Night Vision Super Yoter C - Any Experience Yet?

I’m looking to get one of these units soon, is the situation still the same? The dealer I’m going through reached out to Bearing yesterday and didn’t get a response. I guess they’ve still got their hands full?
The unit that I think supersedes it at this point with dedicated TWS usage, LRF, and narrower FOV is the HCH50R that sports the new 10um sensor. I'm getting mine in for testing tomorrow and will do a full review on it! The pixel density is quite impressive in clip on mode with 87.7 pixels/degree. For reference, a Voodoo M sits at 100 pixel/degrees. That's some really impressive pixel density from a cheaper unit, and perhaps the current king in its category of 50mm-lensed units that exceeds the V2 SYC.


I calculated the display in clip on mode to be 720x540 at 1x optical unity (1.125 pixels in the display per 1 pixel in the core).
 
Look forward to it.
First report: definitely a good thermal. Build construction is very nice, good eye piece glass, greater dedicated TWS modes, responsive LRF, ans decent user interface. As a clip on, it has impressive demag levels and lacks distortion at higher magnification levels compared to the SYC. I would say the push magnification level is about 15x optical, which is exactly what my previous estimations were. This can handle 10x optical quite easily.


Pictures below are a wood pile about 50 yards away at 3x optical then 20x optical with a NF 2.5-20. For a $6500 unit....I'm throughly impressed. I'll get some more LR pics/footage tonight and get it posted up because I've found that the detection range is extremely far 🙂.

Iray says ballistics are incoming for clip on mode as well which is a great feature for the price. Sounds like a few bugs in the first batch of units but software fix should be out in the next week or so. At the $6k price point it’s a lot of unit for sure

How is the "collimation" process? My biggest bitch with the SYC "v2" has the lack of FINE adjustments. So on some rifles you get lucky have it's solid. On others you'll almost never dial it completely in (as a clip on that is).

Sounds like it is so simple they don't even have gun profiles (for what it's worth). Sounds like clip on mode is 2 buttons held simultaneously and then a dot appears on the center of the screen. Align that dot with the center of the reticle and you should be good to go. TBD if that collimation holds for other optics too but I doubt it

I feel like that is how ALL of these should be. But I also have no idea what goes into making them work so who knows if it's just that easy to add a damn dot that we could just line up lol Would also make it wildly simple to check if removed or swapped to another rifle.

Here's some more footage/photos that I posted today. So far, I'm very impressed and in my opinion, this is the closest that Ive seen a thermal come to a "BAE" type image.

As a clip on:


As a dedicated TWS:

Can confirm. The reticle addition is very nice and extremely easy to use. Also serves as a great reference point when taking the unit off of a rifle and putting it back on.

from your video it looks like it take 10x very well. I wish I could test these out using live animals with how often I'm out shooting deer and pigs. I'll be interested to see how well the LRF actually works on animals. It's one thing to range steel or yotes in a cleared field, a whole other to range deer or pigs in peanut fields.

Still waiting on the damn Halo-C to see if it's legit work it for a true long range clip on (as in making shots on deer at 1k reliably)

One dealer I talked to said he got 1400y ranges back off a tree and that was hand held not off a tripod or anything. Will see how it does on ranges later this week as I’ve got cattle and deer mixed out to 850y behind my place most nights
