Vortex AMG UH-1 "Huey" Gen 2 Review
zhlédnutí 11KPřed 2 lety
Some thoughts about the Vortex AMG UH-1 Gen 2 "Huey" holographic sight. Honestly, I am not a huge fan. The one benefit over EOTech might be reliability (just based on my experience with EOTech vs with Vortex in the past), but the light transmission is worse and the brightness regulation on the reticle is not good. I was planning on using this on a night vision setup, but the light transmission ...

I just picked this up for $420. Appreciate your honest review. For the price along with the micro 3x for $199, I couldn’t let the lifetime warranty go 😅
Just ordered for my SCAR L. Can't wait!
I wojld be scared for burns..
I believe the reason they choose to gate going from 4 to 5 would be so you don’t have negligent white light use. You have to intentionally switch them from one to the other. On larger devices this would usually be implemented with a safety screw, but size constraints made this the better option.
The weird thing is there *is* a safety screw hole in place there, but it doesn't matter if you take it out.
@@YAGERMFG interesting, what I was saying was simply a guess anyhow.
Thanks for the information. I almost brought one😅
So it’s it at exempt 😅
Interesting,but can this go on a pvs 14? . That's what I have a photonis echo to be exact
Yes, it can
Its a toy.
This was a great technical review!
I really want this but I’m not willing to lose the ability to run the tarsier eclipse
It’s a chunky unit. Granted it does do everything. Nice.
Can you fit it behind focus rings ?
Great review man. Thanks.
Love mine. It’s duty-grade for sure. Good, sound construction and reliability. The flickering isn’t something you notice when you’re experiencing an adrenaline dump... gotta be realistic in your review.
The flickering isn't just about being ugly and annoying (although it is) - it's about what it tells you about their electrical engineering (probably not good). If a competent electrical engineer had their say on this design, they would probably either use a much higher frequency PWM or a constant current regulator. The flickering suggests to me that there was either a poor design process or cut corners.
I have a gen 1 and love it.
Own the gen 2 UH-1 and love it. Unlike my prior EOTech that dimmed our due to a leak and was out of warranty, my Huey has a lifetime warranty that Vortex will repair or replace it with. Can’t go wrong with this holographic.
I would not recommend EOTechs due to their gas leak problems (I have killed several that way), and I would not recommend vortex for the reasons given in this video. Just stick with aimpoint if you want an RDS
So no c2. What about the c5?
If use the battery pack to shut off device then turn the scroll switch off u know the batt pack will be off and it won’t drain over time
The battery pack has electronics in it. It has significant parasitic drain even if not connected to the thermal imager.
@@YAGERMFG weird if I use the power button on mine it doesn’t drain at all when hooked up I figured it out cause it used to if I left the battery pack on even when device off maybe test out what I said in first comment
@@YAGERMFG I’ve had mine plugged in and all hooked up for almost a year now without touching it and it turns on and ran for hours use the power button on batt pack if u dnt shut the pack off it will drain mine used to till I figured it out
Why would anybody living in the states buy chinese hardware?
If you would like to buy me a $10k safran unit, I would be happy to do a review
In a realistic use situation, you will never notice the flickering of the reticle.
The flickering reticle is evidence that it's poorly made, which you will definitely notice if it breaks during a realistic use situation. Low frequency PWM = low quality electronics design.
@@YAGERMFG If that was the case, you would hear about that failing. As of right now, battery drain is the issue everyone complains about. Haven’t heard of the reticle dying.
Battery drain is related to the quality of electronics.
Your intimate knowledge of optic design and engineering won my sub bro. Very interesting stuff. Do you design optics or did you at some point?
I used to work in a research lab that did a bunch of optics work, but I'm also just a big time optics nerd
Dumb question. Are the lasers and Illuminator all co-aligned? IE If you zero the laser have you zeroed the IR illuminator too?
Yep!
But do you not see the projector at the center of the tube you applied it on? If not, why not?
Read through the comments - someone else asked the same. Short version is "depth of field"
No offense yet - chinese made - I do not trust the people we are seeing oppsing us economicly, medicinally, scientificly, nor militarily as viable from buying from No lack of respect that you do As long as you reserve the right to use it on them if they invade your (our homeland) But I will never buy outside of American made (to put vack again what I can into the American economy)
Where can you find this for 2000 dollars ?? I want 2 please !
