NO BATTERY RED DOT: Holosun's Solar-Powered SCRS 

What I like most about tfbtv's shot show 2023 interviews with Louis from Holosun, is how knowledgeable Louis is. He KNOWS his products inside and out, front to back. I love how Holosun didn't hire "eye candy" to debut their new products, they sent the subject matter expert. Bravo Holosun.

These guys are just doing the gun community a huge favor in revolutionizing optics and driving competition in the market. The prices are beyond fair, the quality is immaculate, and it’s just a solid system. I’m all in.

Holosun is absolutely killing it.

Holosun shows up to Shot Show every year well prepared with a mess of new stuff. It's good to see so many well priced options on the market.

So well under $500 and I get a magic sight that always works and is always the right brightness, lasts for years and years if it is in a cave, but if even a flashlight is near by, it lasts even longer...defiantly magic.

I several holosun optics and they've all been excellent! Trijicon , aimpoint , eotech all make optics for uncle sugar dollars. All federal and state budgets so they know they can charge whatever they want. Holosun is the optics company for the everyday Americans who want quality for a ethical price.

I love my Holosuns, but we'll have to let time tell us how these "non-end user serviceable" batteries do.

Holosun out here just slaying the optics game as of late. Recently got my hands on an EPS carry and I love it, but now I'm trying to find an excuse to pick up one of these and put it on something else.

Even if this under delivers the tech is something to be excited for. Kinda reminds me of the calculators I used in HS. As long as they had light they would stay on.

This with the ACSS reticle would be fucking amazing.

I have several of the solar holosun options that I love but I like the idea of a capacitor that can use sunlight. I can't let go of the idea of self reliance. I want to be able change the battery myself. Don't like the idea of a unit I can't service myself

Think I have about 10 Holosun products at this point. They have all been stellar!

Its funny seeing so many people complain about not being able to service or replace a battery. ITS NOT a battery, its a power cell, how many of you even know what that is, let alone how to repair one?? People just love to complain... even when they are talking out of their ass and have no clue what they are actually complaining about.

Surprised they didn't talk much about the form factor. Looks to be even more compact than a T2. Also, the mounting system looks to be a 509t pattern?

Holosun needs to make an LPVO !

Love my scs mos ,but would like to hear about the competition dot also keep up the good work tfb and holosun

I love how when he talks about the auto brightness in the sight, the auto brightness of their camera starts flickering

this sight sounds more and more like it would be more at home on an imperial guardsman's lasrifle than my pos home defense ar.....ill be getting one of these

Holosun always leading the innovation.

Absolutely LOVE Holosun from the start buuut... hope the price IS $300ish OR less because they've been getting up there lately!

I’ll be impressed when it’s actually in stock somewhere. I’ve been on a wait list for about 4 months for the EPS which is supposedly already “out”. Haven’t seen a sign of them anywhere other than the ones that got sent to RU-vidrs

Overall an interesting unit. The non serviceability is kinda off putting, who knows maybe it'll last the distance. Do like my hs515cm and my 407s

This SCS system has literally made me a Holosun fan. I now will be shopping holosun when brainstorming a build.

give us a no battery 1x prism

I have this redot on my 11.5" Aero and so far it's been solid. No complaints so far. Also, sad no short shorts on James. Fuck the weather

Holosun just gets it. They don't do many things, but they absolutely crush it in their own arena(s). It's like 5 Guys, but for tasty optics instead. 😁

Can we just go ahead and say it... Holosun officially is the best all around (price, variety, dependability and performance) optics manufacturer... period.

They really need to provide a sound isolated booth for these outdoor interviews. Can’t hear what anyone is saying over the shots in the background.

I love holosun. I love the green dot and their devices. Cant beat them for the money!!!

This is actually HUGE. Any sighting sys that can last thru apoc is key. I thought prisms were the future but this may be. Imagine an etched reticle like this... whoa.

I have 3 Holosun optics. I’m sure I’ll end up with several more over the years. With constant innovation, hopefully the American companies will get a clue.

And this ladies and gents is why Holosun is the best in the game genuine innovation at an actually affordable price point. Kudos.

After 3 months of delivery delays, I canceled optics planet order. I don’t think these are actually in the wild but really looking forward to running them.

This is what I'm here for finally someone did a vid on it thank you brother !!!!! 🙏

I hope it’s as good as they say it is, from what I’ve heard their previous solar models were barely bright enough.

Hopefully the PDP one hits the market soon

I'm watching this video and spilt my God damn beer all over my subway sandwich, Fack!! But love the content, totally worth it for you James :)

Is a video on the 507 COMP coming?

I can't wait for their wind-powered model...

Very disappointed that there’s no low mount option. I got one for my mp5 but there’s no cheek weld that puts this in my vision

Sounds like cool tech. A plugless charger for the capacitor would be cool, like an Apple Watch. I’m curious to see how well the auto brightness works.

“So let’s talk about the optic.” “Sure! So this optic *BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG*

This is actually very neat stuff. Using the light to keep the optic on without taking battery feels like fiber optic without fiber optic.

I need 2. Holosun is definitely killing why doesn’t other brands have these features. It’s 2023 and it’s still some red dots don’t have auto off/shake awake

SCS everything!!!!

