I've tried to ask why not onboard recording, and a factory battery pack? At least N-Vision is offering some hi quality stuff made here, all while listening to hunters and what they need.
Skinney, in your experience with these two units, is the IR Hunter MKIII 60mm still the king? Im really intrigued by the new iray mk1, the image looks good, but time will tell with how these units hold up in the field, and whether or not iray will keep up with the warranty as advertised.
N-vision does make a quality picture, that is for sure. But, the polymere fiberglass reingforced housings that were used on the Halo series left a lot to be desired, compared to the trijicon aluminum housings. I know there are a few of us that would sacrifice weight for durability. Ill take turrets over buttons any day, especially on nights where my fingers are so cold I cannot feel them. From what Ive seen in pictures, and been told by people with hands on experience of the new Halo's, the same mounting system and polymere housing material was used as the previous generation.
I actually called trijicon in Wixom MI last week, and asked customer service if there was any plans for a new thermal line, or updated(s) to the existing thermal lines available now. The customer service rep put me through to R&D and I asked the same question to that guy. He said no not at this time, and, that they were working on a LRF with an integrated anomometer for precision shooting. Nothing with thermal.
