Very useful video for making informed decisions. I ended up choosing other options as well as some of the stuff here. This video was an important reference source. Thank you.
Welcome!! Glad I could help a little
Been looking into bump helmets and nvg for months now and this is one of the most helpful videos I've found
Awesome! Glad to help.
@@OpieInTheSmokies any new info on the Howard Leight adapters? The ebay link provided no longer works
Bro, thank you. It's perfect. Saving up for NVG, and 15-hundo on a helmet that's got sit on really heavy cost
Was thinking of allot of these before finding this video. You are an Angel lol thanks g for the info
You’re welcome! I’m all about saving money for expensive ammo lol
Awesome and underrated guys. Thanks!
I bought an airsoft helmet changed the nvg mount/shroud to an aluminum one from canis i got lucky mine came with decent pads I still gotta change the straps. It works for $80 total lol great video glad I came across the video to learn more about helmet setup
you have been really helpful bro, you have a new follower for sure. thank you, take care.
Thanks man! Appreciate the support.
Neat set up. I like how you embraced the non-camouflaged look. The safety orange pops and it also is a better idea on public land where you're not the only guy out shooting. That and you probably won't set off alarm bells, looking more like an arborist than anything else.
New to helmets so this is an awesome learning video for me on how to actually set one up, thanks man.
-Fellow Appalachian
THANK GOD I found this video. Thank you for putting in all the work to help us normies out!
Thanks for the support! Should have a new one with updated stuff out soon.
Great information!!! Thx!
Those twist ratchets are great. I used one on a hardhat at my old job and it's comfortable.
agreed extra lock in type of system
Good info right there!
Thank you so so much for making this video it helped me out so much. I just bought my first night vision so thank you so much
No problem! Going to be doing a new one soon with all the new stuff I’ve found since making this one. Always about saving y’all money and time if I can! Thanks for watching
@@OpieInTheSmokies it helped me alot on picking a bump thats actually decent quality And a decent equipment. I dont know if you got one on decent peq15s but that be something else I myself need more info on
@@ndpredator4726 def check out some of our recent videos on the Somogear full power laser. Made for airsoft but holding zero. $250 price tag too. Awesome deal.
Thanks for making this video researching and testing. I've been looking to get a training setup for airsoft. this saves like 500$ easy. every video i find is only talking about ops core name brand i couldnt justify spending 2200$ on a helmet for airsoft.
Happy to help. Hoping to do an updated version of this soon!
PTS MTEK Replica has a great shroud and suspension system
Man I love the way the MTEKs look. Could you post link here for those interested in a new comment? Would love to get one of those and run a bit too. Thanks for the info!
Amazon has the same pads for $25 at this time, only difference is they come with smaller velcro dots for attachment. I ordered both sets and they are exactly the same.
Nice!
Can you provide a link to the pads at Amazon? The ebay link shows out of stock. Thanks.
I also got those pads on amazon. Solid
I see you have used it for the past 2 years and plan to make a update video with new info and possibly links. PLEASE DO CANT WAIT!
I got that helmet it fits me great. I got some arc rail adapters for my ear pro. I use Walker Razors with the clip on Walkie Talkie. These Arc Rail adapters I don't think will work for me. I need the pop out feature. The ones I got only rotate.
Great info
Happy to help! I feel most people are like me, Champagne taste but a beer budget lol.
How do you think the knockoff scout light performs compared to the real surefire? Awesome video by the way I got the helmet, mount, and tier none j-arm for my pvs14.
Man the light works but it ain’t not sure fire for sure lol. Those surefires could almost start a fire with brightness
Light performance perfect!!! Really good output .. but I’ve never owned a real surefire
I’ll try to do a comparison video soon
What replacement pads did you use? I’m having issues finding those.
www.ebay.com/itm/302586634123?hash=item4673919f8b:g:HScAAOSwuShagpMy
Did you experience a strong flickering effect with the knock off surefire v300 light when using the IR with the NOD like I did? I feel like it was going to kill my tubes.
We’re you using as a helmet or rifle mounted light? I feel these will not withstand recoil very well and I have been using the knockoff solely for helmet mounted lights. I’ve got 4 and so far no flickering with them.
@@OpieInTheSmokies I have mounted on the Helmet.
That helmet looks siiiiick
I love it haha thank you
One more question wat spray paint did u use on the helmet & color??
I got this ceramic spray paint from Lowe’s. Send me an email. Opieinthesmokies@gmail.com and send me a reminder and I’ll send ya a pic of the can
Any difference in the Two mounts (molded and removable)? I feel like the molded one might limit me if I ever needed to replace it. Leaning towards the non vented MH with the removable mount for that reason.
