The MOST Cost Effective Night Vision To Date
i hope this is the end of g*n videos on youtube. this a major problem in america. #BanThemAll
What are these things used or?
I’ve owned 3 BCA uppers…zero issues.
Give me you best pick for a sub 500.00 PAL / Light Laser combo (Green / IR/ with IR illumination)... For a Mark 18 / 556.
You don’t have many options for sub 500. You have to either go RovyVon GL4 pro or the LMD Pail if you can find it
@@4MRRanch I watched a review of the GL4 which led me down this path. I guess that’s the one I’ll buy.
Excellent video! And thanks for the shoutout, glad I could supply the Romeo 8T for your research and content. They're even harder to find now! Truly few and far between lol. I think part 2 should definitely feature the B team optics: a Comp M4, Romeo 4t, and the Mepro Tru-Vision. I know first hand how painstaking this kind of content is to produce. Keep pumping out greatness!
Happy to do it, thanks for the support. I’ll probably revisit this video and add to the optics tested.
4:02 Maybe show lux/area of the window? Would that be a better representation of light transmission?
Gets complicated when the light meter can’t cover the whole area of every optic I have, it a potential thought for sure
@@4MRRanch Ah yeah good point. Maybe tape off the sensor with a small known area left showing and go off of the lux over that given area. Not sure how the edge of the cover would affect readings though.
Not the end of gun channels. The end of You Tub. I'm waiting to see the change on Rumble. I'm weaning away from You Tub because of policy's that I am not a fan of. This is not just 2a.
I loved this. I wish you were the science guy for garand thunbs video. The data is phenomenal, and you're doing a solid job of giving average guys well digestible info to leverage. Uncle Sugar isn't footing the bill for me, and you can't be on meal team 6 without budget going to the name.
That would be cool to collaborate with the GT team. I appreciate your feedback and am glad to hear you enjoy my video style
Hornady switched 450 primers from small rifle to Large rifle without telling anyone. If you reload make sure you find out what primers you will need. Also new load development for rounds based on the small primer type should be a priority. Boo Hornady, for not telling anyone before or after the swap.
2018 Price: $300 2024 Price: $525
Yep.. inflation sucks.
Bear creek is not repeatable sub MOA. Ive experience with 8 of their guns. All 8 were massive failures. Theyre only good for a few years if youre going to shoot 10 rounds once a year.
I also find it funny that both of the generics appear to have better performance... This is a disservice to the taxpayers that purchase the $4000 NGAL because someone had a congressman's )!(K in their mouth...
So bottom line the FDA should not be protecting L3 thru regulations? Thank god SCOUTS struck down chevron deference. This means companies have to actually produce good products and not stand on government protection...
Always good and informative
A Glock 20 does just as much damage as this and with lower recoil. And it shoots 4 calibers.❤❤❤❤
Cancel your UA-cam premium accounts and email then saying why! Already have myself...
I run the Aems because it the only one i don't see a million dots. I have looked thru everything.
It’s a nice little optic
UA-cam, your policy will cause a mass loss of viewers including me!
Wonder if an anti reflective device might help with the light emission at night.
Yeah have been a cool extra data point to test.
1:40 geez… That would mean Forgotten Weapons’ mechanics of the various guns, would also get flagged…
Yep, a number of ways this will slowly kill channels
Impatiently awaiting aems max, hope it keeps good nv abortion with that nice fat window
Came from Reddit, Great video. Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks for taking the time to watch. I appreciate you
Lifesaver. Have taken my shield plus down many, many times, but never had that lever issue until tonight.
No comp m4/m5 :(
Didn’t have unlimited budget and didn’t want to make it a longer video than necessary. Maybe in the future!
Maybe we should regain control of our media. We should not be permitting media to be an oppressive force. And bring newspapers back too!
Welp I guess if I'm using a T2 at night, they're going to know about it as it's a beacon
100%, I kept seeing flashes at work and thought some idiot had his heart monitor on his garmin watch still enabled. Nope, just a t2...scary.
Excellent video as always. Great info, and very good editing. We can all tell you take some time to do it up right, and we appreciate it.
I appreciate you taking the time to watch, and am glad you enjoy my videos. I have many more in the works, just trying to find the time to get them all edited and uploaded!
I have an Eotech XPS3-0 on my 11.5" AR and a Holosun AEMS green on my Tavor X95, to be honest I like the AEMS more now as it is clearer and I find green much easier to pickup than red in sunlight.
The AEMS is a great optic.
Great review! 👍 I'm interested in this but what about holster fit?
It fits in most holsters made for surefire XVL2s. I have a follow up video the the GL4 I recommend you watch.
I ran a duty RDS and it must have been even worse than the T2. Ended up upgrading to the EXPS mostly for my astigmatism though
I don’t think you can go wrong with the EXPS, I just want to see eotech innovate a little more. They seem somewhat complacent, but then again if it’s not broken don’t fix it
Nice comparison, thanks for making the video.
Thanks for taking the time to watch
What is the best budget IR Light/laser in your opinion ? Budget under 1000$
for rifle
Not too many in this range, holosun makes good lasers for under 1k, but their illuminators aren’t very strong. Hoping the IRIS solves this
It's getting clearer and clearer You Tube expect it's content to be only what they want and provided for nearly free.
Great job on the video... Holosun continues to impress
They make some solid gear
Camera setup is insane!
She’s thick in all the right ways.
