    Night Vision IR Off road lights?

    From David's suggestion above using these lights: Cheap 96-LED InfraRed Illumination Light for Night Vision (DC 12V) I'm also thinking maybe a pair of these might work:CMVision IR30 WideAngle IR Illuminator - Amazon.com For that price, it would be worth the try I'm wondering if it would be as...

    Night Vision Formal intorduciton of a new thermal dealer

    Before I posted in any more threads about thermals or night vision, I thought I would take a moment and formally introduce myself. I've only been a member of Snipers Hide for about 18 months. I first came here, to the Night Vision Devices forum, while I was researching thermals for a personal...

    Night Vision Best bang for your buck in thermal imaging optics?

    Ok. You and I have been talking apples and oranges. When you co-witness your thermal reticle to the day optic, you are not aligning the thermal, you are just transferring your zero from your day scope to your thermal. Nivisys allows you to actually adjust the thermal image alignment. The...

    Night Vision Best bang for your buck in thermal imaging optics?

    Skypup, if you have your day scope zeroed and "dead on" then you attach your thermal and shoot without co-witnessing your reticles are you dead on or do you have to co-witness your reticles before shooting to be "dead on"? Now, if you are "dead on" with your day scope and you move your THERMAL...

    Night Vision Best bang for your buck in thermal imaging optics?

    I'm not talking about moving the reticules. Moving the aiming reticule of a clip on into alignment with the reticle of the day optic does not align the thermal ballisticaly with day scope. Moving the ballistic reticle in the thermal moves the zero of the thermal when used as a stand alone scope...

    Night Vision Best bang for your buck in thermal imaging optics?

    Shoots 1 MOA or <1 MOA? My point was that the Nivisys unit has a user alignment process that allows the user to get "dead on" at 2x as it is in 1x. I don't know of another manufacturer that allows the user to adjust the point of impact to "dead on" in zoom mode.

    Night Vision Best bang for your buck in thermal imaging optics?

    The Nivisys UTAC series had a shift in point of impact of around 2" at 100 yards. However, they have since developed a new alignment process and now their clip-on thermals no longer have a noticeable shift in point of impact. They are now getting less than 1 MOA at 100 yards and the two units...

    Night Vision Prefered therma device

    These decisions are hard enough but I'm going to toss out another option that you might want to consider. Take a look at the Nivisys line of UTAC's such as the UTAC-32M clip on thermal. It's a solid built military no frills thermal. Works great, VERY rugged and at $7075, it's a great price! You...

    Night Vision Looking for IR helmet mount light suggestions.

    I love the Torch Pro I've had. Works great helmet mounted and lights up the fields well. I've shined tree lines at 600 yards with it with no problem spotting pigs and deer. Love it!

    Night Vision Best bang for your buck in thermal imaging optics?

    As Whole Bunches says below, the "No Zero Shift" in the Nivisys UTAC-32 series is achieved through the zoom alignment tool. Basically, you tell the UTAC what point to center the zoom on so that the zoom centers on your point of aim. Works well. What part of Central Alabama are you in? I might...

    Night Vision Best bang for your buck in thermal imaging optics?

    Have you looked at the Nivisys UTAC-32M? It's a clip on thermal and VERY versatile. It's designed to mount on a picatinny rail in front of a day scope so no zeroing required. It has an internal reticle that can be turned on so it can be mounted as a stand alone optic. It's also very light and...

    Night Vision T14x thermal.... Too good to be true?

    Coletta, if you're in the Memphis area then you are only 2 hours from Starkville and Security Solutions with the Nivisys line. Might be worth a phone call or the drive down.

    Night Vision T14x thermal.... Too good to be true?

    Check with Security Solutions in Starkville, MS. They carry the Nivisys line of thermals AND they do demos. They'll take you out at night and let you try them out. Noticed that you are from Louisiana. If you're an LSU football fan, LSU plays MSU in Starkville on October 5. So there's a good...
