So far I have yet to use it out in the field but with just using it to look through in the yard I am very impressed with it and how tech savvy it is as well.
Thank you for sharing that. I am glad to hear the first impressions have been strong and that the features and technology have already stood out to you. Getting some time behind it in the yard is always a good way to get familiar before taking it out into the field. I appreciate you choosing Night Vision Universe and hope it performs just as well once you start putting it to use during your hunts.
Must have for the rh25. I wish it came with this instead of the qd mount it ships with.
Joseph, Thank you for sharing your feedback. I am glad to hear it has been a great addition to your RH25 setup and that it made such a difference in usability. That is a common sentiment, and many users prefer this configuration once they try it. I appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and for choosing Night Vision Universe.
My opinion is better than a flip to side mount because it lets you easily switch to the different ways to use the rh25 without having to switch out hardware on the thermal. Its a must have and the dovetail pic rail shoe that stays on the thermal also a must have. The rh25 should come with those 2 things instead of the qd mount that it does come with. In my opinion.
Joseph, Thank you for sharing your experience and perspective. That is a great point about the RH25 setup, and many users find that configuration much more versatile for switching between different use cases without constantly changing hardware. The dovetail and pic rail shoe combination really does make transitions smoother depending on how you plan to run the thermal. I appreciate you taking the time to share your insight, as feedback like this is very helpful for others setting up their RH25, and I am grateful you chose Night Vision Universe.
The product I ordered was exactly as described. This is a given and I had no problems with the thermal optic itself. Fantastic product from iRayUSA.
Where Night Vision Universe really stood out for me was their incredible customer service. The day after ordering the optic with free shipping, I became worried that I should’ve chosen a better shipping method out of fear for the optic’s safety in transit. The next morning at 6am I decided to text the # on NVU’s website and got connected to Bruce. He responded to me within maybe an hour or two and agreed with my concerns about the shipping, and on the spot decided to upgrade my free shipping to 2-day shipping for FREE. He then provided me with tracking info and continued to update me about my order via text. I normally never write reviews but the customer service shown from NVU made it practically impossible for me to not spread the word.
For the record, I found them after searching online for reputable thermal/night vision vendors, and google had them as one of the first to pop up. For good reason it seems.
I highly recommend NVU for any night vision or thermal needs, not only for their legitimate/as-advertised products of course, but also for their personal and attentive staff and customer service that ensured my order got delivered swiftly and safely.
Mark, Thank you for taking the time to write such a detailed review. I am really glad to hear the optic arrived safely and lived up to expectations, and I truly appreciate you sharing the experience around the shipping situation. Protecting high value equipment in transit is important, so I was happy to upgrade the shipping and make sure you felt confident about the delivery. Staying in touch and keeping customers informed is something I take seriously, especially with purchases like this. It means a lot that you went out of your way to leave a review and recommend Night Vision Universe after finding us online, and I am very grateful for the trust you placed in me.
Awesome clarity on day and thermal
Ballistic calculator holds are really cool
Nicholas, Thank you for sharing that. I am glad to hear you are enjoying both the daytime and thermal clarity, and that the ballistic calculator features are proving useful in real world use. Those tools can make a big difference once everything is dialed in. I appreciate you choosing Night Vision Universe and hope the setup continues to perform well for you.
