It's not just you! The Pentagon Kryptis might work for you https://www.pentagon-tactical.com/kryptis-balaklava not quite such a long neck but most of the ones that have that tend to be FR and that'll make you sweat like a paedo in Mothercare.

What specific features are you after?

You can't fix stupid.

You could also try swapping out the tappet plate spring for an upgraded one. Then you can use your midcaps fully loaded.

We live in a world where people think that polishing the pins on the mains plug of their HiFi makes it sound better. Nothing surprises me any more.

Won't fit down a stock tube. Try two of these https://www.componentshop.co.uk/7-4v-1450mah-25c-continuous-discharge-lipo-battery.html and swap at lunch time if you go full ham on the auto. Trust me, you're not coming off as snobby.

Fair do's. You pays your money and all that.

Compared to all the other variables you mentioned and indeed airsoft tolerances, I'd say it would make three parts of fuck all difference. Technical term, that is.

Well...the obvious thing would be bolting it onto an airsoft gun. Yes, you could probably use an uncoated protector on a piece of test gear that goes back in it's cosy little cover once you've finished with it but if you're planning on running around the woods with a piece of gear that costs several thousand pounds, I'd want a bit more protection.

For an uncoated piece that will be scratched to all fuck before you know it...

Extend the stock, poke the battery down the stock tube - non-wiring end first - then wind the spare wiring up and poke it in behind the battery. Job jobbed.

Define "cheap". All the small round protectors I can find run between £250 and £300! Wouldn't be an issue. The thermal lens isn't the bit you look through.

I do not subscribe to this viewpoint. They're discontinued, so they have no aftermarket support and therefore should be cheaper. It's not like they're a collectors item!

Both. Single viewpoint videos are dull as fuck. That said, it entirely depends on your budget. GoPro and RunCam are the obvious options but there's plenty of reasonable, cheap Chinese knock offs out there that will give you footage, albeit with the image stabilisation of a 5 year old GoPro.

If you have a proper phone, the USB link will connect to that too.

You could also have a look at the G&G KAC licenced SR16 https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/g-and-g-armament-knights-armament-sr15-e3-mod2-carbine-m-lok

M56 Smartgun. Yes, I'm a nerd.

Yes, @heroshark still exists! https://store1044560.company.site/ Alternatively, you could try Rain-X or Fog-X on the inside of the lenses so the sweat beads up and runs off.

Warrior do 338 mag pouches. In fact, if you want them in tan I have a couple that I'm not using.... https://www.uktactical.com/product/warrior-338-single-mag-pouch-coyote-tan-6048

He mostly only plays the same few sites that let him in (Phoenix is one I think). Doesn't matter where he plays really, as long as he can generate enough footage to convert into click bait then he's fine. He's always been quite open about how little of a shit he gives about airsoft as a whole. I did see him pop up in a couple of Savage Actual videos on YT about one of the big milsims but I think that even they got the arse with him talking a good fight but not really being there for the game so much as the chance to get some clicks.

I won't lie, I was waiting for this. Thanks for not letting me down chaps!

Same here. I cut one of the flaps off completely.

Word to the wise - the flaps in the top are quite stiff so you may end up spilling BBs when you fill it up. Try trimming them back a bit.

This.
