No video yet, but HUGE thank you to Jay with Sure Shot NV. Hopefully tomorrow night I'll have video and pictures of some hogs and deer down doing dep hunting for some of my local farmers!

That is not going to work. As you can already see from trying your phone, you need something with MORE zoom than 1x to capture the image. A GoPro, without modification, has LESS than 1X.I am going to try and mount my gopro to the buffer tube for some better pictures
why not just blue tooth to your phone and capture the pictures and or video that wayThat is not going to work. As you can already see from trying your phone, you need something with MORE zoom than 1x to capture the image. A GoPro, without modification, has LESS than 1X.
You're on the right track with your plan and which accessories you need. When doing tasks that will get you kilt in the streets, your brain will work VERY hard to use the dominant-eye image. That's why I put my PVS-14 on my dominant eye when I run dual band.OK, what’s the best ways to bridge mount one of these with a PVS-14? I’m thinking PVS14 on the strong side eye and the thermal on the weak side so if the thermal is dismounted I can still use the i2 NV to operate operationally...
Also, what all accessories do I need for helmet and also clip on mounting? Dovetail shoe thing and the double-sided ADM mount thing?

Agree completely…Really though, if you're not running dual HMT, are you even operating operationally?
Why does the movie Blazing Saddles come to mind and the scene where the sheriff of Rock Ridge says let me pull this out.
Horta will allow no other man to flex on this forum

Holy shit.. well I’m just going to save myself $5980, go to Home Depot, buy a $20 shovel and dig a hole to crawl into and die at this point.
That's what's up. Have you figured out how to keep the compass from coming back on every time you power cycle the units?
Do you like being lost? Because that’s how you get lost.That's what's up. Have you figured out how to keep the compass from coming back on every time you power cycle the units?
Compass disappears after a few seconds in helmet mode. Does the same in clipon mode too. Yours behave differently?That's what's up. Have you figured out how to keep the compass from coming back on every time you power cycle the units?
Yes, and it also reappears every time you press any button, or use the menus, etc. But that's not what I was asking.Compass disappears after a few seconds in helmet mode. Does the same in clipon mode too. Yours behave differently?
Any more thoughts on the NX8 behind this?
I planned on using it mainly with a T5XI 1-5, SFP, and hoped to have a useable BDC. I ultimately returned my RH25 as I found the image at 5x barely usable. Screen was nice and sharp with pixels easily visible, but just not enough thermal detail to use with BDC. Also it wasn’t great in front of a 3.5x TA-11 were I expected it to be a nice pairing. I think 1-4 is reasonable with 1-3 being the most useable range. I am keeping my Nox35 and seeing what else comes along for the time being.I’d imagine the Vortex Gen2 HD 1-6x a good pairing with this right?
I have a Razor HD LH 2-10x (G4 BDC SFP) and a Leupold VX6 Multigun 1-6x (CMR2) available to use. The 2-10x is probably a very poor choice and I feel like a Razor JM1 reticle is probably going to be a bit cleaner/finer than the VX6 CMR2. It probably edges out the Leupy in glass and toughness, too. So I’m thinking about selling the VX6 and put the cash towards a used Razor Gen2... that extra ~1/2 pound is a bit of a pill to swallow.
Couple of tech questions I can’t seem to find online and an observation... (I’m an opto-mechanical engineer, by trade)
1) how many “zero profiles” does the RH25 have? Do the zero profiles allow for setting it up for some rifles in clip-on mode or other on standalone mode? How does that work?
B) Is there a manual available for download?
iii) I noticed the factory mount has recoil/acceleration reducing features and the RH25 is rated to .300WM ... clever (I always thought someone should make linearly damped optic mounts for abusive weapons like the SCAR.) However this raises a host of questions, because most aren’t using it... wouldn’t our use of the ADM mount and pictail remove these recoil mitigating features and thusly necessitate a caliber derating? (ie: Was the weapon endurance tested & approved with the dampened mount or the pictail mount?) Does the use of a rigid mount on a weapon void warranty in any way? Perhaps the use of the pictail mount is the reason users see the screen flickering during recoil mentioned earlier this thread. I can’t imagine that’s typical or acceptable behavior on a unit approved for production... I’ve never noticed it on Yoters. Which is doubly confusing because I’d assume they share the same infiray micro II core and are rigid mounted.
I really like your watch. What is it?Here is the sections of the manual that talk about your questions. I haven't messed around with zero profiles, this unit will be used mainly as a scanner and clip-on for one rifle for me.
Clip on adjustment just shifts the screen on X & Y axis. On other clip-on's I've used there was a reticle that was aligned with the day scope to collimate but not the case here, more or less just eyeball it center with your optic.
Its a Marathon MSAR auto, held up awesome to some pretty hard use over the last few years.I really like your watch. What is it?
Sweet. Thanks.Its a Marathon MSAR auto, held up awesome to some pretty hard use over the last few years.

