I'm going to share a really crazy conundrum I was faced with as we prepared for launch. The price that we need to satisfy the margin rules is just too darn low for the quality and performance you get (compared to the big 3 European units). With optics, the quality sometimes equals the price...
We test to -30 C in the chamber (internal device temp). Cold soaked for 1hr. All functions confirmed.
We have seen various performance on batteries. If we get time one of these days, we'll do a brand/performance comparison. I think voltage drop is the killer.
I went and read through that thread. What i got out of it was the BR4 worked well. We use a really cool environmental testing chamber where we can program all of the exact parameters including time. We try to ensure that the electronics work at specified ranges with plenty of margin. The...
You don't have these issues with the BR4 if you use "Zero Angle" instead of Zero Range. Its phd level, so may require a little learning curve, but its perfect for dealing with zeroing conditions.
With Covid, the first 500 or so had to be assembled in China. Sorry. The regular production units are assembled in the Philippines. If you remember, the G7 line was USA made, but nobody liked the $1800 price tag that a USA unit will command, and they started buying sigs....
The BR4 has the temp sensor exposed under the top ventilation ports. If you swing it around like you would a kestrel, its nearly as responsive. The binos don't have a good spot to expose the bulb, so you will need to consider device temp. Fortunately, the manual temp override is very easy to...
That was my go to last year. They are both the best at what they do. I will never hunt that combo again. Way to slow when it comes to the shot process. Not only does the combined device save time, but target acquistion and range is superior to the monocular. FOV, steadyness, etc. As far as...
Please read my official statement. Here's the takeaways:
Delinquent sales tax: fake news (5 minutes to look it up)
Delinquent vendor payments: fake news
We stroked a cash payment to Wells Fargo today for nearly 3 million bucks! True story.
We tried to get fair treatment, and stood up for our...
