    Night Vision What illuminator is close to the performance of a PEQ-15?

    The LDI DBAL D2 or SPIR, both rated at 600 mW for their IR LED illuminators, will easily match the performance of the PEQ-15 IR laser diode illuminator to around 650 yards. For greater distances, such as the 1000 yards you describe, the IR laser diodes have better coherence in their outputs...

    Night Vision dual spectrum lights

    The Surefire 952V gives 150 lumens white-light output, with a nominal 120 mW rating on the IR LED lamp. Performance-wise, the "sweet spot" of the white-light illumination of the 952V goes out to around 175-200 yards, giving clean, bright illumination that is useful for target recognition at...

    Night Vision So..what technique do you use to do your night shooting?

    The method and equipment depends on a lot of factors. For example, for assault rifle in a dynamic situation under 200 yards, head / helmet mounted NV with thermal overlay and IR laser aimer on the rifle gives superior detection and lightning fast target acquisition. For more stationary, long...

    Night Vision Can any type of laser be seen with a Thermal scope?

    No. Visible lasers and near to middle infrared lasers used with night vision do not produce a trace or projection (i.e. dot) that is visible to thermal imagers. There are far infrared lasers that have sufficient signature on their beam trace and projections to be detected by thermal imagers...

    Night Vision Qiuck question on viewing distance with a PVS-14?

    If you can engage a coyote at 200-300 yards in daylight with your Eotech, you'll be able to do the same with PVS-14 + Eotech in low light / night time conditions. The thing to keep in mind is the amount of the target that is covered (obscured) by your aiming reticule / dot at 200 - 300 yards...

    Night Vision Which NOD's, helmet mounts, helmets, etc.? Help appreciated here!

    Strykervet, The TC-series ACH/MICH helmets are all threat level IIIa rated per NIJ standards. I understand that the TC-series produced by MSA is now under different naming, such as "A1" for what used to be "TC-2002". If you can get the mid-cut helmet (A1, TC-2002), I think you'll find that to...

    Night Vision California "Sniperscope" definition

    Hey Vic - I hear ya', Man! The problem with those old and senseless laws that remain on the books is that they are still "active" mandates that can be leveraged by an over zealous Cali state prosecutor to trump up charges ... then there's the "spirit of the law" argument that the state's...

    Night Vision California "Sniperscope" definition

    The AN/PVS-22 uses a cadiotropic lens system that could, under the definition you've referenced, be interpreted as a "telescope". However, there appears to be two components that form the prohibited item: a "telescope" and a "source of projected infrared light". By that definition, it would...

    Night Vision FLIR T70 & T75 specs

    Welcome, SkyPup! Always glad to help. RF wireless is great for the local data transmissions (feeding from the sensor devices) with Cellular wireless data post uplink to the Internet for broadcast to the presentation devices, which can be a PC box, notebook PC, iPad, iPhone, Android, etc. If...

    Night Vision FLIR T70 & T75 specs

    Thanks, Vic! One of the more fun variations of this mash-up imaging theme, on the presentation side, was to open the guts on a pocket pico projector to leverage its image processor but replace the wimpy "eye safe" visible laser diodes with IR laser diodes rated at 3000 mW each. Then, using...

    Night Vision FLIR T70 & T75 specs

    All you need to do is cut the cable to the desired length, and re-terminate the cable on the end where the RCA plug was -- and you're done. Inside the cable, the wires are no different than what is typically used in other electronics to transmit data and power. For imaging, I've set up the...

    Night Vision FLIR T70 & T75 specs

    Welcome, SkyPup. The Wilcox Ind. filters for the PVS-14, etc. are friction-fit onto the ocular snap ring. While the ocular on the T60 has a similar diameter, it doesn't use a snap ring but instead has a raised ridge molded into a rubber sleeve. This ridge is tapered and doesn't provide firm...

    Night Vision FLIR T70 & T75 specs

    Amber Filter The T70 was not specifically optimized for the ACOG, the T60 was and initially as a joint effort with Trijicon. If you peel away the second layer of rubber cemented onto the T60 objective cover, you will see the Trijicon name and logo beneath. The ACOG is now being phased out...

    Night Vision T-60 Flir

    While I was away from these boards the past couple of months, I've received PM inquiries about my custom, outboard, portable, rechargeable, high-capacity battery pack for the FLIR T60. My apologies to all who have inquired for not being able to reply sooner. Unfortunately, changes to the board...

    Night Vision FLIR T70 & T75 specs

    Welcome, Nukes. Sorry for not responding to your PM. I've been away from these boards for several months and I've noticed that the format has changed. I can't reply to PMs sent to me before the format change as they seem to be in "archive" (read only) mode. The fusion technology that you...

    Night Vision FLIR T70 & T75 specs

    Welcome, TestnDoc. In order to gain 640x480 resolution at unity (1x), you would need 4x the number of "pixels" covering the same FOV. That's just not going to happen with the T70. The T70 has about 1/2 inch less width and height than the T60, but actually has more overall length than the...

    Night Vision FLIR T70 & T75 specs

    Welcome. The T70/75 thermal core has a 17 micron pitch, which is different. However, that means nothing in regard to what you see with your eyeballs at the viewer end. What it should mean is a much smaller housing / chassis on the entire imager, but the T70 is only very slightly smaller in...
