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 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.

    • @YAGERMFG
      @YAGERMFG Před 10 měsíci

      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.

      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.

      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.

    @destroyerofgear Před rokem

    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.
