Trying to keep up with some of the questions, but some I may not be able to fully address until after the show. TOR-MINI VPC is not submersible, but splash/moisture resistant, with both momentary and constant function. Zeroing adjustments are done with recessed allen key adjusters on the top and left side (when mounted at the 12 o’clock). No remote switch port, in-line with barrel, low to the rail surface (HOB will be affected by rail height as well), and does not need to be removed to change batteries. It’s a simple but affordable device, and the stepped output settings make it remarkably versatile for the price, which we tried to keep as low as possible while still being durable and functional and made in the USA. As already surmised by many, yes, the Artemis has some of my fingerprints on it. There will be a dovetail version, however the first design efforts focused on the complex ball detent adjustment mechanisms, and the strength of the monocular pod connections to the bridge to remove as much extraneous movement, and provide as much strength possible. ANVS version will not have an onboard battery and ANVIS retrofit versions are planned (hence auto-gain only variant). The design will absolutely change and evolve over time, the version being shown now is only the first working prototype built, and among other things, has almost zero weight reduction or control measures integrated, as it was, as I said, primarily a proof of concept prototype for the pod-to-PAS attachment and ANVS adjustment mechanism, however as it stands, it weighs in at what I would consider to be a respectable 578 grams (~20.3 ounces), and again, that’s without integrating any of the planned methods of weight reduction. I cannot stress enough that the current prototype being shown is in its infant stages of development, but are also realistic enough to know that as we begin field testing the device with end users, in training, and in classes, rumors and gossip were going to get out, so we may as we figured we may as well get ahead of it and let people know we’re working on it, instead of messing with all the cloak and dagger of editing, blurring photographs, making people carry around stacks of NDAs to classes, etc.—some aspects of the design are now patent pending as well. That being said, there’s no firm ETA or pricing. We have internal targets, but needless to say, we won’t be sharing those just quite yet. ~Augee View Quote |

I'm not sure if you are trying to imply there is something in the Sionyx thread that says these units are on par with gen3.... But I can ASSURE you that the first two versions of the Aurora are NOT anywhere on par with gen 3 I bought them after reading reports of such and while it is a useful little thing for the price!.. A gen 3 14 replacement it is not! View Quote |

I wonder how the new laser compares to the Bushnell Night Chase. Also class-1, also side buttons with no remote, but has integrated BUIS, and one version has an illuminator.
I've never seen one in real life though, or a decent review. |

Bushnell's laser line was announced in 2017 and as I recall only in red and that is all their site says. I do not recall reading or seeing anything about them doing IR and certainly nothing about one with an IR pointer and IR illuminator. If anything IR existed from them someone would have mentioned it here at some point. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

That would have been awesome but it seems dead in the water. It was only actually for sale for a short time and it was almost $600 iirc and now they seem to be gone except for Bushnell's rebranded version with a red laser. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

How do you think the LAM will stand up to magnum shotgun recoil. This may be what I am looking for if it will take the abuse.

So Nightoptics is not Bushnell, and based on the announcement dates Bushnells line of red lasers was prior to Nightoptics IR offerings and now they are DOA anyway

I fondled the Artemis a bit. That sucker felt sooo nice. The smooth machining on the bridge piece and the sliding in/out of the ball detent mount were like no other housing I’ve handled. Not sure if it’s just way tighter tolerances or a different material where the interface is at, but I’m excited to watch the development. Was very impressed in the fit and finish of the early prototype. |

What's the background of Pixels on Target? Their Voodoo-S seems like a next gen SkeetIR, especially with the ability to integrate into a Wilcox flip mount.

View Quote One of the main principals of PoT is a former BAE program manager pre-Trijicon acquisition of OASYS, so he's intimately familiar with previous offerings on the market and ways in which it could be improved, as well as having existing relationships with the right people on both the R&D/technical side and the acquisitions/procurement side to make a credible swing for the bleachers. I've got only a little bit of hands-on time with the units, but as may be apparent, I'm pretty excited about the performance of the unit, and while I of course recognize that it's not a "cheap" unit, considering other products in the same SWaP class with similar performance, it's certainly not out of the ballpark. The "M" variant is equally impressive, and PoT is suggesting that it will be capable of a 1,500m engagement range, which based on what I've seen is not out of the realm of possibility. It is still early to say for sure as it's still relatively new, but needless to say FWIW, I'm fairly excited to be working with them and seeing where this all goes. ~Augee |

Anybody have pics/info on the new Carson goggle housing? View Quote Good news: I found limited info on the Carson BNVD goggle. It's an articulating goggle with AA battery compartment and has push button controls that are similar to the NVD BNVD. Bad news: We're probably not going to see any info on it until a lawsuit between NVD & Carson is settled. The radio silence makes sense now, lol. |

What about the 16mm format RNVG housing that was briefly teased prior in this thread?
What about the Carson hand-held fusion monocular, any more details with that one? |

Thanks for that looks like price is $8999 for black.
The NVD BNVD-Mini is also available in 16mm What I'm really after are hard specs, esp weight. I'm gonna send them an email, will update. |

SHOT is annoying. “Hey look at all this cool shit you won’t be able to buy for the next 18-24 months” They should have another shot show where these NV vendors actually have products on the shelves from shit they “released” a year ago. Suppressor companies too. It succkkssss to have $7,000 you want to throw at a company and they’re like “We’ll take your money but you gotta wait a year for us to get the kinks out”.
