Could you take a photo of the two ir units showing the part numbers you are referring to please? I am in Australia and I think our version of the 5-12 zulus may have the led version. I am not getting the image quality you are getting out of the laser unit.
So I have had the 5-20 Zulus since April and I am wondering if it has the laser IR or LED IR? How can I tell? Arken doesn't give that spec that I could find on their website? If it doesn't have the laser you think they will swap what I have for a laser unit?
@Albiemanmike not sure as Arken now have been bought over by DNT, however the 520 was inly sold with the Vscel laser IR so the likelihood hood is that your fine . What makes you think you have the LED IR? Welcome to send me a video of the IR at work. Remember the IR is zoomable, range has to be also focused on the scope and you have different intensities as well as screen brightness on the scope.
Ok but can you order/have the 3 12 with the laser module?. Seems to me the 3 12 comes the led and the 5 20 with laser and no possibility to select a different module.
For some strange reason, it sounds like you are complaining that the short range scope doesn't have the range of the longer range scope. I'm really having trouble following that...
@Josef_R No what I was complaining about is that the IR given with the 312 was useless, this was not about long or short range as the 312 is not in fact a short range scope it is however in many ways a more practical scope than the 520, DNT (formerly Arken) listened and now do not supply the 312 with an LED IR they only sell it with the VScel
@Josef_R Arken are now DNT Optics and yes they are still making them and in very high demand . Speak to Pete Dodsworth at NVUK and he will get hold of one for you. This is why I said in the video about the original 312 coming with an LED when it was far more capable to use over 100yrds and in fact way further with the VScel IR and what makes it better than the 520 is that if say a fox runs in to 50yrds you still are able to track it no issue. When you speak to Pete Dodsworth give him my name David Tulloch
@@FieldsportsScotlandfantastic to hear theyve moved to laser only, especially with no proper way to tell the difference between the two without them side by side
@midwebonline it actually doesn't matter I would pit it on V , the only difference really between the two is one gives you 6 settings the other giver you 3
THANKS GOD. Dude, I received my 3-12 a few days ago and was about to mail my seller to tell him my scope has probably a problem cause I can't see shit past 100m when on TH-cam ppl could see at like 400m. I finally know why, this is just this crappy LED IR instead of laser one. Thanks a lot for this video, I thought I was going crazy but no, this is just this IR that sucks. Greetings from France !
After speaking with DNT Optics today, Im happy to hear they fixed the 3-12 IR discrepancy.
When they moved from Arken to DNT that's the first thing they did

I can put up pictures . The models I have are the ZHD520R and the 3-12R the 3-12 I have us supplied with 850nmL led Ir and the 520 has 850nm laser
Mine is the 5-12 lrf also, but the picture quality is not like yours
@chrismann9411 you must have the LED IR if you contact Arken they can replace it
@@chrismann9411So the quality on yours is no good mate? I’m looking at getting one myself, I’m in Aus too

Under DNT it is now only supplied with the Vscel not LED

@FieldsportsScotland Has Arken stopped making them? I see everything is out of stock. I bought the 520 without rangefinder for my

Do you need to change the settings in the menu? if so which is which L or V for the 940

Hi there yes the LED is less effective than the laser but the scope itself is capable of far more .
