Good review, and good points made. Hope you can get your hands on an Iray mh25 one of these days and evaluate it. I think it out performs the breach....

Would love to see a video on the CQT by steiner and how it could be utilized with NVGs

Hi @nitewalker. What do I need in tetms of top of the line mounting that would help bridge/overlay a pvs 14 with eventually the armasight thermal moncular that isnt available yet on an ops core bump. As well as what battery compartment/sources would be need to provide extended power to both from the back. Im new to this but I think for hunting a dual pvs and thermal mono with a thermal scope on the gun with a MAWL or Kiji is the most versatile setup.

Have you considered building a adapter to use the video signal from the COTI on a monocular oled screen? Affordable ones (120 to 180$ depending on dealer margin) come in 1024x768. I think using some gold plated pogo pins in a 3d printed plug will do nicely. The only custom metal part you would need, is the cupped nut to screw it on.

How would you compare running a breach and PVS 14 on a bridge vs running the COTI on a PVS 14 or other system?

@NITEWALKER-NIGHTVISION

3 жыл бұрын

They essentially accomplish different things. A -14/Breach combo can be very effective but it is not as reliable or effective as a true thermal clip on such as the COTI or ECOTI that provides a true thermal overlay. Where the Breach excels is that if you get a thermal hit, you can use the Breach only to get better identification of what the thermal hit is due to it's superior thermal performance. The COTI is for very rapid detection that is superior for use with night vision and effective targeting/aiming of IR lasers while using thermal since it's overlaid with NV. You may or may not be able to identify things based on the size, shape, etc. such as yup that's a cow or yup that's a two legged creature, or other times you'll need to close distance, use IR or a thermal scanner, in order to identify what it is.

In a two-way range situation, which device would be more appropriate? Is there significant input lag with either device?

The COTI. It's a true overlay so you can easily target/aim using IR lasers, etc.

It'll work if the objective lens is close to the same diameter as as a PVS-14 or Anvis objective. At least in terms of using the adapter. Otherwise, you'd have to DIY it in place with a rubber band, etc.

As long as it is mounted up (going towards 12 o’clock) it shouldn’t be an issue for most. Otherwise, if it’s going towards 6 o’clock it may interfere with getting on the gun. This isn’t an issue with most binos but it can be with monoculars due to the housing (battery compartment) limiting where you can mount it. You can adjust the RDS brightness levels against the COTI display brightness and thermal signatures in the background.

Based on this video, I'd like to pick up the Flir Breach and a PVS 14 along with a helmet mount. Can you tell me where to purchase? There are just too many places that offer it, but too many scams. Plz help!

@@NITEWALKER-NIGHTVISION That's good to know. I'm interested in any thermal monocular that has max positive identification ranges. So far, I like the RH25 over the NOX, but if the market is going to push past the iRay and give us better detection ranges, I'll wait. The ECOTI seems (to me) to be a better option than the Jerry (iRay's COTI). Off the top of my head, a "gucci" option might be the pvs-14 (white phosphor) + ECOTI x RH25. Reason being, you get the huge detection range of the ECOTI and the Positive ID of the RH25 with its 640, while still having a high-quality pvs-14. As long as my brain can transition, this might work for me. :) I also love the flexibility of the RH25 as a standalone or in front of day-optic scope, handheld, etc. While I love the Breach, and originally wanted it, I'm eager to see what can compete with iRay and round out this kind of setup. Bottom line is, I want to be able to detect targets as far away as possible, while being able to ethically ID my quarry, while re-using my day optic (EXPS-4 or my LPVO) Thanks for doing the compare! Reallly helps!

Question, I don't think you anyone could answer this better.. Whats the most flexible/best rig, in your opinion, for combining two Pvs 14s, I don't want to get binos as I want a tube for both my wife and myself..

If you don’t need QD functionally I’d go with the TNVC NPBM-D. Reason being that the locating rings serve as a lanyard of sorts, in that if the screw loosened up, they aren’t going to fall off. However, measure your infinity lock rings! We’ve discovered an issue where the diameters aren’t consistent. The measurements are on the product page. Now, if you want QD functionality, or semi QD functionality, there are several options available varying in price. On the high end is KVC but they are seriously backed up and it’s anyone’s guess when they’ll be readily available. That leaves Wilcox next in price, then the Integrated Components D-14 bridges. An alternative to consider is going with a Mod3B. It’ll give you a proper binocular but with the ability to split one off.
