{ 1 comment }

Infitac’s Fast Mini FML19 brings a sharper 384×288 sensor and a 19mm F1.2 lens to the same tiny footprint. We ran it on pistol and as an offset rifle thermal to see where the extra clarity actually matters.

Vortex ACE Review: First-Round Hit at 989 Yards

{ 0 comments }

The Vortex ACE Ballistic Weather Meter put a first-round shot on target at 989 yards, then proved it could keep up through competition miles, changing wind angles, and real field work. Its big-screen usability and Vortex Relay integration make this more than another pocket weather meter.
