Just wanted to say... I spent an HOUR trying to calibrate my Impact 4000 after studying the owner's manual and the Vortex video. I was stuck on the figure 8 step. Absolutely zero success. Watched your video once, mimicked the big circles you were making... instant success. My unit did not respond well to the small circles Vortex demonstrated in their video. THANK YOU
It would be nice to get an idea of the ranging laser dispersion. Ranging above, below and to the sides. This would give you an idea of the total beam divergence. Where this will really count is on targets past 700. Great video!
This is going to be an amazing piece of kit. I'd like to see you run it on the Vudoo and verify its ability there. 22lr hunter matches are starting to gain popularity.
Ok so I noticed you said you have to take it off and calibrate it every 30 miles. So do you gotta go through this whole sight in procedure every time you move 30 miles since you took the range finder off the rail ? Just wondering
No you do not need to re sight it in. That should be a one time thing unless something really gets screwed up. Recalibrating when you relocate might be a good idea if you are using some of the other features.
@@nedvedprecisionshooting no he just said it in the video and this is a chosen technical limitation along with using bluetooth to make this work. This is a product from a liberal gun company.
So am I right in thinking if you store 10 gun profiles - if I zero this on my 6.5 . Set everything up . Then put into my 22LR for example and zero it on there with a different profile . The zero will change between guns when the correct profile is set ?
This is a huge deal for predator hunters, NRL hunter, tactical shooting, and even hunting if the rifle is on the lighter side. Until This unit you had to spend what $8500+ on a raptar to get good weapon mounted ranging. I hope vortex did good and made it reliable electronically and durable enough to hold zero.
I think you’re supposed to aim using the hash mark where your laser was set and not the center of x-hair as you’re showing. Your laser point was almost a mil above center of x-hair.
No sir, you definitely want to use the crosshair. Reticle hashes are angular measurements which mean they grow with distance. This uses a parallel offset. You want to stay parallel. So crosshair is it as it doesnt change with distance.
@Nick_MaxO .8 mrad at 100yds is 2.88". .8mrad at 1000yds is 28.8 inches. So if you use the .8 hash at 1000yds you will be lasing 26" away from parallel(28.8"-2.8"). If you use the crosshair you will never be more than 2.8" from parallel(assuming 2.8" is indeed our scope to bore offset). Make sense?

Pretty great rundown. Thank you for this. Mine arrives tomorrow.

Good point!

I will make a video soon running it on the 22. 😁

You are calibrating the compass in three range finder
Good demo Maker
Looking at this instead of a set of ballistic reading binos. What are your thoughts? This easy to use? Accurate… etc..?
Do you have to redo the zeroing of the laser EVERY time you take it off to recalibrate?

yes, of course. The rangefinder has no way of knowing where your different guns are zeroed.

I have used it a few times now and so far it has been quick and accurate. I am very excited to take it out to a match!
Great video - looks perfect for field matches... anything you don't like about it yet?
Not yet!

Oh my gosh!
Yep, it’s a game changer!
$3000?!?!?
$2000
