See so many here talk about their helmets and such but not many pics of them. Love looking at all the rigs out there and loadouts.
Thought I'd start if off...

From this picture I can deduce.....
Victor can probably stomp your (my) ass
Victor can probably find out where you (I) live, where you work, and where you play
Therefore, don’t piss off Victor
Got it

Well IMHO you are starting out awfully wrong. If I were you, in the interests of safety, I would get the Luna off the helmet. That is way too strong and potentially dangerous illuminator to have on a helmet. Would you mount a loaded Pistol on your helmet?View attachment 7416447
I'll jump in and Yes... yes I know it's pretty skimpy, Victor, but a guy needs to start somewhere.....
The Luna ElIR-3 is a laser based diode. If you took its training bra off and it is performing like it should, it is not eye safe.Point taken. I thought Luna's were eye safe? Any suggestions for a decent long range illuminator?
As long as you have the training bra on the Luna on helmet will be ok.Training bra is still on as per your warnings awhile ago. Not trying to fry eyes so I replaced with a D2 on my hunting rifle but need something comparable for helmet mount.
Haven't been out hunting yet as NV only became legal in PA on the 1st.
Is your setup very heavey?
What ears do you have on the left helmet?
Lol, I'll be sure to pass on the "scissors" comment..You crack me up. Love ya man!Who are the two gay dudes scissoring together on the rope? One has to be Sam. (I always suspected).
ETS: Upon closer inspection, that’s full-on cowboy and the dude on the right appears to be enjoying it.
Good Brother. Good to see your type. You out in the civy world now? Glad to see the gear is still going strong and thank you for the kind words. Several asset members here on the Hide nowadays . The Mod in particular is great Patriot as well! Nah, not sucking up. LoL He's given me some valuable advice on job stuff for a family member wanting to serve.Hey Vic, how 'ya doing? That part of the copter ride you offer or that some work stuff? Or those two just need some alone time?
You oughta know my setup, you sold it to me! BTW, that Crye soft cover is still the titties, only thing I really use. Thanks, if you hadn't turned me onto that I'd probably never have considered it and been content with that Airframe I seldom use (but still glad I have).
I don't have much on my helmet, cover, mount, light, but I would like to either mount the Comtac 4's to it or else figure out a way to use 'em comfortably without doing that.
I'll try and get some pictures but I've got over 200 staples and god knows how many stitches in my R foot at the moment so you'll have to 'scuse me at the present.
FWIW, if you guys need NV shit, Vic is THE man to talk to. Period, end of discussion.
No, that'd be THEIS and I wouldn't be surprised if he did it all from the quantum realm at that. Vic's your buddy, a good guy, but yeah, I wouldn't wanna rub him wrong unless I was ready to get down. The guy's certainly an asset to the 'Hide.
I’d reconsider the comtac 4’s unless you’ve tried them out helmet mounted. I like them a lot as a stand-alone headset for when I’m not wearing a helmet but outside of that it gets weird. If you want in the ear, and don’t need wired comm leads, I’d just get something like the in-ear Walkers. Peltor even makes a few sets. Most of them can Bluetooth now.Hey Vic, how 'ya doing?

You don't still use ear pro. Dude.Cheesy Howard Leights. Been on there 3-4 years now. Work surprisingly well, but rarely used anymore since shooting suppressed.
Still gotta finish attaching a set of ear pro...
Even in the darkest of nights, you have to remind people to GBPSE (go be poor somewhere else).View attachment 7416676
You don't still use ear pro. Dude.
He’s expressing surprise at the fact that you don’t use ear pro when firing suppressed.What?
He’s expressing surprise at the fact that you don’t use ear pro when firing suppressed.
I’m the same way. I use a 9 inch can with a 8 inch barrel 300 bo. My ears take a small kick when I mag dump but I rarely fire more than 5 rounds a night.
What?Bruh... I was being ironical.
WN&H.... after pursuing about 35 pages of helmets on ARFCom I noticed by far the most popular mounted ir light is the Surefire M340V. Will 100 mW throw out much light?The Luna ElIR-3 is a laser based diode. If you took its training bra off and it is performing like it should, it is not eye safe.
I run Evolva T20's also know as UniqueFire T20's. They are eyesafe. These are LED 850nm Illuminators that run on 18650 rechargeable batteries and the Bezel is focusable from tight to wide and has 3 power settings. Low, Medium and High. Slap a 950 nm Pass Filter in front of it and there is ZERO red glow that comes out of them and they are a true stealth illuminator that cannot be seen via animal or human eyes that are not wearing NV.

Where did you get the GBPSE patch? I absolutely need one.
By far the best compact and light setup, and it's been used the most over the years, I swear by this damn thing:

My setup is not light by any means. However, it is properly counterweighted, has 4 D (clouds of Titties) pads and a H-Nape chinstrap. All of that is necessary for a comfortable helmet setup. I can go 10 to 12 hours a night without any issues, but I have a strong neck and wear my stuff on a pretty regular basis so I am pretty used to it.
If I wear a CRY Nightcap and single 14/COTI it seems like I am NAKID.

WN&H..... Just attached the T-20 I got today and we went for a walk. That illuminator is a beast! I was lighting up the trees across the field 340 yds away on low power focused tight. It ain't pretty but it's doing what I want it to. In fact it's showing up the Luna w/o it's t-bra. Thanks for the tip.The Luna ElIR-3 is a laser based diode.

Nice thing about that puppy it is so strong you can put a 950 Pass Filter in front of it which will kill all red visible glow to human or animal eyes and even throttled back because of the 950 Pass Filter it still has plenty of long range throw when you need it too. Or just click it on low and widen the beam up and it is a great CQB Illuminator.WN&H..... Just attached the T-20 I got today and we went for a walk. That illuminator is a beast!

Thanks, I just ordered one for my new helmet. I had this Luna on this past weekend during a hunt and had to be REAL careful not to blind my wife at camp. She needs her vision to see messes to clean up around the house, so this is the least that I can do for herNice thing about that puppy it is so strong you can put a 950 Pass Filter in front of it which will kill all red visible glow to human or animal eyes and even throttled back because of the 950 Pass Filter it still has plenty of long range throw when you need it too.
