Are you saying your laser isn't aligned with the center crosshair? Mine isn't either, in fact mine isn't even very close. It's out between the solid crosshair and the first dot to the left. It's also a bit above the horizontal bar. I'm very disappointed for the price that the laser isn't dead nuts on the crosshair. My 10Ks were very close to middle and you could adjust the reticle if need be. Hell even my Vortex and other cheap ones are usually close enough to be in the big aiming circle most of them use.EO held up my order for the range extenders, but I asked them to ship those later, and get me the binos. They are pretty awesome and if you haven’t ordered them yet, you will.
Great interface and one combo does it all. They are very clear too. My etched crosshair is off by a bit but I spent time today figuring out where it is for exact measurements.
Whoa, a whole mil off?Mine isn't either, in fact mine isn't even very close. It's out beyond the solid crosshair and the first dot to the left. It's also a bit above the horizontal bar.
Roughly .75 mil left and .25 high in the red circle below. But I hate that it’s out in blank space. It made ranging targets at our PRS22 finale last weekend harder than it should be. My buddy also has a pair and his laser seemed very close to center. Another friend had the gen 2 10Ks which were dead nuts center. I might reach out to Vectronix to see what they think but I have a couple important matches soon and can’t afford to send my binos away right now.Whoa, a whole mil off?
Mine is horizontally correct but it’s at the left edge of the crossbar and the first left dot.Are you saying your laser isn't aligned with the center crosshair?

I totally get that. Maybe someone watching this thread can send us ones that are centered like they should be.Roughly .75 mil left and .25 high in the red circle below.

I think my laser is a smidge left of center, still on the center cross hair. I've only been testing at home in the driveway. I need to get to a better environment with some test targets at distance before I can really render an opinion on the alignment.
That's what I was doing at home which is why I feel it's hitting just a hair left.use a street light with no back ground if you can. Works great to pinpoint location of beam
You can do the same for top and bottom using the light itself on the street light.Shoot one edge until you can't range, then shoot the other side of the pole. It's best to do this on a tripod. You're just seeing where it loses the ability to read. This is only for left and right.
It looks to me that the vector only pushes range, inclination and DOF to the kestrel. It does not pull any data from it such as atmospherics and wind speed/direction. (Edit: they say it does, but I haven't found any visual evidence yet. IE syncing the wind direction on the kestrel with the wind direction in the vector menu.Wondering the same thing. I am hoping there is a setting to change wind direction of off North but I haven't found it. Seems like firing solutions only come from your target direction. I haven't spent any time yet with it paired to my kestrel to see what that does with wind direction.
It's possible this is in one of the connectivity ecosystem updates slated for the end of this year. I did not ask about this specifically but I know that the E-DOPE connectivity, 4DoF connectivity and a number of other external software and device integrations are slated for the last couple of months of 2024.It looks to me that the vector only pushes range, inclination and DOF to the kestrel.

