Zulus question

To each his own, but I really don’t get why people go through all the hassle of making seperate profiles for different shooting distances. It takes quite a lot of work (i.e. time), and it is cumbersome to have to go into the menu every time to change profile for every different distance you shoot. If you make a ballistic table ONCE you are all set, and it is so user friendly afterwards! (Just aim at your target, press the range button, and press again, and the reticle moves to the right position to aim, or it shows the right holdover if you prefer that (but that sort of defeats the whole idea of it, that is why the pros dial in, and not use holdovers, just think about that for a second!).

I think people are put off by the thought that it is perceived as complicated to make a BC table (you have to measure the scopeheight, Ahhhh!:oops:, you have to find the BC of a pellet,Ouch!:mad:, you have to fill in all sorts of info in the app (of which some, like twist rate and other fields are not important as they are not even taken into account, so indeed the app could be improved in this regard), and you have to send this BC table to the scope, Awww:sick:) and overall it just seems too much trouble, as there is a small (but steep) learning curve that need to be conquered first.

So yes it does take a bit of effort, but it is well worth it! Like with all things in life, after you master something that seemed difficult or impossible at first, you wonder how you could do without, AND you are amazed you found it difficult before you mastered it!
Could you explain how your response is in any way relevant to the question asked by the OP?????

His screen locks up, it has nothing to do with profiles or ballistics...........lol
 
i dont have a zulu but i had a different wifi thermal at one time which used to lock up and I was so convinced it was a software issue , but it was not it was a ATN 5-50 bleeding edge at time 2017 , but it turned out to be when using wifi and other things battery voltage dropped below threshhold of requirement of the CPU , the cure for mine was to go with a hi end rechargeable battery which had a built in voltage they were called kentli , aa batteries most 1,5v were 1,5v new and worked to 1,2v but these were 1,65 and did not drop at all , it allowed things to run smooth and never locked up ,
My point is thermals , digital nv are like computors and very dependant on good voltage and when you use otyher things on unit everything uses more power ,do not rule out this , if this is not it , do the norm updtae firmware ect and go threw settings

Yeah apologies for that, When I finished writing my answer, I (thought I) deleted it as I found out I posted this in the wrong forum topic, but apparently the delete did not pass through...

I know this has nothing to do with the screen locking up. I did cut off picture and picture and it seem to work fine, not sure why that was.
Regarding your post about profiles on a lot of the old Pard and ATN did not have the rangefinder on it to work with hold over, I setup different profiles on my Zulus for one reason my Daystate I shoot at 15 yard on low for rice, but if a raccoon come up I switch to high power so I change profiles, most of my shooting is at 15 yards
