The Burris Shotcam: Video Evidence from Burris Tactical

Jun 9 • News • 3387

The next time action happens, relive the moment with a ShotCam from Burris.  Have you ever experienced a thrilling hunt, or a brilliantly planned surge into an enemy base?  Have you saved your brigade from a bum rush of attackers with pinpoint accuracy and excellent execution?  Those moments are what law enforcement professionals and military personnel live for, and such action deserves to be relayed and detailed through more than just words and emotions. It is not every day that a video camcorder can be present during situations like this, but now the arena has changed.

The Burris ShotCam can record every frame of that very moment where all of your rigorous training came into play.  The moment you unsheathe the Shot Cam from your holster, it automatically begins recording crystal clear digital video and audio of your highlighting engagement.  Every visual detail, sound, and reaction is documented for later analysis and critique.  Not only does the Burris accessory provide possible training video, it also protects the liability of the personnel at hand.  The encrypted video can be used as evidence to support the actions of the man or woman behind the gun, further justifying their governing instinct. If adversaries succeed in escaping, then the Shotcam makes sure that they are later identified and brought to justice.  Burris tactical made sure that even after unmounted from a weapon, the gun accessory remains recording. 

Burris Optics provides weapons trainers a whole new platform from which to educate and demonstrate handling and skilled shooting. Using the recoil-activated still photographs, a trainer can better assess a shooter’s posture at the precise moment of fire. On a computer, the trainer can then show the shooter the effects of proper or improper shot execution. 

Powered with an ultra-bright LED tactical illuminator, the Shotcam flashlight provides over three hours of 120 lumen bright light.  The camera is a surprising 3.2 Megapixels and can be operated manually or upon firing.  The Shotcam also has the ability to be paired with its glock holster and the Burris Tri-Rail mount to complete your ultimate setup.  If you need it, OpticsPlanet.net has it.  Stay tuned to OpticsPlanet Blog for more on Burris riflescopes, Burris binoculars, and more.

Sunglasses are not just a fashion accessory

Jun 8 • News • 3470

We all know its important to wear sunglasses to protect our eyes from glare and UV (ultraviolet light), right? Unfortunately, many of us choose our sunglasses with only a cursory glance at the safety label. The first thing most people look at is whether the sun glasses look cool and stylish. We all need a lesson on how to buy sunglasses, because just focusing on sunglasses that look cool is a lot like smoking. Sure you might think you look cool today, but the long term damaging effects will, in the end, make you wish you had made different choices in your life. The good news is you don’t need to wear a patch or get hypnotherapy to break this bad habit. If you practice good sunglass buying habits, your stylish sunglasses addiction can be a lifetime obsession.

You can still buy designer sunglasses, even cheap sunglasses so long as they are also UV protective sunglasses. The American Academy of Ophthalmology has declared June as UV (ultraviolet light) Safety Awareness Month, and has offered some great advice on buying sunglasses that will protect your peepers for years to come. The best sunglasses are ones that have 100% UV protection. Make sure the sunglass lenses offer protection from both UVA and UVB rays. Whether they are prescription sunglasses, fashion sunglasses or sport sunglasses, 100 percent UV protection is of critical importance.Ideally, you also want to select a pair of sunglasses which are large or wrap around the temples to prevent sunlight from entering your eyes from the side.

Damage to the eyes can happen any time of the year, not just the summer months and not just on sunny days. Polarized sunglasses help with glare and are most commonly used with golf sunglasses, tennis sunglasses, motorcycle sunglasses, ski sunglasses, fishing sunglasses and other sporting activities. The best sunglass lens type for cloudy days are photochromic sunglass lenses. Photochromic sunglasses are light adjusting sunglasses, also known as transition sunglasses, which become darker when more light is shined and lighter when the sun goes behind the clouds. Although these sun glasses may sound exotic, they can be easily found at the top manufacturers like Ray Ban, Body Specs, Wiley X, and Serengeti.

Another issue that most of us pay far too little attention to is insuring that our children are wearing properly protective kids sunglasses. Don’t just pick up any pair of cute sunglasses at the drugstore or toy store. Uv protective Children’s sunglasses, even infant sunglasses, are available and should be used to protect your child’s eyes from potentially blinding eye disease.

Our eyes are delicate and we only get two of them. Follow these tips on buying sunglasses and you and your eyes will have a long and happy life together.

Nitrogen purged, waterproof, and O-ring sealed, these are the binoculars to use when concealment is the criteria. Moving up in objective lens size, the ATN 7x50C Omega Class binocular has a built in illuminated compass to keep complete tabs on your bearings at all times. The military binocular features multi-coated optics for superior light transmission and an individual diopter focus for clearer images.
