    Nice review. Very thorough, and agree with pretty much all of it. There is, however, one one big flaw in the design with that you didn't touch on. They are missing an adjustable stop for the side swing adjustment. This means if you flip one to the side (like you do at 5:11) and then pull it back down, it will go all the way until it hits you in the nose. This is *not* an insignificant issue. One of the biggest limitations of NODs is the 30 degree field of view. You lose even more if you don't set the interpupillary distance properly. You lose it every time you flip up with the current design, and can also come out if they get bumped. Not easy to fix under stress, and requires both hands if you stowed them flat. Like them a lot, but wish I have gotten 31s for the stops.
