Zulus HD V2 Digital Day/Night Vision Scope with Infrared and Laser Rangefinder & Ballistic Calculator

First of all i purchased with my prime card because NV and thermal is pricey. The ZULUS is an affordable option and you get more than what you pay for. This is a digital scope so no power, and you can't see anything. That is the only negative.PositiveI ran the zulus and my buddy ran a thor thermal. Now the thor was good picking up heat signatures anywhere.The zulus was better at identifying animal/targets whil hunting up to about 150 yards. I would use this over any thermal. It has a built in IR light that lights up the night. It has a rangefinder to identify quickly night or day target distance.The best part is the "1 shot zero". Take a shot. Freeze the digital picture and put your crosshairs on the shot you took. Then you will be zeroed in instantly. Amazing! Easy and saves ammo.They made this scope affordable and incredible. I challenge them to made a longer distance, to visibly see more clear at 300yrds. I can see a 3inch target at 300yrds. I would just like to see clearer and I know they can do it!Keep making these products. Thank you for providing affordable options for hunters of all backgrounds.Haven't figure out how to use app yet need more time. There is a ballistic calculator i would like to use. I did record video and will add later. Buy this product and be amazed.🤙

After watching many reviews on the Dnt zulus 3x12 scope. I decided to buy this scope is no gimmick can easily see deer sized animals 500 yards at night. The Ir light is powerful enough for me to even see 800 yds away but realistically hunting i would be comfortable 400 yds and in identifying and taking shots. Battery life all depends on settings you have running on scope but just buy either a external charging pack or two more batteries off Amazon for about 20 dollars. There are many capabilities to this day night scope and they work. Zoom is clear to 7.5 then as you zoom more the pixels get a little fuzzy. Easily mounts to anything with a picatinny rail. Interface on pushing buttons is pretty simple. If you are looking for best bang for your buck this is it you won't be disappointed. I could go on and on with how impressed I am with this scope but most of all Happy my hard earned dollar bought something budget and with quality

Fantastic day/night optic. Period. Love the ability to have a scope with multiple zero profiles. Also love that you can zero at pretty much any range and the built-in calculator takes care of the work. The only lacking feature is a QD mount. These scopes really shine when you can dope them on many rifles and just swap the scope around. If you need a QD mount for this scope, TierOne makes a very nice one that I will likely end up getting at some point. For now, I am using the American Defense AD-ETECH-R STD. It's designed for an Eotech, but it holds the Zulus very nice and tight, just like you would expect from American Defense. I love all my American Defense mounts, they all hold zero really well. The Zulus app has been very solid and functional. I used it to zero my optic and program ballistic data. It's a nice app with all the features you would want. Recoil activated video and audio recording is great. 1080P in the eye piece and HD video recordings. Definitely going to invest in a sun shade for this thing. Product is a home run.

Excellent scope for the airgunners and subsonic/suppressed firearms hunters/pesters. If you shoot projectiles that have a rainbow trajectory (airgun pellets/slugs or heavy subsonic rounds), the on board ballistic calculator and laser range finder are game changers. No need to have separate range finder or doping charts. I wonder if it is possible to use this type of scope with crossbows and night time feral hog pesting.The small compact size is a huge plus. Compared to the bulky ATN X-Sight pro 4k and heavy Rix TourT20, this Zulus/DNT scope is tiny. I like how little real estate this scope takes up on my air rifles and AR-15's.I like that the buttons in the scope are separated by a little bit of space and not situated too close to each other. That way, I can easily know which button I am pressing (tactile memory) when I am sitting in a blind or tree stand in the dark. The ATN X-Sight also has widely spaced buttons. The RIx TourT20 buttons are too close to each other and somewhat cumbersome to futz around with in the dark.The 850nm IR illuminator does a nice job. However, I will be getting the 940 nm bulb (more discrete and less visible to the naked human, coyote, or hog eye). It is nice that all you need to do is unscrew the 850 nm bulb and replace it with a 940nm bulb. The button to turn on and adjust the intensity of the IR light is nice and quiet (unlike the Rix TourerT20 IR button). At 50 yards, the hogs will definitely hear the click of the Rix TourerT20 IR pushy-clicky button. It would be more ideal if DNT Optics offered a choice between the 850 versus 940 nm illuminators (or offer both).Battery life is short (maybe 3-4 hours tops) and will not last long enough for a nights pest control outing. I noticed that when using the scope with the illuminator, the power goes from full 4 bars to 3 bars in less than 5-10 minutes. For a night outing, I will forego the scope battery and connect the scope directly to battery pack (using USB-C cord). Not ideal because the cap that covers the SD card and USB-C connection needs to be removed and put away in safe spot. Not ideal to have these parts exposed to the elements.The battery can be recharged by connecting USB-C cord directly to the scope or by taking out the battery and recharging. Be careful when you screw on the battery cap. I can see myself stripping or cross threading the metal threads if I quickly try to screw on the cap. The rechargeable battery powers the entire unit (not just the IR illuminator).The instructions are helpful, but could be clearer. I had to reread the instruction charts a couple of times to figure out which buttons to long press or short press. I think the ATN X-Sight scope is more intuitive when it comes to navigating the buttons and on screen menu. Also, do note that you have to make sure that the ballistic profile matches the zeroing profile. The program doesn't automatically fuse the ballistic profile with the zeroing profile. That would be really nice. One could be using the ballistic profile for projectile A with the wrong or unintended zeroing profile. It was a little confusing for me at first. But, a quick phone call to the DNT Optics company was very helpful.I use this DNT Optics scope with a hand held thermal scope for night time hog and coyote pest control. The thermal hand held is for scanning and detection while the DNT riflescope is for species confirmation and shooting. Scanning with only the riflescope gets old real fast.DNT Optics has come out with 3 new rifle scopes that has thermal AND digital night vision with laser range finder and infrared illuminator (ThermNight TNC225R, TNC335R, and TNC635R). Pretty neat and at a more affordable price. DNT needs to show many more examples of what night critters look like under their scopes at varying distances.As for reliability of this unit, time will tell. I am hoping that this unit has better reliability than the ATN X-Sight units.
