Oneleaf NV500 Day/Night Scope - Extremely Thorough Review (Video inside)

outstanding review!

Just received mine like 1.5 hour ago, 0 experience with this but look and feel good, eager to go shooting tomorrow

Just checked, no firmware out for this yet so i am on V.001

Nice review M8.

My gripes so far having not shot it,,,,, yes i got some.
1: the focus wheel are pretty hard to turn, but it might become loose with time, also a waterproofing thing.
2: the Zoom clicks, i have mine on 1.0 ( default ) but it feel like clicking the wheel it dont always register, so going from one end of the zoom to the other in my feel it take a bit too many clicks.
3: With no LRF like i have if you put the light there, focus will be harder to reach

A little tech stuff.

The 4K Sony starvis 2 sensor IMX 678 is just the 8 megapixel you need to do 4K, so photo in larger resolutions are extrapolated.

@AirShootist the level change of the light you do not have to OFF it in between, just soft press and you can cycle thru power levels.

Findings today.

Shooting paper in the dark -2 exposure needed.

Trying to select ISO range manual, it seem no matter what you try it go to the highest one, even ISO 100 which is pretty low just = a white screen in the daytime

zoom click wheel for sure need revamping if you ask me, wayyyy too many clicks to go from 0 to MAX zoom


For sure people used to a phone camera, will be sorely disappointed here, CUZ it is all manual baby you for sure want to experiment and familiarize you with your NV500 scope

PS. i have told oneleaf how they can make like 20 - 30X - more optical zoom cameras, and it can even have autofocus too ASO, but it will only work on low recoil weapons CUZ the core will not be able to handle high G loads.

Had good fun tonight, even if no rats turned up, but the feed site have been disturbed and moved a little lately.
