The Pelican CRATE 45L is not just another tough-looking box for the truck bed. It is a waterproof, dustproof, configurable gear vault that earned its place hauling optics, thermals, night vision, and the expensive kit I do not want turned into paperweights.

BY Mitchell Graf Published: May 31, 2026 { 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.
