Good job covering the topic. I use tire wheel weights since they are flat & sectioned like a Hershey’s bar so you can adjust to your liking. And some spare batteries.
“They go ahead and send me Mohawks, after, after I go ahead and send them money; it’s a great relationship, love spending time with those guys.” I am dead. Hahahahahahahaha
I run a large powerbank on the back of my helmet, and if I just put a little magnet weight ontop of it, it's the perfect counter balance for my current PVS-14 setup.
I got the ops core counter weight, I like it since you can choose how many you want in there. Then I put the entire pouch in the Agilite pouch. Kind of a slick setup. I’m happy with it
With the battery pack and IR strobe, I get away with a few oz from a tire balance kit. Wrapped in gaffers tape and 3M hook loop to attach on the OP SF.
Makes sense. I have a team wendy bump with DTNVS’s. I feel like I need more weight on the back to properly balance but I feel that weight on my neck. You bring up a valid point about not being used wearing a helmet which I’m not. Guess it just takes getting used to. Thanks for the info, Jon
I use 9mm projectiles, it allows me to really dial in the balance since I'm using a bump. I put them in a ziplock baggie which goes inside my TW counterweight pouch. Ends up being a lot lighter than a ballistic due to being able to put all the weight on the helmet's point of greatest leverage(versus having all the weight directly on top of your head). But yeah if you just pick up a brand new bump and expect it to weigh that light fully kitted out and balanced you're gonna have a rude awakening.
Would the same be applied to digital night vision that is able to be mounted to a helmet or would that be too light to even be considered having counter weights?

1/3 of the cost of my house is sitting on that table.
thats what i was just thinking. this just a video to lowkey flex 50k worth of NV gear.
This Valentine's I'm lookin for a relationship like the one between MochaBear and TNVC.
I use a ziplock back full of extra 123’s inside a Velcro pouch on the back. If I’m gonna add weight, I want to at least be able to use it.

The other issue is Shermer’s Neck, it’s common in long distance cycling. It’s an acute fatigue condition from loading neck muscles.
Duck decoy weights work as well
Always great hearing your thoughts on these topics.
i used a counterweight with my crye nightcap and it worked fine for me. i always used the chin strap anyway though.

Stick on car wheel weights are crazy good. And can bend to fit around the helmet curvature.
I got rid of the counterweight pouches and I used adhesive velcro directly on decoy weights.
The first thing I'm going to consider as a counterweight is a remote battery pack (provided the NVG I'm using has that capability).

Your head, your neck, and your back? I suspect you're forgetting something there.. 😂
LOL

Do you have an overview on the bump helmet setup with the panoBridge?
I don't. PANO bridge video will come shortly
Us army veteran here too! Nice!
I send TNVC money and they say they might send me something in 6 months😒

Just depends on the balance
Amazing content man,ty🙂
Thoughts on the CAIMAN BALLISTIC HELMET vs. the ops core sf?
I haven't used one, so I couldn't say
What did you use to attach the flashlight to the lid (on the ballistic ones) ?
Ps. Great video 🤙
his LOLA product and velcro
Good video. 🍺
When do you expect to get the “not nods” patches and LOLA back in stock?
I don't have a time frame for them. Hopefully soon. Make sure you sign up for the newsletter and stock notifications.
