    What red dot are you running on your shotgun?

    Acro S2’s been great on the 725

    New RF bino from Vectronix!!! Vector X

    Being a binocular system, wouldn't the non-reticle eye help you see "through" the other one pretty well?

    Night Vision IRay RH25 Micro video/picture thread

    Can confirm FPGA: 0117 on the PFalcon is fantastico. Appears to be a legitimate upgrade from the first round of them a few years ago.

    New Boomslang 50 degree lens- testing

    I had someone blow up my DMs and swear I was an undercover spy for you over on the other forum. Still waiting on that first check 😂

    New Boomslang 50 degree lens- testing

    Looking forward to seeing these in person some time. Thought this might be a helpful visualization for the images you took -

    Night Vision New Armasight Units (Sidekick and Jockey 640s)

    With the limited quality from the onboard recordings (512px@21fps) I tried upscaling to 60fps and 720p... it definitely looks smoother, so maybe something to try for folks that are wanting to use the recording feature on a regular basis. I do wish the focus range would let you get a sharp image...

    Night Vision New Armasight Units (Sidekick and Jockey 640s)

    Well wouldja look at that. I just tested it and averaged over 10 display frames and got exactly 50fps now, instead of 43fps like I was showing with the NUC set to Auto. As a reminder, simultaneously pressing up and down buttons NUCs the unit, so maybe a decent workaround to get a little closer...

    Night Vision New Armasight Units (Sidekick and Jockey 640s)

    Just got back from shooting some 5 stand under NODs and unboxed the Sidekick. Not seeing a huge change in lag or frame rate - the comparisons to a SKEET seem a little off-base for my particular unit, at least in the area of display responsiveness. Will have to find some more live targets this...

    Night Vision New Armasight Units (Sidekick and Jockey 640s)

    lol I’ve held my tongue while waiting for the fixes… when I buy a “60fps” thermal and it’s clearly only showing me 38fps at the eyepiece when checked with high speed video… I get grumpy faced 😬 But the guys at Armasight have been pretty receptive to the long list of feedback items I sent over...

    Repaired unit being delivered back home to me tomorrow - looking forward to sharing my thoughts.

    Serial number can be displayed in the menu when you have the unit turned on, along with the current firmware you have loaded.

    Night Vision New Armasight Units (Sidekick and Jockey 640s)

    That mirrors my experience. Make sure to check your spam folder, as all their comms keep getting stuck there for me. I received the RMA to perform 2-point calibration and firmware upgrade and the shipping label is good for a month in case I wanted to hold onto the unit a little longer before the...

    Night Vision New Armasight Units (Sidekick and Jockey 640s)

    There isn’t a user-upgradable firmware package available yet. I don’t have much else to share from my emails with customer service yet, still waiting on their guidance on a few items.

    Maybe just shy of an inch, like 15/16?

    Here’s another few at the wide end of the chart - I just got the AGM StingIr from a buddy and it’s a bit narrower, but also supports clipon use. Looking forward to taking a closer look.

    Looks officially out, the Vortex Impact 4000 WMLRF

    Got any buddies with NV clipons so you could confirm the beam at distance? Or a place you could try the vis collimating laser process at a few hundred yards at dusk? I’m always a little skeptical of the offset targets without confirming at extended range
