• Streamlight TLR-3: Small Package, Big Light

    Jul 27 • News • 3305


    Streamlight, based in Eagleville, Pennsylvania is well known for making high-performance, rugged, reliable flashlights. Originally making a name for itself by manufacturing a 1 million candlepower flashlight for NASA in the 1960s, Streamlight has earned the respect of operators across a variety of professions: military, law enforcement, fire & rescue and security.

    Streamlight Weapon Accessories combine the power and innovation of Streamlight LED Flash Lights with the convenience of being able to mount your light conveniently to your firearm. These weapon lights are not only useful as traditional flashlights, but are also extremely effective at disorienting your target so as to establish your control over a situation.

    The Streamlight Compact Rail-Mounted TLR-3 Weapon Light is one of the smallest and most powerful weapon mounted flashlights ever made. Coming in at under THREE INCHES, the TLR3 packs 90 lumens/4,100 candela peak beam intensity. If you want a better idea of how large the Streamlight TLR-3 is, hold out your pinky finger. If you’re an average adult, your pinky finger is about 2.5 inches long. The TLR-3 is slightly longer than that. As you can imagine, it is perfect for mounting as a compact weapon light for a variety of handguns and pistols. And it is extremely light- with a CR2 battery (free with your purchase for a limited time!) installed the TLR-3 weighs only 2.32 ounces. For comparison, that’s about the same weight as a couple slices of sliced turkey. This Streamlight flashlight comes in a small package, but does not fail to deliver in the amount of light it provides.

    Installation is easy! It comes with 5 interchangeable keys that are compatible with different makes/models of weapons. From a video on the product page, you can see the installation is basically as simple as it gets. This allows you to quickly mount it to any one of your firearms quickly and efficiently- you can always rely on your TLR3 to be at your side. And with a runtime of 1.5 hours at 10% output, the light will be shining on when you need it.

    When it comes to Weapon Accessories there’s no better place to make your purchase on the web than Optics Planet. With our free shipping option, price match program, 30 day satisfaction guarantee and the fact that we are an authorized dealer for every product we sell, we are your one stop shop for all your firearm needs!

  • Cuddeback BearSafe Protective Case for Cuddeback Capture & Capture IR- Protect Your Investment!

    Jul 21 • News • 3338


    The Cuddeback BearSafe Trail Camera Protective Case deals with the sworn enemy of all trail cameras: bears. It is a well known fact that bears love certain things above all else: honey, stealing picnic baskets, and destroying trail cameras. The mechanical noise, along with the odd appearance (and for some models, flash) piques the curiosity of a bear and leads to tragedy- when you return to your Cuddeback Trail Camera expecting to see where the biggest deer are you instead see your trail camera ripped from the tree, and possibly smashed to bits. If you are lucky, you’ll have some interesting pictures of a bear treating your trail camera like a chew toy. If you are unlucky… you’ll be out thousands of snapshots and need another trail camera. What good is a trail camera that isn’t pulling in snapshots of the wildlife? How can you let a bear determine your success?

    So what exactly is a man to do? The answer is pretty simple: put a heavy-duty metal cage over your Cuddeback Capture trail camera. Nothing fancy or high-tech about it, just plain old rugged, durable, heavy-duty construction to protect your camera. That’s exactly what the Cuddeback BearSafe Protective Case for Cuddeback Trail Cameras does. The metal case fits your Capture/Capture IR Trail Camera snuggly and securely, and once you lag bolt it to a tree you can padlock it to make sure no bear ruins your off-season preparation. That’s it! The install is about as easy it gets, and there’s no risk that your Protective Trail Camera Case will be too small, or too big. You can rest easy knowing your Trail Camera will be snapping pictures and doing its job, so that your hunts are successful!

    If you are looking for the best prices on Cuddeback products, look no further. We’ve got Cuddeback Trail Camera accessories at low prices, with free shipping for most orders over $29.95.

  • Steiner 10×44 Peregrine XP Binoculars

    Jul 20 • News • 3721


    Steiner 10×44 Peregrine XP Binoculars made by one of the top manufacturers across all optics, Steiner Germany are designed for high-end use by hunters, birders, and scientific researchers across the world. Everytime I blog about Steiner Binoculars I would be remiss to not mention the incredible quality and innovation that Steiner Optik stands for. Coatings to block UV radiation, compasses integrated into binoculars- we have Steiner to thank for those features.

    Lots of binoculars are made for “any purpose” but the Steiner 10×44 Peregrine Binoculars are made to be an excellent choice for any purpose. These binoculars are an Optics of the Year award winner in American Hunter Magazine. These roof-prism binoculars are housed in a high-pressure cast magnesium housing for maximum ruggedness. Steiner Peregrine Binoculars also feature a host of innovations: mirror coating to smooth out the light transmission throughout the optic, and nano hydrophobic lens coating which causes water on the lens to bead and roll right off. If you’ve ever used your binoculars in the rain, or on the water, you can immediately understand how useful that will be.

    Typically binoculars of this magnification have 42mm objective lenses, but with 44m objective lens the performance of these premium binoculars in low-light situations is as good as it gets. High magnification also typically leads to a smaller field of view. Steiner German Optiks has managed to engineer these binoculars to provide as wide a field of view as possible- an angle of 6.25 degrees, or 328ft/1000 yards. Eye relief of 20mm and twist up eye cups, along with a teardrop design that allows the binoculars to fit snugly and comfortable and filter out sidelight makes these binoculars perfect for use with or without eyeglasses.

    Once you’ve purchased your binoculars, you can rest easy knowing that Steiner provides a Limited 30 Year Warranty. These binoculars are an investment to further your enjoyment of the outdoors. There is so much beauty out there that you may not be seeing with budget binoculars- maybe today is the day to step up to a pair of Steiner Binoculars.

    Be sure to check out Optics Planet for sales on binoculars, and be sure to keep checking back for news and info on exciting new binocular promotions over the coming months!
