Let’s See Some NV/Thermal Setups

My son and I went real camping (as opposed to parking a car on a pad and setting a tent next to it). It was new moon and overcast. He wanted to play NV in the woods. I only have one pair, so I held on to him. It was scary as sin. I had no vision at all. He was loving it. He is 4.
Yes. Let’s.
Can’t wait for my 15-22 SBR stamp to come back. Probably gonna order a Holosun laser for it.
Ah man that’ll be dope. Honestly you should go with the Steiner TOR mini for that. It’s like $250
I was looking at that or the LS117IR.
How do you like the Trijicon thermal offerings? I have a unique opportunity to get a skeetIR for ‘fell off a truck’ prices but I’d like it to be helmet mounted and now I only have binos in the NV sector and don’t have 3 eyes. It’s either that or a COTI thermal clip on for my RNVG’s but they’re kind of heavy and unwieldy for 20° of FOVDead of night with the Trijicon Reap 35 mounted atop my AR, deer are at about 150 yds.
Photo is from my iPhone taking the picture of the Reap's tiny screen inside its eye piece, while balancing the AR on my window sill.. was quite a feat.
As you may know, Trijicon requires fancy cables to retrieve images directly from the unit (that I don't have).
thermal will better for spotting, not as much for shooting in some instance because refresh rate (time image shows up on screen from when you see it) lag's a little, and you cant see through glass with IR
