Looks like they are dropping a clip on device September 4th, does anyone have an info on it? I can't seem to find anything on it.
Night Vision Nocpix clip on
- Thread starter CStroud
- Start date
Not that I have seen here.
I was just on IRAY USA website and every product from NOCPIX is out of stock, some products announced in the beginning of the year never materialized I guess due to import restrictions etc. So curious as to how they are going to make this happen.

It was a rather cryptic video on FB that I saw. I checked with one dealer and they acknowledged it was a clip on, but said they have not been emailed the specs yet.

Yeh it definitely does. One person claiming to know something says it’s a continuation of the Iray hybrid line, but it sure looks like the MAH to me as well.
Base mag of 3.5 then demagnified to 1x maybe? I don't see the point of putting it in front of a day optic if it's zoomed in 3.5x
FWIW guide already has a 1280 res clip on. My TB630LRF comes in this week for the price i got it for, not sure there would be a much better option in my budget currently. I just need someone to give me performance reminiscent of the Vodoo M for not 16-20k. Granted my experience with clip ons is very limited. I currently have a hydra and the guide as i said on the way. Nvision needs to release something about the damn halo-c
One can certainly hope. If the new hybrid compact is indeed that (a hybrid) i'll be a little disappointed. I really want them to focus on clip ons. There is no shortage on the market of good dedicated thermal optics. Like seriously what once was a 10k product for a quality 640 unit can relatively be had for 3500 now. The same is not remotely true of clip ons. Anything that is of real conceivable use with magnification is north of 10k easy. Everything else seems like it's pushing it beyond 4x.
I'm super close to buying a TB630 lrf as well. I'm gonna wait a little bit though to see what this new clip on is like. 4MRRanch has a video on the TB630 but there's nothing else out there on it really in terms of reviews. Long Range Precision Shooters has a video on the Guide TB1250 and it does look quite good. He said he's working on a TB630 LRF video as well
I talked to Derek specifically about the TB630LRF cause in that 1250 review he mentions he loves that unit and it's good to 500yds, i'm assuming on steel. He sent me some videos of coyotes shot at 100 and 200 with a mk5 2-10. It looks good even through the scopecam. I'm mainly just looking for 300 and in. He said that's extremely doable. Based on what all i've seen and read trying to get really good PID and use out of thermal clip ons that aren't the mil stuff past say 400yds seems to be really pushing it.
I saw 4MRs video as well i wish he had gone into some more detail with that unit. There was no QD Pic mount at the time either. He did show hitting like a 5" plate at 300yds on a bolt gun.
So derek is going to do a video on the tb630lrf?
Yeah he said down in the comments below the video that he is working on one for the TB630. I'm looking at something for mostly 300 yards and in to put in front of a 1-10x and 3-18x. I'd absolutely love to have something like the Eotech ClipIR ELR or Trijicon UTC XII that can reach out further but I'm not sure I want to spend 15K+
I'm in the same boat. I bought a TA 651 and like it, but it starts to degrade a lot much over 4x magnification. I may skip out on this Nocpix and wait on the N-vision if it is decently priced.
I was eyeballing that too when it was announced at SHOT show. It sounds like it might be able to hang with the big dogs for a fraction of the price.
I've got the money set aside for the Guide TB630LRF already but with Nocpix and NVision I'll just hold off and see for a little bit before pulling the trigger. But I probably won't wait too long since Night Hunting season starts in December and I'd like to have something in hand by the end of November.

Just my opinion but you'll probably want more than a 35mm unit in front of your 3-18. I've used a few 50mm units in front of my 3-18 and it's good but still wish it had more demagnification
I don't hate the ability for it to be a dedicated scope because that's pretty easy to do (the Voodoo M does that too). What is interesting on that iRay unit is the onboard LRF with disturbed reticle (ballistics built in) and will be interesting to see how well they get it collimated from the factory (not holding my breath). The NVision almost certainly will be factory collimated which means you can expect to hit where you normally would regardless of what gun it's on.
I'd take those internet videos with a grain of salt if they say no collimation needed. I'd bet they are either shooting generous targets or have a system that happens to play nice together. Now if someone can put a clip on in front of 3 different optics on 3 different guns and hit ~1.5MOA steel I'd say that is a property collimated optic
EDIT: All that to say, the 630 or 650 are probably not bad optics at all, especially if you take the time to properly collimate them. The collimation is just an extra step but it saves you quite a bit of money. To be sure, the image will never be as good as a Voodoo unit of similar specs simply due to the quality of materials involved but that doesn't mean it can't be close or a great value for what you get
