Night Vision Shuttered eye pieces?..

[PlinkIt]

Are any of these shuttered eye pieces really functional? I see several of them out there but never really see them discussed.

I'm currently using flip caps in the place of the eye cup so I can keep scope turned on but not light up myself.

Scope is question is a pulsar trail if it matters

I do like how flir made the switch on the top of the 536 so that I can just leave it in standby until I'm about to shoot, so that unit I just use the eye cup as intended.

Pulsar will light you up even in standby mode though because the little screen saver is bright as hell.

... these shuttered eye pieces ...

I got some Chinese and Aussie ones recently and testing them out. They were all under $10 each. They all seem to workish. The one on the Patrol seems to be the most solid in terms of holding on and I don't notice it in the field.

Wig where did you get those and any chance they will work on Trails or Helions?

 

[wigwamitus]

Well between all of them one of them probably will, but so far, I've been trying to get them to work on the PVS-14 backends of the trijicons. Don't the trails and helions already come with their own ??

I can try on my Apex, but it has a nice long one already on there it comes with.

The Trail has an eyepiece, but its not shuttered and the Helion has just a rubber flap kinda thing.

Mark I can tell you once they deliver. I ordered the same one Wig said he put on his patrol and I will be trying it on a trail xp50 when it arrives.

These are the SHUTTERED ones I used to have on the Armasights ...
