EZToForget, you got the right info. HALO-LR is available from a number of dealers for preorder at $7,495.00. HALO is $5,995.00. Shipments are scheduled to start in the second part of February.

Good points, 35Remington. Different users are looking for different features and functionality. Our focus was to design devices that have the highest possible optical quality and longest possible battery life while using standard off the shelf batteries (or rechargeable batteries, or external USB power banks). This approach precluded us from adding certain power consuming functionality, such as PIP or WiFi. Those are _very_ expensive in terms of power - just look at the heat dissipating fins on a side of XP50.
Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By 35Remington:
Ancient battery system, no internal recording, no PIP, no Wi-Fi, basically same magnification as Trail XP50. And it costs $1,600.00 more than I just found an XP50 for online. This might be Trij competition, but I don't think a guy that's considering a Pulsar is going to be attracted to this. |

So is plug and play, external power, an option on your new stuff? If it is, that’s a pretty big advantage over trijicon stuff. At least in my mind . Y’all had me at the upgrade for customers , that got in early on the atlas.... side note, you do have video out, but analog only? What does that mean, in simple terms? Also, what’s the warranty policy? There seems to be a misunderstanding amongst us peons about warranty in general nowadays. If a guy buys it “used”, will you still honor mfg warranty? Thanks for your time

But I do honestly recommend you swap out the 50mm for a 60 or even 75mm lens in the LR to truly match Trijicon in image detail and range. Otherwise you will have come close with all the hoopla you jumped through to get that BAE core, just to let some company like Pulsar eclipse you on the cheap when they come out with 75mm lens for their XP (which they surely are planning on right now). Regardless, here's to bringing down the price in the industry.

On the spec sheet it lists "USB" output. What does that do?
Thanks |

USB Output can be used for image download and external power sources like a vehicle or external battery pack such as the ones available for mobile phone charging.

Hello Tmm1270, thanks for your questions.
External Power: our HALO and HALO-LR scopes, as well as ATLAS binos, work from external USB power sources (power banks/bricks, USB chargers, computer ports, as long as USB output is rated at least 1A). USB cable is shipped with every unit. Additionally, HALO and HALO-LR (not ATLAS) can be powered up by rechargeable CR123 batteries, for users who prefer this way. Analog video output - it means that the only video output available is NTSC (or PAL for non-US customers). It's an older standard that was used in older TVs. The drawback of this type of output is that it only supports roughly 30Hz refresh rate and has a resolution that is lower than that of our image sensor (640x480). As a result, analog video output does not have a quality (both in terms of resolution and refresh rate) of the original video. The main advantage of the analog video output is wide compatibility with variety of external displays and video recorders. Warranty. Our warranty policy is very simple. Warranty applies to the device and not to the user. The warranty period for the device starts on the day the invoice for the unit is issued and ends 5 years (for thermals) later. We don't care how many times device changes owners during the warranty period. I hope this clarifies a few things for you. Regards, Max. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Tmm1270:

Thanks for taking time to answer my questions. Your warranty policy kicks ass, and is the way it should be . I agree, it shouldn’t matter who owns it. Hope all the other mfgs realize the just got put on notice... the analog part is still confusing to me, but that’s because I’m not that smart . Rechargeable battery via cable, not provided by third party will be nice too . I’ll take one as soon as they’re available. And I need another one like I need a hole in my head.
Side note, as a bonus, you don’t have to deal with anything California |

Tmm1270, please give me some time. I'll try to think about ways to explain analog video output a little better, or maybe somebody here can help me out.
Yes, it's a bonus that we don't have to deal with anything California. But we are in Massachusetts and it not much better but colder most of the time. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Tmm1270:

The California comment was a light hearted jab about not having to deal with its residents in general. As it turns out I’m not smart or funny.....
Serious note about the analog video out. Is the trijicon stuff analog out? You’re just gonna lose some resolution? If so, that ain’t the end of the world . Again, thanks for taking the time to come here and answer questions As far as Massachusetts goes, I was in Boston once, on way to Vermont. Had to drive from the airport. They should burn the place down smooth to the ground, and build Indian casinos there |

Tmm1270, Yes, Trijicon's stuff has exactly the same analog video output as our HALO scopes and associated quality loss of the recorded video.

Are the halo lr lenses the same as the atlas? Or put another way is the image the same btw the two since they are both 50mm? Is there a reason the halos don't have the multi color mode in addition to the standard white hot and black hot like the atlas?

Your warranty explanation and stance is commendable. Equipment on the consumer side of this industry changes hands a lot as people upgrade and try new devices. As someone who moves through lots of gear until I settle on a winning piece, I truly appreciate you tagging the warranty to the device and not the REGISTERED owner, like some of the competition. This will certainly help fund upgrades by preserving resale value.
