      Wow that was an awesome video!!

      Thanks for the kind words guys, I really appreciate them. The next round of Photons should be here within a couple weeks. I talked to Sightmark today and they are expecting to stay on the mid-month delivery schedule. Still no exact date on when to expect the 6.5x Photon XT's. The safer bet is after the SHOT Show, which is the last week in January. It could be before but no one there really knows, they are just saying "probably" January or February.

      Also, I'm pretty shocked to say it but my very first ATN X-Sight on backorder has shipped and I'll have it tomorrow. I was told to expect my others to start dribbling in around January or February. I will report back after I get some time to test it out.

          I'm excited to see what you think of the X-sight. I saw ultimate night visions videos of it and was pretty impressed. Especially with the day time view.

              I use an AngelEye DVR with the 2.5" screen and my son can watch as I scan/shoot and record the session. I also like that if I am by myself I can use the remote control to turn off and on recording while it is in my pocket. Here is a link to the unit I use

                yeah that's the route I think im going to how hows the reliability on it recording have you had any issues. im wanting to have 2 setups one for stationary stands using this
                http://www.ebay.com/itm/7-Car-PC-HDM...3D151330015484 where ill have this mounted using the scew in mount off the wall of the stand using a L bracket ill make a wing nut for easy on and off .
                and use the one posted above for doing stalks and for traveling and so on.
                still for 170$ give or take you have 2 options

                    With all the talk of the screens and cameras, is there any reason that I cant just plug my video camera up to the Photon and view on the camera flip out screen? I hooked them up together last night and I couldnt get it to work, but dont know why not. Im not so techno savy, but shouldnt that work?

                    Comment


                      it could be due to settings do you know if you have both AV in and out?
                      im thinking get more bang for my buck and go with a dvr tablet https://www.ebay.com/itm/7-Capacitiv...item43d21727da

                          not all video cameras have AV/IN and that is what you would need to record from the photon to a portable video camera Thats why I went with the angel eye dvr that fit in my pocket

                            The recording on it is fine and I find it very easy to use and turn on to auto record with the remote. I would suggest playing with it at home a bit before you go out in the field. The only real issue I have had with mine is the AV cable that comes with the Angel Eyes was cheap and the wire broke. I ordered a much better and longer cable and it has been flawless and allows me more movement with the dvr in my pocket than I had before.

                            The only negative I have on the Angel Eyes DVR is that it timestamps the recording but I have found that is easily cropped when I edit the movie anyway.
