Chicago, IL – Chicago based manufacturer CUMA RAM INC. proudly introduces two hot new colors, Police Department (PD) Blue and Breast Cancer Awareness Pink, to their Tactical Pen line. The Breast Cancer Awareness Pink Tactical Pen includes an engraved ribbon on the top of the cap. Made 100% in the USA, the aggressive, sleek and unique tactical pen, which has all the capabilities of a regular pen, also serves as a last ditch impact/control weapon.

A portion of the proceeds from the Breast Cancer Awareness Pink Tactical Pen will be donated to the Susan G. Komen For the Cure Fund.

CUMA RAM has also introduced several new enhancements to the Tactical Pen design, including a patented, revamped “High Speed, Quick Release Clip-Cap.” This unique feature removes the need for a neck sheath.

The “Clip-Cap” has an over sized lanyard hole that can support either a ball link (dog tag) chain or a Mil-Spec para cord. When worn on a lanyard, a quick tug on the body of the pen separates it from the “Clip-Cap” into the operators hand for high-speed use.

Other new enhancements include a Mil-Spec anodized finish and a stamped stainless steel clip.

The Tactical Pen is also available in the standard offerings of Tactical Black, Titanium Gray, Fatigue Green, Passion Pink and Stainless Steel (dealer exclusive). There are 14 different colors available in total, including exclusives. They can be seen by visiting the CUMA RAM website.

It is made from Aircraft Grade aluminum and measures 6″ from tip to tip (closed with the cap on). The pocket clip is made from stainless steel. MSRP is $100.

The CUMA RAM Tactical Pen is designed to fit refills by Fischer Space Pen, Parker, Schmidt and German Hauser. It is designed to be carried in a pant, shirt, jacket pocket, or on a lanyard, key chain or clipped to a carabineer. The finger grooves welcome a strong grip under wet or slippery conditions.

Custom colors and corporate gift packages are available.

Night Vision Optics – Bushnell Brings Color To Night Vision Optics

Overland Park, Kan. — Bushnell night vision optics are popular for scouting and wildlife watching, allowing viewers see into the dark undetected, without spooking game. The only drawback for some people is that the image has a green hue and there is a lack of contrast, so images are not always sharp and depth perception is difficult.

The new 3×32 Digital Color NightVision monocular from Bushnell solves both problems. The new monocular uses a Color CCD Sensor and a digital color LCD screen to turn night into day. With some ambient light, color can easily be detected and in pitch black, stripes of an animal are detectable where previously not possible.

The unit features true 3x magnification with a field of view of approximately 70 feet and a range of nearly 300 feet.

The Bushnell Digital Color NightVision monocular works great not only for wildlife viewing, but for night fishing, camping, boating, caving, security and surveillance, search and rescue and nighttime navigation – any time you need to clearly see into the night without a flashlight.

The Bushnell Digital Color Night Vision monocular sells for a suggested retail price of $299.

AstroScope 9350EOS-FF adds night vision to your Canon DSLR

Looking to put together a really complete bag of camera gear? Then you might want to give some consideration to Electrophysics’ new AstroScope 9350EOS-FF, which will add some night vision capabilities to the full-frame Canon DSLR of your choice. As you can see above, the module fits between the lens and camera body, and thankfully maintains all the necessary electrical connections and doesn’t impede on all-important features like image stabilization. The module itself will also give you some variable gain control to adapt to different lighting situations and reduce noise, and it supposedly eliminates any vignetting of images, which can be a bit of a problem with other night vision rigs. No word on a price just yet, but it looks like it should be rolling out to dealers now.

Minox NV mini II makes night vision pocketable

Posted on by

There’s certainly no shortage of portable night vision gear available for those that often find themselves out and about at night, but there’s few quite as pocketable as Minox‘s new NV mini II scope, which (as you can see) is almost small enough to fit on your key ring. You’ll still get 2x magnification despite that diminutive size, however, and a built-in infrared illuminator for “perfect vision” even in complete darkness.

Still no word on a price, but this one should be available from all your usual night vision retailers by the end of the month, if it’s not already.

IR-detecting OLED film could mean cheap night vision on everything

Night vision, once the exclusive property of military special forces and dreadlock’d aliens, has over the past few years become far more accessible for the everyman — even everymen with small pockets. But, we could be on the verge of a green-screen revolution if research taking place at the University of Florida, led by Dr. Franky So, comes to fruition.

He and his students are working on OLED film that is excited by infrared. Multiple layers of the stuff convert that light into a spectrum that we can see and, if all goes well, could be inexpensively layered onto anything from glasses to car windshields. So is indicating this film could start production in 18 months, but given the accuracy of original predictions regarding monstrously huge yet inexpensive OLED displays we won’t exactly be holding our collective breath over here.
