Contour Picatinny Rail Mount by Strikemark Targets

Friday, December 9th, 2011

Strikemark Targets has added a Contour Picatinny Rail Mount to their lineup of camera mounts we mentioned during New Breed of Warrior. Manufactured from a single piece of aluminum, the mount features a Black powder coat finish. It comes with an Allen key for installation and is held in place with a nylon tipped set screw. Installation is simple. You slide it on the rail, adjust its position, set the screw, and attach the Contour to the mount.

DSPTCH Camera Wrist Strap

Friday, December 9th, 2011

We were alerted to this camera wrist strap by DSPTCH. It’s a good looking item and an excellent concept. In fact, we’re surprised no one has done it before. Since it loops back through itself it is adjustable for the whole gamut of wrist sizes. Just be careful, your wrist is going to give long before that braided 550. But, the handy SR buckle should break away before you do. Available in Olive, Black, and Coyote.

Thanks NH for the heads up!

Need to Use Your Touch Screen Cell Phone While Wearing Gloves? Try Ambit Gloves from OR

Tuesday, December 6th, 2011

Outdoor Research has introduced two new styles of handwear that offer the ability to use a touch screen device without having to take off your gloves. Integrating TouchTecâ„¢ technology, the Ambit glove is a fully seam taped, gauntlet style glove. Insulated with EnduraLoftâ„¢, the liner is made from waterproof/breathable Ventiaâ„¢ Plus. In addition to the Ambit there is also a lightweight glove called the Sensor which is offered in both mens and womens sizing.

I tried out a pair briefly during a sales call over the summer. While I can’t speak to the glove’s warmth in various temperatures I can say that I was pleased to be able to control my iPhone while wearing an insulated glove.

Gobbler Knuckles from AAC

Sunday, December 4th, 2011

Referred to as a “Gobbler Knuckle”, it’s an interesting concept piece. Combining a 1911 bushing wrench with integrated hex wrench holes (including a 3/8″ for LaRue levers and KAC scope mounts) as well as a bottle opener, the “Gobbler Knuckle” features finger holes incorporated into the design which offer a better grip when using it to remove “stuck bushings or stuck beer tops, stuck scope mounts . . . Or other “stuck stuff.” Right now it’s still just a prototype. Hopefully, AAC will put these into production.

Field Notes

Sunday, November 27th, 2011

A simple, “FIELD NOTES” is emblazoned on the cover. While they make a whole slew of notebooks, my favorite is the 48-page memo book. It is 3-1/2” wide by 5-1/2” tall making a perfect fit for a pocket and it’s well made so it won’t fall apart when you’re using it. Bound with a rugged three-staple saddle-stitch process, envelope brown and burnt orange are standard covers but over the course of a year, they release several specialty colors that sell out almost immediately.

I prefer the graph paper since I’m not much of an artist and it makes it easier for me to sketch but ruled and plain are also available. Made in USA.

Here, you can see it mounted to a Crye Precision AirFrame Helmet with an Ops-Core VAS Shroud.
