SHOT Show – MOHOC

Wednesday, January 20th, 2016

DSC07215

It’s been a while since we last posted anything on the MOHOC Elite Ops Camera, and while nothing has changed with the camera itself, there are two new updates worth covering. First, it’ll be available for general purchase very soon; we were told approximately within a week after SHOT. Until now, sales have generally been restricted to Military and Law Enforcement. The second announcement is MOHOC is working on developing a line of accessories for the Elite Ops Camera.

This is the Flat Surface Mount. This mount not only accounts for the curvature of the MOHOC camera, providing a flat surface for the camera to sit on, but it also features a 1/4″ thread and two mounting sockets on the bottom.

This mount mates with any accessories which utilize a 1/4″ screw, such as the generic miniature tripod seen below:

MOHOC also developed a KeyMod compatible attachment system which mates with the mounting sockets on the flat mount, allowing for users to attach the Elite Ops Camera to their weapon.

DSC07217

MOHOC also developed this GoPro mount-compatible adapter, due to the wide availability GoPro accessories on the market, and their wide adoption.

What you see below is a Dog mount for the MOHOC, which is worn like a collar and positions the the camera right between the dog’s ears.

Below is a shoulder strap adapter, which attaches to a shoulder strap on a pack or armor carrier.

Finally, MOHOC has developed a nylon carrying case for the Elite Ops Camera.

New Picatinny IZLID Mount from BE Meyers

Tuesday, January 19th, 2016

  
This is BE Meyers’ new offset mount for the IZLID Ultra and 200P lasers. This one is in the white, but it gives you a good perspective of how close it gets to the rail to make it less of a snag hazard. The 200P and Izlid Ultra are amazing for long range shooting at night. The 200P at 200mw is a nice compact package that will illuminate to around 800 meters and the Ultra at 1K mw will push that laser out even farther. Great option for long range sniping with all the .300 win mags and .338 lapua’s out there.

  
BE Meyers is at booth #20361.

Precision Aiming Laser from LMT Defense Now Shipping

Tuesday, January 19th, 2016

  

MILAN, ILLINOIS – January 18, 2016 – LMT Defense is pleased to announce they are now shipping the Precision Aiming Laser (PAL™) in infrared, the company’s first product from their new Electro-Optic Division. The PAL infrared laser was initially developed for broad military customer adoption and has the cleanest and tightest laser beam on the market and uses the least amount of power. The PAL IR can be seen at the 2016 NSSF SHOT Show in booth #20249.
Designed as a carbine length laser device at 400M, the laser offers almost no diffusion and therefore is only visible to those close to the start or end of the beam. Made of space age aluminum the body of the laser is smaller and lighter than other lasers, while offering a more rugged and stronger body design. The latest generation of lasers also has a waterproof depth up to 30M below water, the deepest of any laser on the market.

The PAL has five settings, including; off, low remote, low, high remote and high. This enables a user to choose a lower setting or high setting in both constant on or on remote tether. The PAL includes the best signal connection on the market and is free float 360 degrees to reduce any hang hazards or entanglements.

LMT Defense will also be launching a commercial version of the same laser that has a lower power setting as required by federal law, and will be adding models in both red visible and green visible later in the year. The PAL with this lower setting makes the laser ITAR safe as well as commercially viable. The commercial variant still has the same space age aluminum body design and clean laser beam image. The laser also has the same tether and touch pad for remote operation.

The LMT PAL 5 (5mW) exclusively for LE/Military users will retail for $699.00. The LMT PAL 1 (1mW) for commercial customers will retail for $549.00.
