The way thangs lookin these days, maybe a nuke blast rating would be good.They both have 20m water ratings, what other environmental sealing are you referring to?

My manual says "2m for 2 hours" in the back. Interesting that they'd nerf the specs from the social media claim.
Absolutely.Yep, if it is down 2 meters in water for 2 hours that likely means you waz "kilt in da streets" and wont be needing it any more.
There's a delete function in the menu, you can't view or transfer it without the data cable.Also...if you take a picture with eCOTI, can you review it, delete it, etc via the unit itself, or is it just forever on the disk and unaccessible unless you have the cable?
So I can capture AND delete, but that's it (unless I get the cable)?There's a delete function in the menu, you can't view or transfer it without the data cable.
Correct. no Bluetooth in the unit, cable data transfer only. Same for uploading a GPS routeSo I can capture AND delete, but that's it (unless I get the cable)?
Can you "feel" the extra heft of the eCOTI, or is that nonsense just lost in the mix?Having had both side by side, the resolution difference may be there on paper, but I can't see it. The presets appear to be more or less identical, but the manual gain setting on the E-COTI are quite valuable in getting the cleanest image. In theory, the ATAK plug-in should go public soon, so things like route guidance will be there, if that's something you need.
To me the weight difference is not noticeable. The TAD is mounted more forward than the E-COTI, so that may or may not pose an issue rhinoed up for clearance in and out of vehicles and the like.Can you "feel" the extra heft of the eCOTI, or is that nonsense just lost in the mix?
This is the TAD?The mounting method is a bit odd. I have PVS-14 style optics on my binos but it does stick out surprisingly far if I use the PVS-14 side of the mount ring. TNVC even commented on it when I sent them a pic. Then again if I put it on the PVS-15 side of the ring it sits closer and I can’t actually tell any significant difference in the thermal overlay (ie it still seems to sit properly on borders and edges).
So all COTI mounting brackets should be clamping onto the Infinity Stop Ring on your NV device. Also, it is prefered that the Infinity Stop Ring be a metal aluminum one instead of plastic. That away when you clamp the COTI mounting bracket on your NV device it is not "squeezing/crushing" your synthetic/plastic NV obective assembly.
Clamping the COTI mounting bracket onto the synthetic/plastic objective is really not the correct way to mount the bracket. You can do it in a pinch, but it potentially could result in some damage and will rotate your COTI if you change the focus on your NV device.
No matter how you mount the COTI on you NV device, I strongly recommend you have some sort of lanyard system on it so you do not loose it out in the field.
I want to say something slick, but my US made uberkit's weak showing kinda slapped that smart out my mouth.
The bracket goes on the lock ring. The objective is not a suitable mounting point.I will have to check when I get home from this business trip but IIRC the TAD manual says to put it on the objective, not the lock ring.
Rotating a COTI doesn’t matter other than the menu might be off kilter but it’s not like changing the focus on NV takes much movement.
Yes it will have a lanyard but I’m not putting a lanyard on and off when I am taking photos in my gun room for TNVC’s CS rep. Also the lanyard is for emergency retention, not to somehow make it ok that the device doesn’t latch into its primary mount.
