This translates to an overall decrease in power consumption of up to 35% giving users longer runtimes with smaller batteries and faster recharge cycles. This reduction in size is achieved while improving the overall quality and scalability of the video image.

With a weight of 7.5g and a 21mm x 21mm x 19mm body, the ArmaCORE represents an industry-leading reduction in space without sacrificing performance. The advanced embedded processing and video analytics, as well as customizable software functionality, gives this small camera big capabilities, including integration with auxiliary sensors, third-party cameras, GPS, and IMU.

Built-in Image Processing

– Automatic AGC – Histogram based AGC equalizing the image dynamic range

– Automatic FFC – Build in shutter optimizes deep flat field correction

– Auto Colorization – Auto pallet colorization is based on 256 color LUT

– Enhanced Grayscale based on 14 bit dynamic range

– Image stabilization minimizes the effect of shaking

– Digital image enhancements include gain, gamma, medium and mean filtering

Onboard image capturing and recording is available to external memory via SD or USB, based on device characteristics. Continuous streaming at 30 FPS over SDIO for Wi-Fi and over USB is a built-in feature of the ArmaCORE. An API is also available for the control of filing systems and image manipulation.

“ArmaCORE provides better performance, a smaller form factor, and a compelling cost profile that allows industry leading manufacturers such as Armasight to create high performance thermals for their customers using US technology at price points unseen before.” said Dmitry Rocklin – Head of Product at Armasight.

The ArmaCORE technology is Designed & Supported in the USA and will be included in future Armasight thermal imaging products.

SIGHTRON Announces the New 2nd Generation S1 One-Inch Riflescope Line

January 13th, 2022

Youngsville, NC- January 12, 2022 – SIGHTRON, one of the world’s most innovative optical observation and aiming device companies, is proud to announce the launch of the new 2nd generation S1 series of one-inch riflescopes. Built on the legacy of the original SI series, first introduced in 2002, the new S1 series is an extension of all of our experience earned over the last 20 years and applying it for the next generation of hunters and target sport enthusiasts.

SIGHTRON’s designers and engineers focused on reducing weight, improving optical design, light transmission, eye relief, and more generous sight pictures. They have accomplished all of this without resorting to exotic materials and manufacturing processes that inevitably increase prices. Staying true to industry standard zoom ranges, the team used modern optical technologies, material improvements, and looked for those “little tweaks” that make a difference. The result is a seamless transition from the original SI or other brands while benefiting from the latest in optical technology.

Each S1 riflescope uses a one-inch lightweight aircraft aluminum tube that is O-ring sealed, air purged, then filled with nitrogen gas for a waterproof and fogproof performance that will handle anything mother nature throws its way. S1 riflescopes have SIGHTRON’s Lifetime Performance Guarantee that is backed by a team of skilled technicians. If you ever have an issue, they will get your scope working as it should or we will replace it, no charge.

NEW S1 Riflescopes:
S1 1.75-5×32 G2 with 1 reticle option
S1 3-9×40 G2 with 3 reticle options
S1 3.5-10×50 G2 with 1 reticle option
S1 4-12×40 G2 with 2 reticle options
S1 4-12×40 AO G2 (adjustable objective front focus) with 2 reticle options

Magpul Flight Glove 2.0

January 13th, 2022

Magpul has updated their popular Flight Glove to a 2.0 configuration. The change is mainly due to the addition of touch screen compatible fingertips (three fingers) due to the wide proliferation of digital screens in cockpits and the use of touch screen enabled End User Devices by ground forces. However, they’ve also beefed up the construction a bit without sacrificing dexterity.

They feature Flash-resistant Nomex and Kevlar back of hand for flame and anti-static protection along with durable and soft one-piece goatskin leather palm and finger construction for enhanced feel and control of firearms.

Black, Coyote, and Sage in sizes S-2XL.

Freedom over Money … Froglube Decides Not To Attend SHOT Show 2022

January 13th, 2022

GREETINGS TO ALL OUR FRIENDS AND SUPPORTERS

It is with a degree of sadness that after 10 years of attendance, we have decided to end our presence at the annual National Shooting Sports Foundation SHOT SHOW in Las Vegas, NV.

Since COVID struck in 2020, FrogLube attempted to continue our participation in SHOT SHOW despite unlawful, cost prohibitive and convoluted restrictions imposed by the governor of the state of Nevada. We looked to NSSF to stand up for our industry and to pressure the state authorities into allowing our trade show to return to normal. As a small business, any attempt to engage in commercial interaction with our customers under constantly changing, unrealistic and absurd restrictions is cost prohibitive and places an undue burden on our company.

We do not question the reality of the COVID 19 disease, in fact, most of us have had it. At issue is that a disease is not sufficient cause for the removal of god-given/inalienable rights by any man, government agency or commercial enterprise. Does the governor of Nevada restrict trade show attendance for any other communicable diseases with transmissibility? FrogLube and NSF engage in free enterprise in an industry that uses individual rights as a selling point to attract people to purchase our firearms products. We find the NSF stance is mutually incompatible to the expression of both the 1st and 2nd amendments of the US Constitution. How can we stress the 2nd amendment at the show while yielding on the 1st amendment?

We did attempt to persuade the NSSF to cope with these issues, but we got no relief. We found ourselves stuck in an ethical dilemma, where we might have to choose to compromise on our company ethos in order to continue our attendance.

At FrogLube, we come from military and law enforcement backgrounds and we share lifetimes of service to our country, our citizens and the protection of their rights. For us, the decision is freedom over money. We choose freedom,

Owners,

Larry & Stacy Lasky
