Sorry, iphone photo through the tube with the COTI done in panorama.  First pic is a tree line at 300 yards over waist high brush.

Second pic is tree line at about 25 yards with small warm sandy creek crossing in the middle with my buddy shouldering his rifle on the middle right, horizontal tree trunk to the right.

As for the helmet:

Team traitor carbon helmet that's too comfy to replace.
Mod 3 goggles
COTI
Inforce white/ir light on the right temple
Guardian IR beacon on top
Plenty of counterweight on back, not quite sure how much.  But while the whole package is plenty heavy, I haven't weighed it, it's comfy.

Ok, wasn't familiar with the COTI. That is sweet.

I lol'd at the Team Traitor comment. I think I'll start calling mine that as well.

Do any companies make accessories for the PT-A Bravo? I'd like to add to mine, but it only has 1 small piece of rail and I can't seem to find anything else for it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It's still an awesome setup. Do you have plans to switch the 14's into a bino housing to cut weight?

I'll eventually get a dedicated bino setup so the 2x PVS-14's can be loaned out and ensnare friends in the addiction.

Also, if you're gonna have superhero powers might as well have a superhero neck.

If you're poor, you can epoxy the J-Arm into either right or left eye position, and it takes a lot of slop out. Then strategic application of electrical tape on the latching portion will get it solid. It's a good stop-gap measure if you're into arts and crafts, lol.

You do not need to epoxy the old "ball and socket" style detents. Just chamfer the detent holes so the hemispheres fit better and the arm will be solid. I do not have a fix for the newer arms with the rectangular pins.

Currently bidding on Surefire V1

Need to upgrade mount and think I might take out the tubes, try and sell the bodies for around $600 a piece and get a true bino housing. I see Anvis/mod3 on fleabay for around $1500 everything except tubes.

Almost have a working system now. The retention cord system is out of the spare parts but is rated/tested to over 2x times the weight of the Wilcox units. I am at 3.5-3.75 pounds all in so not that light a system…

PVS-14
OPS Core Fast bump helmet with cover
Norotos INVG and dovetail adaptor type mount
Princeton Tec Switch MPLS White and IR
Petzel Tikka Plus 2 light – white nav light
Some commercial grade Velcro for the nav lights and PVS-14 lens cap and retention cords
FMA Tactical Helmet Balancing Bag w/ Five Counter Weight OPS FAST ARC MC







Now I can go for a proper night run in the canoe, Lol

I do like how close in everything stays when folded up and just need to sort out what type of hearing pro can fit under the Ops Core (Don't need two way comms but would like electronics so I can hear the lower sounds around me magnified if possible) I have mounted all the Nav lights away from the rail so there should not be any interference with a rail mount? Not sure whats best for the mount and ear muffs...

Thanks for the recommendation, I am surprised the Silynx Clarus Pro rates higher for protection than something like the Howard Leight R-01526 muffs. I will have look into this type of option more! Would work for me with a 3.5 plug to a lightning link adapter for the iPhone.

I have and enjoy a Clarus Pro. If you look around, you can often find them on sale for under $200. If it's from a vendor you don't trust, you might be able to check with OpticsPlanet and see if they will price match. OP is an authorized dealer, so any warranty issues will be dealt with promptly by Silynx. Will lightining link work for headphone use? (I assume you have one of the newest iPhones...)


Also, there are other in ear options, some of which have comms capability, which is why I didn't link to Silynx.

Best of luck!

I assumed the lightning link adapter to 3.5mm headphone jack would allow use of the new iPhones with the system. Would be worth the cost of an adapter plug to test to see if this is possible! Looks like a winning system! Thanks!

Edit- I also have an older iPhone 6 Plus so not an issue for dealing direct with an 3.5mm cord

Heres my helmet and rifle set up for the moment, Gen 2+ PS-14, had an MS2000 on the helmet but that recently broke and will not turn on so will need to find something else. SBR has a Zenitco Perst 4 unrestricted IR laser, and a Surefire M620V. Planning on selling a few things to get a Gen 3 PVS-14 instead of my current Gen2 +.
