With the limited quality from the onboard recordings (512px@21fps) I tried upscaling to 60fps and 720p... it definitely looks smoother, so maybe something to try for folks that are wanting to use the recording feature on a regular basis. I do wish the focus range would let you get a sharp image...
Well wouldja look at that. I just tested it and averaged over 10 display frames and got exactly 50fps now, instead of 43fps like I was showing with the NUC set to Auto. As a reminder, simultaneously pressing up and down buttons NUCs the unit, so maybe a decent workaround to get a little closer...
Just got back from shooting some 5 stand under NODs and unboxed the Sidekick. Not seeing a huge change in lag or frame rate - the comparisons to a SKEET seem a little off-base for my particular unit, at least in the area of display responsiveness. Will have to find some more live targets this...
lol I’ve held my tongue while waiting for the fixes… when I buy a “60fps” thermal and it’s clearly only showing me 38fps at the eyepiece when checked with high speed video… I get grumpy faced 😬 But the guys at Armasight have been pretty receptive to the long list of feedback items I sent over...
That mirrors my experience. Make sure to check your spam folder, as all their comms keep getting stuck there for me. I received the RMA to perform 2-point calibration and firmware upgrade and the shipping label is good for a month in case I wanted to hold onto the unit a little longer before the...
There isn’t a user-upgradable firmware package available yet. I don’t have much else to share from my emails with customer service yet, still waiting on their guidance on a few items.
Here’s another few at the wide end of the chart - I just got the AGM StingIr from a buddy and it’s a bit narrower, but also supports clipon use. Looking forward to taking a closer look.
Got any buddies with NV clipons so you could confirm the beam at distance? Or a place you could try the vis collimating laser process at a few hundred yards at dusk? I’m always a little skeptical of the offset targets without confirming at extended range
