    Night Vision Need opinions on lasers

    Same thing happened to me. In a treestand when the absolute bottom fell out. I stayed until it stopped raining hard enough to keep me from seeing 20 yards. It hiccupped for a week or three and then gave up. CT sent me another one. I also have a UNI-IR mounted at 12. I made a kydex cap for...

    Nice. Hope the little feller grows up big and strong. Got an idea of distance when you zoomed in?

    Night Vision Helmet/Mount setup with PVS-14 and Clip on NVD

    Second on the night cap. I've got a Team Wendy and a Night Cap (also a broke ass Ops Core- Don't waste your money) and I typically grab the night cap. Since you're using a clip on and a head mounted 14, have you tried using the 14 over your left eye? When I'm just using IR laser, I have the...

    Night Vision Through the Tube Pictures

    http://i1131.photobucket.com/albums/m548/ncorry/IRLightBar.jpg Pic through a PVS 14 testing out a prototype 10" 950nm IR light bar. I've got the gain as low as it would go. Tree is about 15 yards. Way too bright for anything less than 100 yards. Trying to convince them to move to a 2 or...

    Night Vision Shot through a small tree to take a 220 pound boar with the 6.8

    I noticed that the hog kind of had a halo or aura around him. Is that a normal occurrence with your thermal?

    Night Vision OpsCore FastBase, Customer Service

    In October 2012, my first OpsCore Fast Base helmet broke while using a single PVS14 with a standard legacy USGI Rhino mount. I contacted Ops Core and they had me send it in to take a look at it, and about a month and half after first contacting them, they sent me a replacement. Here are...

    Night Vision Team Wendy Exfil comfortable?

    Rotorunner, as I recently learned, the TW helmet is VASTLY superior to the OpsCore in several ways. I've had 2 of the Fast Base OpsCore helmets. Both of the plastic molded shrouds broke at the same place. The TW shroud is also molded in, but has a metal Wilcox insert that is not only...

    Night Vision Best NV combo...opinions plz!

    What distance do you see yourself engaging dogs? For me, IR lasers, even with a 3x USGI lens, ain't going to get it done at over 200 yards.

    Night Vision Weapon mounted vs Helmet mounted IR illuminator

    Both is the winner. On helmet, I went with a StreamLight Sidewinder Compact- can't say enough good things about it- about $60. On the other side of hte helmet for longer distances, I mounted an old ATN 450 that is adjustable for spot/flood and power/ output. About $100 on eBay. Yes, it is...

    Night Vision iPhone 4/5 PVS-14 adapter

    I got one of the iPhone adapters from Delta, and it is a solid SOB. The iPhone and the PVS14 will break long before this thing. Other than the nut that snugs onto the threads in the eye cup, it's one piece of milled AL. Don't know who you had do these for you, but they've got some machining...

    Night Vision A great example of a smart Alpha Sow! Viewed with thermal.

    Working on it, working on it. Old habits are hard to break (for my hunting partner).

    Night Vision A great example of a smart Alpha Sow! Viewed with thermal.

    TEXASLAWMAN, I just wanted to pass a thank you along for the video and let you know that it taught a buddy of mine some things. I forwarded the video link from youtube to my NV hunting partner. He watched it and Monday night went out solo and got lucky. Once he found the sounder, he took his...

    Night Vision Wow .. IR 30mm Filter . I did not know

    The 850 nm 30mm filter is sandwiched between two aluminum rings when you take it out of hte package. You can unscrew the rings and will have the filter material left. I can't remember if I removed the TLR's lens and replaced it with the filter or if I put the filter behind the lens, but I do...

    Night Vision Wow .. IR 30mm Filter . I did not know

    Those 720nm filters never come off mine. They also dim 5mw red lasers and non-NV EOTech and Aimpoints enough that they won't hurt your tube. A 5mw red laser has no bloom at 10 yards and is good out to 100 with no extra IR. I also put a 850nm filter in front of my IR illuminators to kill the...

    Night Vision ATN Thermals??

    Thanks for the props. Best advice so far on this thread- I will add that whatever you do-try it before you buy it. There are several companies that rent thermal scopes now.

    Night Vision ATN Thermals??

    If you're tied to the magnification up to 12x, go with the 640 unit. I have the 2x 336 unit and it's almost perfect for my uses. Would be perfect if it was 3x. When you use the digital zoom, you are cutting the resolution in half each 2x you magnify. Take a look at your HD TV through a 3x...
