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

    @gunrgood Sorry, as of now, the Halo-XRF/LRF can't transmit the data. In theory, everything is possible, but this functionality is not in the current configuration. If we were to dream, there is no reason to transmit the data somewhere to find the ballistic solution. It should be done on...

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

    @SkyScrapin the delay is related to the software on the receiving end. I know that the VLC can have up to two seconds of streaming delay. We had to build a test software for PC to verify that the delay is not on the Halo-X side. Reticle adaptive color: are you sure that it was turned on on...

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

    @Cypress87 Technically, it is possible, but we will have to take a good look at the associated costs and figure out if it is feasible or not. We have not done this exercise yet, but we should do it soon.

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

    @Cypress87 I think you are referring not to the color of the objective lens but the color of the image as seen through the eyepiece. The color/tint of the image is pretty random. For B&W displays, the tint is a function of the display, and it can't be changed. The difference in the tint of...

    Night Vision NOX-18 Review

    Something like that may work. Nox is going to move down 1/4" or so while installed on a helmet mount. This may present a problem if dual-mounted because it's not going to be leveled with PVS-14 or another Nox. However, if the Nox is used by itself, this can be a valuable solution for users...

    This may work. Something to think about :-)

    Night Vision NOX-18 Review

    Maybe I misunderstood. However, the dovetail, in general, is not a good weapon mounting solution. It is OK for SkeetIR (clip-on does not require perfect alignment or repeatability), but I don't think that it's going to work for a weapon sight. Return to zero may be / will be a major problem.

    Night Vision NOX-18 Review

    It's an interesting idea but, unfortunately, it's not going to work. The "dovetail" side of the Nox is not strong enough to be used for weapon mounting. It is one of the compromises that we had to make very early in the design phase, trading size and weight for the ability to have a weapon...

    Night Vision NOX-18 Review

    Using a different mount is not going to change things. In this case, the distance between eyes is a defining factor. In other words, for comfortable viewing, the distance between optical axis of the NOX and PVS-14 has to be fixed and equal to the distance between centers of your eye pupils. I...

    Night Vision SOK's TigIR Z6+ Initial Review + Video

    Great review! Looking at the pictures, it appears that the Boost is not so much an increase of gain but rather an application of additional contrast enhancement + sharpening algorithms. I have to say that they do a very nice job with it. I may be wrong but it's the way it looks.

    Night Vision Nox 18 vs 35... Max? Anyone else?

    Making a 3X magnifier lens for 18mm Nox is not out of the question. There is a good chance that somebody sooner or later will make those magnifiers. However, zero retention throughout the focusing range will be a major problem. The Nox will probably have to be zeroed with a magnifier at the...

    Night Vision Nox 18 vs 35... Max? Anyone else?

    Sorry to hear about your problem. If it's not a trivial problem such as a dead battery, which I'm pretty sure you checked by now, can you shoot an email to [email protected] with your phone number? Somebody (probably Chris) will get back to you ASAP and will walk you through possible...

    "Maybe this is what the lube was for?" Please use this "lube" wisely. It's a version of Loctite. Assume your own risk while using for ..., ..., ..., etc.

    Night Vision Lifespan of Thermal Optics?

    Ambient temperature, a.k.a. normal temperature, if I remember correctly, is defined as 70F (21C). Theoretically, the comment about not putting the scope in the vacuum is correct from the sensor's package point of view but not from the system level (sensor + electronics) perspective. Outgassing...

    Night Vision Lifespan of Thermal Optics?

    "If you want to increase the detectors longevity or life, then store it in your refrigerator when not in use. That will significantly increase your vacuum life by reducing the outgassing rate, which doubles for every 10C above ambient. When it loses vacuum, the unit is useless." This statement...
