    Armasight Alternate Battery

    Brilliant minds, clever humor AND the ability to red mist a pumpkin at 200yds in the black of night, you guys are awesome:).

    Armasight Alternate Battery

    I admire your ability to design/create that custom cable, myself I decided to pay UNV for their custom single cable (8 pin connector to mini RCA pin) for video signal. I presume you had to create that custom cable because the Anker pack you have ONLY puts out 5V. The question I still need...

    Armasight Alternate Battery

    Looking forward to your finished product results. I'd really need to end up with a Y cable as I need to drive both the Zeus and a UNV MDVR.

    Armasight Alternate Battery

    Totally understand about the FLIR transition but I'm just trying to get clarification if the battery pack I linked in my post will run a standard Zeus (using the multi voltage port) without damage?

    Armasight Alternate Battery

    Todd, can you please link me to the new Armasight (FLIR) and the UNV Battery packs that will work in conjunction with the UNV MDVR that you referenced. I have spoken to the guys at UNV this winter about the Anker battery pack they were selling (Powercore) and he actually tried to power up a Zeus...

    Deciding on a thermal scope

    JPK is right on the UNV external battery kits if you go with an IR Defense scope. If you go with Armasight, be prepared to either hunt all night uninterruped OR record your kills on video (as I told you on the other forum). I spoke to both Cliff at Third Coast and Tyler again at UNV and there's...

    Deciding on a thermal scope

    I can tell you that in weather under 25deg the Armasight's eat batteries like a fat kid on a Snickers bar. The conundrum I'm is is I already have the UNV MDVR which does a great job however I'm screwed as to using an external battery pack at the same time. To add insult to injury, Armasight in...

    First time thermal owner

    Haha, I know what you mean on the back and forth because once say a coyote is spotted and on the rifle it goes I'll have to rely on the shooter (AKD Dad) to narrate as to what it's doing in response to the electronic call or lip squeaks etc... My only other option is to get the recorder with a...

    First time thermal owner

    I just returned to this thread and found that my last post is waiting for moderator approval, now I don't know if it was because of a link I used to the battery pack (to the mfg not a retailer) or what but I was referencing an Anker PowerCore 10000 rechargeable battery pack and using a custom...

    Thanks, good times for sure. As for the username, 68forums perhaps?

    First time thermal owner

    Thanks all, I appreciate the feedback and forum welcome. Yes, a thermal scanner is definitely in order or MAYBE a Predator for a scanner and a backup scope since even a Pulsar with the OLED screen (needed for cold weather) is in that ballpark for pricing. More research is in order for sure and...

    So, after much research and video watching my Dad and I jumped on the thermal train. Based on the terrain and distances we'll typically hunt, we chose the Armasight Zeus 640 2-16x42 (30hz). I used to think our suppressors were the crack of the firearms world (and they are) but thermal is right...
