I purchased the 4k and now I'm thinking about swapping it for the 5 while I can still make the switch. Question is, with all the issues right now, would you keep the 4k or return it and grab the 5?

I requested an RMA for a refund for the X-Sight 5 yesterday. Still waiting for the return label. I contacted them on Wednesday and asked again about the firmware update and app and was told they still had no ETA. So, this one's going back and I'll wait on a refurb! I have 2 4K Pros that were refurbs and have had zero issues with them!
It’s sad, I like the two 4K Pro scopes I have, but was hoping for better resolution and smoother slo motion video. I’m its current form, the Gen 5 has neither. Hopefully they will get the bugs worked out. Once they do, there should be a heap of them showing up as refurbs and maybe I’ll try again then. For now, they are just too far behind the power curb to be taken seriously!That blows! I like to support American companies but ATN seems to be poorly managed, PARD is surpassing ATN already while being far more reliable.
Hopefully, but unfortunately, there is no ETA as to when it or the app will be available! I'm guessing they aren't finished with their Beta testing yet...So we think firmware will be able to fix all the issues?
My whole hardly agree with that. But my question is if they're still beta testing why are they charging customers for supposedly a finished product? Seems like ATN as well as many other companies or at release products before their time, or make false claims on features that they never deliver upon.Hopefully, but unfortunately, there is no ETA as to when it or the app will be available!

I request RMA for refund a month ago and no response. Resent it again and attempting to talk to someone right as I type. ( Been waiting 15min for someone). LOLEach one I was sent got progressively better, but none met my expectations or the claims made on any of the videos or their website. I'm sure they will eventually get the bugs worked out and it will be as good as or better than the 4K Pro, but until then, all 3 went back and I'll wait for the refurbs.
I'm still waiting on my refund to show up. Kinda frustrating how they can grab your money in a matter of minutes, but it takes 7-10 days for them to give it back to you! It's PayPal, it should work just as fast in both directions!I request RMA for refund a month ago and no response. Resent it again and attempting to talk to someone right as I type.

What resolution are you recording at?Here's another look at the Gen 5 at 15x. The first target is at 25 yards and the second is at 50. You can see me trying to focus it in. This is as clear as I could get it. The scope is on my K1 .25 caliber and I zeroed it in initially at 25 yards. You can see the yardage change as I use the LRF - no other clue even though you see the red arrows when you actually use the LRF. The recording is pretty much what I saw through the scope. As you can see, the LRF is pretty accurate. I shot 7 shots at 25 yards and 11 at 50 yards. I took the raw file and used VLC to convert it to video for youtube to reduce the size, otherwise no alterations to the video. I was shooting with a bag on the front and just shoulder on the rear. I will wait for the firmware upgrade as I really hope they will improve the view.