Mine actually just wore out. So I think your concerns are validated. Luckily retention straps still make it useable but a rough enough bump whole thing comes out. Now this one was super tight and I took a razor blade to the bottom side of the mount to shave just a bit to get mount to secure. That could also be contributing to my issue. Either or I totally got my moneys worth out of this helmet for two years.
@@OpieInTheSmokies appreciate the quick response. I watched this video a while back and have had this helmet in my cart for a while. Now just trying to decide on color and whether I want a whole FMA cover or just the bridge. Obviously color isn't so important if running a cover, while with a bridge it would be.
How do you strap it with your beard? I cant find a comfortable way to use the chin strap
If I strap it I strap it under my chin and just rock it that way. Even with a very short trimmed beard it sucks wearing it like normal.
I see you posted you’re going to do an update. Are the links to those products the ones you still Recommend?
Would the Amazon budget friendly bump helmet be good for security guards? Not looking for ballistic. But something to protect from rocks and bottles. Just curious. Thank you so much.
Man I’m not sure I’d want to take a fall in one haha. But I have a HHV bump as well and I’m not sure that it would protect my noggin any better. What I would say is padding and of course force of impact will have the most influence. I think if you get hit from something you’d probably be ok, will the helmet crack after one hit, probably lol.
@@OpieInTheSmokies thank you so much
Elevator music ends and talking begins at 3:35.
Feel better now that you got that off your chest?
@@OpieInTheSmokies I feel like a pad of butter melting on a big ole pile of flap jacks. 🤔 yeah 🤔
How’d that g24 Mount hold up?
What are those counter weight batteries you have in the back?
I’m just using cell phone power bricks. Went out of my way to find some orange ones lol
Hell ya man! Love the vid, best helmet setup on UA-cam!
Will a regular military rhino mount work with these different mounting brackets?
I’ve never had a rhino but I feel like it would.
@@OpieInTheSmokies it's just the basic military style flip mount that the J-Arm attaches to.
Is a removable shroud or a molded shroud better for the helmet for long run?
Both ok but I prefer removable
Thank you! Anything on ear pro? arms to attach ear pro to helmet?
I do have a pair of knock off ops core arms from fma that work pretty well. I plan on doing an upgraded version of this video just haven’t found the time lately
Thank you . Will look forward to that video.Thank you for saving me a big headache figuring this stuff out!@@OpieInTheSmokies
ok. but what cheap civilain nvgs mount to the helmet mount?
haha thats the main issue right now. hopefully that changes in the near future.
Cant find any batteries that fit as good as yours. Could u link the ones you got? or something similar in size i only can find thin ones and all lightweight ones. Love your vids!
The orange ones? I have been asked a lot and have had a really hard time finding them again. I’ll keep an eye out. The anker power bricks are good too. Especially the old black one. It’s a brick.
Holy old video Batman but you still rocking this bump ? Trying to decide on a cheaper bump or a HHV one the mlok is what scares me away from the HHV.
Shoot me a text homie
wow. Thanks so much.
If you had affiliate links, I would use them!
I really need to get those setup lol
Anyone know of a good helmet rail replacement? Got the Chinese bump but my ops core arms keep popping off.
We have many kinds of helmet tracks, you can check out our official website
Buy some used ones off eBay of the real deal.
If you follow the link in the description, it takes you to the bump with a non removable NOD shroud made of plastic. I ordered it and it's unusable. The phatic is so brittle and I had to force my rhino into the shroud and I could feel it cracking.
These helmets are also pretty small.
The links change constantly. I will try and go through and update the links and we also have plans to do an updated video of this within the next few months.
Not your fault, I just wanted to warn others to be careful@@OpieInTheSmokies
My question would be is the knock off helmet rated for blunt impacts?
I would say with almost 100% certainty….No lol don’t fall. This is more so for those who pay all their money for a decent nod setup but itching to get out. Make great first, extra, or buddy helmets to share once you get properly setup.
We are still working on an update to this with a bunch of other additions and updates. Expect it sometime this fall/winter
@@OpieInTheSmokies I figured so but thought I’d ask. However I was doing some research on the materials used on different brands other than the well known IE: T.W, HHV, Ops Core, etc. All say ABS material. Because if the putter shell is made with the same stuff you’d just have to worry about rated pads right? Also Is that typically the material used for the bumps because the Low end uses the same kind?
Do you(or anyone) have any knowledge on the brand DLP bump helmets?
Last thing could you possibly make a video of testing impacts of some of the low to mid tier bumps?
Thank you for your response by the way. I appreciate it.
Is there a budget dovetail J arm you recommend?
I haven’t used one but I have seen several on eBay and Amazon.
