Thermal clip-on for 4x ACOG: VooDoo-M, N-Vision Halo-C, Excelitas Dragon C12-XR, or something else?
There is a LONG line of companies that failed to match BAE’s 20 year old core including every company listed in this thread. I sincerely hope there is a worthy replacement. So far every promise, every “our specs are better” has fallen flat on it’s face. A couple of you posting in this thread are...- Evolution 9

Not to my knowledge, and to your earlier concern, you’ll have no problem distinguishing between an AR and an AK at 100 yards with a Voodoo-S. Real world resolution is noticeably better than the pictures show, partly due to the movement of the object and of the thermal itself.- Evolution 9

Never encountered an issue with the Wilcox mounts but I’m sure they aren’t immune to sand.- Evolution 9

This specific one, about a year. I currently have three, and I’ve been using them much longer than that (several years).- Evolution 9

The Wilcox mount is a force-to-overcome mount. It ALSO has a locking feature you can choose to use or not use. There’s a hole with threads that takes any blue (or black I guess) PEQ15 lockout screw. Simply press the release button and insert the screw. Now you have a force-to-overcome mount...- Evolution 9

Thermal clip-on for 4x ACOG: VooDoo-M, N-Vision Halo-C, Excelitas Dragon C12-XR, or something else?
The extended mount adds weight and shoves the weight of both scope and mount forward, making a meaningful weight difference and a very significant difference in balance and perceived weight. Then the clip-on has to be mounted further forward, further exacerbating the problem. You’re right that...- Evolution 9

The correct answer is both. If that’s not an option, the correct answer is the Voodoo-S. The weight and FOV difference will matter. If you compare only the image at 100 yards you’ll obviously choose the M. There’s a lot more to consider. That’s like choosing a silencer for max sound...- Evolution 9

Night Vision Best used thermal clip on $4K-6K
That was regarding the LWTS and was primarily for clarification. Stick with a UTM-X and you can ignore that issue. Search “thermal collimation” or “thermal collimated” to get an understanding of what it is and why it matters. For some people’s needs, it’s absolutely essential. For others it’s...- Evolution 9

Night Vision Best used thermal clip on $4K-6K
You said used, and used, BAE UTM-X fits your price criteria and is hands down (by a mile) the best clip-on in that price range. Not only does it have the coveted BAE image, it’s actually collimated (unlike every other 640 option in your price range *). * LWTS is also in your budget and is...- Evolution 9
