    Night Vision Shelf life of a thermal

    Seriously. The StingIR 640’s performance that I bought for under $3k would have been $10k+ like 15 years ago.

    Night Vision Sig ECHO CV25 LWIR 640x512 Thermal Clip-On

    Am I reading that right that its base magnification is 6.4x? If so, that sounds awful.

    Sent you a PM. But very interested in that comparison from an image quality standpoint.

    Night Vision New Sig Handheld thermals?

    Here’s a short video on them from NRA 2025. Video Besides this video, I see no other signs of life. Does anyone have any more information (specs, price, release date) on these? They look interesting assuming the performance and price are competitive with other options on the market.

    Night Vision Sig ECHO CV25 LWIR 640x512 Thermal Clip-On

    Anyone have one of these and an Eotech? Could you theoretically/practically use one of these in front of an Eotech (without magnifier)?

    Night Vision Sig ECHO CV25 LWIR 640x512 Thermal Clip-On

    Does anyone have one of these that can do a a mini review or something? Like some “through the lense” pictures or anything like that?

    Night Vision New Nvision scope posted accidentally?

    Oh I fully agree. But when the RH25v2 can do 85% of the job of the Voodoo-S for $12,000 less, it’s hard for any individual who doesn’t have access to Uncle Sam’s credit card to justify that purchase. If it wasn’t obvious that I was talking about the civilian market, then let me make that clear...

    Night Vision New Nvision scope posted accidentally?

    I ultimately went with the AGM StingIR 640 over the NOX18 due to the clipon capability. At least AGM was an American company, even if the StingIR was just a rebadged Jerry-YM from Iray. I fully agree with the comment made just above about NVision turning into Trijicon. Had some bangers last...

    Night Vision New Nvision scope posted accidentally?

    This thing will be obsolete before it even gets released. It’s sad. I like NVision. I’ve almost bought a NOX18 multiple times, and talked with them about buying one of their “blem” Filmless PVS-14’s that they offer from time to time(they didn’t have any in stock at the time), but their product...

    Night Vision External power with AGM StingIR

    I saw that and was tempted to buy one. I’d love to see if it stands up to recoil.

    Night Vision External power with AGM StingIR

    Do you have a link to the battery pack you bought?

    Holding out hope for basically a clip on capable NOX18 that isn’t like $10k, but I’m not holding my breath.

    Night Vision External power with AGM StingIR

    You were able to buy a StingIR at Walmart? But I reached out to AGM to see if they were aware of the parasitic drain, and if there was anything I could do about it, or if they had any recommendations for battery banks. The response I got was that I was doing the shutdown sequence wrong when...

    Night Vision External power with AGM StingIR

    I’m really tired of picking up my StingIR and either: -Finding out the batteries had parasitic drain since the last time I used the thermal and they’re dead Or -having to take out the battery after every use and put it back in every time I want to use my thermal. This seems like the dumbest...

    Night Vision How important is rail position for clip-on thermal use?

    The issue isn’t necessarily not remembering what slot the thermal goes onto, it’s being able to reliably be able to switch between handholding the thermal and weapons mounting it while in the dark. Like mentioned above, I’m currently using some Larue index clips in front of and behind my thermal...

    Night Vision Upgrading from StingIR to NOX18?

    Maybe I’ll just stick with the StingIR if offset mounting the NOX18 isn’t feasible.

    Night Vision Upgrading from StingIR to NOX18?

    I currently have the AGM StingIR 640. It’s my first and only thermal. I use it handheld about 90% of the time, and then as a clip-on 10% of the time. I have the AGM/ADM flip to side mount that allows me to go from day optic to clip-on ready in no time at all. It’s a good solution. I find that...

    Night Vision The new Pulsar TELOS LRF XP50 is pretty awesome

    I searched but couldn’t find the spec anywhere. What is the screen size for the Telos XP50? Not asking for the resolution, but the physical dimensions of the screen.

    Night Vision How important is rail position for clip-on thermal use?

    I’m mainly asking just because putting it on the rail at night while it’s dark doesn’t give me a high degree of confidence that it’s always going in the same spot each time. I’m not talking about moving it 10 rails slots up the rail or anything. Half of the draw to the StingIR (and RH25 for...
