- The KIJI K1-10 and Steiner OTAL-C is a great combo with a TNVC/Unity Tactical TAPS SYNC!
KIJI K1 Breakdown by B.E. Meyers Video: • Components & Breakdown...
Once you get over the strangeness of putting two scout lights on your gun, this looks like a really neat setup.
Then you get a Dual lead Modbutton Lite for the OTAL/KIJI and a standard Modbutton Lite for your vis light and you’re good to go 😏
This is a good option to save some $ or if someone already has an OTAL-C or something else IR pointer only.
Otherwise, if starting from the jump, I’d definitely recommend just going with the MAWL for the better form factor and slaved vis green laser
Just run one. Change the head out when the sun goes down.
Luna Optic elir unfiltered, otal c, and a tlr 7?
Guess who's back. I just smashed that like button before the video started because I know its gonna be good.
Lol thanks brother 🤙
Super happy I found this. Thank you.

If you want to know, which IR light is invisible, just take a white bucket and fill it with water.
Then shine different IR lights in it, while being in a dark room.
Observe with a unfiltered camera or image intensifier.
You will see the water turn into a dark soup when you have a invisible IR light.
For fun, stick your hand in and see it vanish.
The effect starts at about 880nm. It depends on the quality of the led though. Some have a rather wide spectrum and still emit in the visible.
So that test is better than going just by the numbers that are advertised.
The absorption spectrum of the water also applies to the eyeball, which is mostly water.
Great demo
great video, gave me the info I was looking for
🤙
Awesome content as usual Will. I bought the 3 degree one to go on my precision rig with my CNVD-LR. Very light weight and very powerful. Now I just have to find a place to shoot out to the grand in the dark. :)
Nice 👍 IMO the K1-3 is the way to go for the majority of guys. Thanks for the kind words brother 🤙
and i thought a pvs14 was expensive. thats some nice kit.
Good video as always brother
🤙
Great video! Scooped up a slightly salty otal-c & will be getting kiji 10 from TNVC soon. Setup is good for alternate for MAWL
Thanks! 🤙I recommend also watching the newest video to see the K1-3 vs the K1-10 differences
Good video man
🤙🏼
Hello. SERIOUSLY AWESOME INFORMATIVE EXCELLENT VIDEO!!! I was just wondering, would this setup be better on a sbr and would I only need those two, for say CQC/CQB
/home defense?? Thank you and thank you for your timely response
Thanks so much for your video. Question 1: Do you know if the duel modlite can work and provide a clean output for OTAL and Kijii ? I look at the Unity variant 3 which is laser/light and light. Does this switch have 3 leads or two leads? What I’m trying to accomplish is to have one button turn on the OTAL/Kijii and then a separate button for the modlite flash light. Having all three at one end may make it feel heavier? Don’t know. If possible, could you make a second part extended video to a set up for all three items or if you could recommend what is needed for the set up would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for the video! Would love to hear the approximate ranges you’d recommend the 10* vs the 3*
The K1-10 I’d say up 100-200 yards depending on ambient light levels. The K1-3 does 400+. IMO, the K1-3 is the overall better choice on a gun for most folks because it has the diffuser which changes it from a 3 degree divergence to 10 degree.
Your videos are fucking prime. I bought a set of tubes based on your comparisons. Thanks bro
Thanks brother sincerely appreciated 🤙
Same. His XLSH comparison video helped me.
Awesome video. I have the OTAL-C and the neutral density filter (FA05363) that it came with completely blocks the laser so no light comes out. Any idea what’s up with that?
Another great video. Your comparisons and reviews are the best out there! With this being a laser based illuminator, is there a danger of damaging your tubes or eyes if you were to get splash back from something reflective? I got a 10 to use as a helmet light and after watching the BEM video and their repeated laser safety warnings, I am wondering if it's a good idea to use this as a search/Admin light? I tested it out as a handheld and is a nice light. It was light rain/fog and the K1 - 10° was good out to about 65 yards. The 40° cover would be good as umbrella lighting inside.
Thanks 🙏
The risk of damage is similar to using an LED illuminator. It is the laser pointers that have the most risk. The warning they give applies the same to LED illuminators and is geared more towards safety while handling the device because since you’re not using NV you won’t see it shining into your eyes.
@@NITEWALKER-NIGHTVISION Thanks
I wonder how hard it would be to get that Steiner here in europe
Yo where is the panobridge with Flir breach video? But this was a great video too...
It’s on the list 😉 not sure how long I’ll have the KIJI so wanted to get’er done while I got it
Can you make a video of the programming and the different modes on the kiji, really thinking about picking one of these up just unsure of the modes.
BEM just put a vid out:

@@NITEWALKER-NIGHTVISION thank you sir
Hello. I was just wondering if you could use this during the day at all and would I be using the Kiji as a flashlight or would I need to put on a Modlite as well?? Thank you and thank you for your timely response
Could you tell me where you got the neutral density filter for your otal? That doesn’t look homemade
The KIJI is 3v so I’m pretty sure I can take a m600AA body (two AA=3v)and use the kiji head anyway you can confirm that?
This way the otal and KIJI use the same battery
I'm wondering how well would the KIJI-K1-03 do for a long range illumination with a clip on. Would it be good at distances well past 1 mile?
