Prototypes ready
Goyojo has produced the first prototypes of the new Wilcox shoe adapters & sacrificial lenses for the GNG2K (and Binock NVG).
These new adapters are made to much tighter tolerances and will fit:
Standard Wilcox mounts, Wilcox picatinny mounts and the RQE bridge.
No word yet when they will be on sale but we're one significant step closer.

Just recieved a prototype T&E of the GPS-213 mini thermal from @goyojooptics.
So far I'm VERY impressed.
Screen & image quality is very good. I usually need glasses to see a screen clearly but this is totally usable without them.
UI is touch screen. Change color palette, reticle size and color with a swipe. Access main menu with a swipe from the top. 1-3 zoom by tapping the screen.
Comes with 3 different mounting plates (flip magnifier, T1/T2 style, RMR). 2 different picatinny mounts, one flip to side, one fixed.
The only criticism I have so far is that the "T*" style plate only has 2 holes to attach to their fixed mount, it needs 4 more holes to attach to a standard "T*" mount. A pretty minor issue to correct.
Memory and battery are internal, understandable given the form factor.
Expect a very good price point on this as well.
