So the mils stay the same, but the span of the reticle changes. I really like this thing.> I was just about to get an EP4 with the japanese glass.. But I might just get this instead. I have a 6.5creed and 308 that both still need scopes.
you have a post beside you - why not use that for stability? hmmmmmmm
I wonder how well it will hold zero.
Does it have windage, and elevation adjustment?
No. You are going to have to use the reticle for that. The zeroing process is super simple once you understand it.
The lrf version with ballistics can move the reticle for you, or illuminate the hold
I like it he's talking arken, but wearing vortex.
Love em both 😂
The link shows it is already over 600.00.
Can it handle the shock of a big caliber rifle?
308 is the max I believe
You can hide from my vision I just don't care for it. I absolutely am a fan of thermal
Looks like 10x better then overpriced analog "true" nigh vision
I guess for me these don't make sense when you can get a agm rattler ts19-256 for 1000 right now.
Does it record video? Does it bluetooth to your phone?
@ChatGPT1111 yes it records and it makes it's own wifi to connect to your phone.
If you wanna learn about fighting with night vision play a 24 hour scenario paintball game. I did in the early 2000s and it was eye opening.
