I received my Wraith late last week. I was able to get it zeroed and get a few stands in. Initial thoughts are it is capable of excellent daytime video. Zeroing the scope was similar to virtually all digital scopes and thermals I have used and was easy. Overall construction seems solid. The buttons/controls could be an issue if wearing gloves and could also be in the way of certain IR light configurations. Focus ring can be sticky and can be hard to find especially if you have an IR light mounted. I added an Extension which I also have on my Flir PTS536 which helps. I feel the video recording is a little jittery. I believe it is a combination of the high resolution video and fairly high base magnification. It seems like they need an anti-shake setting like video cameras.
After sighting it in, I had time for a few stands and had a coyote pose really nice for the Wraith. The only problem was my shot was low and right. Found chunks of fur and blood, but it wasn't a good hit. We all miss, and although not technically a miss, it was poor shot placement on my part. The coyote on the video is about 150 yards away for reference. Here is the video.
I haven't used the ATN 4K, but I did use an ATN Xsight II. The Wraith appears to record higher quality video in comparison to my previous XSight II. However, as mentioned a lot on this forum, the Wraith does not capture audio. There is a video already in the Night Hunting section of Predator Masters about sighting in a Wraith, so I didn't spend a lot of time on that for this video.
I will do a separate post on night vision abilities when I get some night footage captured.
