I realize that with sidescan the deeper you go, the less horizontal view you have. What is the approximate effective depth range on the sidescan?

I like to keep it at 60' off to each side of the boat. Beyond that the detail is too small, far away.

10-20ft deep. I fish on ky lake on a regular basis and have found that setting my sidescan views at 50ft left and right will give you a more detailed image.

I back away from the camera and look back at it. I can tell if the camera is tilted up or down that way and just put a stick behind the top or bottom whichever I need to level it. About 10 or fifteen feet works well for me.

See light pattern at http://www.visual-3d.com/tools/photometricViewer/default.aspx?id=46727Short answer: 100 deg horizontal, 90 deg vertical light drops to 50%, beyond that it drops much faster (only 10% light at 110 deg horizontal, 120 deg vertical)

I view it from about 2 1/2 feet, but it depends on whether you are focusing on the entire screen, or just a part of it. For example, I use Google Drive, and the documents take up only a part of the screen. Sometimes I lean closer to look at small print. However, if you are using the screen to view movies, I would back up a foot. 7 feet would be too far for me.

Wish I was more helpful, I have been shooting subsonics, so around 100yards.If your just wondering about distance and visibility, I will check in day or so. Overall I like it

IMO terrain view is the only view to have ... updates when you get them are to both terrain and standard maps as far as I can tell. On a dark road, I find the terrain view gives me a better idea of what to expect ahead during the times I have to drive slowly. Now, I like to look at views when its safe, but at night there's nothing to see, except what's via the Garmin. I traveled up an unfamiliar windy mountain road on a trip a few months after purchasing my 3790, and "saw" the canyons and rivers running nearby. I'm not talking about side views, but a pseudo topographical mode that gave me enough information to feel I wasn't entirely "in the dark" going thru an area I might never pass by again. But that's just me. :)

I don't know how to determine the field of vision in terms of feet or yards. My impression was that I saw what I expected, both in range and detail. In fact, I was pleased with the range and the details when I first tried it. It took me a few minutes to get my bearings because this is the first night vision device I've tried. Perhaps to put it in perspective, I stood on my back deck and looked into the approx. 2.5 ft wide by 4 ft high window on my shed which is about 20 yards away--I could a rope inside the shed, window panes, and other objects inside the shed. So, at about 12 to 15 yards I could just see the 2.5' by 4' window missing (blocking out) only a few inches on the height. I hope this helps.

My belief is that the True Depth $53.00 glasses actually do give better depth results. This in not scientificbut my opinion. I would stick to the True Depth model.

I'm a bit of a newbie - so am probably not the best person to ask. I think to get really shallow depth of field you may need to look to add a different lens - but you'd really be better off asking an expert : )

Using it on a 7.62 x 51 Ruger 762 with a quick acquisition sight mounted above. Without the additional QA sight it was an issue because the FOV is less than my eyes deal with quickly at less than 150 yds. Its clear, and so far has held up well. At high power setting, you can see a really, really long way.

I'm 5'-11" and if I extend the legs and the center to their absolute maximum reaches, I can look through my viewfinder while standing stright up. Of course that's inside the house on an absolutely level floor. If your 6'-4" you'd need to lean over a little bit. Plus you need to consider outdoor photography on less than perfectly level ground, causing you to lean over even more. I'd say a tripod would need about 12" more "reach" for you to use it comfortably. I'd say, No, it won't work for you. You might try to research the Vanguard website because the 264AT is absolutely awesome for my uses.

vertical won't get you very far. but you can definitely get a great arc for decent distance. just won't travel as far once it hits the ground because it doesn't have as much oomph as when you shoot it flatter.

Any angle is fine. Shame, though, you won't be viewing it straight ahead, eye level...

You sight it in at 20 and 60 yds. There is a formula that you use to figure which sight tapes to use once it is sighted in. Very user friendly.

I have found it best at 15 to approx. 40 ft. Up close it seems to blur.But, I am more than pleased with the Moultree D-444.

if aimed right and put in the corner of a moderate sized room it should pick up everything, mines does well in low light but if you want to look back you should make sure you are able to see faces clearly

I purchased this primarily to use on my home defense weapon. I want to see what I'm shooting. Because many of my usage scenarios are inside, I actually went outside in the sunlight to check the range. There is a big difference when you are in the sunlight, but I could see it roughly 30 - 40 yards away.