No. The K1-3 is good to about 800 yards
When you had the footage of the red glow between the Surefire and BE Meyers what was the approximate distance between the camera and units?
Arms length. I didn’t want my face in front of it so I just held the camera out in front
Great and beneficial content as always, I was wondering in your experience if you’d recommend a single tube with great specs (ie. L3 formless high specs) vs duals with low specs (ie. Rnvg with average green photonis tubes) if both are roughly the same 5k ishh price. I live in and am Leo in urban/suburban south Florida so there is usually plenty of ambient light around and that would be my primary application
Depends on how low spec the tubes are. For recreational use you can get away with not having the best tubes but if using on the job I recommend getting the best tubes possible because you want every edge possible since your ass is on the line 🙂
Apollo gear has dual tube (pretty decent white phosphor tubes) for about $5500.
Something I should have added - there is a misconception that if you live in the city that you don’t need better tubes. Some of the darkest conditions as a LEO you will encounter inside buildings and the longer you can go without using IR is best because in a pitch black environment a red flowing IR light can give your position away
@@NITEWALKER-NIGHTVISION ok thanks, so it sounds like the single tube with cleaner specs/ higher definition/better in lowlight and with shadows would prove to be me beneficial for now with my budget being what it is?
@@trevorr8834 thanks I’ll have to check those out. Do you have any experience with those tubes?
Can I achieve this with just the ir surefire head and the Steiner?
Yessir with the SF tail cap to accept the plug from the switch
Kiji k1-3 or the Luna elir-3 to pair with a laser on a rifle that won’t see hard use?
KIJI-3 no question. Cleaner illuminator plus diffuser cap and American instead of Russian
Apologies, would this setup be good for CQC/CQB/HD?? Thank you and thank you for your timely response
MAWL or other all in one laser and a separate white light is the way for legit work. You want white light
Hi, I was wondering, how do you attach the Kiji to a rail? Mine came with two screw holes, which I imagine will go onto some kind of rail adapter but I am not sure what to buy.
Thank you
These are lugs that are used on surefire mounts. Take a look at the arisaka mounts, Haley strategic, etc. An offset or cantilevered mount works best at 10-11 o’clock or 1-2 o’clock depending on your preference
@@NITEWALKER-NIGHTVISION Awesome, thank you for the help.
@@jh-lp7cg 🤙
Hello. I hope you will respond to this last message, but if you don’t my apologies for bothering you , but will the Modlite button work with the both Kiji and Steiner OTAL?? Thank you an thank you for your timely response
Yes, they have dual lead and single lead versions. You will need a surefire tailcap DS or UE for the KIJI
@@NITEWALKER-NIGHTVISION Thank you very much
Nice. Way to keep it simple! Meet ya at Shot Show?
Yessir I’ll be there. Look forward to it 👍
@@NITEWALKER-NIGHTVISION good deal man. See ya there
@@813todd 👍👍
How does this compare for price and performance to the MAWL?
MAWL is way better all around. This is a good option for less money. The KIJI-K1-3 however is better than the MAWL for clip on set up
Love it but if the KiJi is $656.00 and the Otal-C is $549.00 equalling approx $1500.00 what is the benefit over say closely priced DBAL-A3? Just trying to into NV and want to cry just once.
Because the illuminator of the KIJI blows the A3 illuminator out of the water. Check out the Garandthumb video on the MAWL and assume the same illuminator performance with the KIJI.
@@austin107481 I will see it now. Thanks a ton for the lead. As much as I see vids I’m still kinda confused and which route to go lol. With my income I just have one shot at this. 🙏🏻
@@prestonmarlowe2700 before I replied I was going to revisit the Perst 3 which was up till now my first choice but since you’re using it can you summarize the cons?
A3 illuminator is nowhere as good. I’d personally go with the KIJI-3 because of longer range and you can flip on the diffuser for more flood. If you want to buy once cry once get a MAWL. Seriously. It’s a great laser but the crying part is real because of its $$
@@NITEWALKER-NIGHTVISION indeed. Thanks. ...One more Q. In an urban/suburban environment perhaps a KIJI and a Holosun will do to save some cash or does that further predicate the need for a strong laser to pass through led or street/house lights? Also I just saw a vid on a new company with a vis/ir illum & láser for $900 but I digress.
Hey man, this is a little out of topic but since you have access to a ton of gear, may I ask which one of the lasers you've seen has the brightest vis laser in either red or green?
Civilian lasers like the MAWL C1+ they are all around 5mW so basically the same.
@@NITEWALKER-NIGHTVISION Gotcha. What about the full power lasers? Any difference between the Wilcox RAID-X, MAWL, or NGAL?
@@shootinbruin3614 Just the NGAL which is bright as hell at about 80mW.
@@NITEWALKER-NIGHTVISION thanks man!
Ok, so would the both be better than having the MAWL?? I only ask, because I believe that I had heard that the Kiji was better than the MAWL?? Thank you and thank you for your timely response
No, the MAWL is better
@@NITEWALKER-NIGHTVISION Oh ok, decision made. THANK YOU SO very much for responding to all of my questions!! I greatly appreciate all of your work and what you bring and have brought to CZcams!!!! People like you, really make it worth the while and come here to see and hear the professionals not just talk but seriously back up their words and actions!!!
