welcome

I think the first 200 units ATN received from China had black buttons with pre-174 firmware loaded.

Recent deliveries are red buttons.

Besides E-compass, a HUGE change was made to fixing the wandering POI that was seeminly introduced with 174 firmware.

I tested 173 firmware and it tracked fine and another user just verified 200 is back on track.

So what firmware do you have and what color are your buttons?


thank you been reading this forum for about a year now, good people here.
installed the 1.8.00.200 yesterday, buttons on my are red, reticle still goes out of picture on zoom

Maybe I got an oddball but the reticle is still wandering but have that issue resolved anyway so no big deal. Laser bore sighter and a shim here and all is well.
Red buttons with the 174 firmware as shipped to me. Upgraded to v200 yesterday.

we already discussed this. It was a fish finder that was promised.


Besides a range finder needs a laser of sorts to even operate. The x-sight doesnt have the capabilities to do this in its current build configuration.
I still think I got ripped on the fishfinder.. confused2

Here is an odd one I just updated I remember I was able to adjust crosshairs position with the phone now the option is gone.

Never mind it not there on the iOS ap but it is there on the android app

So I just checked they did put the cross hair adjustment in the android app. So the question I ask is how much harder would have it been to allow you to record from the app with the cross hairs as a backup feature? Also has anyone checked the hdmi out if the cross hairs are there that could be another option using a mini dvr

Stupid question I think I may have gotten a with a bad sd card reader. I can not get the card in. Just so I am sure what way should the text of the sd card face toward the rear of the scope or toward the front. Thanks.

was sucessful by holding it in but the fact of the matter is that this makes the recording feature inoperable.

I got have a question. Right now I'm thinking I might have to return my scope. I tried to sight my rifle in today and started at 50 yards. My rounds were hitting about 6-7 feet left of the target and I couldn't move the cross hairs over that far. My scope is completely locked down to my rifle but the scope is facing noticeably off to the right which would explain the extreme left POI. I made sure all the screws were tight on the mount and noticed that the mount itself is screwed into the scope crooked. So do I need to return the scope to have the mount fixed?

Yes return it. Take photos prior to shipping it.

You won't void the warranty by removing the scope from the mount and reversing it or checking for alignment problems and remounting.

Might save a wait if it is something simple that was assembled wrong.

I thought the little key was the only part of the mount that was reversible?

Well that stinks but that confirms what I was thinking I needed to do. I might try to unscrew the mount to see if it's something I can take care of but I'm thinking the pre-drilled holes in the bottom of the scope are off and it will never be correct.

Thanks again!

It is the ony part that is reverseable. When you take the key out you will also have a flat head screw in there that also secures the mount to the scope. You can not reverse the mount without leaving that screw out.
Do you have a way to measure it to see for sure its off?
If its so noticeable that you can see it with your bare eyes then it is an issue and I would be on the horn with ATN.
If your mount had the hold down nuts on the left as you look at it from behind then it is mounted right from the factory. I dont see where reversing it would do you any good, but then again wht do I know?
