Don't feel bad, even if you could afford them or were allowed to buy them they will never ever catch up to the government contracts let alone ship out the tens of thousands of civilian backorders. They are unobtainable for everyone, no matter the financial situation.
Great video, glad you guys deep-dove into the workings. A couple of things people may have struggled with: the battery cap is like a medicine bottle, push in and then turn. Don't just try and turn. Also, the original instructions showed some side screws being used with the visor plate. I was never able to get those side screws to work and I was wondering if it was going to be implemented here (which they weren't). Trying to get the side screws to work just resulted in a cracked visor plate for me.
Who knows, wilcox certainly isn't going to give you a real estimate. They've made it clear the low power version isn't in the same ballpark as their highest priority. Your best bet is the pony up the extra $1000-1500 and get a FP. Unless you need the low power version for a specific reason.
@@JoeBlow-ub1us You people recommending FP units for thousands of dollars to civilians are plain stupid. If the things breaks and you send them in to get it repaired it's gone for good. Might aswell buy some eyemelting chinese knockoff at that point, same power, same gamble if it breaks or not, a third of the price.
@@arcuz7862 actually wilcox is known for fixing fp units even if its sent in by a civilian. In fact a while ago they got in trouble for it. It's Christmas ya scrooge, lighten up. If people want to buy fp units, then that's their right. Go buy shitty chinese lams yourself, that's your right.
@@JoeBlow-ub1us They're not shitty, they have just as much power as (murican) "full powered" units. Which is still pretty weak compared to the stuff we have here in Europe.
Why does mine constantly eat the battery? I’ll finish training and leave it in the safe for 2 days come back and it’s dead. And no I’m not leaving the laser on or anything like that. Is there a way to fully power down the unit to prevent this?
Widening the IL during activation causes there to be a hexagon shaped silhouette in the center of the throw. Is that normal? I can’t seem to get rid of it.
i love watching video overviews on products i cant afford nor am allowed to buy

Just got my FP unit in. Absolute game changer, extremely feature rich and straight forward to use.

I have one, and this video was very helpful 😏
When are low power models shipping to retailers? Been trying to get one for a year…

now if only they were actually in stock and not just on backorder.
Wow a laser that costs more than the rifle I have to mount it to!
Can I use an ATPIAL button switch plug with it?
What is “near infrared” is that different than my NGAL?
No- near IR is the actual wavelength that “IR lasers/illuminators” use. Its the same thing

I sent an email and have yet to receive a reply
I think it’s normal. I see it all now mine and on my friends.
When installing the hardcover, why do the instructions say to put the side posts in, but this dude just leaves them on the table?
@wilcox industries corp. -any thoughts here?
Get some.
I Just bought this thing it seems dam confusing
I'll be the thumbs down button.
I don't doubt it's a great piece of equipment, but the price is absolutely stupid. You guys are in your own heads.
