      Only in the looks department, otherwise the sacrifice the precision, reliability, tolerance and efficiency of a real eotech.
      You could afford to get an optic worth every dollar you’re shelling out, or you can spend all the money on a fake eotech that’s only real job is to look close enough like one to cheat you out of your money

    Thanks for making this video. I wish I knew all this 2 years ago, when the one I bought, yep, ended up being a clone. You live, you learn. But, all is not lost, I bought a REAL EOTech from PSA when they were on sale, and demoted the clone to my .22lr rifle, since that recoil won't kill it, and I can still train affordably with a similar set up. But, the real EOTech 512 sits atop my Colt now, so all is good. I am really surprised at the number of gun items cloned. Optics, lights, flip up sights, stocks, etc. It's crazy.

      ​Not true. I've fired over 3000 RDS from one of my fakes and attended 2, 4 day shooting classes. No problems. The new ones that come with the magnifier set are flawless and eotechs knows it. That's why they have put out 10 of these videos trying to discourage you from buying . They know if you do , you'll be sold and never turn back to the real ones. There is one video on RUclips that the guy removed the screws to make it look like it failed. I will post a video soon showing how tough and reliable the new ones are. It used to Chinese shit but they have stepped up their game starting about October 2023. Seriously these new ones are flawless.​@@docreggiefirefox4811

    As for people wanting to buy a clone for their airsoft or .22, take it as a compliment. Yeah, they're only as good as a Chinese made red dot, but for a fun red dot that looks as cool as the real one, well, you probably aren't losing any market share..

    A lot of the clones are being bought becuase the Airsoft community for them is HUGE. EOTECH if you want to prevent these clones, then produce a "clone" yourselves specifically for airsofters. Just make sure its engraved on the side of the device. And charge the same amount that china is charging for them. Hell you can probably call them up and buy them directly from them. That if not more than anything else, would buy you a shit load of respect and loyalty even more than you already have. And you guys would be hailed as the innovators who beat the chinese cloners.

      @@Theyoufeelmemmmm idk if I believe that, I mean obviously they have an okay margin that’s something you are afforded when you win mil/le contracts cuz people want the duty grade shit. But as far as holographic sights go they’re pretty much the only one besides the Huey and that’s not nearly as ubiquitous, that’s making holographic sights, also they pride themselves on precision and quality assurance and repeatability enough that I’d trust em if they told me is what ends up costing the most, these sights aren’t nearly as simple or robust as led dots can be for as cheap. I only own one eotech btw and as far as a sight goes it’s not really even that cool for me but I like the product it speaks for itself. Plus no matter how tf broke I am I still like the exclusivity and quality that you get when you purchase something expensive that’s also duty grade. If everyone wasn’t so cheap about everything, and so ready to buy a trash version of a product cuz it “looks the same” and only costs a 10th as much. And actually took pride in what they owned a little more all of our stuff in our daily lives wouldn’t be so borderline disposable and planned to be obsolete quickly. And we could have more unique stuff I think anyways, bc people who actually want to come to market with a quality original (insert item here) will be able to put the money in to produce it. Instead of everyone just buying the same shit from china and rebranding it as something different or putting the led in 10 different aluminum housings for example and then letting 10 companies come to market with 10 original red dots that we don’t find out are all the exact same shit until we own one or two lol

    He is correct when it comes to electronic eotechs. Purely mechanical ones like magnifiers are much harder to spot. As a matter of fact for shts and giggles I bought a g43 magnifier clone to compare to me eotech and man is it good. I mean really good. Nothing on it to make you think it’s a knock off other than where there is a QR code on the eotech, the clone is using a standard eotech logo in its place. I tested them both by throwing them, putting them in my pool, seeing if they hold zero and a bunch of other things and you seriously cannot tell the difference. If you notice on eotech stuff it says assembled in America which makes me think they get the parts from overseas and I think this clone is using genuine eotech parts straight from the same factory in china. Sometimes you get lucky with a good clone but for the most part the more advanced it is the more likely it is to be no good, especially when it’s something your depending your life on.

