This video compares the original Wilcox 500 night vision mount to a counterfeit version. The instructor highlights significant differences in build quality, specifically focusing on the amount of play or wobble in the counterfeit mount. The original Wilcox 500 is shown to be much more robust and secure, making it a reliable choice for expensive night vision devices.

The Nocturn Industries Alpha Mount is a new helmet mount for night vision devices, designed to be significantly lighter than alternatives like the Wilcox G24. It offers common helmet mount features such as pan, tilt, and height adjustment, controlled via a button press and a force-to-overcome detent mechanism. While praised for its weight savings and build quality, a potential drawback is its two-handed operation for stowing and deploying the night vision, which may not suit users requiring rapid one-handed transitions.

This video highlights the significant drawbacks of older PVS14 mounting solutions, primarily their instability, lack of adjustability, and high stow position, which degrade the user experience. It advocates for modern mounts, such as the RJ Arm, that offer reduced wobble, adjustable height and distance, and a lower stow profile, leading to a vastly improved and more stable night vision operational capability.

This video compares a $50-$60 knockoff night vision mount to a genuine $500 Wilcox mount. The comparison focuses on the amount of play or 'wiggle' in the mount when attached to a helmet and when holding night vision devices. The knockoff mount exhibits significantly more play, audible wiggling, and has experienced screw retention issues, leading to a strong recommendation against its use with expensive night vision equipment.

This comprehensive guide breaks down the process of building a tactical helmet system, covering budget considerations, helmet types (bump vs. ballistic), and the crucial integration of accessories like EarPro, night vision mounts, strobes, and lights. It details compatibility between different rail systems (Opscore ARC, Team Wendy, M-LOK) and various accessory brands, emphasizing the importance of proper fit, retention, and weight distribution for optimal performance and comfort.

This video provides gear recommendations for preparedness and tactical applications, emphasizing quality over budget options. The instructor advises against cheap Chinese knock-offs like Chicom chest rigs and Condor gear, instead recommending specific brands and models for helmets, plate carriers, chest rigs, and other essential equipment. The focus is on durable, reliable gear suitable for serious use, whether for competition, home defense, or WROL scenarios.

This video provides a first look at several new pieces of tactical and outdoor gear. It covers the AGM StingIR thermal imager, highlighting its versatility as a monocular or clip-on optic for LPVOs. It also introduces the Noise Fighters PanoBridge M1 and AX4 mount, designed to enhance night vision setups. Finally, the Stone Glacier Chilkoot 15 down sleeping bag is presented as a durable and warm option for cold-weather outdoor activities.

This YouTube video from Basement Operator critically examines Amazon night vision mounts, advising viewers against purchasing them. The creator, Elliott Delp, also promotes his company's builds, discount codes, and merchandise, directing viewers to his website. The video touches on the importance of quality gear for outdoor and potentially defensive applications, though the focus is on the negative aspects of specific budget-friendly options.

This video differentiates between ballistic and bump helmets, detailing their purposes, construction, and accessory mounting capabilities. It emphasizes that ballistic helmets offer protection against projectiles and fragmentation, while bump helmets are primarily for impact protection from falls or minor strikes. The presenter highlights the importance of helmet covers for ballistic helmet longevity and camouflage, and discusses various accessories like lights, comms, and night vision mounts.

This review of the TacticalXmen Ratel FDK22 Level IIIA helmet by Mrgunsngear provides an objective assessment of its ballistic performance and features. While it successfully stops handgun rounds and some rifle rounds, significant backface deformation was noted with higher-powered calibers like the .460 S&W Magnum. The review highlights its budget-friendly price point ($399) and inclusion of accessories, but also points out drawbacks in sizing and potential play in the shroud mount compared to premium helmets.

This video provides a comprehensive review and ballistic test of a Level IIIA helmet from Ballistic Armor Co. The helmet features standard tactical attachments like arc rails and a night vision shroud, with removable and replaceable padding. The review includes live-fire testing against the helmet with 9mm, .44 Magnum (both FMJ and hollow point), and .223 Remington rounds, demonstrating its protective capabilities against handgun calibers while showing limitations against rifle rounds.

This guide details how to optimize the fit and function of helmets and plate carriers for improved comfort and performance. It covers adjusting helmet straps for accessory weight, strategic placement of gear to avoid interference with weapon manipulation, and proper sizing of plate carriers to ensure vital organ coverage and mobility. The instructor emphasizes the importance of quality gear and a secure fit to prevent injury and enhance operational effectiveness.
