DNT Optics 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.🤙

Tl;dr: I zeroed my rifle in the pitch dark easily. It's that good.I have the zulus v2 on a cz457 and I typically use cci 710fps 40gr hollow points to hunt small game. The scope mount and scope itself have a very good fit and finish to them and all the components feel very rugged. All the parts that are used frequently are metal and should hold up just fine to wear and tear. The o-rings on the removable parts are easy to replace as they wear out. All the controls are silent and easy to use even with thick gloves on. The menu on both the scope and the app are very responsive and easy to navigate. I cannot tell you how many "quality" products out there have great hardware and garbage UI so it's nice to see a company finally get it right. Setting up the ballistic profile for my rifle was a breeze and it transferred to the scope with 0 issues. They even had the profile for the ammo I like to use already set up in the app. The scope has fantastic clarity in day and night and the screen can be set from dim to blinding. It comes with all the reticles and colors I would use ready to go and switching them on the fly is seamless. The recording feature works great and getting videos off the scope and onto your phone is extremely easy with the integrated WiFi. You can also see what the scope sees from your phone with less than 1 second of latency which is truly awesome. The laser range finder and integrated ballistic computer are about as good as it gets. You press a button, and you have the range and holdover. Dead simple. My favorite feature by far is the pip window. You can stay zoomed all the way out for target acquisition and then fine tune your shot on the pip window without touching your zoom. That is a game changer with twitchy animals that jump out of view all the time. I'm left handed and have no issue with the placement of the controls. The scope is comfortable to use even with glasses on which is a dream come true for me. Overall this thing punches way way up for the price. This is a mean piece of kit and you'd spend a small fortune to do marginally better. I'll continue to update the review as I put some hours on this thing through hunting season, but so far 10/10. DNT clearly put a lot of thought and effort into this and it shows.I had one small issue mounting mine on the cz457: The rail mount had a corner that just barely interfered with the bolt handle so that the bolt could not fully unlock. I fixed it by filing a tiny bit (maybe 20-30 thou) off the corner of the scope mount.

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.
