Hi I was curious out of the 2 Holosun 512c vs the hollow sun aems what would be your recommended choice. I’m putting it on my Saint ar.
My personal favorite is the 512c but they are all so good.@@edwardwilson9195
@@Casca-su3ty You are safe if you get the from the Holosun store on amazon. The links here are good to go. If you get them from unknown vendors on amazon that is where you get clones.
Well put video, straight to the point, covered all 3 red dots that I was checking out… I like your style alot
Great video. I was looking for it
I like those lens covers, I have managed to scratch every optic I have ever owned. Everything from an xps3 to my delta point. It makes sense to to have a sacrificial lens cover that can be replaced.
The window ratio is about the same between AEMS and the 510/512, it's just that it's smaller overall by about .1" both directions. I definitely DO prefer the windows size on the 510/512 AND their clarity. AEMS is just not as clear. I am only picking up the AEMS instead of the 512 because I want LOW mounted red dot on my PCC and the AEMS is just smaller in general. I think 512 is HUGE for a PCC. By the way, your outro music is WAY too loud when compared to your voice. Please normalize the volume. Thank you for this content, is was very helpful.
Thank you, just the video I needed!
Thanks for this. So far the 512c is looking like a superior option for me. My only hesitation is the detachable lenses, they seem like a really good option for the gun I want to use this optic on, something kept in a traveling bag.
The 512 does not have the detachable lenses the AEMS does.
@@citizensurvivalplan Yeah absolutely. Pretty much the only thing making me hesitate getting the 512c, and the AEMS detachable lenses seem like a good long term investment.
However, after marinating on it for the last three hours, I will likely choose the 512C.
The 512 is one of my favorites you cant really go wrong with any of them.@@StepCrow
@StepCrow I've been doing research the past like 2 months on red dots and I think the 512c is also my choice.. I know im late to this thread, you ever make a decision? I'm in the same boat lol
@@zanechristiansenYou're not late, I'm later than you hahaha. After all my research... the 510T looks like the way for me.
The quick detach mounts are good for speed but theyre not good at return to zero. The ratched mount for the aems is better at return to zero. Just an fyi for anyone reading and weighing their preferences.
I have not experienced this. I have had the quick mount off several times for filming videos it always returns right where it was. If that changes I will update.
Lower 1/3 co-witness is for the ability to zero your red dot and iron sights at different distances. Absolute co-witness you have to zero both your red dot and iron sights at the same distance. It's operator choice. I'm retired LEO & a hunter and I prefer lower 1/3. I'll zero my red dot at 36 yards = 300 yards and zero my irons at 50 yards= 200 yards
Hmm, I never thought of that. That's actually an interesting point. Thank you for making a reasonable point about 1/3 🤔😎👌👍
36 yards is a great choice for zeroing. The research I've done states you're good from 36 yards to 400 yards with about a 10 inch spread on a torso. That seems like it owns over everything else for 5.56
@@douglascuvillyed.s8211 36 gets great overall coverage. 50 to 200 is only 3-4 inch diameter spread. So you can put the red dot center mass and reliably hit your target. Any wind up to 10mph doesn't really affect 556 round to much up to 100 yards. A lot of people believe the co-witness is for if power is loss to your optic. Thats why a lot of LEO or military run Scalarworks mounts. The mount bolt is hand tightened and can be removed with no tools. They're expensive mounts but well worth the price in quality.
I absolutely love my holosun sights.. rock the combo pair on my CZ scorpion.
Excellent. Short and medium informative
Great review and information. Thanks
Helpful Information! Thanks
I like the 512 because of its size, but I think holosun disconnected it in green, so I'll have to go with the aems , it has the gren option.
Thanks for making this video. Can you speak on parallax between these 3 sights? The eotechs are great in terms of no parallax. I haven’t seen any reviews discuss parallax for holosuns yet.
I can look into this but honestly. It's never anything that's been an issue with using any of the sights I put the dot on things I want to hit and go. Going at angles or anything I've never experienced any issues with parallax problems.
