Ok I understand the incentive to make a product pricier as it will be an "exclusive" GOV item, BUT nearly 2.5k for a glorified torch and battery pack, you can get night vision for that money!
The whole point of this system is to be future proof which is why it has really fast processing capability, and nodes with the ability to put in additional nodes into the rail later. I heard that ops core will have a powered version of the AMPs later. But yes, overall this system isn't designed for us poors. It's not even designed for the vast majority of the military. I think there will be more stuff coming for the rail link for those civies that can afford it.
ok wait, you dont get a helmet shell but you have to buy the rails, the battery pack attachment bracket for the rear for 2.5 k and THEN you have to buy the battery pack for 1.1k and every other light, torch and strobe seperately for 200 + ???
I did 12 years in the Army as a medic. If you can't tell if an injured soldier's bleeding, be real with yourself and do your best to stay away from the field and operational Army. You belong in a clinic counting medical supplies. Red light is tactical, and is enough for you to figure your shit out.
I love how we are starting to finally transition into powered armor systems, I can’t wait to see the 5k Plate carrier that will eventually be made to connect with this. That being said, this helmet is a nightmare, you’re going to have to damn near take off your helmet just to turn your strobe on, or turn your flashlights on. The wiring tape seems very fragile and is damn near unsupported inside the rail, it’s one drop/blast away from shorting out. I really like the idea but there are definitely some improvements I would suggest to make this system more operator friendly, and fail safe.
I’m an engineer, flexible PCB’s are a lot tougher than you think. A lot tougher. Doesn’t need to be supported and in fact you don’t want to screw flexible PCB’s down between two surfaces, etc. I personally can’t think of a single better design than what is shown for a powered rail. Wiring may instinctually seem better but trust me, this solution is far more stable. Big thing is there aren’t huge wire solder joints that are susceptible to g-forces.
@@Laminar-Flow I guess we will see, but during the installation I saw a lot of vibration in the wiring due to it being unsupported, and I think over time that will take its toll.
I looked at a picture of one on tnvc's website and it looks like they installed the rail link without the helmet cover on. Then they put the helmet cover over it and most likely did some cutting in the proper places to get the battery pack to connect.
I mounted mine to the bare helmet as per the ops core instructions and then I put the helmet cover on over top of it. I cut the back portion to be able to mount the battery pack. With the battery pack on it stays nice and secure and it just appears like I have a regular helmet with a battery pack that isn't connected to anything. I thought about installing it over the helmet cover but went against it because if it rains and the helmet cover soaks and wicks water and traps water into the rail link... at least that's my reasoning. Like I said, putting a battery cover over worked just fine and it hides the system to the point where people might question as to why you've got a random battery pack on your helmet.
From messing with this system it looks like if your helmet can accept the standard ops core rails then it can also accept the raillink. The system seems adaptable to all helmet sizes. The only thing you might need extra are mounting screws. The raillink is thicket than the standard rail system and screws come in based on your helmet type. That being said if you mount a 4600 dollar system on a cheap Chinese helmet that uses the US people as free beta tester then that's something to laugh at.

It was designed for a Tier 1 army unit running the latest Fused-Panoramic NVGs (F-PANO). You will not see the benefits or use case with normal NVGs. Fused NVGs are restricted to MIL/LE only so this is not for you and you don't understand the system enough to know what its benefits are.
@@ivaniuk123 how so? The benefits are truly seen with fused nvgs so how will this benefit the average nvgs user other than reduce weight and snag hazards for an extreme price

That doesn’t include the battery pack or accessories. The total system costs 5k+. Oh and AN ADDITIONAL 23 DOLLARS FOR SCREWS.

2,500$ - 4,700$ is crazy.
I wish the Princeton tech light had blue instead of red. You can't see blood when you use red light. It would be helpful for us medics.
Agreed. Green works, sort of. Looks black under green light
Maybe they will do a version 2 and include a blue option.

good luck on selling it
They don't care about us. When a pair of the new NVGs cost over 40k this is a drop in the bucket.

I mounted mine over top of cover on both of my helmet rigs. Keeps the cover from being removable but it works

@@ivaniuk123 great point about the moisture. If that happens I’ll put it in my dehumidifier lol
How do you keep mud out of the electrical contacts?
Mud doesn't matter. The nodes only work if they detect a device and that device needs a charge.
Just a bunch of dude’s who will never own it watching the video, one day I might
Ignoring the price point. Will work on helmets like the HHV High cuts and the Crye-tech Airframe?

What about mud and sea water and the conectors?
Gold doesn't rust and the nodes only work I'd their is power that needs to be drawn.
Cool but overpriced
Any replicas/clones?
YES!
With the high pricing and all the screws needed, you have a screw loose for what you think this helmet is worth.

A regular person can still get the benefit from this system... for a heavy price that won't really make it cost effective.

@@ivaniuk123China could probably make it at the fraction of the price.
Eh no
Three things:
1. Have your “model” cut his freaking finger nails
2. Why doesn’t this dude have any arm hair?
3. This thing is over priced.
please stop trying to suck up all our tax dollars with this overpriced battery pack💀💀💀💀
Too much tech will always be awful in real life combat situations. More prone to failure and a lot harder to fix
