Here is a link to the video I made today. It will stay live until I go to bed tonight, at which point it will scheduled for public viewing on Wednesday evening.
If you can find it cheaper elsewhere, buy it! I don’t get commission, but I do hope if people buy them through the link I will get other gear to test🙂

Nick where did you get those little targets from that you were shooting?
 
Prices have gone up because a lot of stackable AliExpress sales vouchers have disappeared because the latest (Valentine's Day?) sale has just finished; wait a couple of weeks for the next sale.

I was going to hit buy this morning because I had got the price down to €160 with coupons, but I have missed out.
But AliExpress sales happen every couple of weeks, so just hold out for the next one.
 
I said this in another topic and I'll repeat myself because it makes me oh so sad to see people waste money on this scope:
I would definitely NOT recommend buying the Goyojo GS515; I bought one to see if it's a cheap contender against the Zulus. It's a lot worse; performance is mediocre at best, high base magnification (FoV felt very narrow and zoomed in), wrong type of batteries (they're small capacity and harder to source), recorded sound is horrible; muffled like the mic is inside the case and it almost picks up nothing but the clicking of the buttons or touching of the scope, it's heavy and the user interface is not the best, and there's no LRF or BC on board.
8 years ago it would've been something but nowadays you'll be wasting money if you can buy a used Zulus for a little more. Even a Pard DS35 is way better than the Goyojo. The DNT/Arken Zulus V1 (or the Sytong/Falcon HT70) is the best night vision bargain there is, with quality night vision image that is still among the best to date.

To add to this; find a used Sytong HT60 or Pard NV008 if you want the cheapest nv scope. I never had the Pard NV008 but I know from first hand that the HT60 is miles ahead of the GS515.

All of which are at least twice the price.

I would imagine those seriously intending to use it for their living in pest control would buy better NV scopes or masses of disposable income.

If I had serious intentions and the money spare, I''ve no doubt I would. But as a Hobbyist - not worth throwing £400 -a grand plus into a scope - none of my rifles have cost more than that. It would be like arguing to someone why buy a cheap PCP you should go straight for an all singing all dancing Daystate or better with all the bells and whistles 😪
 
If these work as intended they are easily worth 150 new. I bought a Megaorei which i just couldnt zero properly so that was 75 quid wasted.

In the UK you might be able to get Zulus and Pards cheap secondhand, and i appriciate this is a UK based forum, however for some of us living abroad thats simply not an option. They are often far more expesive new (€1000) and second hand they dont lose much either.

That is my main concern with the Goyojo Gs515. Can you zero it in at 25/30 yards and does it keep its zero. If it does I'll be happy.

In 2026, the Chinese New Year (Spring Festival) holiday in China spans nine days from
February 15 to February 23, 2026. I'm not going to panic just yet, they tend to shut down like we do for Christmas

They have a backlog of orders . Why not send mail ? Just to say they finish work at 6 pm our time 10 am, I am waiting on info for the Diopter setting so if it is suitable i shall look at buying one, But only one year warranty ideal unless there is a good return package,