Has anyone put round on paper with the RH25 in clip-on mode yet? I checked zro for the first time today and wasn't anywhere close to being on paper even up to 25 yards. I dont know if I am missing a step in "collimating" but going off the manual: long press POWER & MENU buttons gives me a blank screen to adjust but no reticle to line up with my day scope. I spoke with another member who had a similar experience.

Update: I placed the rifle in my shop vice and focused across the shop, adjusted the thermal screen to line up on the same point as the day scope (it was way off). Now check this out, while focusing the thermal my reticle starts walking, down & left when turning clockwise, up and right while turning counter clockwise.... tell me thats not normal?
Are you adjusting the RH25 eyepiece at max optical magnification on your scope?Interesting. I’m having same problem as @Ranger93
Popped the RH25 infront of my razor 1-6 which is zero’d at 50yds and shot at 50yds…. Not even on paper. No idea where I was hitting. Dicked around for a bit but had other things to do. Going to try and get it going next week here.
Yep, adjusted the rh25 eyepiece focus to be clearest as possible to the scope and adjusted the front lens focus to be clear as possible too.Are you adjusting the RH25 eyepiece at max optical magnification on your scope?
Measure the length of your batteries. My Nvision did that and it was due to the shorter length 18650sSo… I have twin RH-25’s and have used both helmet-mounted, but only one of them on a rifle. I took the other one out today while doing a POI shift comparison with the new Steiner C35, Voodoo-S, SkeetIR-x, UTM-x, TigIR-6M, and UTC-Xii.
Mounted Unit #2, everything looked good, Clipon Mode engaged, popped off a round, unit shuts off. I’ve seen this with other thermals before and it was usually a not-fully-tightened battery compartment, so I go to tighten it, but it won’t go any tighter. Turn it back on, pop-off another round, unit turns off again. Swap batteries, check tightness. Check mount. Not too close scope, all looks good. Turns off again.
This was on a suppressed Geissele 16” DDC in 5.56, so nothing out of the ordinary.
Anyone else having this issue?
Prob be good to tell us what batteries you're using, just so folks can keep track. And which of the two included caps you're running. And how many shots have you taken with the RH25, ever? I probably only have 20 rounds downrange with mine at the moment.So… I have twin RH-25’s and have used both helmet-mounted, but only one of them on a rifle.

Using the NightCore I don't have this issue but using the slightly shorter modlight batteries it shuts off.Was using Orbtronic 18650’s tonight. NOT the included Nightcore.
By now I would figure a guy like Horta was used to situations where hot little things get turned off by his shorter-than-average cylindrical offerings. I'm confused?Using the NightCore I don't have this issue but using the slightly shorter modlight batteries it shuts off.
Hey fellas,
I finally got around to getting the video done. I thought I had the Flu, turns out it was the Chyna Flu and it turned to pneumonia. Boy that was a mess… Anyhow I’ll post new footage and pictures as I get it in here in this thread.
If anyone has any questions feel free to ask. As soon as the Vortex 1-10 gets here I’ll have video through that also.
Thanks
Jay
