For those that use these have you all had any problems in low light(early morning)? Thanks for any input.

Keeping the brightness adjusted until it gets good light is the only thing I had to be aware of. I had zero issues seeing through it in low light.

Nope just have to be aware for the first 30 minutes of light or so like bottomland06 stated. I have to click it up every so often as the sun starts brightening up the woods or the reticle will disappear. I despise an overly bright reticle

Nope. Mine is green, but I keep mine super low in low light and up the brightness with daylight like was said. Great sight.

I love mine, Green, believe it will auto adjust, but I keep it on manual.

I like that. I bought some sort of 3D printed cover that has served me really well. Can't remember where I ordered it from.

This is what I got. Like I said, I don't remember who makes it but it works really well. Still surprises me a sight that nice doesn't come with a protector.

I also have been looking for something like that. If you happen to remember how makes it, please share with us.

Mine was one of these. It's hard plastic, snaps on, and has held securely as long as I've had it: https://hugoindustries.com/products/dust-cover-for-holosun-407c-and-507c-optics

But looks like there are some rubber ones on Amazon too that might be good: https://www.amazon.com/OPD-Protective-Scope-Cover-HoloSun/dp/B09NJKR2DG
