    Night Vision Safran TAD

    My manual says "2m for 2 hours" in the back. Interesting that they'd nerf the specs from the social media claim. *I just went and looked at it.

    Night Vision Safran TAD

    TAD is 1 or 1.5m, as I recall.

    Night Vision Safran TAD

    For sure, but Id hate to be pumping data into the card that I can't erase. Seems like it would be a bad idea.

    Night Vision Safran TAD

    ...and yet, I have performed a T&E with almost half a dozen failure aspects in a few hours, as a filthy casual. So forgive me for wondering if $2500 is all for ATAK software. I know the eCOTI is much more environmentally sealed, but am curious about the rest.

    Night Vision Safran TAD

    Also...if you take a picture with eCOTI, can you review it, delete it, etc via the unit itself, or is it just forever on the disk and unaccessible unless you have the cable?

    Soo....if you could only have a 100% functional TAD or an eCOTI...?

    Night Vision Safran TAD

    At this point, I am torn between getting my TAD fixed, and just upcharging for the eCOTI. Does anyone have both on hand that can speak to actual performance between the two? My thoughts: If the TAD made it out the door with problems some dipshit midlevel office manager in BFE Missouri can...

    Night Vision Safran TAD

    I know I'd want it fixed. Contact TNVC, they will contact SAFRAN/O1, and they will hand out the RMA directly.

    Night Vision Safran TAD

    Looks like a fix will be in very soon, per TNVC.

    Night Vision Safran TAD

    Yeah, I know TNVC will make things right, regardless, but it just sucks to wait some more. My alternative plan if they can't sort it is just trade for credit toward an eCOTI. I really value what the thermal overlay brings to the table for my setup.

    Night Vision Safran TAD

    Was all this actually useful, or did you find it more cumbersome throughout the night than anything ?

    Night Vision Safran TAD

    Can you explain that? Intellectually, I get it, but put me behind the unit. EX: TAD I hold the power button, it comes on, I press the button sequence to go to menu, then I go to the settings for the preset and select desert or arctic or whatever, then the menu goes away, it is what it is. I...

    I don't think eCOTI allows you to do anything different, does it? I have not used one.

    Night Vision Safran TAD

    I tend to catch things most companies don't, but this is one of the more glaring examples, yes.
  15. J

    Night Vision Safran TAD

    From what I understand, all this is easily fixable and will be fixed soon. It has better sensor and imagery than the eCOTI, and is much cheaper, so the downside is that it needs to go back to the mothership. This will be an early adopter issue (that gets fixed) and get lost in the noise later.

    Night Vision Safran TAD

    Still waiting on TNVC to get me squared away. Fixes for the issues (Stuck menu, light pollution from un-centered image when offsets are used, failure to start, and auto-cal failure) are supposed to be on the way.

    Night Vision Germanium sacrificial lens for skeetir

    If and when this gets figured out and done, please let me know, I'd purchase if it is done well and allows to nuc without issues, etc.

    Rifle Scopes How do LPVOs perform in low light?

    I didn't want to do the math, but yeah...and none of that translated to an advantage that I could detect at dusk.

    Rifle Scopes How do LPVOs perform in low light?

    A lot has to do with optics coatings, as well as lens quality and how the magnification is managed (how many lenses) as well as light control within the optic. It's a complex AF answer. For example, my MK6 had a 20mm obj and my K16i had a 24mm obj. In low light, one did not stand out above the...

    Rifle Scopes How do LPVOs perform in low light?

    My NX8 does fine. I can even use it under NVDs with the Wilcox Raid Xe acting as illuminator, although it's rather dim on 8x. The thing with LPVO's, is you can dial to your lighting conditions. I find that 4-5x is best on the NX8 at night. As I recall though, ACOGs are pretty much king at this...
