    Night Vision L3 Insight Cratos

    Vaporware. We saw it over in Germany at IWA (Euro Shot Show) but there are no current plans to manufacturer it according to a top product manager at Insight. Too bad- I thought it was a really nice unit with great features and one of the few thermal weapon devices that have a real weapon rated...

    Night Vision Through the Tube Pictures

    Think I have posted this before but this is a 2 micron image tube (vs. 6 micron tubes found in current 3rd gen tubes) from L3's R&D department. The resolution is high enough that it has to be calculated from the low frequency MTF values. This is one of only a few in commercial or military hands...

    Night Vision PVS-14 vs dedicated clip on devices

    Clip-ons and PVS-14 are both great devices and both have drawbacks. If you filter it all out it comes down to money. The reason a PVS-14 is by far the most popular device is because of its flexibility. It ca do double duty as a head mount or works in conjunction with a NV compatible weapon sight...

    Night Vision Prefered therma device

    Most likely from what you said the lens has been driven past its stop by force or impact. Its a minor repair, I would send it to MOD or us. Raytheon typically refers us for repairs as we own all the spares and service the units for all the W1000 customers- regardless of where they were bought...

    Night Vision Prefered therma device

    The W-1000 is a mil system and has reticles for M16(A1 and A2), M4, M203, M249, M60, M24 and a M136(AT4). The Stinger reticle has been removed. The listed reticles are all the weapons that the W-1000 was tested on and rated for.

    Night Vision Prefered therma device

    Limited parts? I see a mound of spare parts. The person you bought yours from had no way to warranty the units and that's why you paid less. He then tried to send his customers to us for warranty repair so the statement was made about our customers. You can send us your W-1000 for evaluation...

    Night Vision Back Up NV Hog Pistol

    Chip, I really don't know were to start. I'll leave the 'Tier 1' training methodology to you and your classes because I just simply use the stuff 3 or 4 nights a week, just about every week. But it seems to me that your post is attempting to counter what I wrote in my above post. I really try...

    Night Vision Back Up NV Hog Pistol

    Sorry if I wan't clear- not damage to users eyes or other peoples NVG's. The .7mW pointers in general (I really shouldn't say just Crimson Trace) are powerful enough to damage (depending on the target and distance) the shooter own NVG's from back reflection of the laser. This isn't anything...

    Night Vision Back Up NV Hog Pistol

    Skypup, A word of caution- the CT Rail Master and other .7mW IR pointers can and have done damage to I-squared devices in pistol-close range situations. We have a fix for this- PM me if you need details. On the flip side, please PM me anyways and let me know where I can get that shirt. Did...

    Night Vision "L3 MX-11620UV NOS" 25mm Gen 3 Question (pics)

    GB is right in the fact that those Gen 3 tubes went very fast a couple years ago and they are had to find right now. As for the PVS-4 parts, there are a ton of NOS and surplus parts available all over the internet- about the only thing we have trouble getting is the crosshair reticle for the...

    Night Vision problem w/pvs-14 inline w/eotech - very small fov

    Dcoil, Glad to hear you figured out the problem. Depending on how you mounted your 14 there still may be room for improvment- as Pete asked could you share a picture of your setup? Some minor adjustments can make a considerable difference in the image quality and FOV on this type of setup. Ident

    Night Vision FLIR T70 & T75 specs

    Except for the next gen cooled units- shooting at a mile at 20x with a thermal clip-on is a whole new level. These are being developed by several of the big names for DOD. The price is astronomical but so is the performance.
