There are five preset tactical reticles that can be easily changed. The large window is also an advantage if you are mounting a night vision monocular, such as a PVS-14, behind it. Information displayed in the field of view includes a battery life gauge, leveler to prevent cant, Bluetooth connection, compass heading and even a shot counter so you know exactly how many rounds you have fired. The Foresight’s display window is pretty big, measuring 33x20mm. What does this mean? Basically, as you look through the sight you can see multiple displays that provide information in addition to the aiming point or reticle.
Meprolight calls it the first “augmented” red-dot sight, projecting real-time data to the user’s field of view. Meprolight’s new Mepro Foresight red dot sight is a pretty interesting example of what can be incorporated into a red dot sight. Today all manner of shooting accessories incorporate technology not dreamed of 20 years ago. We have indeed stepped into the future with the Meprolight Foresight.Modern technology has steadily become more common in our rather traditional firearms industry. Next up we will try to get some real life photos of the sight for you in action. The sight has been used on and off for about 7 hours now and the battery life is shown at 90%. The sight can be zero’d thru the sight’s menu with its hardware buttons on the sight itself, or you can do it from the app which is much more convenient. If you select over write, the reticles are uploaded almost right away. Once the selection is made, it will ask you if you want to overwrite the reticles in the sight or keep them. I was informed that in the future the app will have ability to allow you to design your own reticle. Click on Reticles, it shows you the option to select 19 total reticles of which you can select up to 5 to upload to the sight. Once you enter the rifle profile, it shows you the reticle and zeroing icons. Once restart is complete, I proceed to setup a new profile for my rifle (it can save up to 10 profiles) which I quickly configure the profile image, rifle name and caliber. Once completed the sight will restart and the app will disconnect.
#Mepro foresight update
The update process takes less than 5 minutes to complete.
Obviously, do make sure your sight and phone are both fully charged. It detected a new firmware is available for the sight, which I wanted to update.
#Mepro foresight serial
Once the app is installed and with Bluetooth already turned on in my Samsung Galaxy Note smartphone, it found the sight immediately.ĭo note “1906DM26110” is the serial # of the sight, it is to avoid confusion if there are multiple Foresight units in the proximity of the phone.
#Mepro foresight full
It took approximately 15-20 minutes to bring it up to a full charge. The screen came on immediately showing battery life at 50%. First thing after we received the sight is to plug the USB-C charging cable to charge the unit. We finally have access to a production version of the Meprolight Foresight as well as an early beta version of the Android app. This is a follow-up article to our previous exclusive Meprolight Foresight hands-on at the NRA Annual Meeting in March 2019.