See the actual "preparing for the apocalypse and collapse of civilization" question is how well it works once the internal battery has exceeded its service life. Considering my IPhone SE battery was still technically functional 6 years later with daily use, I doubt this will be a problem for most people. Very cool having a forward-facing sensor to control brightness though, which I think might be a bigger deal innovation-wise than combining a solar cell and a li-ion battery.

I can not believe how far Holosun has come. I see this optic on Amazon for $299, and I’m jumping on one for my CMMG MK9. This can be better if they had it use the EPS Carry battery though, but it’s not a deal breaker.

Yep, this is the year I'm gonna get a holosun. Between this and the night vision red dot, I'm gonna be a customer

If I was the other red dot company, I would be worried!

Neat idea, but I'm out with no user replaceable batteries. Edit: you also didn't state what reticule... is it dot only or their donut+dot?

Why would they not make this T1/T2 compatible?

I was totally sold on this at last year's Shot Show when they showed the SCS on an HK VP9. I'm not sure why they promoted that model since it never became available, but it seems like a bad sign that they're making these for rifles now without also expanding the line for increased handgun compatibility.

I know that functionally those "anvil" style mounts are perfectly robust enough for the job, but my brain keeps telling me that if you flick it, it should vibrate like a spring door stop.

is there a low mount for this to mount to a pic rail so i can mount it to my hunting revolver?

WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT THE FACT THIS IS RUNNING AT 509t FOOTPRINT?! THIS 👏 CAN 👏 GO 👏 ON 👏 A 👏 FREAKIN’ 👏 HANDGUN! Am I the only one who sees this as enclosed emitter SRO?!

Dude the for the price!! Thats an awesome optic. Excited!

Anything new from Trijicon?

Very impressive interview by James and Luis. Appears to be a superb value product considering the feature set and price. Holosun knocked this one out of the park and into the next block.

Needs the ACSS reticle

I am sure its been talked about already. but just seen this popup. Video is ok. You left out weight, and did not show reticles or led colors. or any testing. Did the unit in his hand actually work or the one on the gun. Also is it proprietary mounts only or more support expected?

Very much in for this. Will make a better fit on my PCCs than the current 509T.

you could use vibration harvesting to power it if its consumption is low enough.

My question is how long till the battery kicks the bucket and bleeds everywhere inside the optic?

Love mine. Keep em coming Holosun!!!!

I'm going to buy that - will be my fifth holosun.

Holosun. Has the most innovative pistol optics and micro reddots on the market.

Maybe it's my hearing loss but I can't understand half of what is being said due to the gunfire in the background.

Damn, this or the SLX 1x prism? 🤔

Excellent. For sure purchasing one

Facinating technology a real advancement

entire sporting rifles market to look at but currently only way to mimic 1" low ring scope height and eye alignment is with a 407c/507c with rail mount on low weaver/pic typical 1-3 slot or rails bases that come on rifles, I have 3 set up this way, would love to move to the solar charging capacitor enclosed set up but looking at measurements this scrs would require custom low profile bases that will directly screw down to the receivers of sporting rifles/leverguns in order to keep cheek/eye alignments proper...so build the 407c/507c with this tech and enclose them and I'll stop bitching on RU-vid about them and keep pimping holosun options on the hunting forums for all of us loving this tech and missing the iron sights options but also aging eyes and other benefits make these battery free red dots awesome for sporting applications, keep em coming holosun, this tech will hopefully end up in scope reticles at some point, love my trijicon accupoints on my scoped sporting rifles but this tech would be smaller and lighter yet to illuminate that center dot, the future is bright, now need custom bases for sporting rifles, who's gonna jump in that game so we can use scrs? ;)

Ok I need this thing..take my money now!!!

What jacket is James wearing? Looks nice

Much green, very environment.

I like watching aimpoint eotech and trijicon sweat everytime James interviews a holosun rep

@TFBTV SHOW TIME. ARE THEY MAKING NEW LASERS? LIKE LE420? Hope so.

This is awesome and I'm definitely getting one

Oops. Too late. Already got my AEMS Green and 507c Green last year. Done for a couple decades 😂

I remember another of ppl hated holoson for some reasons🤔. I never had a problem with any of mine

Wish you'd guys learn to increase the audio before uploading the video. Audio is always super quiet.

I think they need to make one that charges off solar and motion. They make rechargeable coin batteries the same size as a 2032.

Maybe I missed it, but is it just a dot or does it come with the circle dot reticle?

I will forever be skeptical to buy an optic that runs on a battery that I can’t change as an individual.

I have mixed feelings about this specific optic. Love holosun but honestly I think I'd rather just swap a battery every yr like I do now. But I swear if they ever decided to make an lpvo... It would be over. Can't wait to see the thermal optic in person

They seem to be cutting edge innovation and I wonder why Aim point is lagging a bit on the technology side.

James, Can you do another interview where we can actually hear what he says?

Is this T1 T2 mount compatible?

The intro is fucking bonkers 😎✌️

James, you need to throw the mic out some more on your videos.

What mounting pattern is this?

What mount is that in the thumbnail?

Does it have shake and awake?

When's it available

Would this be rated for shotgun?

It's got a battery just not a replaceable battery

Great idea! Why is the height over bore a country mile?

Like all my Holosuns I will order at least 3

Etched reticle?

I really like the form factor it wound be cool on a pistol.

Guns are going full circle and photosynthesizing. The cyborg apocalypse is near lmao
