Bridging ALL Night Vision & Thermal: The SYMBIOTE

[@Vahriin]

I love this thing. It came with so many extra parts that I had enough to create a second bridge with the parts I already had sitting around. Now I can supply a friend with a bridge too.

[@austinfink5604]

That Nylon 12 CF material is the best stuff on the market! Incredibly strong!

[@My12521252]

This is awesome! Thanks for bringing this to the market. I've been looking for exactly this to bridge a ln L3 PVS14 and an RH25

[@Arkayne]

Glad to hear this will solve some of your bridging needs 👊

[@KaletheQuick]

This is amazing. 3D printing has really facilitated the kind of innovation we need.

[@Arkayne]

It truly has!

[@St.Howard]

Very exciting. Love what you guys are doing.

[@Arkayne]

Thanks for the kind words. We are certainly spending a lot of time in R&D to develop new products that help us remain free. More coming!

[@barryblacka5641]

Assembly video in the works?

[@Arkayne]

Yup! Out later this week

[@PeteSkeet06]

A really cool guy filmed and edited it

[@slipjaw113]

Looks like a much needed addition to a go kit.

[@Arkayne]

Thanks for the kind words. We can't wait to see people running the Symbiote!

[@RogueWarrior72]

This video is a perfect example as to why all my cash for training/playing goes to Arkayne versus any other competitor of theirs. As a self taught fabricator, trained GM technician, and former Aircraft structural mechanic in the USN, which all have to be creative in mindset to develope own tools, etc like Arkayne has done with everything they are doing! Since the beginning Self Sufficiency and being able to make and do everything without going thru others is the way to go. So long story short, and being new to the 3D printing world, this video, the combined intelligence of the crew at Arkayne, and everything Ethan has done for myself and selflessly squaring me away for going out into the dark has set them apart from other companies in the game! Strictly my Opinion and Cudo's on constantly thinking outside the box and making your company shine above the rest! Great Video! 🇺🇲

[@Arkayne]

Thank you for the kind words and support. It means the world!

[@99cobra2881]

Freaking outstanding that the bridge comes with all of the attachments. None of this buy the bridge and have to also purchase additional dovetails or adapters. Value added product and I hope you guys sell a ton of these!

[@Arkayne]

Thanks for the support and kind words! More and more are headed out daily!

[@macmac9371]

You can pano angle the optics with the bridge?

[@Arkayne]

Correct 👊 we have pano arms included with the bridge

[@thomaszimmerman8682]

So cool!

Thank you 👊 We appreciate the support

[@CRSTEK]

Wow.. you just ollied off that ledge with your nods deployed. If that doesnt showcase the Symbiote durability.. I dont know what does. Keep up the great work, Gentlemen.

[@shadyburnz12]

Definitely want one

[@Arkayne]

We definitely want to see your capabilities expand when you pull the trigger on one. It changes everything. Thanks for watching!

[@ar15dreaminrivera9]

Are you able to adjust for hieght offsets? For instance if I were to attach a dovetail mount on the mini rail of my sidekick 640 it would create a vertical alignment issue. It would presnt the same problem with a Nox. Does your product account for this?

[@Arkayne]

Yes. You will be able to properly align your optic on ALL axes with what is included.

[@reedjack6564]

Is there a version like this but just for a standalone pvs 14?

[@Arkayne]

You can absolutely run a PVS-14 alone on the bridge. Nothing wrong with that at all. Then you have the adaptability in the future to run dual 14's or a bridged thermal unit.

[@reedjack6564]

@Arkayne makes a lot of sense. Well done. I will definitely be looking at this as my go-to option in the future. I really would like to get the thermal and NV combination going.

[@Lychee959]

Couldn't be fucked to MJF or SLS at that price?

[@Arkayne]

@@Lychee959 did somebody hurt you? Or is that a genuine question. If it’s genuine, we’ll happily answer our reasons.

[@Lychee959]

@Arkayne fully serious. I can give you a full cost breakdown of what I would expect to pay for the multijetting and hardware but I suspect you already know the numbers and know that even multi jetted, the profit margins would still be astronomical at your current price. It would also be an objectively better product with tighter tolerances and improved isotropic strength but I guess you don't think your customers are savvy enough to know

[@Arkayne]

@@Lychee959 Solid Copy! There are many reasons for the method we chose on this iteration of the Symbiote. We weighed the pros and cons of each method, including machining our own in the shop, and landed on this process / design for the launch product, Version 1. We felt it was the best balance of cost for the customer, speed of production, and ability to further refine the design IF anyone has feedback that warrants it. We are thinking years ahead of this moment, and our processes and procedures will change. But for now, we landed on this process for the Symbiote. You pose a valid question about "our why", so I'm hoping this helps a little. We actually very much appreciate the knowledge our customer base has regarding printing. It's refreshing. Thanks for your comment!

Not ITAR regulated goods. Sorry!

[@4johnybravo]

Really feel like you guys need to get away from needing to look ditectly into the tube optics, you need to use the latest 4k Oled 90hrtz VR goggles with 180 degree FOV, and use your nightvision tubes to stream/pipe/project the image from your tubes through those Virtual Reality goggles. The nightvision IR tubes would be mounted atop or side of the goggles.

[@pug2451]

U figure that out

[@GoldenDuck0]

…. Why

[@austinfink5604]

Digital night vision has not yet surpassed analog in low light performance with low latency. Maybe in a few years.

[@ikemouser2580]

vr goggles arent military grade

[@ghostinthemachine88]

Cool but most of us have at home 3D printers now... and can manufacture similar existing files for next to nothing. Lol ....Including firearms. But to be real the entire 3D printing idea is to empower everyone with the technological knowledge if they so choose to possess & use in a law-abiding manor. With that being said.. I do like to sometimes purchase & store files because credit should be given where it is due for a really good design & I like to replicate if my personal products fail or I need duplicates. Js.

[@Arkayne]

Isn't liberty awesome! We love printing and the ability for citizens to be able to remain free, even under oppressive regimes.

[@ghostinthemachine88]

@Arkayne well I can't contest that. Looking forward to see development we need that we can't replicate at home. Cheers.

[@UraniumEagle]

Hahaha $450 for a CF nylon print and hardware GTFOH. There are aluminum bridges like the Raven that come in well under that price point.

[@Arkayne]

Does the Ravyn include: - Mini Rail Dovetail Adapter Standard - ST6 / AGM STINGIR Dovetail Adapter Standard - Panoramic arms / capability - Standard arms (interchangeable) - (2) J-Arms - Full X, Y, Z Axis adjustability to properly align ANY unit on the market? The answer is no. So it's not cheaper, it's less effective. All the aluminum options, when you add all the components we add standard, are closer to $800-900 on the market. This is half that price. Hope that helps!

[@UraniumEagle]

@@Arkayne No one is going to use all of that at the same time, they're going to get the pieces that they need for their setup. Its great you're providing all of them, and that is a value add. But I know what machine time and material should cost and I know what it costs to 3D print high performance nylons. Granted, your R&D costs must be recouped, and no one expects you to sell these at or near cost, but I remain adamant the price is outrageous for a far less durable version of what is commercially available for less (or around the same price point if you want to argue semantics). CF nylon is great, but it's no 7075.
