The difference between FFP and SFP in Nador

Question: Which is better, FFP or SFP?

Answer: There is no absolute best option; the choice depends on how you use the endoscope.

• Suitable for those who constantly change zoom levels

Practical meaning:

It is most suitable for you if you are throwing at the net and rely on calculations and payouts.

Second: What is SFP?

SFP is an abbreviation for Second Focal Plane.

In this system, the network is of a fixed size, and only the target grows.

Practical meaning:

It is most suitable for you if your shooting is simple or at fixed distances.
