    Night Vision Real Deal Wilcox/KVC/RQE/etc vs Chicom Knock-Offs - Buy American???

    I hope that expanding your questions a bit will better reflect my take on them. "Fair enough, but how long am I supposed to wait before buying stolen goods?" And "What other options do I have before buying stolen goods?" However, I don't know your circumstances, and I don't know what's...

    Night Vision Real Deal Wilcox/KVC/RQE/etc vs Chicom Knock-Offs - Buy American???

    I would say that using words like "clones" or "knock-offs" is bending the truth. Chinese are flat-out stealing patent-protected (for example, for Wilcox G24 see US10004289B2) designs and intellectual property that US (and European) companies developed over the years of market knowledge, R&D...

    Night Vision NOX35 flip dovetail to QD side of optic?

    Hello @bmicek, yes, placing the dovetail in place of the ADM mount is possible. This configuration is a part of the design. See Nox User Manual page 13 (Configuring NOX for Left Eye Use).

    Night Vision Nox 18 on a 12 gauge semi-auto

    It has been done before and it should work if it works for your hunting style.

    Night Vision Clip-on decision: Voodoo S or M, or something else?

    There could be other options sometime in the foreseeable future.

    Night Vision Clip-on decision: Voodoo S or M, or something else?

    Thinking about it. However, not all of your wishes will be granted, but it's too early to disclose which one we are going to ignore :)

    Great. Thanks!

    Night Vision Nox 18 help

    Surefire 18650 may work, but we have not tested it. I don't anticipate any problems if they fit in the Nox's battery compartment. It may be tight because of the increased battery size due to USB charging. Let us know if you have had a chance to try it.

    Night Vision InfiRay Rico PRO 640 - Variable Objective Thermal Optic (25mm/50mm)

    There must be a typo on their specs, or something was lost in translation. Doubling the objective focal length should lead to doubling (not tripling) the magnification. The math here is elementary.

    Night Vision UTM pixel pitch

    Aligning reticles allows the use of digital zoom on clip-on. Zoom is performed in a way that does not change the position of the reticle (the center of the reticle stays put, and the rest of the pixels move around due to scaling). I hope this makes sense.

    Night Vision I need the Halo_LR, right?

    First Halo-LRs are almost four years old. You don't have to wait long to find out :-)

    Night Vision Nox 18 help

    18650 batteries are not all the same. Variations in performance may be huge. The KeepPower 3500 (not 3600!) that the Nox is shipping with is the best we could find after evaluating a _lot _ of different 18650 batteries. There may be something better, but I have not seen or heard about it.

    Night Vision Iray Rico 1280

    It's hard to comment without seeing the actual unit and how it performs under various conditions. In any case, a 1280 scope with a 75mm objective at an $18k retail price is a very significant achievement that I believe will have long-lasting consequences on the industry. Re: NETD < 25 mK. In...

    Night Vision Brand new NOX 18 thermal with issue. Will not power-up.

    Unfortunately, not. The problem happens on the core and our firmware can't do anything about it.

    Night Vision Brand new NOX 18 thermal with issue. Will not power-up.

    I suggest not overdoing the testing because, at least in theory, this may cause more damage. It's not the best idea to yank the power cord out of the computer when it is starting up. You got it right, both Nox and Halo-LR are most sensitive to the power failure during the startup process...

    Night Vision Brand new NOX 18 thermal with issue. Will not power-up.

    I suggest calling N-Vision at 781-505-8360 and asking for support/Chris. He should be able to help.

    Night Vision Halo-XRF: Issues->Resolutions

    In low temperatures, it may be beneficial to keep the scope running all the time. This way, the batteries warm up internally and don't lose too much charge because of the low temperatures.

    Night Vision Moving on from the XRF with a ???

    The tested scope had problems with the LRF before the software update.
