Sorry ladies, I’m currently in Amsterdam not enjoying myself. Apparently there’s this ITAR thing that wouldn’t let me bring my kids.

Anyone else that has a Skeetir-x willing to do any TTL pictures? Thanks.

It’s actually pretty hard to get TTL pics with the Skeet.
Hard to explain but the rear ocular of clip ons, UTM/T-50/Skeet/Etc, because the image appears “far”
I’ll see what I can do.

Since other ppl are “busy” in Amsterdam, here’s some quick ones.
I’ll try again later tonight.

Yeah, thanks for nothing Horta- left us hanging for weeks. Those pics are enough to inform me that viewing through the device must be damn near magical.

That’s a damn handsome man in that last pic. If only I could be so lucky.

Thanks for covering, Playa! It is very difficult to get TTL pics through the Skeet that look remotely representative of what it looks like with the naked eye. That damn battery cover makes it nearly impossible to physically attach most eyepiece adapters. The iPotato does an admirable job, but still falls short. I ordered a $700 telescope attachment rig from B&H just for this project and it arrived while I’ve been away. Using a Canon 1Dx MKII mated to a Canon 85mm f/1.2L lens with the new “universal” camera adapter should provide the optimal quality and work with each device in the (eventually) forthcoming comparo.

I’ll be in Europe for another 12 days having a terrible time.

That’s the most accurate representation of what it looks like through the SkeetIR-X I’ve yet to see.

How does it compare to the Pixels on Target VooDoo-S Clip-On Thermal Sight? The spec sheets say it has a pixel pitch of 12 µm where as the SkeetIR-x has 17 µm. The smaller the pixel pitch the better right?

The smaller the pixel size, the newer, but not necessarily better. If fact, if all other things were equal (and they’re not), a larger pixel size would actually be superior.

That said, I’d love to compare the VooDoo to the Skeet.

has anyone else been able to test the poi shift in clip on, if any at all? Maybe can someone do a 100 yard test?

Posted: 10/1/2019 7:26:03 PM EDT

[#44]

I put the SkeetIR X on my Anschutz to see what sort of POI shift I got in front of a day scope.

This is 3 shots off the tripod at 50 yards. No Skeetir

3 with the Skeetir installed. Now if you don’t have these targets just right it can be hard to see an aiming point. It was a little difficult this evening and the group opened up as you would imagine. This rifle will literally shoot bugholes, so I know it is not having a very distinct aiming point. Otherwise, for what it is, my unit didn’t have a terrible amount of shift. Distance was 50 yards FWIW.

I honestly would probably spend the money even if I only had one 14.
