American Excellence? Armasight Side Kick 640 Review

Armasight is back from dead and bringing my fellow Americans a new and fresh product that the market has been after for many..many years: A 1x optical, wide FOV mini 640 resolution handheld/helmt mountable thermal monocular at an affordable price. In this review, I try to go over all of the relevant details and try to stay away from the autistic rants that try and take over my videos (sometimes those voices win). Big thanks again to Preston and Joe at Strictly Offensive kit for providing two new in box Side kick 640's and two Ravyn Bridges for this review. Go give them a look at Strictlyoffensivekit.com for all of your thermal and NV needs. I'm not a big fan of dealers in this space as most of then are glorified used car saleman, but the boys at SOK have your best interest in mind...which is why they sent me these units to OBJECTIVELY test them without the saleman fluff we are all so use to. Also, I forgot to shout him out in the video, but big thanks to Long Range Precision Shooters for helping me with video editing and planning the layout of this video. He's going to be supplementing this video on the Armasight sidekick 640 with more image/spec comparisons with the RH25 and Nox 18 on his own video review on the Side kick, so go check out his youtube channel.