    Just received a fake EXPS2 from Amazon for $600. What’s also peculiar is that the Amazon store appears to be an official EOTech store somehow. Regardless, mine had several of these tell-tale counterfeit clues: red and green selector, visible LED projector, “for law enforcement uses” inscription. Also, brightness was not adjustable (up and down buttons did nothing) and there was an “NV” button that’s only supposed to appear on the EXPS3 (night vision model). That button toggled the color between red and green. Also, the reticle was not what it was supposed to be. Luckily, Amazon has a great return policy. I just went ahead and bought another one from Primary Arms.

Looks like it's formed by thousands of small dots. Im guessing that's the laser being shaped into the image you see. No glasses, it's the general shape, but it's a fuzzy mess. And my eyes test 20/30, so not awful. The astigmatism turns it into what you describe.

      That's why they are doing these videos. They know the fakes are almost as good and they are going everything they can to stop you from spending $100 and spend $800 with them instead because they know when you do, you'll never buy another real one again.

There's real benefits to actual holographic sights, and I imagine when China figures those out, things are gonna get crazy.@@realtyrocks1969

    Marked as "for law enforcement/military use"
    No Made in China markings but not marked as made in USA.
    Sure look like EOTech.

    Burned out on the insane cost of anything to do with this market, I bought a clone. It's trash. I'll be sending it back. I also won't be buying an eotech. When attachments cost more than all but top tier brand guns, it's hard to justify. One thing about this optic I will say though, it does require more tech than a $250 adjustable stock(lol). Prices in this market are stupid. What do I know though, 3d print a couple of prototype stocks with a unique feature, give it to influencers, mass print in China, assemble in America, and sell your own $25 piece of plastic for $250+ a few 1000's of times and profit!

    You keep saying they won't hold zero...but I have several clones that do. No they don't have non-reflective glass but I'm never going to be in a situation where that's important. Yes my 552 is a better sight, but not +$600 better. Instead of saying "they won't work" I feel like you guys would make more headway, and more supporters, if you'd just compete with them. Make a $100~200 sight suitable for bench shooters and it'd sell great.

    This yahoo is cracking out videos trying to discourage you from buying the clones. Fact is I've tested the recent one and they are WORRIED because it's great. Yes, it's not a holographic, it's a red dot but the new ones work great, are tough, hold zero and are accurate. I bought 4 sets of these with the magnifier and paid $100 shipped. It's obvious they are worried about the Secret getting out. I own a few real ones and never again will I buy the real one. These also have 2 colors which these turds still can't do. These guys are probably shaking in their boots. If the Chinese keep going at this rate the next one will be better than the real one.

    Though…. Some of those features may be a good idea to integrate into the EOTECH product line . Additionally, there’s other ways to ensure clones are harder to make . Have you looked into aerated aluminum ( aluminum foam ). Cost isn’t that much more. Machining is just as smooth- but, it is lighter- and more resistant to impact than aluminum. Prettier sure you could even have castings made to lower Cnc time .

    • @humorss

      @realtyrocks1969 10 месяцев назад

      ​​@@TheAceTroubleshooter you're so wrong. Aluminum is surprisingly cheap and the plastic parts are made same way. The new eotechs clones use a red dot system, not a holographic but the shell is 100% indistinguishable from the real. I've extensively tested the new one that comes with a magnifier and it's flawless. I have several thousand rounds through one that I used to attend 2 different shooting classes. Kept zero after running and shooting from prone etc. Even survived one drop. If course I didn't torture test it but I wouldn't do that to a real one either. What I do know is they hold zero and are accurate, bright, and have 2 colors which the real ones only have 1 color. I would trust my life to the new versions, absolutely. There is a reason EOTECH has put out about 10 videos recently talking about clones. They know the Chinese have stepped up their game and they are extremely worried. They know that if you try the new clones you won't turn back to a real one and the word is spreading fast.
