optics planet shipping has sucked for years. thats why i go elsewhere. free 2 day shipping means nothing when it takes 3 or more to process an online order for stuff in stock. they are terrible.
Just a datapoint: BDU recently took about a month to ship me something they had in stock. I repeat it was in stock, they had hundreds of them, at no point was it out of stock. I finally called them after the first two weeks - they blamed it on one of their warehouses that is apparently really behind. Between that and never having most of their stuff in stock I cancelled my membership. Maybe a year after COVID-19 is over I'll revisit them. So I'll take 5 days or so from OpticsPlanet.
I remeber my active duty days we hated night Vision! Always a pain trying to return them into the armory. Clean, clean and more clean always games played by the Armour. And if you lose or damage anything you were in big trouble! Most the time we would pack them in plastic bags and try not to use them so we would not have to clean them or risk breaking them!
As an optic tech, the reason you clean them is so I don't have to and just be glad that you don't have to count all the SL-3 every month they come with a lot of small parts
I never even used the halo. Always had the helmet mount. I remember when I was about get out, I turned in all my SL3 gear and called it a day. Looked through all my stuff and I had a butt ton of mounts for them. I still remember rocking the 7B as a boot eating it when I sprint across a field. Good times.
You mentioned optics planet shipping so I feel like I should mention that I’ve placed two orders with optics planet recently. Both times I check the item status and it said in stock but after I had placed the order with the item “in stock” it suddenly went out of stock so my order couldn’t be fulfilled. Then an order I placed over three weeks ago and was charged for 10 days ago still hasn’t shipped. They used to be great but be weary of ordering now.
I say try to find a digital one but the downside for me at least is that you have to always have to have the ir illuminator on to see in the dart. If a camera is looking in your direction and can see that nm it will give away your position.I want the atn binox hd but they can’t make a realistic video using it . The videos are computer animated... the reviews are bad too
@@ReefMimic the best digital night vision is the sionyx camera for like $700. I hesitate to call it night vision because that’s not really what it is but it can do the job. Still not as good as a gen 3 unit but still fun for people not trying to spend a lot
@@himynameistim009 yep hopefully someone makes a purpose built digital night vision I’ve heard good things about those to but I want something better suited that I can mount on a helmet hopefully the technology gets better in a few years where that’s possible
I'm not denying people's disgruntled claims on Optics Planet or anything. It just strikes me as strange, since I have ordered from them many many times over the years and not once have had an issue with their customer service and shipping speed. I may jinx myself for saying something, but I love Optics Planet, as of past & present.
So that’s a cool optic, however that skull crusher and mount what is that made of? Plastic? It looks flimsy like airlift gear. How do you think the mount and head gear will hold up?
Trybe defense will not get a order from me till i get my AR15 upper that i order in May , understand it's the time's but there still selling that upper,that you my not get.!!!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Cancel and order from ADM or BCM they ship even to commiefornia. Just gotta acknowledge prop 65 in your order. Took 2-3wks to get my ADM 223/556 and 300 B.O. complete uppers
I had no idea you could order stuff with it not being in stock. Makes sense why I got a safety selector I ordered in February last week. I’ll be checking availability in the future
I don't blame them. CA has made it extremely difficult for businesses. If I ran a business I wouldn't ship to there either. If a state wants to make oppressive laws then they can stand alone.
I just went to op website to order one for me but I got confused selecting right one. If anyone tried to order, please tell me what is the difference between "hand selected" and "none" in special features option?
Hand selected generally means a higher SNR rating and fewer blems in the screen. For “none” it’s going to be the standard IIT or Pinnacle tube (depending on the generation your buying)
My experience is that Opticsplanet needs to start using other carriers. DHL hands off to USPS which is where I think the problems arise. If they just used UPS or FedEx I think, in my opinion. Their shipping could be better.
Hate to say it but don't buy anything from opticsplanet, I ordered 2 items 2 separate orders two weeks apart on in stock items first order over a thousand dollars and paid to overnight the order and they keep giving me the run around and saying it's the shipping department and now a one to five day shipping has been a month and still haven't told me why my other two weeks later has shipped but the expensive order has been stalled. Seriously loosing any confidence in them at all and never had this experience thru primary arms or aim surplus. Just wanted to let you know
I’m never in a rush for my stuff anyways so the wait doesn’t bother me. I just got my holosun 510c today ahead of schedule and it’s still in the box. 📦
On your Optics Planet "BS". Its doesn't matter if it says its in stock or not. I ordered a throw lever for my 1-6 Primary Arms scope and it took almost 3 months to get a notification that it shipped. For a throw lever! I wont be shopping with them anymore and thats a shame because I bought the scope, plus A Romeo/Juliet combo from them as well which took almost 2 months in stock.
Everyone is backlogged and deserve a chance to make things right, but my experience with all the gun retailers has been delays, delays, delays. Sometimes it's the USPS though. Rock and hard spot! I did get a Wraith form Optics Planet and it showed up on time. I like it and it works pretty good for an alternative NV scope, but also for day scope. For less than $500, I'm very happy.
I order plenty from Optics Planet and have never had an issue. I am always surprised how quickly I receive my items. I just ordered a DBAL i2 with illuminator and received it in the same week. It was sold out everywhere else.
@the daily shooter. TNV/MOD3 BRAVO MODULAR GOGGLE (AB NIGHT VISION) - L3HARRIS (UF WP OR TF GP) is what im looking at i can get green for 7k. or unflimed white for 9.4k. do you think i should go for this over other dual tube systems
It depends on how you’re going to use your nods and the features you want. Are you going to be taking them off the bino bridge to run them as independent monoculars often? Or are you going to keep them in the binocular configuration the majority of the time you’re using them?
Check out the reviews of the IRAY MH25 thermal for $3500. it looks just as clear if not better than any night vision unit out there. although your L3 white phosphorus FILMLESS gen 3 tube is hard to beat for NIGHT VISION.
"Sniper scopes" are banned in CA, but that's defined as magnified and weapon mounted night vision. All other forms of night vision are perfectly legal in CA.
Prices range from $2,600 to around $3,100. Not cheap but only about a 3rd or less than other nvg optics.

