FedEx dropped off a box for me yesterday! Lo and behold, it was the Super Hogster from the pre-order.
Opening up the box everything comes in a nice carry bag.
Its well packed and laid out. The imager and carry strap is in the main pouch, with the side pouch used for the batteries, cable and a lens cleaner. Room for additional bits and pieces if needed.
The unit itself is nicely sized and not overly bulky. S&W 22 pistol (with suppressor) props it up for the photoshoot.
Havent had a chance to play with it very much as of yet, but super excited and prelim fooling about and it feels like a good unit with a good set of options. Like the reticle choices and color schemes. Really nothing negative to say about it. The imager is a tight fit in the carry case, but not concerningly so. About the only feedback I would have is to have the carry pouch be ever so slightly longer but thats *really* nitpicking.
Got it from Night Goggles, and while happy with the unit wont lie was less impressed with shipping times. I had signed up to the preorder 3 months before the unit was released, so was a bit frustrating to not get one in my hands until nearly 3 weeks after they first shipped. Not sure if it was due to the number or people on the preorder list (3 months in advance? I figured I'd be the first...) or whether something else was at play.
None the less. Happy with the unit, impressed with the packaging and overall satisfied with NGI and the communications through the process. Huge thanks to Korey for answering my questions and letting me generally pester the hell out of him about the unit.
Issues elsewhere in life are going to put a hold on getting out in the field, but hey, thats life. Looking forward to really putting this thing though the paces.
