How far was the possum from your position?
I noticed some flickering in the view that has been an issue with the X-Sight in the past. What brightness level did you have the illuminator on? I have read that using less light will cure that. Have you uploaded the latest firmware?
Thanks for the review of the scope. Please keep reviews coming. I enjoy it.
The possum was about 25-30 yards thereabout. Yes, the video does flicker. I videoed the possum at low then medium then high. I noticed that with each change of IR light there is somewhat of a flash. It is a distraction to watch for sure. I also have the NV brightness level on low - may try changing that too. Guessing then I would not have to set IR so high? I inquired at the company about the firmware and they said I didn't need to upload 'cause the scope had the latest installed when I bought it. I also double checked on their web site and I'm good for now.
dd - The distance I shot the dog was at 40yrds. I hunt the woods and hunt by sound (real close). Ya know, after I got home from my hunt last night, I was on cloud 9 and thought, why didn't I do this NV thing sooner? Certainly the cost was a huge factor but I also wasn't sure if it would work in my particular hunting situation. Now tonight I will hunt at a different stand that overlooks a swamp bottom and test the scope out there.
