Tuesday, October 1st, 2013EOG’s New Garmin 301/401 Wrist Strap
Sunday, September 29th, 2013
ExplosiveOps Gear’s new Garmin 301/401 wrist strap was made to provide a superior mounting option for the Garmin 301/401 GPS device. It uses hardware already on the Garmin 301/401, which eliminates the many problems that come with using a GPS in a clear window pouch: no glare, no fumbling with buttons, and operating the GPS with gloves becomes much easier.
The strap is fully adjustable and comes in a length of 11.5″; it’s longer and wider than the stock strap. Constructed of a comfortable, breathable, wicking fabric, the strap is washable and gets softer with each use.
Available in MultiCam, Coyote, and SRT Black. Made in the USA.

ExplosiveOps Gear – Little Big Man NVG Counter Weight
Sunday, September 8th, 2013
The Little Big Man, or LBM, is ExplosiveOps Gear’s smallest NVG counter weight pouch. Described as the smallest NVG counter weight in the industry, the LBM has dimensions of only 3″ x 2″ x 1.25″ yet is capable of up to 1.5 lbs fully loaded thanks to three 1/2 lb lead bars. Because the bars can loaded incrementally, the LBM can be configured to an appropriate weight for both single or double monocular night vision systems.
The pouch is constructed of 1000 denier Cordura nylon with hook backing. This allows the LBM to be attached vertically or horizontally to loop on the helmet. Additionally, the compact size leaves plenty of room for additional attachments. Available in Coyote, MultiCam, SRT Black, and OD Green.
Like all of EOG’s products, the Little Big Man is made in the USA and is covered under a lifetime guarantee.

Hasbro Teams Up With Theodolite For Nerf N-Strike Elite Tactical App
Monday, August 19th, 2013
Hunter Research and Technology is pleased to announce it’s latest client app project, the Nerf Mission App, developed in partnership with Hasbro, Inc. The Nerf Mission App works with the new Nerf N-Strike Elite Tactical Rail Mount Accessory and turns an N-Strike Elite blaster into a full battle cam with heads up display, compass, inclinometer, and rangefinder. The app lets users record photos and videos, track their arsenal, learn about hand signals used to communicate with a squad, and plan out different missions for multiplayer Nerf battles.
The Nerf Mission App is based on the Theodolite Augmented Reality Navigation app developed by Hunter Research and Technology. This game-changing app defined a new standard for augmented reality navigation when it debuted in 2009, and has been a #1 selling navigation app in iTunes stores around the world. Theodolite works as a heads up display with compass, GPS, map, zoom photo/movie camera, rangefinder, tracker, and two-axis inclinometer. Uses are endless, and Theodolite is great for outdoor sports, hiking, boating, hunting, golf, sightseeing, photography, home projects, and navigation. The app has professional grade features for advanced measurement, observation, and data acquisition, and is used in the field on the job every day by military personnel, first responders, search and rescue workers, surveyors, geologists, architects, engineers, and competitive sportsmen around the world.
Theodolite lets users take geo-stamped camera images, screenshots, movies, and HUD-based screen movies directly from the app. The app includes features like a navigation calculator, map with live markers, team tracking, data logging, KML export, percent grade display, mil compass readout, optical rangefinders (including a mil-based reticle and sniper-style stadiametric graphs), and colored lens filters to improve use in dark conditions and preserve night vision. Theodolite supports over a dozen position formats, and offers an optional World Geodetic Datum Pack with over 220 geodetic datums covering regions and countries on all continents around the world.
“We’re pleased to take Theodolite’s powerful augmented reality technology in a fun and exciting new direction,” said Dr. Craig Hunter, principal and lead developer at Hunter Research and Technology. “Theodolite has a strong customer base of professionals, outdoor enthusiasts, and high-tech gadget nerds, and the Nerf Mission App brings a whole new group of more playful and younger users into the fold.”
The Nerf Mission App is available for free from the iTunes App Store, and works with most iPhone and iPod touch devices running iOS 5.0 or later (iPhone 3GS, 4, 4S, and 5 are supported, as well as 4th- and 5th-generation iPod touch). The Nerf N-Strike Elite Tactical Rail Mount Accessory is for ages 8 and up, and sold separately. See www.nerf.com for more information and a list of retailers.
Theodolite and Theodolite HD are available on the iTunes App Store for a 20%-off summer sale price of $3.99 USD. Theodolite runs on any camera-equipped iPhone or iPod touch. Theodolite HD runs on any camera-equipped iPad or iPad Mini. More information, including screenshots, is available on the Hunter Research and Technology website at www.hrtapps.com/theodolite.
