Anyone else having the windage and especially elevation act weird? I'll adjust the elevation to come up a bit, but the laser does a spiral all over the place up, down, left, right, and eventually settles. I can get it zeroed, but fine tuning the zero is a pain because up doesn't necessarily make it go up.

We'll send ya an RMA and label at no cost to you of course.  PM here if needed, here to always assist.

Bottoming the adjusting screw in both directions resulted in zero movement left or right. RMA in progress.

Looks like artillery on the horizon.  So glad you got to capture how sensitive a modern Gen 3 device can be, even at distance only using .2mW of power! My point early on designing this system was to make a very simple and affordable IR pointer with variable power to cut out the darn blooming with a .7mW laser by not having to mitigate it by adding additional IR Lum. I gotta ask, what suppressor were you using? Torward the end of the vid we virtually only heard the trigger, bolt and clang of the target! Or was that just the microphone not picking up the full shot report? Good stuff and thank you for sharing.

@TNVC - Can you tell about the changes to the mounting interface? I just got one of these a couple of weeks ago, and I've yet to see the rail clamp mine has pictured anywhere else, and I've seen no mention of any changes.

Is one setup any better than the other from a strength/longevity perspective? I'm not familiar with PL mounting hardware, but this looks a lot cleaner and less chintzy than the original cap screws.    |

Tagged, as I build my potential "bill of materials" list for jumping into NV.
I don't need the distance some others might, and De-TEST nose-heavy guns. So this might be what the doc ordered as it seems birthing/teething problems are being sorted out, which is cool to see. |

Don't have the IR version yet, but I do have the visible green laser. So far so good. Been three weeks and it's still not dead.
It's a marked improvement from the TOR Micro with its massive battery drain while "off" and a hard 1 week cap on battery life even if it's not used at all. Really though, this unit is great. Low profile but excellent power. I'm just nervous about its ability to hold charge while off after the experience with the TOR Micro. |

Where the hell do ya get those batteries anyway? Mounted on my duty rifle at 1200 waiting for my 14 to zero, qual and use. I'll post a NV noob review then. I haven't used NVGs since the PVS 7 was the shit. Fuck I'm old. I see a lot of practice, trial and error in my future. |
