Good job covering the topic. I use tire wheel weights since they are flat & sectioned like a Hershey’s bar so you can adjust to your liking. And some spare batteries.
“They go ahead and send me Mohawks, after, after I go ahead and send them money; it’s a great relationship, love spending time with those guys.” I am dead. Hahahahahahahaha
I run a large powerbank on the back of my helmet, and if I just put a little magnet weight ontop of it, it's the perfect counter balance for my current PVS-14 setup.
I got the ops core counter weight, I like it since you can choose how many you want in there. Then I put the entire pouch in the Agilite pouch. Kind of a slick setup. I’m happy with it
With the battery pack and IR strobe, I get away with a few oz from a tire balance kit. Wrapped in gaffers tape and 3M hook loop to attach on the OP SF.
Makes sense. I have a team wendy bump with DTNVS’s. I feel like I need more weight on the back to properly balance but I feel that weight on my neck. You bring up a valid point about not being used wearing a helmet which I’m not. Guess it just takes getting used to. Thanks for the info, Jon
I use 9mm projectiles, it allows me to really dial in the balance since I'm using a bump. I put them in a ziplock baggie which goes inside my TW counterweight pouch. Ends up being a lot lighter than a ballistic due to being able to put all the weight on the helmet's point of greatest leverage(versus having all the weight directly on top of your head). But yeah if you just pick up a brand new bump and expect it to weigh that light fully kitted out and balanced you're gonna have a rude awakening.
Would the same be applied to digital night vision that is able to be mounted to a helmet or would that be too light to even be considered having counter weights?
