I do find myself using the red laser when zeroing as i can walk the lazer into the impact then adjust the ironsight from there..
All in all a good unit. my only real torture test was at Black sheep last year when it ran for about 8-10 hrs strait.(using momentary switch)
Con is it is a hog on batteries. for every 4 hrs of use its 1 battery.

Wow... i totally missed the focus ring on the illuminator, fixed it this morning, it is much more usable now! thanks!(i am only using a gen1 nvd
wanting a pvs14 but i am to poor right now). As per the battery life i had a feeling that it would be crappy. For the IR laser i feel that it is eye safe because it has a similar signature to that of a DBAL I2 which has a <5mw eyesafe laser.
PS, i will try and post pictures through my NODS tonight unless Cico would like to as he has GEN3 while i have GEN1 NODS
