Aspis for Leupold LTO

Hood

CNC Machined out of 6061 Aluminium and anodised in black.

Shield

• The thermal lenses are protected by a 5mm tall 6061 Aluminium mesh.
• This is one of the few viable alternatives to the expensive sacrificial lenses.
• The holes are 5.9mm in diameter and they prevent an airsoft BB reaching the lenses.

Compatibility

1. Leupold LTO
2. Leupold LTO HD
3. Leupold 2 LTO
4. Leupold 2 LTO HD

Clarity test

Unnoticeable and insignificant effect on the image quality.

Without Aspis	With Aspis

Impact test

The Aspis will act as a sacrificial shield, protecting the thermal lenses against a single airsoft BB impact.

Due to the unknown force of a possible impact, we recommend replacing the Aspis after it is hit as its structure might be affected (similar to how a bump helmet should be replaced after a fall/hit)

In our torture test, the Aspis shield (metal mesh) was strong enough that it resisted multiple impacts of a 0.28 grams BBs traveling at 90 m/s (~1 joule), protecting the material behind but compromising its structure.
