Holosights

[markymark]

NeoWeird, when you try taking the pictures, try to focus your shot through the glass of the Eotech. I think the problem may be that your camera is focusing on your hand and the Eotech unit and thus blurs out the reticle.

I see m1371, I just went by what I have seen on their website and the holo simulator that they have. so every eotech i've seen looked broken to me, glad i kept my mouth shut .

Sorry, this was the best picture I could get. I can try to take another if I need to, but my camera has some smart focus crap that auto focuses for you (yay user friendly). Anyways, I put the EOTech on the styrofoam insert from the EOTech box and placed the box about 2 feet from the EOTech and then took the picture from about 6" from the EOTech. The picture is honestly crisper than in person, because the picture magnifies it quiet a bit, so there it is dificult to see past the recticle.

Definitely call Eotech and have them fix the problem. It doesn't look right.

I just emailed the company to see what the appropriate course of action is. We'll see how it goes from here.

I forgot about this topic, and then it came up when I was searching for another topic I posted in.

I got an email back from the company. They told me that pictures are deceiving as a camera lens can not capture the full range of the oscillating hologram. So they gave me a suggestions to try it outside and try cariable lengths. While it improved the recticle it still looked off. I emailed them back and never got a response back. It's been about 6 weeks now and I am getting really ticked.

I have half a mind to sell it and never support them again.

I have had 3 eotechs, 2 552 and a 510 . they all look like that. if they are too fuzzy turn them down. they work much better in daylight aimed over 10 yards away. once you use them you will see that they are a truly outstanding sighting system for the money. they will always look pixelated

[NeoWeird]

Pixilated is one thing, that wasn't a problem. I've used several rifles from shooting buddies who have EOTechs and they were never that bad. It was litterally a red blob that I could barely see past, even in day light aiming at 75-125 feet objects in my yard. Even when turned down to a faint glow it was still very wide and not very clear.

Even so, I am still very disapointed with their cusomter service. The first email reply was very prompt, and in hindsight somewhat offensive, but they completely blew me off after that. What if I was military trying to get my sight reworked before I went back overseas?

Here's a picture of mine for reference...

Neo,

Do you wear glasses or Contacts?

My Eotechs and Aimpoints look somewhat blurry and not really circular to my eyes, even when I focus on the target, not the recticle. Reading around I found that it was actuality my eyes. I took some pics with my DSLR and the recticles are tack sharp and circular.

[NeoWeird]

I posted this picture earlier but this is what it looks like:




That looks BETTER to me than what it looks in real life, but that is most likely because I do have a stigmatism; but still, as you can see, there is something wrong.

Even after seeing the pictures, EOTech just told me that I probably wasn't using it properly, or that my settings were too high, and then copy pasted from their website even though I told them I had already gone through all that and tried everything suggested. They told me to send them my personal information and they could create a work invoice number and give me the information to send it in and get it worked on. After I emailed them with my personal information they never responded back. I emailed them agian a short while later (maybe 2-3 weeks after) and still didn't get a response.

It's an unused unit, still in the box. I had really high hopes for it as I liked using the ones my shooting buddies have, but in all honesty, I don't think I would ever purchase from them agian. I essentially have a disfunctional unit and no way to correct the problem outside of paying to have it sent somewhere; but then again, who is qualified to work on an EOTech unit outside of EOTech themselves?

[PLINK]

James, what model do you have? Does it take AA's? I just started looking into optics (Aimpoint/ EOTech) and it's confusing. TIA

I'll probably have to do that.

I originally went email so that I could link them tot he pictures so they could see EXACTLY what was going on instead of me describing it. Once they 'started' on the process I figured everything was good and was happy. Now that they have ignored me though I am a bit miffed by it all. Of course I also have to wait until I can get a good day to call them as I usually work before most places open and get off after most places are closed.
