This may be old news and already hashed out.
If so, advise link to current thread and I will delete this.

Is this thermal clip-on new or is it just an existing HALO / NOX family device stuck in front of a day optic?

If new, is there anyone here with any hands-on experience and feedback?

For the techno nerd, does the limited info listed sound good?

This is indeed a new offering. The specs look and sound amazing. I believe this is going to be about as close to "milspec" as we are going to get re: durability and features for less money than competing Pixels on Target products.

I think the rumored price was 10K.
Thanks for the reply.

I have not been taking the time to keep up with all the newest iterations and offerings hitting the market, so I'm dumb as a rock on what is new vs old.

I will sit on my hands until somebody gets more info to post.
 
Definitely looking forward to seeing the Halo-C, they said release date is this summer. Ballistic calculator, range finder, several profiles can be saved for various rifles, etc, all big items.

Iray has a new 10 micron hybrid clip-on around the same price point they plan to release this year as well. The Iray also has a range finder and ballistic calculator but can be used as a stand alone optic as well as a clip-on.

I prefer to buy American with Nvision but Iray is competing so well it’s tough.

I have zero hands on experience with either unit but I do own a NOX18 and RL25v2 so a small sample from each company with similar units. I prefer the NOX for image quality but the 25mm lens of the RL25v2 adds some capability (to be expected from a larger lens / smaller FOV).

Just looking at specs, I’d guess the Iray hybrid compact will perform between the Nvision 50mm unit and say a Voodoo M albeit without a BAE sensor. The Iray has a 7.3 deg FOV while most 50mm units with a 12 micron sensor have 8.5-8.8 deg FOV.

If they are priced the same, I’ll take the Nvision because BAE sensor and optical collimation. Will be interesting to see how real world use stacks up though.

Excited to see a 10um sensor out there for sure
