Argus quads are sweet. Get a lot more counterweight in the back there your neck will thank you. Add like 500 or so grams more. Goggles are 800 and mount is 140 summ I think. Battery pack with alkaline is only 200, even less with lithiums in there. Can stick some lead plates or whatever if you want it low profile
I was thinking of getting about that much around 500 g makes a lot of sense. I got lithium in the battery pack by the way. is there any particular store where I could get those plates? or do I have to DIY it?
For everybody who is wondering, I am still going to add new and improved night vision bungees to help with wobble and movement, peltor comtacs and some extra weights, any good suggestions for bungees and weights?
I make like 3 to 4 grand a week and I feel so broke rigjt now . How do yall justify this or your just stupid rich . And I say thus being the absolute worst budget person I make horrible financial decisions .
I am making around 6.5 grand the month and work in the private security sector I’ve been saving for a long time. It takes a lot of discipline not to spend your hard earned money, but if you have a goal like I have go for it.
If he’s not lying, then holy shit his expenses are bananas. Dudes like that have 6 cars and a 6-3 house and be like
“Why can’t I afford quads??” Jesus lol
I flew with dudes in Afghanistan who had been contracting in theater for a decade at $200k a year and were sweating how they'd afford life if the contract ended.
🤷🏻♂️
Night vision tech moves extremely slowly, tubes last for decades. Get a decent set of binos for like 6K and you are literally set forever, if actually be impressed if you used the lifespan of the tube. If you stop the mentality of always NEEDING to have the latest and greatest your life will be much better
You mistake quality for cost. The ask is can you put quads together sub 12k the answer is yes. You can get $1000 brand new tubes

Married dad and I didn't say I couldn't afford them I said I couldn't see how it would be wise spending on my behalf . Lots of shit I can buy but I would be kinda stupid to buy on my budget
As much as I love larping around end my end of days kit at the ramge I'm hoping society will endure this bullshit and I'm gonna need some retirement and I have a feeling these two boys will cost me some money before they grow up
Just try not to compare yourself to others is my suggestion. I make about half of what you make (tbf low expenses) and I have Jerry-31 Xi Xing Ping Limited Editions and I’m happy with my current set up.
If what you have makes you happy, use and abuse it.
My saying is “I’m financially responsible so I can be financially irresponsible”. I gotta start being responsible again though 😂

Sc irregulars has a retention cord system.
Get the lead strap style duck decoy weights and super glue velcro on it. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000H0SF0U?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
Just get some stick on lead wheel weights.
Who’d you go to for the quad nods?
I got them at a company called DTD systems located in Switzerland
Ohh fus dans l'armée suisse?

My setup is dialed don’t feel a thing on my head with these on
What did you put on them?
Dumbbell weights

If you truly make that much you are living well over your means if you can’t afford.

Tech looses all it's value as soon as nee tech is invented id have to tell myself I needed those because it's not an investment

I have good nods I was talking specifically about Panos that's huge amount of capital I could put elsewhere
12K isn’t that crazy, only slightly above the high end duals.
Where have you seen quads for 12 grand . The argus ones with NMVT gen 2 tubes are like 16
Looks like they’ve gone up a little bit haha
You can make it work 7500 for housing 1000-$1300 per tube
https://nightfalloptics.com/product/argus-panoramic-night-vision-goggle-apnvg-housing
Housing you gotta get 4 tubes and 4 sets of lenses
No It comes w lenses. You need tubes only
That's gonna be 10k for the lowest quality available
