    Night Vision Helmet Mounted Thermal

    Voodoo-S or SkeetIR-X. Get your checkbook. 600yds is a very tall order for any HMT though. You might see hot dots but PID will be a challenge. This is true for all HMT systems due to the necessity of a small lens and wide FOV for anything that will mount to a helmet.

    Man that flicker is pretty noticeable

    Primary Arms Optics - Discovery 2025: PLx Compact Long Range Scopes Unveiled

    Don’t forget the March 1.5-15 shuriken. I love mine.

    Night Vision Safran TAD

    In my area I haven’t had major issues with the TAD presets, but I admit I haven’t run it on an all-nighter in bad weather yet. I suspect it will work better in some regions than others.

    Wet Mounting Scope Mounts - Where It All Started

    Yes I’m aware, but most non-QD mounts also have torque specs for the pic rail. 🤡

    Night Vision Safran TAD

    I wish I knew anyone with an ECOTI to run side by side and compare.

    Impact 4k mounting option thread

    Here’s the 1.5” Badger Condition One with their low-height Impact 4000 CLIF rail: I don’t actually own an Impact 4000, but I noticed that a LOT of diving board systems are STUPID high for the newer generation of WMLRFs like the MRF Xe, Raptar Xe, and MARS. So I tried the Impact CLIF and it is...

    Wet Mounting Scope Mounts - Where It All Started

    Spuhr has long recommended against using thread locker (ie Loctite) because the additional lubricant will cause over-tightening of rings etc which could damage a scope. If people buy into this then it seems this would also apply to greasing things, and perhaps we would have to generate proper...

    Night Vision Safran TAD

    I’m not certain of that. These aren’t sitting on shelves all over the place, there is only one retailer and devices are sent to TNVC in batches. If you order one today it probably hasn’t been built yet. When they send the next batch to TNVC the devices are almost certain to have the new firmware...

    Night Vision Safran TAD

    Yes so far mine has not had the glitches since the firmware update. However I haven’t run it hard yet. But the glitches were showing up all the time previously so this is already a big improvement.

    Night Vision Safran TAD

    I agree with you mostly. It is nothing new in this industry for a manufacturer to make overly optimistic claims about new product release dates. The Holosun Iris took a year to arrive. The Eotech OGL was announced 2 years ago and you still can’t buy one (a civ one anyway). It does annoy me that...

    Night Vision Safran TAD

    I’ve gotten burned plenty of times trying to be the first kid on the block with a new toy. Maybe someday I’ll learn.

    Night Vision Skeet IR-L as a clip on

    Thermals are expensive and it’s hard for people to justify buying an 8yo unit out of warranty with no manufacturer support, even if it’s solid. I’ve had trouble selling my TigIR for half of MSRP even though it remains a very competitive unit compared to chinesium stuff that people happily drop...

    Night Vision Skeet IR-L as a clip on

    3x is probably doable but not much more. The Skeet-L just isn’t a great clip-on.

    Night Vision BAE UTC-X vs EOTech Clip IR ELR

    I would get the ClipIR MkII and never look back. It’s a lot smaller than the Mk1.5 and has the same performance, plus has a 10yr warranty, available new, and much greater recoil rating. If your budget is 12k the Mk1.5 is still great and available under that secondhand.

    Night Vision Excelitas Thermal Optics!

    Anyone have hands on with these units yet?

    Night Vision Safran TAD

    Interesting. Maybe mine had a trace of that but nothing as bad as you show in the video. Then again I virtually never use full thermal.
