Pixfra Volans V850 LRF

My local red was showing me one the other day. It was very impressive.
Rated. I've a video rolling up through the mag range at night I did - will work out how to upload it.....
I like it overall, but think they might have done better in a couple of areas:
1) the field-of-view feels tight
2) the display is just 800x800, so you get a poorer image in the scope than on recordings
3) I can't see a way to change the appearance of the secondary aiming mark (green diagonal cross)
4) audio recording is recoil-activated not sound-activated, so won't work on a PCP
5) menu navigation is a bit counterintuitive/inconsistent: you have to wind the turret anticlockwise to go down the menu items, but clockwise to increase the values within an item. (Or maybe that's normal... In any case, I keep doing it wrong!)

Oh, one other thing...
You can't name profiles. This was originally the case with the Alpex, then Hik got feedback and changed it. It looks like Pixfra are going to need telling, too.
I'm surprised they haven't looked more closely at the market leader and made a stronger play at beating it on the easy stuff as well as the hardware.
