Croc walked me through and fixed my issues. The unit really is very nice, build quality is excellent! The click adjustments (like the real Insight) are like nothing else on the market right now. The lasers are the strongest available on airsoft clones. A title previously held by G&P. It feels virtually identical to the Insight PEQ 15. It even weighs the same as the original Insight. Why don’t I have the Insight? I don’t have 1600.00, and need the IR capabilities for my job (LE).
purchased and just received today a FMA LAB PEQ-15. I have a set of PVS-7D night vision goggles. When I select the “IR” settings on the selector dial to power the IR Laser and/or Illuminator, they power off after 15-30 seconds automatically and display a RED led light at the rear rather than the NORMAL green led rear indicator light. After that, I have to remove the battery and, then re-insert the battery to get the unit to work again. Also, from what I’ve read in the VERY SHORT manual, “DH” is supposed to “blink.” On the DH setting, there is NO blinking. There’s just constant on. The IR “AL” and “DL” (low power) settings do NOT work at all under any circumstances. Those 2 settings do not function. Thirdly, sometimes the Green LED is on when the switch is activated but there is NO laser emission on ANY setting. Once again, I have to remove and re-insert the battery to get it functioning again.
FMA said they will make constant on later on as lots of ppl requested it, thrle blinking one is for the first few batch i guess, what battery are you using btw?
After careful examination, I tried another battery from a different batch/package of Energizer CR123s and every setting works EXCEPT the last setting (DH) where BOTH IR laser and IR Illuminator are on high power. When I turn to DH on the “selector”, both lasers come on HIGH power for about 5 seconds, then go out.
If they removed the “blinking” option; that would explain the absence of this feature. I know the real Insight PEQ 15 does have blinking/strobing in the exact same manner to differentiate the laser pointer and Illuminator being on target so you know which one to use to shoot with. I think it’s useful. They shouldn’t have removed it, but maybe established some sort of programming to toggle it on or off.
Too bad they didn’t set up some sort of switch combinations to toggle it on or off. It really is a useful feature in fast paced high stress CQB environments.
I wish they had EXACT spec lasers, ie 50 mw IR (pointer) 100 mw Illuminator, and 50 mw Red laser. They have a 56 mw Illuminator and 26 mw pointer; I don’t see why they just don’t go ahead make the lasers to issue MILSPEC.
the best part of this unit is it accepts real SF remote switches. I am using this unit on my GBB HK416 with SF torch and double SF switches, it works pretty well. Too expensive but so fart the only knock off PEQ 15 that available in the market which is close to the real PEQ 15. Will FMA release them again? for the time being it cannot be found in any airsoft retailers or amazon or ebay and aliexpress.
I've got one of these recently, and my elevation & windage for lasers don't work properly, the lasers are way off to the right and can't be zeroed. I assume you didn't have such an issue? Did you have any problems with the laser adjustment?
@@BigCrocAirsoft yeah it's the november 2018 version. Let me make myself clear: the laser DOES adjust, but the adjustment range is shifted way to the right, so I can't cowitness the laser with the holo sight, as well as withthe BUIS. I mean, even in the leftmost adjustment position, the laser dot is still to the right of the sight marks. And in the rightmost position, it is wayyyyy to the right. Sorry I'm bad at explaining, I'm going to make a video showcasing that.
its about 180 usd, about the same as the g&p DBAL, G&P one has a better build outlook and also hace adjustable laser but if you are following some unit which only uses the peq15, this FMA one is still the best in terms of look and with adjustable, function laser, IR laser and IR light so........
@@BigCrocAirsoft I have both and the G&p is better in all ways, full adjustable, *advice that's can adjust for aim, so useless for use with NVG. Poor constructed, the damnit illuminator BLINk and can't adjust the diameter. its only a look like peq15 that cost 180 eu.. if only had reply te G&P ..
Yeah as Big Croc has said, it's only kind of 'worth it' if you can't use a DBAL. This new FMA version, as it appears, is a bit of a lottery - some people (myself included) are reporting issues with the laser adjustment, while others don't have this problem.
I got one of these and I got somewhat dissapointed that they fucked up the flaslight (illuminator) do you know if there is a way to make it not strobe? I hate that I can't use the illuminator because it strobes...
@@BigCrocAirsoft wow these price difference the new model costs at around below 60 usd right from the supplier seller and resellers here in PH sells around 80 usd converted damn thats why I was not sure if it was the same product. Thanks man
Does anyone else have their “green” indicator LED light turn “red” after a short while? What does the “Red” mean? I’ve changed the batteries twice, it’s not that.
I wait to buy this replica since one year ... And now, product release, so sad about the quality ... Poor replica with lot of bad details, for this price it's sad.

@@mefodius2 can you make a video of how far it can adjust left to right? i have made contact with FMA factory and they want to know the issues.
Thank you no need, Contact is already there. Will be sent to the manufacturer
i hear rumors of the price of this peq isnt worthy, perhaps its too much expensive??
or they should low a lit bit the price??

do you want to sale a peq? I'm interested
trying an atpial without a nvg is like cleaning your ass without wipes.
I'm pretty interested in this. Does anyone know where to get one?
See if JK army still sells them
@@BigCrocAirsoft just checked all sold out
Can it use the real steel remote switch ?
Yes, i used real surefire dual switch with it
Is the illuminator LED or IR laser Based?
illuminator is IR, laser has IR and normal laser
@@BigCrocAirsoft i mean is the illuminator an IR led, or an IR laser diode, like the G&P dbal

is this the 'upgrade' version?

Does anyone else have their “green” indicator LED light turn “red” after a short while? What does the “Red” mean?
I’ve changed the batteries twice, it’s not that.
Red light means low battery
Are you using rechargeable CR123 ? Sometimes the voltage drops even in freshly charge and it will not have enough juice to run it properly
No, I’ve tried 3 brand new LITHIUM CR 123s
The battery wouldn’t explain the “other” issue of it not BLINKING (strobing?) on the last 2 high power settings.
Could that be battery also?
@@JohnSmith-zw6tr apparently the new ones are no longer strobe, just constant on
Where can I buy it???
the Tan one is not out in any online store yet. you can only find the black one currently
Thanks for replying! Do u know the power on the lasers?
@@JeebonZLopez 3:55 , you can freeze frame for all the laser and IR spec 😁
