Thanks Double.
Some new/changed features:
1) LRF (can be modified by Bering to mount on left or right)
2) Different alloy housing (which is stronger, heavier, longer)
3) 4 button operation vs 3
4) Really powerful magnetic USB connection
5) 4 AA internal power
6) Improved video recording quality. 5-minute length (video and audio)
7) Zoom. Stepped Zoom from 1x-8x and incremental .5x Zoom
8) 4 Gun profiles + 3 distance profiles per gun
9) 8 reticles + a custom reticle you can design
10) Additional Target Hot background
These are some of the main differences. The UI is totally changed. This is not the Super Yoter with an added LRF. New body, new firmware, new features, etc. To me the image is both better and worse than the Super Yoter 50. The overall image seems a little better. However, to me I found myself adjusting the image properties (brightness, contrast, sharpness) more frequently than my Super Yoter 50. I set my SY50 when I received it last year, and I haven't touched the settings yet. I seemed to be needing to adjust the settings to maintain the best image.

The units work with virtually any AA battery which is really nice including LiOn, NiMH, alkaline, Lithium, etc. Bering will include a set of 4 rechargeables with a charger with each scope. There is a setting to adjust the battery meter depending on type of battery, as the voltage varies considerably on different types of AA batteries.
In my tests, I got 4 hours without the LRF and 3 hours with it on continuously. However, for people who hunt cold weather or just want long battery life, do yourself a favor and just run a battery pack. The new magnetic USB connector works in any direction and has a super strong connection. I am typically not a big fan of magnetic scope cables. However, Bering put a lip around the magnetic housing, and it is stays incredibly well and holds super tight. It is the best magnetic connection I have tried. Run a battery pack and run all night and keep the 4 rechargeable AA's as a backup source. The scope will switch to the internal if the external runs out of power or if somehow the user yanks the connection out.

Night Goggles has a pre-order list and offers a PM discount and free shipping. We should be placing our order soon with Bering, so it isn't too late to get one. Price on the SY50 LRF with LaRue mount is $5,199. You need to contact me via PM or contact our sales department to get the PM discounted pricing.

Great video....
...but why didn't they spell it "KRISP"?...with a "K"
...or was that too close too Korey or Kirsch?

I like Krisp with a "K". I actually don't know how Bering is spelling "Crisp?" I probably saw a handout at SHOT on it, but I don't have any additional detail at this time.

If you mean, can you adjust PIP and base magnification separately, the answer is no. Although the LRF model is very Pulsar-like, allowing incremental zoom, it is still 2x whatever the base magnification is. If on base mag, the PIP would be 6x and if the base magnification is at 3.5x, the PIP would be 7, etc.

That's what I meant. The PIP in Pulsar is independently adjustable. On the BO when you adjust the PIP up in magnification the base magnification also increases. IMO it would be better to have this as it allows the FOV to remain as wide as base the magnification allows while giving you the magnified shot in the PIP. You can always go to full screen shots with whatever the scope allows.

It wasn't a lab rat from Pulsar that came up with that, it was a killer!
Pulsar has by far the best PIP system on the market and would LOVE if Nvision had the same system for my old eyes! Being able to independently adjust it how you want is a great feature all manufacturers should have IMO.

Nice job Kirsch.
I always enjoy your videos.
I have the original Super Hogster that I bought from you and Tom and love it but now I have the itch to upgrade.
This Super Yoter scope seems really nice.
I do have a question though.
In this video by Hunt TXHogs of the Super Hogster A3 LRF it shows the base magnification is 3.5X.
If the Super Hogster A3 LRF has a base magnificationf of 3.5x why would the Super Yoter LRF only be 3.0X?
Just trying to do some research on which one to get.
Which scope do you ultimatly recommend for longer distance coyote hunting: The Super yoter your curently using, The new Super yoter LRF (even though you had to adjust the image a lot), or the Super Hogster A3 LFR?
I think these being so new and not actually available yet leads to more confusion.....

If the Super Hogster A3 LRF has a base magnificationf of 3.5x why would the Super Yoter LRF only be 3.0X?This happens by a combination of the focal length, micron, and resolution. I don't believe any of the other factors changed in the A3 LRF, so the focal length most likely changed due to a change in the lens aperture.

Even though the SH LRF starts at 3.5x vs the SY starting at 3.0x, I would feel more comfortable shooting coyotes at longer range with the SY. The digital zoom stays considerably clearer as you start increasing the digital zoom. As for SY50 or SY50 LRF, it really depends on how much you need to rely on your range. The image will be close, so it becomes a matter of how well you can judge distance and know the scope/subtensions, etc. Based on the difficulty most people have in judging distance, then I would say the LRF.

Hey Korey,
If you can talk a Coyote into cooperating with you...... easy right
Could you show us what a 300-400 yard coyote looks like as you zoom in from 3x to 24x?
(Like the Coyote in your video at 8:48)
I'm not sure how far that deer was in your video at 1:15 but it seemed very clear and stayed clearer than expected as you zoomed all the way up to 24x.
