Sunday, June 16th, 2013The inteliSCOPE is an app for Android and iOS smartphones that turns the device into a tactical optic. It features multiple self-orienting reticles, 5x digital zoom, drop compensation, recording and playback options, built-in compass, GPS positioning, shot timer, and local prevailing winds.
Additionally, the smartphone can be attached to a 1913 picatinny rail using the inteliSCOPE Tactical Adapter System. It’s made from high strength composite-reinforced polymer with a ruggedized tactile rubber finish. It detaches via a quick-release toggle, can be adjusted to portrait or landscape orientation, and allows for the user to shoot around corners with no head exposure. A Nerf rail adapter also allows the user to use the inteliSCOPE on any of the N-strike Nerf blasters.

Introducing TNVC University
Friday, June 14th, 2013TNVC recently launched a Youtube channel that is chock full of night vision knowledge. When they spoke with us about sharing it, I suggested we take the idea one step further by making it a regular feature here on SSD. They agreed and here we are, launching TNVC University. I am really excited to have them on board. Let the learning begin…
TNVC’s core is education. It always has been; It always will be. While we do sell night vision and related gear, we are not salesmen. We are real life trainers first. We are educators. We can outfit a team or department with the night vision equipment they need, educate them on what it does, and then show them how to use it operationally. Our managerial and training staff is made up of former military special operations/former law enforcement special operations, and all currently hold a badge. This is not just a job for us. We understand the importance of putting quality equipment into the hands of the people who depend on it, because we also depend on it. TNVC as a company felt compelled to fill the void in informative and educational material when it comes to night vision, which is why we are pleased to announce our YouTube series that we hope will bring insight into the night vision world. We will be adding topics on a regular basis, however, if there is something that you would like to see us cover, feel free to email us any suggestions.
