    Night Vision Thermal Options - Helmet, Clip-on, Scanner...?

    We printed up a couple of batches of focusing tools for the breach (with metal teeth !) and they work - BUTT - the disappointing part is that the adjustment range is minute, I'd say you can focus it out to maybe 50yds (from the default 25yds) but after that, while you are still moving the lens...

    Night Vision Thermal Options - Helmet, Clip-on, Scanner...?

    The only "new" armasight I've looked thru is the contractor 640 4.8 ... and it was definitely in the BAE core ball park. I had a nox18 with me that night, but I've been a bae core bigot for 8 years, so I think those image attributes are etched in to my brain.

    Night Vision Thermal Options - Helmet, Clip-on, Scanner...?

    Yes, think of it this way. The 3x 640 Contractor is the same physical unit as the 6x 320 unit, except the 320 unit has a smaller FPA on the front. But to get the 640 unit up to 6x, you need to use 2x digital. I think the optical magnification on the front with the smaller core gets the...

    I haven't had exactly this model, but I've had a Contractor 75mm 4.8x TWS and it was GREAT ! Here's a version that fits in to the low end of your range: https://armasight.com/contractor-320-3-12x25-thermal-weapon-sight/ And here's one towards the higher end of your range...

    Night Vision Thermal Options - Helmet, Clip-on, Scanner...?

    Do it hundreds of times and u wont even think about it It will just happen, like when u drive a vehicle. Even one handed with the right mount. Hum, we've all been speakin' about that on here a lot over the years, not sure how u missed it !? Here's a summary. The military thermal...

    Night Vision Thermal Options - Helmet, Clip-on, Scanner...?

    What we dont know is OPs terrain ? The main clue is "Hog" which sounds like the lower tier of states. Another clue is laser. I've gotten about 1/3rd of criiters with laser, in close terrain (woods), far less in open. In thickish woods, breach, 14 and coti (all on head) and laser provide full...

    Night Vision Thermal Options - Helmet, Clip-on, Scanner...?

    I've been using 14 + thermal on head since ir-patrol and armasight q-14 first came out in 2015. But the only purpose designed helmet mounted thermal that works as a real clipon (no adjustments needed) is rhe voodooS. Given you're looking at chinese stuff, u may not be in the market for serious...

    Night Vision New Armasight Units (Sidekick and Jockey 640s)

    Note that in all my efforts to mount a breach as a clipon, the mounting solutions that worked for clipon purpose, were not the same as the mounting solutions that worked for head mounting, so going back and forth quickly may be problematic, even if both can be done for the sidekick. The breach...

    And to add to that, if there were any "real experts" here (or anywhere else) ... they never stop learning ... they are always "unwashed" ... they "learn by doing" not by pounding on their chests ... they let themselves be judged solely by others. Now "whowhatwherehownowbrowncow" is truly...

    Why not just attach a dove tail to the mini-rail. That's what most people do AFAIK. https://www.modarmory.com/product/mod-armory-d14-dovetail-adapter-for-integrated-components-night-vision-helmet-mount-d-14-dual-pvs-14-mounting-system/

    Negatif, all the units we received today had been sold (paid for) before we received them, so we shipped them straight out. We wouldn't open your unit and we wouldn't delay you receiving your unit - if you had paid for it. We would ship it immediately! We treat every body like that ! We...
