I actually like the zoom FOV in the overall FOV. I had this idea for an optic years ago for a military sight, based on the vision of a falcon.
You have your wide FOV for situational awareness, and your zoom for finer aiming. Excellent videos again.
I wonder if you had a 120gr TSX in the first video for the quartering shot if it would have turned out differently.NRA Basic, Pistol, Rifle, Shotgun, RSO

The problem with PiP and what takes getting used to is seen in the second video when I tried to get on the running hogs and I was still looking at the top PiP crosshair but seeing the hogs in the larger picture peripherally. I swung the PiP onto them and they disappeared because the scope was actually pointed lower than them as seen in the big picture view. I made the correction and using the big picture, but the error on my part occurred.
Hopefully, my description makes sense. The feature is very neat, but not completely idiot-proof.Kill a hog. Save the planet.

Just watching the video, going back and forth between PiP and wide FOV, you can see that you need to train with it and have a plan for how to index on targets, track, and follow-up.
To me, it makes sense to target detect with the wide FOV low mag, then TGT ID with PiP, and begin the TGT engagement sequence through PiP. Once the shot has broken and you have runners, go to low mag/WFOV and use the aiming point there for movers.NRA Basic, Pistol, Rifle, Shotgun, RSO

I reallly like this PiP feature. I'd rather the device was a bit shorter, but the rest of it is pretty darn appealing at that price point....
Once I finish my 12.5" build I think I'll put thermal next on the plate of things to accomplish.Life member NRA, SAF, GOA, WVSRPA (and VFW). Also member WVCDL. Join NOW!!!!!