To change wind direction on the vector, long press the menu key, tap down once, then use left/right arrows.
Using these with my kestrel and Garmin 901, the connection is awesome. I'm not having any problems with them disconnecting and not picking back up with I do with other LRF.
I wondering if my Jun 5th pre-order will make it before or after the ports on the east coast strike.Is anyone having an idea of when EO will be in a position to fulfill orders placed in mid May?
I missed this new hurdle on the way of getting my hand on this beautyI wondering if my Jun 5th pre-order will make it before or after the ports on the east coast strike.
I'm in the same boat, pun intended...I wondering if my Jun 5th pre-order will make it before or after the ports on the east coast strike.
shipments are coming in Via Air. Will not affect deliveries on the Vector XI wondering if my Jun 5th pre-order will make it before or after the ports on the east coast strike.
Can anyone help me understand the two 10s located on the horizontal portions of the DMR reticle? It seems as though they are 5 mils off of each of the two T reticles. The vertical 10s below the Ts seem correct by being 10 mils below the T. The only thing I can think of is that they are 10 mils off from the center ranging cross, but the scaling doesn't look to line up. Maybe they do regardless of how it "looks"?
Ok looking at it again, and I think I maybe have it. The 10 mil is not from the center of the T, but from furthest inward part of the T on both reticles. Maybe someone can confirm?
I just tried this process on my 4DOF Kestrel and couldn't get it to connect. The Kestrel found the binos and connected according to the Kestrel, but the KSTRL icon did not show up on the HUD nor did it take any of the data. I had the app closed the whole time and had everything set to Sensor for Environment. I sent an email to support. I'll update with what I hear back.Ok, we spent all day using the binos. This is our observation on connecting a secondary device via Bluetooth;
With the app open on your mobile phone, the app takes precedence. Connecting the kestrel to the bino's wont occur. You must close the app to connect the Kestrel.
Once the Kestrel is connected, you can't change any settings in the App without disconnecting the Kestrel first.
Once the Kestrel is connected, it states KSTRL in the HUD, but nothing else, in the App or in the Bino's, is suggestive of the Kestrel providing information.
Prior to Kestrel connection, all fields in the App for environmentals MUST read LRF (sensor). Anything that doesn't will no be updated by the Kestrel.
The information labels don't change from "sensor" in the Bino's to indicate the Kestrel is providing the data. It was only through trial that we discovered it was.
The App, when the Kestrel is connected, reads "manual" for data input, again giving the impression the Kestrel isn't working.
There's some kinks here that don't intuitively provide information regards what is connected and how the data is being collected.
However;
With the App set to "sensor" for input types, turn on the Kestrel, and it's all working as it should. Range a target and you'll get distance and direction data to your Kestrel.
Environmental data collected by Kestrel is shared with the Bino's.
However (again);
Change the range manually in the Kestrel, and that information isn't sent to the Bino's. The Bino's will take on info from the Kestrel based on the environment, the Kestrel will take on range data.
So there you go. That's how connectivity works with the Kestrel and the Vector X - It's not very refined, but it does 100% work.
Does anyone know if a Kestrel HUD or E-Dope card works directly with the Vector X? I do not have any hands-on familiarity with either of those devices, but I was playing around with Target Card input system in the Vector X and it would incredible if it could continuously update an external HUD or E-dope card.
You can do it in the menu or you can click up or down on menu pad with the HUD displayed and it should change. I think I saw an Automatic brightness setting too but didn’t play around with it too much.Is there any way to adjust the brightness of the HUD?
I do not have a Kestrel but I believe most or all of it's functionality with the Vector X currently works. The E-Dope / Vector X integration is slated for the end of this year. It is my understanding that it does not yet work. I am also not exactly sure what this integration will look like.Does anyone know if a Kestrel HUD or E-Dope card works directly with the Vector X?

I have tried both Trasol and 4DoF. The integration between the Vector X and these apps does not yet work. This is what lead me to a general line of questioning about the Vector X integration with outside applications and products. At the time of release, most of these integrations are not finished. They are slated to be done by the end of the year.Anyone tired to connect to other apps? Trasol or 4DOF? Can't seem to get it to connect to either one.
The Calypso Mini AB is a different case than the other Vector X device integrations. This device will integrate with more AB containing products than just the Vector X and isn't yet integrating with any of them. I have one of these and it's current state is that it only works as a stand alone wind meter in Calypso's own Anemotracker App. It seems to work fine with that although, if you update the Calypso using the seperate configurator app, you will likely have to re-install the Anemotracker app after you update as it bugs out and won't find the Calypso otherwise. Honestly, I would probably just wait to update the unit until the functionality in AB actually works as that update seems a little buggy at the moment and doesn't really get you any functionality yet anyway. I know Calypso is looking into that update buggieness at the moment.Anyone have a Calypso Mini AB? Have you gotten it set up?
I got mine last week and finally got around to trying to pair it with the Vector X. Seems like you have to pair it using the Calypso weather app. It seems to be set up but since there is no switch I guess time will tell how the device will stay connected. My point is there does not seem to be any way to “bump” the Mini AB to wake it up. I will give it a go tomorrow.
