    Night Vision External power with AGM StingIR

    I’m really tired of picking up my StingIR and either: -Finding out the batteries had parasitic drain since the last time I used the thermal and they’re dead Or -having to take out the battery after every use and put it back in every time I want to use my thermal. This seems like the dumbest...

    Night Vision Upgrading from StingIR to NOX18?

    I currently have the AGM StingIR 640. It’s my first and only thermal. I use it handheld about 90% of the time, and then as a clip-on 10% of the time. I have the AGM/ADM flip to side mount that allows me to go from day optic to clip-on ready in no time at all. It’s a good solution. I find that...

    Night Vision How important is rail position for clip-on thermal use?

    I have a clip-on thermal that I take on and off my day rifle as needed. I collimated the thermal to align with my day optic’s zero and everything works as it should. How important is it to make sure the thermal is mounted on the same picatinny rail position each time I remount it? Is it...

    Night Vision Day optic reticle is out of focus when paired with thermal clip-on

    Thermal: StingIR 640 Optic: PA SLX 1X Microprism. My day time optic is perfectly clear to my eyes when ran individually, but the second I put my thermal in front of it on the rail, my reticle on my day scope is then out of focus when the thermal is perfectly clear. I tried the thermal in...

    Night Vision Is the Armasight CO-Mini the poor man’s UNS-SR?

    Looking for night vision clip on options for my suppressed 300 BLK rifle and love the idea of getting a UNS-SR, but don’t love the idea of paying $8k+ for one. While searching for alternatives, I stumbled across the Armasight CO-Mini. It has a bunch of different tube grade options, which I’d go...

    Night Vision Setting up a primarily day time rifle for thermal use

    I have a 300BLK SBR that has an Eotech EXPS3-0 on it that I love for day time use and night time use with white light. I don’t want to change my optic. I also want to get into thermal in the near future. My ideal thermal solution would be to scan either handheld or helmet mounted (helmet mounted...

    Night Vision Is the US getting the Pulsar Krypton 2?

    The Krypton 2 was announced early this year at the IWA show. It was said that it would be released Q1 of 2023 in Europe. I know that it took awhile for the Krypton 1 to be released in the US after it was released in Europe. Do any of you dealers or people on the know have an ETA when/if we’ll...

    Night Vision Better short range clip on than RH25?

    I have a compact ACOG (1.5x magnification) that I’m wanting to be able to pair with a short range thermal clip-on. I’ve seen more than one person use an RH25 in front of it with really good results. I’m very confident that I would be satisfied with the performance that the RH25 has to offer...

    Night Vision RH/MH25 vs NOX18 vs ?

    Which one has the best image quality for medium/short range (300 yards and in) use? Looking at YouTube videos, I feel like the are very evenly matched. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I feel like I want the most FOV for walking around with it helmet mounted. It appears that the NOX18 has the leg...

    Night Vision White light and DBAL-i2 fitment/mounting

    Looking to mount a white light next to my DBAL-i2 on my top rail. Ideally I’d like to buy a Surefire M340, and mount the picatinny cleat directly in front of the DBAL-i2 on the top rail, but I’m not sure if there’s enough clearance for that. I’m also interested in getting a Modbutton (with the...

    Night Vision Which tube would you pick?

    Both Elbit thin film WP F9400 XLSH tubes. This is a PVS-14. 2511 fom (31snr 81lpmm) .80 halo .39 ebi Zone 2 dark spot (.008) 2041.6 fom (31.9 snr 64lpmm) .62 halo 1.1 ebi Clean cosmetics I don’t have it in front of me, but photocathode sensitivity was ~2400 for both. The zone 2 dark spots is...

    Night Vision Photonis Echo vs OMNI 7/8

    I see that higher spec Photonis Echo is often compared to Filmless WP tubes, but I don’t often see many side by side comparisons between the Echo and OMNI 7/8 tubes. I just got my stimulus check in today and made a point to set aside $2800-3000 for as high a spec PVS-14 as I can find. I think...

    Night Vision Dovetail mount options under $200?

    There’s a plethora of great dovetail mount options in the $400-500 range. It seems like that kind of drops off a cliff though the closer you get to $200. Every once in a while you can find a used AKA2 for sale, but I feel like there has to be a readily available option in the $200 and under...

    Night Vision Pulsar Accolade 2 vs NVision Atlas

    Comparing the two units, they seem to be direct competitors. Obviously the Accolade 2 has the range finder and the Atlas does not, which is the biggest difference. I’d be the most interested in a wider FOV (I think, I’m prepared to have my mind changed) so I’d be getting the Atlas 25mm at 1.75x...

    Night Vision Best helmet mount for HMT

    I’ll either be picking up an MH25 or a NOX in 2021 and I was wondering if there is a mount setup that is better than others for HMT. I’m aware the NOX is just now starting to ship out, so perhaps there may not be a consensus on what works best there, but I will be using just the thermal only. It...

    Night Vision Talk to me about the SKEETIR-L

    I’m aware that any unit for sale at this point will be a “gray market” unit with little to no warranty, but the SKEETIR-X isn’t even close to being in my price range. With that being said, finding videos or pictures of what the SKEETIR-L looks like through the lens as like finding hen’s teeth. I...

    If I had $5k to spend on a NV setup (which I don’t yet, but that’s the end goal) and I wanted the most practical/best setup for my intended use, which option would you pick? First, my use case/environment: -Rural farm land all around me. I live in Indiana, I’m sure you can picture that in your...

    Night Vision Thermal IFF beacon?

    It seems like there’s a plethora of IR beacons/strobes on the market from a couple bucks to a couple hundred dollars. Doing a quick search for a thermal IFF beacon on the other hand only turned up a couple results and I’m not sure if any were for sale to civilians. Seeing how identifying friend...

    Night Vision PVS-24-Through the tube pictures?

    Have been researching NV clip-ons recently and am interested in the PVS-24 to pair up with my TA02 ACOG. There’s a decent amount of forum discussion about the PSV-24, especially on here, but it’s very hard to find any “through the tube” pictures. I’m mainly just looking at what to expect as far...

    Night Vision Question regarding SkeetIR/clip-on thermal

    I’m itching for an “all in one” thermal that can be helmet mounted for walking/spotting, and then thrown on a Wilcox FTS mount for clip-on duty in front of my 1.5x compact ACOG. It appears that the SkeetIR-x is the best thermal clip on for use with no/low magnification optics(correct me if I’m...
