I like that remote On/off feature . Nice small & light weight with 12 deg. FOV also . & Good Price .
Really looks like they put some design & market thought into an Obj. Clip-on that is small & compact .

would also like to hear feedback if anyone has some eye-time with or owns one .

Jay and I have been demoing the 3p with mg. It's been a pretty impressive little unit. Good up to 12x on my LMT/Schmidt combo.

Thanks.

Re: WTK ARMASIGHT CO-Mini GEN 3+ Alpha

that arfcom link buries this unit, but again not one actual user and speculation

...considering it's pricing, what more could you expect? looks like an ATN off band from it's exterior design

 

[Vette447]

Anyone else have any firsthand experience with the Armasight Clip-on NVDs? I am really only interested in Gen 3 stuff. Anyone have one or used one?

 

[GhostFace]

There is a guy on Arfcom that bought one and I was real close to buying one too but I sent him
An IM asking how he liked it. He had never fired it and hadn't tested the RTZ at the time but was suppose to shoot it soon. I have him a month before I sent two more IMs asking how it performed. I never heard back from him...

 

[White Mamba]

I meet the owner of Armasight at my local range once, I think he said he used to own ATN. Seemed like a nice guy, he told me I could bring down my equipement and try any of his products if i wanted to

 

[GhostFace]

I think I am going to buy a ATN PS40 early next year, I have talked with enough people to feel confident about the working. I just can't find much on the Armasight.

Hey Chris -

What distance were you able to see out to with it at 12x mag.

Can you give some more information about whetherr you tested the ABC with IR and how the unit performs without IR on moonless nights with its itsy-bitsy front objective.

Do you plan on putting out a review with video and photos?

Thx,

BB

 

[Vette447]

Anyone else tried one of these systems (Gen 3 at least) by now? I would be interested to hear about anyone's real life experience. Thanks

I'll get to use one within the next couple weeks and will report back.

For anyone curious as to what the sight picture might be with one of these in front of your day scope why not add a PVS14 in front. I did not say use the PVS14 in front for actual shooting just in front to get an idea of what the Co Mini might provide. PVS14 has a 40 degree field of view and the mini was stated to be 12 degrees, so even a narrower field before magnification.

It generally doesn't really work that way though, as the 14 is designed to be looked through directly, as opposed to being used in conjunction with an optic.
Think about it in reverse; to see what the pvs looks like, just look through a clip on. Doesn't jive.

Great. I look forward to hearing your report/observations.
