    Night Vision Reap IR battery housing issue? Cracked.....

    Well I hate to be the guy to revive this thread but... So I pull my M300W Patrol from the safe last night and go to install battery. Hear noise, see crack, and brass insert comes out. So I’m now in the “cracked battery housing” boat. Except, I think my boat is sunk. My unit is IR Defense...

    Night Vision Helmet pad kits for NV? (Edit: Also considering a new helmet)

    Since we're talking TW here can I ask what is probably a dumb question. I have a TW...got it before they turned traitor. Anywho, I need to order a Surface ANVIS Mount (SAM). What is the correct "helmet style"? Is it ACH/MICH or AFSOC (Ops Core/Crye) or Ops Core FAST / Crye Airframe? I feel...

    Night Vision Anvis 9

    Ha yeah airborne. And yes your absolutely correct there is a certification requirement under Part 135 and Part 121 as well. But I know of no operators doing under Part 121. For me its all Part 91. Plus there are 2 crew members. One pilot flying and one pilot monitoring. PF is never under...

    Night Vision Anvis 9

    For me, since I am using them on a flight helmet, the ball detent is a requirement. The option to switch it out to dovetail (or even leave ball detent) and use on my ground helmet would simply be a bonus. Seems either another ANVIS 9 or Sentinel is the only option for that? Put another way, I...

    Night Vision Anvis 9

    So the ANVIS objective is different. Coating differences too. What about the ocular? Is that different on ANVIS as well? Regards, G. Optometrist

    Night Vision Anvis 9

    I don't want to hijack OP's thread but quick ANVIS 9 question also... Currently use ANVIS 9's. Have not however used something like Sentinel or RNVG? I always hear how some guys love ANVIS glass and I've never really known the difference. What do they mean by ANVIS glass as opposed to...

    Night Vision TNVC Torch Pro Pressure Switch?

    Yes Sir, you are entirely correct. I have most certainly been using the wrong terms. What's more, I just looked closer at the TNVC web site and saw the photos of the "Torch Pro" (I think I got it right that time), where it clearly shows and says "compatible with surefire XM tail caps". The...

    Night Vision TNVC Torch Pro Pressure Switch?

    Vic, Yes that is exactly what I am looking for. I just wasn't sure if that one would work. Does that tail cap with pressure switch just screw into the body of the Da Torch Pro? Or are you using that tail cap pressure switch on another surefire light and you just put the Torch Pro head on...

    Night Vision TNVC Torch Pro Pressure Switch?

    Hey guys, What is the best / most efficient way to add a pressure switch to Da Torch Pro? I glanced at the Surefire website, but didn't see anything that jumped out at me. I know Da Torch head will fit on some of the Surefire lights (I sometimes use it on my old 6P), but I want to add a...

    Night Vision FLIR M18 Battery Question

    SkyPup, I swear you are like a FLIR demigod. You certainly give a guy something to aspire to in terms of FLIR acquisitions. Its funny...to hear you say you use your 5000 dollar LS-64, or your 6500 dollar RS64-35mm, instead of your 10,000 dollar M18 to save batteries. All while using a PAIR...

    Night Vision Look what the UPS dude left on my front step! FLIR!!!

    Yea nice scope indeed. I would love to hear from guys with either of these 60mm versions on the focusable objectives. How do they like it? Easy or hard to turn? How much turn for how much focus at what distance? Do you find yourself changing the focus much? Does it really sharpen up the...

    Night Vision FLIR M18 Battery Question

    SkyPup, Since the number of batteries is not the same, I know its not an exact measurement / comparison in time. But would you guess your T70 and T75 to consume power at a similar rate? Regards, G.

    Night Vision FLIR M18 Battery Question

    I asked this exact question when I placed the order. I was told, (and the paperwork upon receipt confirmed) April 2014. I was mainly asking as it related to the reported very stiff objective focus which was supposed to be fixed. Mine is fine I guess. Its a little stiff, but not blister...

    Night Vision FLIR M18 Battery Question

    Yea I concur with everything you said. However, just to clarify, are you saying the M18 draws power even when turned off? Or are you saying it draws quite of bit of current during the shut down cycle? I would be curious to know why in the world it would draw any power when totally off?? That...