Yeah if you have good shooting technique, parallax isn’t that important. I just figured I’m considering buying an eotech or one of these sights with wider field of view for the quicker target acquisition they provide.
I’m currently using a Romeo5 and the parallax is very noticeable.
Good video. Thanx
512c is the way.
i love the 512c (aluminum) but now all you can get is the 512t (titainium)and its like 550 bucks or more. it sucks they took away the c idk why they did!
No, they still have them on Amazon.
@@timmydevil999how good are the optics in Amazon
Good review, keep it up!
Much appreciated!
@@citizensurvivalplan what would you recommend out of the 512c or the aems. Planning on getting one for my Saint Ar. Or do you have a better recommendation thanks in advance.
If you had to choose one, which would it be?
512.
nice video
Thanks for the visit
Thanks for sharing. I have stigmatism and not try to spend for Eo tech but want to have Holographic projection than normal reddot. Is 512 & AEMS works like Eo tech ? Or jun enclosed laser projected reddot ?
they are enclosed red dots. But very clear i dont know why people think this is bad they work amazing i have all the the holosun reflex rifles sights and the only complaints i have are in the videos.
I have an aems and debating on another or the 512c. I just feel like the 512c would be tougher since it is lower on the gun less snags. Any opinions on snagging/ toughness of the 2?
I have not had an issue with snagging the sight on rigs /clothing at all but i will kinda of agree the 512 seems to be a more robust design. One thing about the 512 I do not bring up in the video but i will cover soon is running the holosun magnifier with the 512 is more difficult because of its larger size when you have back up iron sights and the 512 on there is not enugh room for the magnifier. the AEMS solves this problem.
The ames doesn’t give up anything on FOV. I will say it has replaced an aimpoint T2 on my SP5. The other thing is both of the other sights have open emitters that’s a huge thing in real life as guns get really dirty being at a match or in the field. You can get a different base height for the AMES while I disagree about absolute co-witness you can get that height. I only disagree because the cheap availability of night vision is really happening after 20 years and absolute co witness is an idea from early 2000’s with most people now increasing the height above 1/3 co witness.
The only sight with an open emitter is the 510c. yeah i like the aems i have one its a great sight I just like to cover all the pros and cons from my perspective.
@@citizensurvivalplan yeah man keep doing videos not enough people people talking about budget options. Holosun is bringing innovation at a reasonable price with similar capabilities.
Is the 510c an absolute co-witness out of the box? I thought there was a riser you needed just to get it to 1/3 co witness?
510 is absolute co witness out of box the riser would be for lower 1 third Co witness.
@@citizensurvivalplan how about the 512? Is that one absolute out the box or lower 1/3?
@@spindoggytheexplorer2915 my 512 came out of the box absolute co witness.
512 or Aem on a Evo Scorpion 4.2 ? I’m undecided who ya got ?
512 for pcc you prob won't run a magnifier so small footprint of the aems won't matter and you will like the big window of the 512.
@@citizensurvivalplan I wonder if you can co witness it?
4:44 what she said
I had a Holosun 403C. Couldn't zero it for anything. Watched multiple UA-cam videos and read tons hours of information. Still couldn't. Sold it and got a LPVO. I can hit accurately again! RDS's aren't for me.
Sounds like you just had a bad red dot it happens.
I already have a 512c on my primary. any real advantage to getting an aems other than weight or pretty much just the same ?
the aems is like 35% lighter and has flip caps but not really the electronics behave the same way between all of them. aems is also lower 1/3 cowitness if that matters to you.
@@citizensurvivalplan i run a peq15 so i have my 512c raised on a riser mount with a PA 3x flip mag behind it. so cowitness is a sacrifice i already made lol . but yeah if its just to save 3 oz and flip caps its not worth it for me then
Yeah for sure i just really like them all so i got one of each! everyone prefers different things so i get it. Have fun shooting.@@redeye8526
"Hollow" sun 😆
Pretty funny....
No you didn't. You didn't go over the other two sights at all.
