Well I hate to be the guy to revive this thread but... So I pull my M300W Patrol from the safe last night and go to install battery. Hear noise, see crack, and brass insert comes out. So I’m now in the “cracked battery housing” boat. Except, I think my boat is sunk. My unit is IR Defense...

Since we're talking TW here can I ask what is probably a dumb question. I have a TW...got it before they turned traitor. Anywho, I need to order a Surface ANVIS Mount (SAM). What is the correct "helmet style"? Is it ACH/MICH or AFSOC (Ops Core/Crye) or Ops Core FAST / Crye Airframe? I feel...

Ha yeah airborne. And yes your absolutely correct there is a certification requirement under Part 135 and Part 121 as well. But I know of no operators doing under Part 121. For me its all Part 91. Plus there are 2 crew members. One pilot flying and one pilot monitoring. PF is never under...

For me, since I am using them on a flight helmet, the ball detent is a requirement. The option to switch it out to dovetail (or even leave ball detent) and use on my ground helmet would simply be a bonus. Seems either another ANVIS 9 or Sentinel is the only option for that? Put another way, I...

So the ANVIS objective is different. Coating differences too. What about the ocular? Is that different on ANVIS as well? Regards, G. Optometrist

I don't want to hijack OP's thread but quick ANVIS 9 question also... Currently use ANVIS 9's. Have not however used something like Sentinel or RNVG? I always hear how some guys love ANVIS glass and I've never really known the difference. What do they mean by ANVIS glass as opposed to...

Wow. Impressive piece of hardware. 20K? Regards, G. Pauper

Yes Sir, you are entirely correct. I have most certainly been using the wrong terms. What's more, I just looked closer at the TNVC web site and saw the photos of the "Torch Pro" (I think I got it right that time), where it clearly shows and says "compatible with surefire XM tail caps". The...

Vic, Yes that is exactly what I am looking for. I just wasn't sure if that one would work. Does that tail cap with pressure switch just screw into the body of the Da Torch Pro? Or are you using that tail cap pressure switch on another surefire light and you just put the Torch Pro head on...

Hey guys, What is the best / most efficient way to add a pressure switch to Da Torch Pro? I glanced at the Surefire website, but didn't see anything that jumped out at me. I know Da Torch head will fit on some of the Surefire lights (I sometimes use it on my old 6P), but I want to add a...

SkyPup, I swear you are like a FLIR demigod. You certainly give a guy something to aspire to in terms of FLIR acquisitions. Its funny...to hear you say you use your 5000 dollar LS-64, or your 6500 dollar RS64-35mm, instead of your 10,000 dollar M18 to save batteries. All while using a PAIR...

Yea nice scope indeed. I would love to hear from guys with either of these 60mm versions on the focusable objectives. How do they like it? Easy or hard to turn? How much turn for how much focus at what distance? Do you find yourself changing the focus much? Does it really sharpen up the...

SkyPup, Since the number of batteries is not the same, I know its not an exact measurement / comparison in time. But would you guess your T70 and T75 to consume power at a similar rate? Regards, G.

I asked this exact question when I placed the order. I was told, (and the paperwork upon receipt confirmed) April 2014. I was mainly asking as it related to the reported very stiff objective focus which was supposed to be fixed. Mine is fine I guess. Its a little stiff, but not blister...

Yea I concur with everything you said. However, just to clarify, are you saying the M18 draws power even when turned off? Or are you saying it draws quite of bit of current during the shut down cycle? I would be curious to know why in the world it would draw any power when totally off?? That...

Hey guys, I'm starting to get a little freaked out here. Granted, I just got my new FLIR M18, so I am doing probably a lot of looking and testing and changing colors and stuff, but this thing is eating batteries like no tomorrow Any tips on maybe something I am doing wrong? I have had it out...

Okay thanks. I will have to say, one knob does have some appeal to me. I really like to adhere to the K I S S method whenever possible. Regards, G.

Well don't feel bad, cause maybe its me that's not understanding the answers given. So let me clarify the question. First, diopter. Is there a way to diopter focus the screen itself...ie the view of the menus on the screen and things like that. Secondly, I was asking about how (if at all)...

Thanks guys. That makes more sense now. As I looked at the T70 I felt sure the diopter worked/turned in the traditional manner. But I could not figure out about the objective as it looked like it didn't move. Makes sense that it would have a separate knob/focus adjustment mechanism. Thanks...

I have zero experience with clip on type devices, so this may be a plain ole dumb question but... What manual focus capabilities does the T70 and T75 have? Specifically, do either of these models have manual focusable objective (i.e. the big honking germanium lens)? And secondly, do either...
