Great video👍 I would like the Zulus to be able to record video without showing the reticle. I only mention this as I’m a keen nocturnal wildlife watcher and to be able to
record at nighttime at this quality at this price point is fantastic value. I hope a firmware update will address that issue as well. Keep up your sterling work 👌. Phil.
Hi Phil many thanks for your comment and kind words , yes agree, once i finally get my scope, I shall do a full on breakdown video of it with its functions TNC225R. the zhd520 is very similar but without the thermal. If you already have the zhd520. I know you can change it to a dot rather than cross hairs if that helps so easier to mask out on post processing for your wildlife shots just have the wildlife just off centre so when remove dot in post processing you will have full clarity on your chosen subject.
I had suggested a remote for the ranging button, but you make a good point regarding the movement when shooting close stuff, so a combo power/ranging remote button.
Hi thanks for your comment, yes after I shared my thoughts with arken, they shared remote plans / design they are looking to build and I had provided some feedback to the RnD team on it. We shall see if dnt release it.
I like your idea for the remote button. I would also like an option to have a remote button to activate the LRF.
Thanks for your comment yes when they mentioned they were working on one, they were some additional conversations and suggestions that went between me and the RnD department. I have an image of the prototype however have been requested not to share this at this time. Not sure if this will come to fruition now the torch has been passed to DNT optics so one to watch.
Suggestions don’t cost anything and go a long way to making things better. Keep up the good work
much appreciated thank you for your comment 👍
I'm testing a pre-production TNC225R at the moment and it displays cant and tilt exactly the same as the Zulus. Arken have a bluetooth remote control in development and I've seen but not used a pre-production model which I believe will do what you want
Looking forward to the release date of the tnc225r, is the name mean the zoom / focus is min of 2m and max of 25 with it being 225 like zulus is 520 ?
@@KinGr8Airguns No. 2 means it operates in both the optical and thermal areas of the electromagnetic spectrum. 25 refers to the focal length of the objective lens on the thermal part of the scope. R means it has an LRF
This would also be great when zeroing to freeze/capture the shot placement.
Thanks for your comment 👍
They should make the scope record like a webcam, and after it senses the shot (via the already inbuilt accelerometers) it just saves the previous minute and the next 30 seconds
Hi thanks for your comment 👍 upon speaking with arken a while back I believe this is an actual function that they already have. However I think this will be a function that will deplete the battery faster as it will essentially be on standby all the time. not sure on battery life on them presently real vs book as I'm still waiting to get my tnc225r however will be doing a full review and adding it on here once I do
The only problem with your suggestion is you don't actually know which way to move it to find level. The Hik Micro level indicator at shows you which way you are canted and need to move
thanks for your comment, and yes this is indeed a fair point, due to me not owning an Arken Scope presently as waiting for the release of new model, was not aware of the Gyroscopic Horizontal and Vertical Drift indicators, when was making the video. However I still think the color indicator would be a good option to ensure maintaining level and can keep focus on the cross hairs as such there are a number of options that could make this work and alleviate which direction its tilted but will leave that with Arken on how they wish to do it. I simply planted the seed as such. Thanks for watching and your valid comment
@@KinGr8Airguns I saw the gyro displays in this video. I think that something that displays information about the horizontal level, should be on the horizontal plane. By that I mean the vertical display can be on the vertical, but the horizontal level, should display at the bottom (not the side) area of the screen. It's more natural to look at that way.
yes I meant i didn't have them in the original video i.e. part 1, I got that picture from arken in their response. with that said though, at least it's easy to work out ie very easy to differentiate between horizontal and vertical by the way they are displayed. They could just make the reticle move around the centre point, then changes color on level, like I say there are a number of ways to do it some more complex than others but I am sure Arken will come up with a great update.
