    Night Vision Nox 18 unboxing and first thoughts

    I think it's a trade-off between size/weight/cost and functionality. Nox 35 works extremely well as a scanner and some people successfully used it helmet-mounted. The Nox 35 is a good small weapon sight but the Halo-X35 may be better for dedicated weapon mounted use due to ergonomic...

    Night Vision Nox 18 unboxing and first thoughts

    Some people manage to get a better quality video with LPMR, but the cable is more convenient for many users. No No plans to manufacture, but we'll be happy to provide connector details to anybody how wants to do it. I believe that somebody already works on something along those lines, but I...

    Night Vision Nox 18 unboxing and first thoughts

    @Jim Out, there are a few video recorders out there that do a decent job. Some people like LPMR for out of the eyepiece recording. There are a few DVRs that can be hooked to the NOX using the video cable. The NOX is the same as the Halo/Halo-LR, except for the connector type from the video...

    Night Vision Nox 18 unboxing and first thoughts

    We'll have to think about the WiFi sync but with a little bit of practice, it's quite possible to NUC the Nox with a single hand while it's head or weapon mounted.

    I bet you can NUC the Nox faster than the Skeet.

    Night Vision Nvision delivers again! New Helmet/weapon mountable therml

    The first shipments of NOXes to dealers was scheduled to go out today. Unfortunately, currently, we are totally shut down because of the snowstorm. It's still snowing pretty hard but hopefully, the snow will stop later this PM. If everything is cleared up soon enough, the shipments will go...

    Night Vision Night Ops

    Nox reticles are very similar to Halo reticles but they were slightly scaled to adjust for Nox magnification. Nox18 has mil reticles (2) that have 1 mil subtensions at 4x. Same reticles on the Nox35 have 1 mil subtensions at 2x zoom. The exact details will be published soon.

    No, it's not better.

    Night Vision NVision Nox or Rona Skeet?

    @Eliteuas sorry, I just noticed your comment. Here is my response. I had a chance to compare the Nox with pre-production optics to the China skeet. In my observations, China skeet looked very good in high contrast scenes especially in the central part of the image. I would say that their...

    Night Vision What is this?

    I think I've seen it before and played with it but I can't remember the exact details. I'm pretty sure it's a focusable IR illuminator that can be aligned with NV scope. To turn it on/off you may have to press on the switch that is on the battery compartment cover (your pictures don't show it)...

    Night Vision Night Ops

    @BamaSE there is a 1/4"-20 hole on the weapon mount side that _potentially_ can be used for helmet-mounting the Nox using the PVS-14 Jarm, etc. However, we did not plan for this. The picture that you've seen is somebody's "creative thinking". While mounted like this, the image is going to be...

    Agree. I only use it for the most precise focusing when I need it.

    Night Vision Night Ops

    @PlinkIt it's an interesting idea. The "free form" choice is somewhat difficult to implement with our GUI however you got me thinking. What appears to be the only valuable configuration that we don't have covered is 1x and 4x. 1x and 2x are available. I don't think that 1x and 8x is going to...

    Night Vision Night Ops

    They are pretty much released. We are still tweaking a few things in the software but the hardware is set. We hope to start commercial shipments by the middle of December. The Picatinny rail that I mentioned above is not a part of the standard package. It will become available a little later...

    Night Vision Night Ops

    @Ppapago it is totally possible to remove the dovetail mount (or weapon mount, or both) when it's not in use. We will offer a short (5-6 slots) piece of a Picatinny rail that can be mounted instead of the dovetail for attachment of different accessories. RMR with Picatinny mount should fit...
