It's easy to make fun of IG Operators/"LARPers"/Airsoft, but at the end of the day, they still: help normalize NVG/2A, support companies that are making NVG, create demand that drives innovation and pushes prices down, and ultimately when SHTF it's that many more people with NV capability when there is an actual need for it.
Dude, I read the comment and then your name, FULL SEND. Hopefully that's how digital can be pushed to not suck and be affordable. Stay Safe and Stay Spicy! - Taylor
@@SpookyFow hahahaha yes that's true. But we're talking about soon-to-be-available $15k quads which for years were $40k-50k (and mostly off limits to civilians). Moreover, most people dipping their toe into the NVG market are getting $2K PVS14s or even cheaper Digital NV (recognizing that they aren't necessarily comparable). The ocean is wide and deep for NVG/Thermals, but once you're in, you're in.
And this ladies and gentlemen is how you don’t do an interview. You brought on an expert and then went ahead and did almost all of the talking, then you start explaining his area of expertise to him.
Last year, he kind of sat back and let people talk. This year, he's running his suck about everything he's learned. Dude, STFU and let people talk. We're watching the video to hear from them, not you. Augie at several points had this vibe like "umm... who's interviewing who, here?" Ask questions, don't pontificate, holy shit.
Looks like TNVC now has the ECOTI priced at $8,900 now (instead of the previous $9,500), so hopefully the new TAD will be a little bit less than the $6,500 quoted price.
What? Every CODI I've encountered on the second hand market is in the $3k ish range.. I know this because when I was first getting into the hobby I was torn between a CODI on a single tube, duales without a CODI, etc. Everyone kinda just toasted me, calling the CODI a gimmick. They were around $2800 to $3500 when I was considering one. Regardless I'm always happy to view innovation. Though I know we're right on the cusp of making analog obsolete, with digital being king. Once digital is comparable, pricing is going to plummet. It's an exciting era, and I can't wait until everyone is producing a comparable, affordable option. I suspect analog units will retain their value due to nostalgia, and price of creating, but I gurantee within 10 years digital tubes will be under $1500 per set. Could you imagine?! Hell look how cheap and Gucci Thermal had become! My ReapIr cost 10x that of a thermal hunting scope, and is nearly 10 years old now...
Is there anything better than the BREACH for scanning ? It doesn’t seem that impressive to me, it’s always refreshing image and identification range / image is not great.
@@mattg9971 MTM is listed usually around 3k and the iRay is 5k edit: The Breach is not worth 2k in my opinion, it’s battery life of about 90 min per CR123 and grainy image are no better than a $500 Leupold.
