    Night Vision Thermal IFF beacon?

    Like everything I’m interested in, I’ll wait for TheHorta to buy it and review it first.

    Night Vision Thermal IFF beacon?

    That definitely crossed my mind, and I know that people tape them to targets to zero their thermal scopes, but I’m looking for something a little mite “highspeed, low drag” than that, if possible.

    Night Vision Thermal IFF beacon?

    Yes, it’s not that the beacon is needed to just be seen. It’s needed to make sure that the heat signature over there “is with us”.

    Night Vision Thermal IFF beacon?

    So do IR strobes. What’s your point? Unless you’re saying that IR strobes give off enough heat to be identified by thermal.

    Night Vision Thermal IFF beacon?

    It seems like there’s a plethora of IR beacons/strobes on the market from a couple bucks to a couple hundred dollars. Doing a quick search for a thermal IFF beacon on the other hand only turned up a couple results and I’m not sure if any were for sale to civilians. Seeing how identifying friend...

    Night Vision PVS-24-Through the tube pictures?

    Would you say that the picture/video is a good representation of what your eye’s see? I’d love to just rent/borrow one, but it doesn’t look like any of the rental websites offer one and none of my friends are into NV. I fear that there’s no substitute for just looking through it with my own...

    Night Vision PVS-24-Through the tube pictures?

    Thanks for the specs. Anyone else have any through the tube pictures? Skyscrapin’s tube is really nice, but not the average tube in most units.

    Night Vision PVS-24-Through the tube pictures?

    Can you give me some details on your picture? What magnification are you on in this picture? What distance (estimate)? What were the lighting conditions? What tube specs do you have? Just trying to gauge what the average is vs what you have. I thought that WP units weren’t available from L3...

    Night Vision PVS-24-Through the tube pictures?

    Is that a WP tube? Or did the hue just appear blueish in the picture?

    Night Vision PVS-24-Through the tube pictures?

    Have been researching NV clip-ons recently and am interested in the PVS-24 to pair up with my TA02 ACOG. There’s a decent amount of forum discussion about the PSV-24, especially on here, but it’s very hard to find any “through the tube” pictures. I’m mainly just looking at what to expect as far...

    Night Vision Question regarding SkeetIR/clip-on thermal

    So what do I need to make sure is in order before attempting to buy a 320 SkeetIR-L from a dealer. What paperwork needs to be provided, etc? Might go that route if they’re $4k+ cheaper and 80% of the performance. Almost all of my shooting is within 200 yards. Would I be missing that much from...

    Night Vision Question regarding SkeetIR/clip-on thermal

    You mentioned that the street price for a SkeetIR is considerably less than what I listed. Looks to me that TNVC and similar vendors are selling it for $14-15k. Are you aware of a better price? Or are you talking about another SkeetIR variant I’m not aware of? I’m not too excited about having to...

    Night Vision Question regarding SkeetIR/clip-on thermal

    You threw a lot of information at me, which has helped, but has also raised more questions (doesn’t it always?). I would not be moving this from one gun to the other. Perhaps someone else in this thread said that. I didn’t find it in my original post. So having it zero’d once and leaving it...

    Night Vision Question regarding SkeetIR/clip-on thermal

    After some research, I’m uncertain what “hybrid mode” actually is. Trijicon’s own literature seems almost purposely vague. Can you explain it to me? Also, the IR-Patrol M300W is no longer advertised as a clip on, but used to be. Is that a viable option if I’m not going to be moving it from gun...

    Night Vision Question regarding SkeetIR/clip-on thermal

    Does the Snipe-IR play nice with a 1.5x mag optic?

    Night Vision Question regarding SkeetIR/clip-on thermal

    I’m itching for an “all in one” thermal that can be helmet mounted for walking/spotting, and then thrown on a Wilcox FTS mount for clip-on duty in front of my 1.5x compact ACOG. It appears that the SkeetIR-x is the best thermal clip on for use with no/low magnification optics(correct me if I’m...
