ATN X-sight
There has been lots of reports with battery drain so I decided to actually play with mine a bit….
Battery test with Energizer NIMH Rechargeable
-Freshly charged
-Day time 60 degrees
-(Compass, Time, GPS, WIFI) turned OFF or put to NONE
-Brightness set at: 2
-Covered objective in between time checks
@ 33 min – battery indicator came on
@ 40 min – (noticed some screen flickering)
@ 75 min – zoom function still worked
@ 90 min – zoom function worked but left and right arrows states “battery power to low for this function” comes on
@ 125 min- still able to view and use zoom function (battery indicator blinking away)
@ 185 min – Still running, zoom function still worked, everything still would turn on and function except (WIFI and the left/right arrows) would indicate “battery power to low for this function”
Note: (I apparently did not turn off the “Mic” and “Geo tag” functions. So they have been on entire time) oops…
@ 300 min – Still running, zoom function still worked, everything still would turn on and function except (WIFI and the left/right arrows) would indicate “battery power to low for this function” …. Stopped test… 300 minutes/5hrs
Well looks like you can get some time out of this unit if you dont use some of the goofy or not so goofy functions.
—-now I just need to sight it in and actually use this darn scope it has been sitting on my Bobcat for a month!!—-

Hoot:
I will say this it is a Cmos sensor not a CCD sensor. So it is good for day and night but, the night is not as good a some of the better CCD sensors out there you can make DIY night vision. Up side it is a HD for daytime and you can zoom up to digitally zoom up to 10X which I find usefull (other do not).
I have not fully tested it for night but I have checked it out from 25-100 yrds and from those distances I can ID everything using an 850 ir light.
When I get some time I will post some images at different ranges.
Ronin,
How clear is the picture and what is the usable range with the supplied IR light?
Software updates .228
Reticle now appears in recorded video;
Digital zoom has been limited to 4x, user can remove limiter in settings; (to go to 10X)
Compass can now self calibrate after initial user calibration;
Improved HDMI stability;
programing Bug fixes.

What is really nice is though it may not be the best night vision scope, you can also use it for day time and have quite a zoom range for day or night, at a price that most can manage to scrape up.
