Gen 5 ATN X-Sight 5-25X Scope Review

<< < (2/5) > >>

Frank in Fairfield:
I always wanted one of those.
Paul, I have to say the scope is of very poor quality.
Should be sharper than what it is.
Do you know if they are springer rated?
My partner in Santa Rosa (caniborrowsomeammo)has one for his rats.
He likes it a lot.

I would think they would be springer rated since I see them mounted on some pretty powerful firearms.  If you want one, my advice (which I should have taken myself) is to get a refurb.  My 5-20X 4k Pro was a refurb, they are cheaper and I've not had a single problem with it.

X-Sight 5 #3 arrived today. Thus far, it's the best one yet, but it still has issues. Audio still isn't working when recording at 4K and 1440Pand the RAV still will not calibrate so no way to get it to work with a PCP, which means no access to one of the main reasons I wanted this scope and that's the ability to record at 240 FPS!

The Firmware is the same version as the last one, but the resolution on screen is better than the last one. I'm going to play with this one for a week or so before I decide if I'll send it back for a refund. During that time, I hope they will release a firmware update and the ATN Connect 5 App.

Here are three video I recorded with the most recent scope. Same conditions as the last 3 videos, 37 yards at 10X in all three resolutions. The scope is mounted on my .22 cal Huben k1.


This is recorded at 1440p at 120 FPS. No audio was recorded.


This is recorded at 2K at 60 FPS. As before, this is the only resolution audio was recorded.


This is recorded at 4K at 30 FPS. This is the best recording yet!

The better screen resolution on this scope helps focus better so these videos are a bit crisper and clearer than those I previously recorded with the last scope. It's slowly getting better, but IMHO it's not yet ready for public release!

Here's a picture of it mounted to my Huben K1:

Here's a video in NV Mode taken with the Gen 5 X-Sight 5-25X Scope. 



The only resolution available in NV more is 3840 x 2880, which is much better than the 1920 x 1080 resolution of the last generation 4K Pro.



Here's a video taken with the 4K Pro, same distance and same 10X zoom.

I spoke with Oliver at ATN this morning, he said they are waiting to release the Connect 5 App at the same time they release a firmware update to fix all the bugs. He had no firm date, so the wait continues. He also said they have received a lot of feedback about the 240 FPS recording only being available with RAV, so hopefully that will become a recording option under the video resolution dropdown when the firmware is released.

I also spoke to him about RAV not working on any of the PCP's I've tested it on, mainly the Huben K1. RAV works very well on that rifle with either of my 4K Pro scopes mounted, so hopefully, calibration sensativity will be tweaked so the Gen 5 works as well as the previous model.

He said they are also aware of the issue of audio not recording when recording in 4K and 1440P resolutions So, if all these issue are addressed in this firmware update, it should be a pretty significant update! Now, should they had waited to release the scope untill the App and firmware updtae were released, well, yeah! WTH were they thinking?
