I’m new to the realm of thermals, so bear with me, but is this saying the Jockey does not require collimating to your day optic?

‘The Jockey 640 easily mounts in front of your existing 1-6x day scope with no additional zeroing required’

I'm looking to like the Sidekick 640 with proper settings too. I really want to like it but it's falling short. Blooms when going from terrain, trees etc. to near the sky line. Tried a variety of settings but it still doesn't look as good as an old 384 I have. Granted the 384 has a 35mm lens but is 1x and does clip on, weapon scope and scanner, just to heavy for helmet mount. Am I missing something? I have 5095 firmware.

I had that issue but it's dependent on the settings. I operate mine on the Detect and Forest settings, I think decreasing gain on detect so that there is less bloom when looking up. Got to find those porcupines in the trees.

How do I adjust the settings on the presets like "Forest" and "Detect"? I was under the impresion that the settings on the left side of the screen only apply to "Default" setting on the right side. If I can get rid of the blooming I'll keep the sidekick 640. Also do you see faint lines on the disply even after nucing?

Nope! They apply to whatever setting you have on the preset at the time you mess with them.

Thanks! Just found that out messing with it. Can't get rid of all the blooming but I think that's what you have to live with with that 19mm lens and large 24 deg FOV. It's just not as apparent in my old Incendis 384 becaus it has a 35mm lens and smaller 10.7 deg FOV so it's more forgiving. But that Sidekick 640 is small and handy so it's going on my helmet.

When I get a chance I will try to take a pic of my settings to see if that helps.
