Videos tagged with Parallax Error

The video argues that the Trijicon RMR is 'mid' compared to newer optics, citing significant parallax error at 25 yards. It highlights the Osite SE and Vortex Defender ST as superior alternatives with much less parallax shift, even on budget options. The speaker suggests the RMR's reputation for durability is comparable to older, less advanced vehicles.

This video provides an expert-level review of Chinese clones of popular Russian optics, specifically the OKP-7 and IP-87. The instructor, with extensive experience in firearms and optics, details the pros and cons of these budget-friendly alternatives, focusing on build quality, performance quirks like parallax, and value for clone builds. He contrasts the 'novelty' aspects of the OKP-7 clone with the more robust performance of the Novus Precision IP-87 clone, offering insights for enthusiasts looking to replicate historical or popular firearm configurations without the high cost of authentic Russian gear.

This video provides an expert review of the Holosun AEMS Pro Gold optic, comparing it to the standard AEMS and the popular HS510C. Ben Stoeger highlights the AEMS Pro's reduced parallax and the benefits of the gold reticle, especially for longer-range shooting and varying light conditions. He notes the larger objective window of the HS510C can sometimes cause issues in prone shooting positions.

This video details Hwansik Kim's USPSA Limited Optics Glock 47 setup, focusing on modifications for improved handling and performance. Key adjustments include a custom beaver tail cut for a more neutral grip angle, the use of a Surefire X300 Turbo light for balance, and insights into red dot sight zeroing and parallax. Kim emphasizes a front-and-back pressure grip technique over friction tape, explaining its effectiveness in various conditions.

This expert review by Hop critically analyzes the Trijicon MRO red dot sight series. It details the significant flaws of the original MRO, including parallax shift and focus issues, and evaluates the improvements and new quirks of the MRO HD and MRO SD models. The review concludes by comparing the MRO series to modern competitors from Sig Sauer and Holosun.

This guide details essential dry fire training techniques using a timer and dummy rounds. It emphasizes the importance of realistic weight with dummy rounds and proper sight/red dot indexing to improve shooting fundamentals. The video highlights how to use a timer for performance tracking and how to identify and correct parallax errors with red dot sights.

World Champion Kyle Litzie of Tactical Hyve provides expert instruction on achieving a proper cheek weld. This technique is crucial for consistent eye alignment with optics, minimizing parallax errors, and enhancing rifle stability for better recoil control. Litzie demonstrates adjustable stock solutions and DIY methods for improvised cheek risers, emphasizing proper head positioning and consistent tension to build muscle memory for faster, more accurate shooting across various rifle platforms.

This video re-evaluates the Aimpoint T2 optic, addressing previous audio issues and YouTube demonetization. The instructor highlights the T2's improvements over the T1, particularly in reducing parallax error and enhancing clarity for night vision use. Key advantages include its robust build, accurate turrets, and simplicity, making it a benchmark for zero-magnification sighting systems despite its higher cost.

This guide details how to assess parallax error in red dot sights, a critical factor for accuracy. The video highlights the Trijicon SRS's significant parallax issues compared to competitors like the Aimpoint T2 and Eotech EXPS3. It emphasizes that even expensive optics can have flaws, underscoring the importance of empirical testing.

This guide details the process of mounting an optic on an AK platform rifle. It covers selecting and installing optic mounts, adjusting for proper eye relief using a shadow ring technique, and setting the diopter ring for a sharp reticle image. The instructor emphasizes the importance of a tight mount and proper diopter adjustment for accuracy.

This video discusses the challenges of making a difficult long-range shot, emphasizing the impact of low light conditions and optic limitations on target acquisition. The speaker highlights how a faded red dot sight, combined with the blue tint of a Trijicon optic and the need to float the dot over glowing masses, significantly increases shot difficulty. The discussion also touches on the potential for parallax error at extreme distances.

This video analyzes the Holosun 509T, a closed-emitter optic, discussing its suitability for various firearm platforms. The presenter, Brassfacts, highlights that while closed emitters offer protection from elements, their application depends on the specific use case. The 509T is deemed ideal for open-carry handguns and offset/piggyback rifle mounts due to its durability, but less so for rifles due to parallax and battery life concerns. For concealed carry, the benefits are debated against potential printing issues and the practicality of open-emitter sights.
