Sounds like you're getting into the quick menu with a short press of the menu button, a longer press & hold should get you into the more detailed menu... Agreed on the ballistics app, could be cool but not a deal breaker for me either. Hopefully I can get out tonight and try to put a coyote down
Kudos to @Overwatch260 on the 1x menu setting. I was also able to figure out synching the ballistic app to the unit. Took a while of tweaking bc to get to match my Kestrel but good enough out to 300m now which is likely as far as I’ll ever shoot pigs/coyotes at night. REALLY impressed with this unit, and so far glad I didn’t get the RH25 v2 I nearly purchased a couple weeks ago. Time will tell on zeroing process and if will hold zero, but so far loving this unit. Pic shows the solution as it comes up, and is generated pretty quick. Only complaint so far is the WiFi is a little slow to connect. Would need to connect at beginning of hunt and leave powered up the whole time, which may be an issue the way I typically hunt. Doubtful gonna be able to make it out next weekend due to work, but now trying to move stuff around so I can get out the following week.
If anyone gets the chance to post pics at distance please do. Interested to see what these will do out past 500 ish.
Looks like the ballistics profile and solver are internal to unit once you push a profile to it. Was playing around with it in the rain/humidity this morning (worked great) and it was still generating solutions when ranging despite not having my phone with me.
Question for those that have the 640 clip on. I received mine on Saturday, finally got a chance to mount it yesterday. Is there something specific I need to do to turn on the range finder? I short press the down button, I get the orange square box but only get 3 dashed lines and “yd”. No range numbers.
I’ve tried adjusting all the settings in the range menu, even factory reset, but cannot get any range numbers.
I have a call into Athlon support, they’re looking into it on their end, waiting to see if it has to go back.
Just checking to see if I missed anything obvious.
Thanks for any help you all can provide.

I believe you short press the down button to enable the rangefinder then another short press to actually range an object?
Edit: not home to verify mine just going from memory lol

Mine has worked no issues messing around the yard, but still no formal hunting trip. Out of the box it’s been short press to bring up reticle, another short press to laze. Maybe mess with settings in long press menu? Could be on something weird?
Weird is the word for it. Changed batteries. Reset it to factory again a second time. Turned on the ballistic app. Short/short press and lookie there, distance numbers, and ballistic dope. Shrug.
Or I could be just goofy and didn’t do it right the first time.
Have to keep an eye on it, see if it reoccurs.

Excellent , also just checked mine to be sure. Also to clear/turn off the rangefinder it's a long press of the down button as well

May get some pics at least to show performance in wind/dusty conditions.
Trying to work through issue with a non spec AR rail. MI handguard on my 6.5cm AR10 not wanting to cooperate. Screwed down clamp as much as I can to the point it’s difficult to close, but thermal still wiggles. Would probably benefit from an ADM mount or other. Not sure I trust the Chinese mount. Can shim with electrical tape but wouldn’t trust it, and not a permanent solution.
Mounts fine to my MCX, so worst case can just use that tomorrow night when weather is better.