Great comparison. Romeo 8t and 4t pro have become my favorite NV optics. My only complaint on the video is I wish you took a few seconds of just looking through the optics statically with NV. I understand you wanted to show the parallax but it makes it hard to compare the raw light transmission performance
The reason for moment is to not risk damaging the tube more so than parallax. It’s very hard to judge the brightness the tube is being exposed to through the camera rig, and I don’t want to risk damage. I’ll try to slow the moment down some if I revisit this kind of video.
@@4MRRanch that's fair. Even just using a screen shot to get a still image would be great. You could also use a still from all the different optics so we can compare them directly against each other in one image
Cool test. Couple of things if you want to do this a little more fairly in the future- Get a broadband light source (tungsten halogen lamp with the ir filter removed). Get a VIS-NIR Spectrometer instead of a light meter and measure power at useful night vision wavelengths (808nm, 835nm, 850nm, 940nm ETC-this will test how effective the light transmission is with AR coatings). 3d print baffled tube apertures that match the objective window diameter of the aimpoint t2 for all the optics. Even your baseline without an optic should have a baffled tube aperture in front of the spectrometer. If you don’t want to shell out a lot for a spectrometer try getting a calibrated laser power meter and measure specific wavelength power. If you do get an LPM, get an integrating sphere for more accurate measurements and a fixed aperture.
I considered using my laser power meter and a laser but the largest concern was the different lens coatings bouncing back different levels various wavelengths of light. My test is by no means perfect or the most scientific approach, but was my best attempt to quantify performance with the limited tools on hand.
Just bought a T2 for my NV gun. Probably going to try a aems now too based on this video.
I really like the AEMS. Where it kind of falls short is use with magnifiers behind it, it’s not a very sharp reticle and I believe it’s due to the slight magnification the optic has. If on a rig you don’t need a magnifier on, it’s fantastic
@@4MRRanchinteresting I haven’t experienced that with my AEMS. Have you tried it with just the dot? This was one point you didn’t mention but I think is worth bringing up. A dot looks much better under night vision passive aiming. Obscures less of the target and less light pollution. A small dot like 1 moa is even better. This is where the t2, sig and Aems have a distinct advantage in being able to run a dot only. The sig and Aems have the advantage of the circle dot for use during the day. I own every optic in this video and it pains me to say but the AEMS is the best “all around” in my opinion. Eotech pisses me off with shitty battery life. Aimpoint has only a dot and is expensive but otherwise a good optic. Sig is insanely heavy. Vortex is a good choice as well but for passive aiming I like the Aems a bit more
Include a Sig Romeo 4t next time. I’ll only cry a little if it was a poor choice.
That was on my radar, but limited budget and lack of response from sig hindered showing their units unfortunately
Wow that holosun did fantastic can't imagine what the bigger one is like
I wanted to try one, but took what I could get!
very nice video. Can you do a comparison of a t2 vs a comp m4? on paper they say they have the same light transmission but the m4 has a larger tube diameter so in theory it might have a slightly better transmission
The m4 is supposed to do a very good job. I don’t personally own one, but I can imagine the transparency per unit area is about the same, with the m4 simply having a larger cross section for light to travel through
I've owned both in the glass quality is very similar, for night vision the larger window on the comp m4 is very nice
That's good for Holosun, considering they are using the AEMS as the base for the DRS-NV and DRS-TH hypbrid optics. Now poke them and get them to release the DRS-TH. :)
I have briefly talked to them about the DRS-TH. I may eventually put a review together on one. I know they’re getting progress on it
Box optic supremacy
Basically lol
I use an aems core. And for a budget option it is really good. I'm not a fan of holographic and the T2 is good but the window is small and the body blocks a lot for me all right around where I want to see. The clarity with NV on the t2 and th eotech is better and that is helpful in forest stuff when you get a lot of splash and IR shadow. Any of these optics won't get you laughed at and will work. Beautiful video! I'm so impressed with your work.
@@sliderofelay I appreciate the kind words and for sharing your personal insights. Many more like this to come.
Love these reviews. Which IR lights, lasers and NVG to get can be expensive and confusing.
@@s0bedrag0n happy you enjoy my videos. I agree the world of NV is overwhelming at times, I’m still learning as I go, and figured I might as well share my experiences
I’ve always had a pretty good opinion of Bca PSA. Both are great for the price
It’s getting tough out here trying to create content not being one of the big 5 channels
@@360TacticalSolutions yep. Very discouraging, but I think that’s what they want
@@4MRRanch oh its 100% part of their plan. They just make it harder and harder to follow their rules and continue to afford to make this kind of content till you just give up. The other thing I feel is discouraging is the lack of support within the community. I saw Hickok45 do a couple videos recently talking about having to take down videos because of the new policy and then how they had spoken at length with their dedicated account manager and a handful of other channels and come up with a way to continue to make their content with support from their sponsors. Thats a big one right now is potentially getting your channel killed because you have a sponsor who sells any kind of 2A products. It sounds like Hickok and some of the top tier channels have worked out how to keep making their content without fear of channel strikes but who knows exactly what their game plan is. It really feels like there isn't a strong alliance within the community. Any one of the top channels could make a video giving advice and guidance to the rest of us but I guess at the end of the day it's every man for themself. The only way firearm content is safe is when we all make sure each other is safe on the platform and we all have followings that show YT that this content has value and is important to people that use their platform.
Maybe Elon Musk will buy YT
Just tell UA-cam, Go Woke??? Then Go Broke!!
Unfortunately they make plenty of money from woke channels and may not need 2A channels
I don’t think you read the policy yourself! Nothing about red dots. Accessories on how to make it automatic and ghost guns etc. put out true info bro.
That’s the latest update. There IS a list that specifically talks about optics as well.. instead of accusing me of not putting out true info perhaps read a little further..