I loved this video!!! I’m kinda broke and kinda not .. so I love replica options 🙌🏾💯💯💯… got yourself a new SUBSCRIBER 🤝
I stay broke! Haha especially with a hobby like this. Thanks for watching happy to have ya!
This is a very good helmet setup. However, what's the name of this soundtrack your using?
I’ll try to find it. I use a copyright free music program to try and not get flagged here.
@@OpieInTheSmokies sure, take your time, if possible, can you give me the name of the music program?
@@christiancastillo9426 epidemic sound
@OpieInTheSmokies i found it. Its called "Amber Lights" by Chill Cole.
I bought the eBay manta strobe and I put it on my dogs vest and it fell off and the rubber button fell off. This happened on the first day I got it. Also, the Velcro of my bump helmet had came off and I had to replace it. This happened because I had left inside my vehicle. So I almost had completely replicated this entire setup. This is my experience.
Heat is a hell of an enemy against Velcro. I’ve had non knock off helmets Velcro pull itself off with extended use.
The strobe tho def seems to be an issue.
Tell me more about this light
Ebay special Knock of surefires you can find the 300V the 600v the x300 and I just found the x300 with IR head too for $60! Great little budget lights
You sir, have educated me in taking my cheap and assnes to the nv market! I'm getting into NV and am so worried about waisting money. Spending 130 on the wrong helmet with out of spec doodads then just being out that and buying the ops anyway. I don't mind spending money where i need to some things really are get what you pay for. Thank you hope helping me wade thru the NV bs. My significant other also thanks you, (she just doesn't know it!) 🤣
That’s what we’re here for! Haha plan on doing a second updated video to this soon with all the other goodies we’ve found since this one. Thanks for watching.
@@OpieInTheSmokies yeah I'm trying to figure out which pvs14 to buy there's so many options and companies I'm not sure what to do or who to buy from. Wait 20 weeks or get ready to ship
@@alexduke5402 wait. I waited a long time on my PVS14 from Licentia and was not disappointed to say the least.
@@no-sway3709 i already got mine i ordered the l3 filmless from custom night vision. I'm happy with it! I just need to get a mount and helmet now so i can be a pro larper
Are there any knock off g11 mounts? My nvg have a bayonet style.
Yessir! Not sure any exact links but Night vision 101 on fb groups is an amazing source of info
With good inserts could this withstand some blunt force trauma?
Being a knockoff def wouldn’t trust it because of the quality of plastic vs blunt impact. Real deal helmets are rated for this kind of stuff though.
@@OpieInTheSmokies thank you!
Anyone tried the knock of amp arms yet?
Yes have bought them since I made video. Def cheaper plastic but work well.
Can you use j arm on that mount?
Yes I believe so
Subscribbed
Appreciate ya'
What j arm are you running?
Running the lions gear solutions machos mount. But have seen people mount them with just a J arm
@@OpieInTheSmokies Thanks. I'm doing my first delving into NVG devices and my helmet rig is modeled after this presentation. The info you shared here has been invaluable in getting me going on a topic that has a long list of considerations.
Link to the jarm your using?
Link to knock off surefire?
Check out video description it should be there.
At 2:05 why no suppressor height sights?
Just hadn’t put them on yet at this point when recording.
Why spend thousands of dollars in night vision and then cheap out on the helmet, pads, and retention?
I didn’t. I have 4 helmets. And to this day my favorite setup is my cheapest one. Run 9k rnvgs on them no problems.
Gotta get that tactical moustache goin
16:52
Because I need to build a loaner set for a PVS14 I got for cheap or maybe because we've been overpaying for this stuff for far too long.
I think the point of the video was pretty obvious and well executed. To busy licking windows rather than watching the video
Fine video. It’s your money but damn patches are cringe
Lol
Your intro should never be 3 minutes wtf Is that dude
Wtf is you thinking I care at all about the way you think I should make a video. Fast forward through it dick.
Intro is way too long
Lol there’s a thing called skipping through what ya don’t want. But thanks
Pretty sad you brag about a knock off helmet and yet 10 minutes into the video, YOU STILL HADN'T EXPLAINED WHAT COMPANY MADE YOUR HELMET YOUR BRAGGING ABOUT, I'm not sold on it because you did everything but let the buyer know what helmet brand you were supporting, but yet you were fast enough to Bragg about hard headed veterans products
You’re literally the only one who couldn’t click the description and find the link. Don’t be an ass. Try harder to be a better human. Twat
Literally 4:20 “link in the description”
@@OpieInTheSmokies Woaaaah 4:20, Lmao. It's okay he has a three percent punisher skull profile picture.
