Autumn Lawrence's Review of ADE Advanced Optics Zantitium PRO Series Motion Awake Red Dot Sight
If you're looking for a reliable and versatile red dot sight, the ADE Delta PRO red cycle dot sight is definitely worth considering. It comes with all the necessary components you may need to mount it on your rifle's Picatinny rail and offers a wide field of view, making it easy to acquire targets quickly and accurately. It's worth noting that the ADE Delta PRO red cycle dot sight is also incredibly compact, making it an ideal option for those looking to add a red dot sight to their pistol slide. The 2/32 MOA circle dot reticle size is also perfect for this application, providing a clear and precise aiming point without obstructing too much of your field of view. The cool feature of this sight is that you can actually choose from 3 different reticles - red dot, red cycle, and red cycle + dot. To switch between reticles simply press and hold the "UP" button for 3 seconds when the sight is turned on. Each of the reticle types has its own perfect application scenario making the sight very well suited for various shooting conditions.
This sight has a solid construction and feels sturdy and durable. It comes with a Picatinny mounting base pre-installed, which can be removed, and the sight can be directly mounted to a pistol slide that has a Doctor compatible cutout. This provides a great deal of versatility when it comes to mounting options. The sight uses a small CR1632 battery, and its battery compartment is hidden on the top side of its base, so you don't need to remove the whole sight to change it, but you'll need a small wrench, which is included. This is an excellent option for battery compartment design IMHO as you are not going to throw away your zeroing and have to re-zero it all over again when you change the battery because you don't need to remove the sight to do it! The red dot sight comes with a protective rubber cover that you can put over it while transporting your firearm. It has 9 levels of visible brightness. The two brightest of the 9 levels are almost indistinguishable though, but it's sort of normal for red dots. There is also one IR illumination mode, so if you are planning to use it with your NV goggles, look no further. Pressing the left side "UP" button for 3 seconds turns the red dot ON and holding the "DOWN" button for 3 seconds turns it OFF. The adjustments on this sight are also easy to make, and it comes with a small Allen wrench for making any necessary changes. The one extra safety feature that I did not find yet in any other - red dot sight has lockable windage and elevation to make sure that it holds zero under even heavy .45 recoil - there are two "LOCK" screws on the rear end of the sight.
The main selling point of this red dot sight is the motion wake-up feature. It shuts off the sight after about 5 mins of inactivity and turns on immediately once you pick it up. Apparently, this feature works very well and the sight lights up immediately as soon as I pick it up. This renders it perfectly suited for home defense situations and SHTF situations when you need to grab your weapon and be ready in seconds. If you store your firearm for a long time and want to save the battery, you can completely shut down the sight by holding the "-" button.
To summarize, if you're looking for a cost-effective solution for close range target acquisition, this sight definitely works. It has a large field of view, and the lens has excellent clarity. The 2/32 MOA red cycle dot sight is a particularly good way to engage close-quarters targets, evaluate target distance and track targets. I had no issues with zeroing it and it holds zero perfectly when shooting a .357 caliber pistol round. I think it's worth the money.
*** TL;DR ***
Overall, I would highly recommend the ADE Delta PRO red cycle dot sight to anyone looking for a reliable and accurate accessory for their firearm. It offers impressive performance, solid construction, a wide field of view, a versatile 2/32 MOA red cycle + dot multi-reticle, and an excellent shake-awake feature. All at a very reasonable price point. Whether you're a seasoned shooter or a beginner just starting out, this sight is definitely worth considering. Inclusion of an IR illumination mode enhances its usability even further in context of nighttime applications. This sight is by far one of the best I've used, and I do not hesitate to give it a solid 5 stars rating. Great sight for the money.
