    Night Vision The Official: Steiner C35 Thermal Clip-on Review and User Thread!

    That was my first thought, but I'm pretty sure the PAS-13G had a slower frame rate than 50hz and even the video footage easily captured subs in flight. 45 ACP looked like tennis balls, it was pretty cool to watch. My thinking is that the projectile will be visible but the hot spot tracking...

    Anyone care to hazard a guess as to whether or not the hot spot tracking function will track a bullet flying downrange? I should be able to test it out with some subsonic 22 LR and 300 Blackout this weekend. My PAS-13G was able to easily see subsonic projectiles zipping downrange, but it...

    Negative, that is why it suprised me so much. ~1.6" height HS503G on the AUG, 1.5" height SFP LPVO on M4gery, 1.125" height 20 MOA mounted FFP 3-15 on 6.5 Creedmoor AR.

    I was in the same boat until I used it weapon mounted for quite a while. Then I appreciated its placement since I can still see it up to like ~6x (IIRC). I wouldn't complain if there was an option for the battery indicator to be "adaptive" where it only shows up briefly when there is some...

    Today I got to zero the C35 on the last gun I intend to use it with for now, a 10.5" 300 Blk AR. This one wound up needing 1 click left adjustment but elevation was still +2 like the other five guns I've zeroed the C35 on. Function was flawless on this one as well. I also found a feature...

    Screaming deal! I keep telling myself that I don't need another one :cool:

    SWFA super sniper 10x

    You bring up an interesting point, one that I've been messing with for quite a while. To be very transparent, I am in what is likely the extreme minority of shooters as far as what I need/want. Due to my work hours over the last few years, a good portion of my shooting happens under night...

    SWFA super sniper 10x

    They are solid scopes and are mechanically sound. The glass is decentish, plus they parallax down to 10m which makes indoor dryfire easy. I have several that are zeroed to rifles and kept as a backup in case the primary optic takes a shit. It is tough to beat their utility to price ratio...

    Got to check zero on a couple more guns today, an AUG A3M1 and a lightweight M4gery I built around a 16" Faxon gunner "match" barrel that shoots the lights out w/ 77gr OTM. Both had the same zero coordinates despite being completely different platforms. It wound up being identical to my 6.5...

    I've heard good things about the Spartan/INOD devices, but I have never looked through them. They seem to be optimized for situations that are well beyond my usual shots. I'd still like to look through them at some point :)

    Anecdotal notes from comparison w/ an older AN/PAS-13B(V)3: I got together w/ some friends a bit ago and compared NV/thermal stuff non-scientifically w/ the help of beer and good weather :cool: So the old PAS-13BV3 has some weaknesses (holy shit size for small arms, battery, etc), but damn the...

    I've been looking around on Amazon for an appropriately-sized battery pack to use w/ these. Some of the ones w/ a built in USB-C cable look promising, but the only experience I have w/ battery packs is the one I keep in my car for jump starting (works great, but way too big). We did pick up a...

    From a pure practical usefulness standpoint, I'd have to say the C35 would be the keeper. I'm keeping both, but for the guy looking for a very versatile AND extremely cost effective option, the C35 is one holy hell of a winner so far. That said, most of my night shooting is steel targets, not...

    Anecdotal notes from looking around tonight at 25-300 yd with my PVS-27 and C35 viewing through the same day optic (PST gen 2 3-15 FFP): 1. The PVS-27 is still the king (of stuff I've looked through, at least) of identification and higher usable magnifications are possible with it. I was...

    Regarding need to focus, I've found a "happy spot" that gives excellent focus within my intended shooting envelope (50-500ish yd). I've also added a Vortex Defender E-10 cap to the ocular and O-44 to the objective lens. Beyond the obvious protection this provides to the lenses, there are...

    Also, and probably one of the biggest things so far, I love the shit out of being able to adjust screen position and having X/Y coordinates for that position. LOVE IT. Offer these with a 75mm or 100mm lens, I'll buy that too.

    Sure thing. Please consider the fact that it has now been 4+ years since I've looked through the LWTS that I owned, so take the below with a grain of salt. I loved my LWTS but felt the performance for IDing to be lacking compared to what I was expecting. It wasn't my first thermal by a long...

    That was a good deal! I saw it super early this morning but it was not clear whether it came with a mount or not so I didn't pull the trigger. Also, they say "sold as is" so I figure there is no warranty, but I could be (hopefully) wrong. In hindsight, I should've bought one anyways even if...

    It potentially can. This is why many clip-on devices have a non-rotating objective lens (whether it is focusable or not). I've even seen some advertise that their objective focus does NOT actually rotate the lens, presumably for this reason. I did not notice the POI change for my LWTS some...

    Zeroed the C35 on another couple guns today and I did need to break out the foil squares for the targets due to conditions. That said, everything went well. Today I added zeroes for a 16" lightweight 6.5 Creedmoor AR as well as a Ruger Precision Rimfire in 22 LR. For the Creedmoor AR...
