   People show videos of trees and shrubs at night so I thought I would show actual deer at 165 yds to give a real sense of the night vision experience.

   The instructional information provided with scope are very minimal and only through using it,did I find the following:

   When zeroing the scope use the up/down/left/right buttons in OPPOSITE direction. If first shot is low and to right…use the down and right buttons as needed (not the up/left as would normally be used on a conventional scope). The instructions do not specify what each X & Y number represents (usually 1/4 inch on a conventional scope). Took me about 4 shots after finding out this “opposite” issue to hit bullseye at 100 yds. Consistently hitting small metal plate at 140 yds so zeroed in nicely. Highly recommend sighting in scope at 100 yds.
   The supplied 32Mb Micro SD card failed and became corrupted. I was sent a replacement by Triton. The limited instructions stated that the maximum SD card is 64 Mb. Not true. I put in a 128 Mb card and it works perfectly.

   You can focus the IR light by rotating it to darken/lighten images at IR1, IR2 and IR3. This helps out at long distances. I figure this scope is good for a maximum of about 275 yds. Image gets grainy beyond that point and hard to distinguish what the animal is.

   If you have to use reading glasses you will need to wear them when using this scope. This is because you are looking at the LCD screen of a camera….not like looking through optics of a regular scope. IMPORTANT: I did not like wearing glasses, so I took the lenses out of my reading glasses, ground the edges to accommodate putting them inside the ribbed eye piece cup. I put one just in front of the LCD screen and one about two ribs deep from the eye piece opening and amazingly I do not have to wear reading glasses anymore. It even gives me slightly greater magnification. All numbers in the scope are now clear and readable. Yes, I am an Engineer!! Ha Ha

   Be sure after you zero the scope to use blue loctite to secure the scope.

   Make sure your scope has been upgraded from the factory by taking a picture or video and making sure the reticle shows up on the captured video/picture. If not, you need to do a firmware upgrade.

   Batteries: The scope eats batteries, invest in some extras. You can also use a phone charger battery with the provided USB/type C cable and it keeps the scope on for hours. I carry two extra battery packs on every night hunt.

   Note: Muzzle flash is common with Night Vision scopes that use IR (unlike thermal scopes that cost $$$$). Be aware of this. Also the smoke (also rain/fog) from the shot will cause a cloud and blind your view for about 5-10 seconds making followup shots impossible. This is NOT a fault of the scope…it’s just how NV with IR works. (Update: better quality ammo caused much smaller cloud and I was able to see animal hit and drop). During the day, this is not an issue at all. At night just make sure your target is close (for me 150 yds and in), your scope zeroed and you are a good shot.

   From the video, which was on a pitch black night, no moon, this is what you can expect to see while hunting.

   Overall, for the money, this is a very usable Night Vision Scope.

   Update: Spotlighted (with red filter) last night and got male coyote at 60 yds in pitch dark (no moon). Could see animal VERY clearly with IR2 setting. As said above, scope easily identifies game at night up to 200 yds. During daytime, scope probably good out to 300 yds.

   I got this to keep on a 22lr and shoot 25 yards or so at night. This scope works pretty well at night, had trouble with brightness and exposure settings during the day. I have to keep 6 inchs away from the eye piece to see the screen and it is not easy to focus. I am not sure the eyepiece focus works at all. The one in the middle of the scope works tbough. Also it records video and pictures in a format that I can not view on my Samsung phone. For the price it’s pretty good. I have an atn that is much better but almost triple the price. I took the picture with my cell phone looking through the eyepiece at 23 yards.

   I have other budget nv optics for the price of this one it have become my favorite. The zoom isn’t anything special but the clarity in night mode is better than my sight mark wraith but the wraith wins in day mode for sure I also like the big picture screen on the and you can also use a external battery pack just remember to hit power when it’s flashing the green battery. The little it light is insane it blows my mind because it is so small but better than my light I paid 150 dollars for. Now my one and only complaint is that the reticle doesn’t go back to center when you move it to site it in it stays there. But I’ve had no trouble with hitting the targets I’m only shooting out to 100yrds and have it on my pcp air rifle and I think it’s perfect for it. Hope this helps you. Oh one more thing today I was playing with it and then left for around 2.5hrs and when I came home I noticed it was still on. It was flashing low battery but I know it last at least 2.5 hrs in day mode. I’m not sure how much battery life it had when I left either. Hope this helps you

   •Reticle is too low and left after zeroed. I took a picture of it with my phone so you can see how badly positioned it is. •The power button works sometimes, and always drains the battery by the next day- which resets the time/date. •Infrared turns off on random shots and need to power down the unit to turn it on again. Deal breaker when I’m hunting coons in pitch black and need the infrared to see at all. •10.5″ 223 pistol, so not crazy recoil. •I like the recording and basic UI, but there’s too many issues. •There’s no option to get a replacement from ngclab.com, only return, so I submitted a return request. Since that was the only option I guess I would have to buy another one after I get the refund? Very inconvenient. I’m not erasing the SD card either, that way they can see the infrared go out when I pull the trigger on a coon. •The company claims to hold a lifetime warranty, but I don’t see why I should need warranty service out of the box. •I’d be happy to do another review if Triton can send me one that works the way it’s supposed to.

   I cannot personally recommend this like I would like. From the first use, the battery for night vision and Infared goes from fully charged to low, and then empty once you switch to IR. Every time so far, I have gone through 3 to 4 batteries in less than an hour. Again, it goes from fully charged to almost empty when you turn on the night vision. I even tried to contact the company through ngclab.com and also directly from their website. Over a week and no contact at all and no person to chat with to make sure I wasn’t doing anything wrong. I have had to leave from hunting two hours earlier than I like because battery and spares are zapped dry using night vision. Don’t frustrate yourself. Wish now I might have purchased from another seller. Do not waste your money.
