    Correct, and USB power bank. Velcro, ranger band, there are some 1913 and MLoc adapters out there, plenty of options to attach it somewhere. I epoxied a small piece of rail to one and got a cheap two sided 1913 rail adapter, works for me.

    Night Vision Vortex Impact 4000 Rifle/Rail mounted Range finder???

    Tested the prototype unit last night by turning the auto shutoff off, plugging the power supply in and leaving it out overnight. Temp got down to 20F, unit still running this AM, 8 hours continuous. Returns a range in just over 1 second, I did not program any ballistics so I don't know if a...

    I should expect the remote power supply will deal with this. Lithium's are pretty good in the cold, but it does reduce the amp hours available, by as much as 30-40%, so on a high draw device, runtime may not be very good, which seems the case here.

    OK, 8 of the ND filter holders are ready to go. If you don't need a power cable, or don't want to wait a couple more weeks for those to be complete, you can order one if these now. If you are already on the list for a power cable, I'll let you know when they are all done and you can add a...

    Night Vision B.E. Meyers KIJI IR Laser

    I no longer have the Luna, I'll look and see if I kept dimensions. It's 20 minutes work on the mill, you could do it on a drill press and some file work.

    I milled out a strip of Aluminum to fit. The strip gets threaded holes for screws on the LaRue side, then through holes for the screws to the Luna. You'll need longer metric screws to the Luna, the factory ones are quite short.

    Night Vision UTC-X USB power/data cable

    Anyone happen to have the pinout for the power to a UTX-X Lemo port, or a USB cable they can check out? Trying to add it to the list of splitter options for the Vortex 4000 LRF power supply cable. 7 pin Lemo, normally 1 and 2 are positive/negative, but I have no documentation or cable to...

    OK, functional prototype is done for the power supply. Production is now just waiting on some wire and connectors. Based on the current draw, a 5K mAh USB pack should run this for 10+ hours. Those of you running a thermal sight that has external power can order a customized splitter cable to...

    Adds about 5mm, or .2 inches

    Might extend the two sides of the outer rim to match to the bottom corners.

    Night Vision Vortex Impact 4000 Rifle/Rail mounted Range finder???

    Unless anyone has another suggestion, this should be pretty much the final form. I'll add a hole on the lower right for a lanyard to tie off the the cap lanyard, but otherwise, I think it's good to go. This is two layers of ND9. I'll provide 3 layers of ND9 and 1 of ND6, that should let you...

    I should probably point out that the magnetic attachment is likely to make the compass unusable, though at night I'm not sure it matters. Since all the hardware is magnetic and it's attached to a big steel rod, I question how well it works in the first place.

    This will give you a rough idea of what I'm building. It's on the printer now to resolve some minor sizing issues and the actual best print orientation, once that's done I'll round off the edges and mount some film. Right now, I expect these to cost no more than $25. The power supply cable...

    Night Vision Vortex Impact 4000 Rifle/Rail mounted Range finder???

    Prototype came off the printer looking pretty good, some minor adjustments and I'll print a usable version tomorrow. Magnets hold on the four corner screws, a frame with four screws hold the filter material. That will let you select what density of filter you want and make it replaceable in...

    Night Vision Vortex Impact 4000 Rifle/Rail mounted Range finder???

    Seems like the most direct solution. What density film are you running? I use an ND6 on the SxS display with NV, that's too dark to see by eye alone. ND3?

    I was thinking a simple O ring to make contact would seal it fine, otherwise some adhesive backed foam.

    Night Vision Vortex Impact 4000 Rifle/Rail mounted Range finder???

    With no real spots to hook a filter over the display, how does everyone feel about a filter holder that would use four rare earth magnets on the rear screws? With a lanyard to prevent loss if it gets knocked off, this would leave you access to the backlight button, be easy on/off and should do...

    What is the best pvs14 helmet mount?

    The hot ticket for a single PVS-14 is the Norotos INVG Hyper mount. The dual dovetail adapter allows you to switch eyes easily and the mount twists to allow very close storage.
