I've been looking for SKEETIR-L/ SKEETIR-X footage, pictures and comparisons before I pull the trigger. Its been years since I've had my hands on one and know the specs of the newer L and X, but would like to see more in-use media if anybody has some. What is an expected realistic engagement range when used with a LPVO?

I’m not sure about the X model, but the L starts looking pretty bad past 1.5x-2x with an lpvo. Neither model is collimated, so you need to rezero with the skeet attached. My elevation zero doesn’t change, but my windage is 9 clicks to the right. I just wrote “+9” under the windage turret cap to remind me when I take the skeet on and off.
Skeet-X is similar. Good from 1-3x optical scope magnification, no more. Detects a long way — about 1Km — but practical engagement maxes out at 200-300 yards. Skeets are really more of an “afterthought” clip-on.
The Skeet-X is actually very good regarding collimation. Using the eyepiece adjustment, you can get it to MOA POI shift, which is perfect for anything you’re going to engage with it.
If weapon-mounting — either as a dedicated scope or as a clip-on — is a primary intended use, you would be FAR better suited by the Voodoo-S. For helmet mounting the Skeet is still the undisputed King of All Thermals Ever Made(!) but the Voodoo-S owns the Skeet when it comes to sticking it on a weapon.

If warranty is important to you on a 12-16K $$$ digital camera that will be subjected to recoil, I’d lean towards the Eotech for its 10 years vs 1 for the Voodoo.
this guy has a pretty cool channel. Clip-lr looks pretty awesome in this video. Don't think theres a head to head comparison between the Clip-lr and voodoo yet but he has multiple videos with the voodoo.
ClipIR and Voodoo-S are VASTLY different units. The ClipIR is a unitasker — it is designed to do one thing, and one thing only — be used as a clipon in front of a day optic.
The Voodoo is designed to do EVERYTHING — helmet mount, handheld scanner, dedicated weapon thermal, clipon, and so on. It does all of them exceptionally well, but it’s not designed as a clipon, so any good dedicated clipon should outperform it in that specific task.
