    Night Vision Brand new NOX 18 thermal with issue. Will not power-up.

    I suggest not overdoing the testing because, at least in theory, this may cause more damage. It's not the best idea to yank the power cord out of the computer when it is starting up. You got it right, both Nox and Halo-LR are most sensitive to the power failure during the startup process...

    Night Vision Brand new NOX 18 thermal with issue. Will not power-up.

    I suggest calling N-Vision at 781-505-8360 and asking for support/Chris. He should be able to help.

    Night Vision Halo-XRF: Issues->Resolutions

    In low temperatures, it may be beneficial to keep the scope running all the time. This way, the batteries warm up internally and don't lose too much charge because of the low temperatures.

    Night Vision Moving on from the XRF with a ???

    The tested scope had problems with the LRF before the software update.

    Night Vision Moving on from the XRF with a ???

    Incorrect. I provided a detailed answer to your question at the very beginning of another thread a long time ago. The answer did not change over time. Incorrect. The problems with some LRFs were caused by the combination of software and normal variations in hardware performance. Not a...

    Night Vision Moving on from the XRF with a ???

    @McNamara0851: Sorry, we were very shorthanded last week in the office because of the Shot Show. I'm sure somebody will get back to you on Monday if it has not been done already.

    Night Vision Halo XRF Issues. Best replacement for long range?

    Thank you for your kind words. However, this is not Customer Service, and I'm not a Customer Support representative. I learned a lot on this forum and owe a lot to a few people here. I want to contribute back to the forum if I can. However, please don't see this forum as a Customer Support...

    Night Vision Halo XRF Issues. Best replacement for long range?

    Thanks. I appreciate the info. It's most valuable. We'll have to get your scope back and take a good look at it. Forum discussions are nice, but nothing beats time in the lab after reaching a good understanding of the failure conditions. Please get in touch with our customer support and...

    Night Vision Halo XRF Issues. Best replacement for long range?

    Based on the description that you provided, it appears that your scope's LRF problem is very unusual due to its daytime misbehavior. You were given an honest answer about the work that has been done on your scope. The LRF firmware was updated to the latest as the moment of repair (I'm sure you...

    Night Vision Halo XRF Issues. Best replacement for long range?

    What kind of feedback do you want from N-Vision? I have already given you the best explanation that we have and I don't have another one. Your assumption that we are trying to fix a component problem with the software does not correspond to reality. There is a chance that your XRF has a...

    Night Vision Halo XRF Issues. Best replacement for long range?

    I can see both the pro and con arguments but it appears that the majority of people voicing their opinion support your point of view. It is entirely possible that people who are happy with the current arrangement are not calling us and not looking at this thread. We'll give it till Monday for...

    Night Vision Halo XRF Issues. Best replacement for long range?

    It is possible to offer a choice of reticle color vs. image polarity. Still, implementing this functionality will take slightly longer because it will require a change of the user interface and underlying logic to accommodate. However, it appears that your original idea of the reticle color...

    Night Vision Halo XRF Issues. Best replacement for long range?

    First of all, thank you all for your good comments. Let me address a couple of points: 1. Image quality of the HALO-LR vs. HALO-X50 vs. HALO-XRF. The current production units have the same optics and sensors. The perceived variance in optical quality between units could be due to production...

    Night Vision N-vision Halo LR Bobro Mount

    @BamaSE, sorry for the delayed response. In short, the appearance of the horizontal line, as you pointed out, is due to increased recoil from the lighter weapon. While it's annoying, this should not lead to the further deterioration of your Halo. This is one of the things that are outside of...

    Night Vision Super Yoter C - Any Experience Yet?

    Thank you! Actually, to my eyes, the image on the right (wider FOV) looks better than the one on the left if I zoom it in.

    Night Vision Rambling what would you do thread

    Thermals (all thermals) are looking at the thermal contrast. During the day, when it's cold outside (cold air from the North), leaves, branches, etc., are warming up more under the sun than the surrounding air. This results in better images. When it's really warm and humid (warm front is...

    Night Vision Used halo lr50

    The only thing that really matters from the performance standpoint is any possible damage to the objective lens. You may want to confirm that the coating is good and not scratched too much. Everything else is pretty much cosmetics.

    Night Vision Halo-XRF & Halo X *Expected Soon*

    The LRF draws a bit of power. Just keeping it on (not measuring) adds, if I remember correctly, about 8% to power consumption. The actual measurements are not too bad. In scanning mode, we make one measurement, approximately every 0.8 seconds. However, during this time, the laser is only...

    Night Vision Halo-XRF & Halo X *Expected Soon*

    @SkyScrapin Thanks! Appreciate your idea. This is something that we will definitely keep in mind for the future. No promises though. I'm glad you like the scanning mode for the LRF.
