The N-Vision Halos and the Bering Optics Super Yoters are both rated for IP67.
The new Bering Super Yoter LRF is built really well. However, the N-Visions are built like a tank. They are also very bulky and very heavy due to this. I am not concerned over long-term use with either, but if you are looking for the most rugged product of the two, I would still choose the N-Vision. If you want to dig into these two models more or others, send me a PM and I will provide my cell number and I can supply a lot more information on comparisons on these two products or others.

Yes, the blinking will stop if you turn off the Laser Range Finder feature. It is easy to turn off. Keep in mind, that blinking laser is only visible to Night Vision. Coyotes can't see it and you will not either. I realize it is annoying on the video, but in real-life it is invisible unless you are wearing night vision. I like that you can see it with Night Vision because it helps me locate downed coyotes. I just point it where the coyote went down and it is an automatic, night-vision laser pointer. It works slick. If you don't want a laser range finder, they also make a 25mm, 35mm, and 50mm Super Yoter without a LRF (laser range finder).

I totally get it. Thermals are not cheap. Bering wanted to make sure it met their high quality standards. Too many companies rush out products and then follow them up with firmware updates because they rushed. This is not the Bering way.