gsflix1 optics planet, for anyone wondering where to shop.
For each tube or for a set of 2?
Edit:nvm

They keep pushing availability back. They need to stop selling stuff they don’t actually have on hand.
Seems like they’re just expanding their operating capital
That's why I stopped ordering from them myself.
Been waiting since march 2020 for ammo!
Or say they dont have on location
U think thats bad i bought a scope from them in late September and it wont ship until mid January 2023
$2,600 to $3,100, which is, oddly enough, the same price as 4 boxes of 9MM defense ammo.
😂

Tell me about, we had one of Gun mounts on the ship drop a set over the side of the ship.

Optic planet sucks . You have great videos very educational. Thank you
Optics Planet is the worst place to buy anything.
Cheaper Than Dirt has entered the chat...
I'm hearing lots of chatter that optics planet won't ship AR parts to ca.
Probably because of the strict state laws
Joseph Deliz the parts are legal by themselves....
The cap with pin hole is for training during the day. Sunlight will damage the tube in NVGs.
Night vision is a great tool but very expensive
I'm the night...i do need one
B able 2 sea one's self
@@lakepostell6912 yeah I wish I could
Wish might vision wasn’t so expensive looks like a lot of fun
It’s the most fun

Use lithium batteries, they resist leaks and corrosion better
There shipping sucks I live about 35 minutes from there facility and it takes them at least a week to ship something to me if not longer.
Must be the camera because that picture sucks!
WHO can afford that???
There are shooters that can afford much more lol
That’s nothing compared to the GPNVG 18 by eotech ranges from 30k to 50k
Evocati In America almost anything is possible if you work hard for it👍
Ppl buy $20-40K + cars all the time. So why not
It's an investment. I built dual 14s with near grade 3 tubes 2 years ago total cost of 1700 minus PDM mount. Today worth twice as that.
Gen 3’s are always pricey

F*ck Cali and their unconstitutional laws
I hate optics planet they legit ripped me off before.
What's popping D.S. stay fit & just keep doing what you'll doing excellent weaponry advice!

I’m never in a rush for my stuff anyways so the wait doesn’t bother me. I just got my holosun 510c today ahead of schedule and it’s still in the box. 📦
You must have got mine. They changed my ship date from 9/17/20 to 2/2/21. Enjoy.
Find them on Amazon or EBay

Curious what your shipping lead time was on your order? Generally from the time you ordered your PVS14, to the time you got it? - Thanks
Can you use the mount it comes with to mount to a helmet?
Your hands are kind of shaky... Does that effect your shooting?
can you use a rechargeable aa 1.2volts?
Do you think you would be able to kayak wearing a pvs14?

Why not?

Elijah Decker so mount it’s on a helmet
Not true. In fact, one of the largest retailers in night vision is located in California.
I’ve ordered this same one but in green. That was 3 weeks ago. Wish I could’ve used your code
Hey Night Shift. When did you order? I’ve been waiting over three weeks as well ....
what country is it made
The day light cap is for training during the day which is a thing lol training at night isn’t a thing a lot of people can do
What is your optics planet discount code?
really dude? $3200 you call that affordable?????
Rudy Ruiz ppl pay 20k plus for cars. So why not 😁
Was this free to you?
Very nice!
Give away ?🤞🏼
bump
I have never had anything but a top notch experience dealing with Optics Planet. I don't know why some people are critical of them.
My experience has been mixed. Some items shipped pretty quickly, some not. Hit or miss.
$3000 for a gen 3 WP is a great price.
Thanks
How about range and distance?