I have a X400U-A-GN on my HK45CT I’d like to get 2 of these one in FDE for my Glock 19X and get it milled for a Trijicon SRO and one in Black with and milled for a black SRO for my USP Tactical 45 or 45CT and sell the X400 or use it on my Benelli M4.
your videos are so good (great comprehensive information) and the filming is exactly what i’m looking for (i.e. showing the product in great lighting without distraction).. love your quality, hope your channel grows in time to come.
Just ordered mine. Thank you for the information!
I absolutely love mine . I love the wide window as well it is soooo much wider than some Of my red dots and absolutely love the micro 3x as well. They are both light weight.
What Micro 3x are you refering to?
@@jerryshafer1688 there is only one micro 3 it’s made by vortex eotech has there brand and holosun has there’s
@@jerryshafer1688 so the g43 is made by eotech and hm3x is made by holosun vortex is the micro3x bud so that’s the one I’m referring to
This is probably the dumbest question ever, but what type of scopes do you recommend to use with this? Does the scope itself have to be a red dot, or have IR capability? Can you use a 1-8 LPVO?
Regardless your optic is completely separate from the laser/illuminator. You don't shoot your laser through your optic. You actively aim with the laser. If you want to shoot passively. Without a laser, You need an optic with night vision capabilities to shoot decently.
What has the optic to do with the laser?
I like the McDonald’s caps
They're my corporate sponsor
Would this work with a NVG10??
I'm not sure, but I would suggest spending the money to upgrade your monocular before buying thermals
@@YAGERMFG ok thanks
Why doesn't the projector block out the center of the NV view?
Objective lenses, either on a camera or on NVGs or elsewhere, effectively gather a separate copy of the image from every point on their surface. We're just blocking a few of those copies. If you take a small object and hold it directly in front of your pupil, you'll be able to see "around" it as well.
Subbed, thanks!
What batteries did you use?
What lens/filter do you use to go to black and white ?
I just set the camera to max white balance adjust. Could also do it in post as long as your camera has WB lock
They are not because it does not lock in.. just push connect and the are not the ninety degree connectors. So you can get hung up easier on branches and things like that
He said the bungies make it more balanced/ less tension.. will you get the thermal clip on for tgem?
He also said what out using the 60 degree that you can loose your twelve o'clock view..
Where do you get your sacrificial lenses. And there was a guy from the military he recommends the Wilcox extension mount..
If you could have these or PVS-31 alphas which would you get. I like the idea of having an expanded field of view but I also like factory built L3 and Eotech NVGs
Nice compact review! How is the battery pack holding up now? Have you tried different packs with it?
Not aware of any competing packs for this connector. No issues so far, besides the discharging.
@@YAGERMFG Thanks. So no trouble with moisture getting in?
The C series can run from either on board battery or the external battery pack. You can even remove the internal battery and use just the external battery to save weight. Very glad I got the C5 and not the CE5.
Quality review. I've owned mine for about 6 months and been using it a few times a week, everything you said is spot on. It fits its niche quite well though, which is providing instant detection while patrolling through areas with short sightlines. It sucks having to use a monocular when walking through the woods as you're constantly revealing new territory but never really seeing further than 100 yards. Once you get to those vantages is when you'd want to take a moment and scan the surroundings in a static position, which is where a handheld monocular is the proper tool. That means that if we consider the performance within the proper context of a head-mounted thermal, you aren't losing out on much compared to a CE5 or even an ECOTI. In wide open terrain maybe, but if you're expecting to detect stuff in the desert for example with a COTI/equivalent, you're gonna have a bad time.
Good point!
Dude, I have thoroughly enjoyed your reviews of the products I want to buy. Keep up the good work brother.
$2000 bit much
It’s cheap you broke goof
Sick McDonalds lenses
I always rep the golden arches
Where do I find it? They don’t sell it anywhere
Cold harbour supply
Personally, I found the Jerry C to be a pretty good value for what it is. Yes, there is some lag, but since the image is being projected onto the analog NV image, which has no lag, so long as I turn down the thermal's brightness, it doesn't hamper my ability to move in the dark.
Agreed, having the lag-free NV image helps significantly to deal with the latency of the Jerry
