    Night Vision Need some help from really smart thermal guys

    I think that BAE is the only place that is technically capable of helping you. Even people who developed their own cores using BAE's FPA do not have a way to run calibration on BAE's system.

    Night Vision N-Vision Optics Halo/Halo-LR Software Update Available

    @ScarlettRed not with the existing architecture. B&W displays allow for the best possible contrast and pixel to pixel mapping. Moving to color display is possible in the future but not in the immediate future.

    Night Vision N-Vision Optics Halo/Halo-LR Software Update Available

    @Blacksmith of Isaiah, good questions. Unfortunately, I can't answer the majority of them because of a) I don't know answers to some b) They fall outside of what is considered "public information" from the standpoint of our NDA agreements with suppliers and ITAR perspective. Sorry, I wish I...

    Night Vision N-Vision Optics Halo/Halo-LR Software Update Available

    Noted. Thinking (and more) very hard about it. I believe that for the helmet-mounted use the objective lens must be focusable.

    You are grossly mistaken if you think that I can forget about this one :)

    While Halo-LR lens cap is not perfect, you should be able to easily rotate it and place the tab where you want it to be. It's tight but it's designed to rotate. I hope this helps.

    Please check with your dealer. Some dealers already have or will have very shortly units with the updated software in stock. If not, I would suggest asking the dealer to send scope to us for the update. We'll be able to return the updated unit to the dealer or directly to you if the dealer...

    Clarification: this update will reset all user-set parameters to default values and will lead to the loss of zeroing information. Scopes will have to be re-zeroed after the update.

    Night Vision NVision vs Trijicon

    You are correct. HALO and HALO-LR housings are made from 45% glass reinforced, heat stabilized polyphthalamide (PPA). If you look at the thermal expansion coefficient of this material you will find out that it's not worse than 6061T6 Aluminum and it's strength is quite remarkable too.

    Night Vision Halo N-VIsion Optics

    Good question. We are still thinking about it but most probably there will be a way for people who want/need it to upgrade.

    Night Vision NVision Halo LR External Power Supply

    To be a little bit more precise, almost any USB (5V standard) power supply that is rated for 1A or higher output should work and with some margin because in reality we never draw more than 1A. This being said, the rating of power supplies is not always being perfectly honest and some...

    @generalzip, @ChiandChong, @Flip#1: thanks a lot for your comments. Sorry I could not respond sooner. Your message about a betters reticle is loud and clear. Understood about the desire to have an FFP reticle. If it's possible, I'd like to pick up your brains figuring out the most basic but...
