    Night Vision Safran TAD

    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.

    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...

    Night Vision Safran TAD

    Yes. Also, I clipped and unclipped it. It did not turn on. I uncapped and recapped the battery, and this fixed it. I then removed it from the mount, on, and it moved about 1/2 a cm before cutting off. Very tolerant of not being fully seated.

    Night Vision Safran TAD

    I've noted another quirk with mine, as well. Sometimes it won't turn on unless I remove/replace the battery cap. I have asked Optics 1 about this and will update with their response.

    Optics I've used, evals I'm aware of, friends in the industry, friends who have uses them.

    What is the ideal SHTF optic?

    My Nx8 is quite usable as such.

    Mounts - Gray Ops vs Area 419

    I like it. Make something light and functional like the Reptilia or Badher C1 stuff for AR and I'd be interested. Not that I think you need to, just clarifying where my interest is.

    What is the ideal SHTF optic?

    I can point to countless examples. Surefire warcomp...a comp on a mil gun? Wonder where/why that came about? Vortex and Kahles LPVO's on team guns...wonder how that came about? Many more, but those are just the two most glaring I can think of before bed. Yeah. I grew up near Princeton,LA. I...

    Not as delusional as the guy claiming he used the #1 3 gun scope on deployment...

    What is the ideal SHTF optic?

    Hmmm...warfighters imitate gamers, kit wise, has been my observation. Where do you think FF rails, LPVOs, and comps came from?

    What is the ideal SHTF optic?

    Less of a justification, more of an explanation. Neither my girlfriend nor my accountant are on this forum.

    What is the ideal SHTF optic?

    I have a 11.40kw of inverted power from my solar array and an EV with a 77.4kw battery that allows me to pull 1500w off of it. I can also pull direct-drive off of the inverters at the array.
