The combination of laser & Illuminator is about all you need for NVD shooting & hunting. The lack of visible laser doesn't hinder usefulness at all, & the benefits are that it can keep a lower profile than the likes of the DBAL-D2. Since the Illuminator is onboard, this could be run standalone on a night hunting rifle, provided that you didn't care to have a backup white light.Pros:Cost SimplicityRuggednessLow profile & light weightMount is QDSwitch locationCons:Illuminator lacks very long throwThe plug for remote switch isn't very secure with Surefire switchesMount does have some flex (point of impact changes) if you press too hard on the onboard button.Overall a great unit, good price for the features & reliability.

I am real happy with the overall experience with my purchase. I ordered through Optics planet(real quick shipping!) The green pointer laser stands out better and further than red(day or night). Nice solid clamp. I recommend if going with a red dot sight, get a 1/3 cowitness mount to optimize field of view on the optic. Picture shown is absolute cowitness Scalarworks, with Trijicon MRO, with DBAL I2 in the background. I wish the switch in the back had more distinct clicks for switching between off position, IR, and laser pointer. The clicks feel a little cheap, but the rest of the unit is built rock solid!! Real good price for this device. I own the red laser version(I2) and never had a problem with clamping or operating!

A major reason I purchased this product was Steiner reputation for quality and their extensive experience of supplying these type of devices to US combat forces/special forces.

I recently got night vision and needed to get a IR laser for my AR when my buddy told me about the DBAL-I2. He showed me his, and i was instantly hooked. I first used it at my property at 100 yards and wow it was crisp. Only took a couple minutes to sight in, and the illuminator lite up the target perfectly as well. The IR laser could be seen for 400+ yards but didn't shoot that far yet with it. I Love it and would recommend it to everyone.

Bought the 9003 and love it. Just wished there was a deal for the purchase of two.

Just got my DBAL i2 yesterday, and already have it mounted and sighted. I purchased the green visible laser version. The visible laser is clear and very bright. The IR beam is also bright but does not produce an excess of bloom in NVDs. Great looking unit that seems very well made. Make sure to follow the directions when you sight it in! Battery compartment cap can be tricky to reinstall once you put the battery in...I find that one finger applying pressure on the cap and the other hand screwing it in works well. All in all very much worth the money.

Awesome product but it took three tries to get one that functioned properly.

Purchased an early release model.Excellent craftsmanship and kudos for the return to zero precision on the clamping mechanism. One glaring disadvantage is the mutually exclusive mechanisms for visible and IR. The IR laser cannot be zeroed during the daytime. The easiest method is to zero the visible laser during the day and then cowitness the two dots by using your NVD. Or, use an Aimpoint or EOTech to zero during the daytime and then cowitness the IR laser in the dark to the NV setting of the reflex sight.Another issue is the different adjustment mechanisms. Being able to adjust elevation and windage with the knurled knobs is great, but then having to carry and juggle a screwdriver to use the opposite slotted adjusters does not make sense.There are two IR settings on mine (HI and LOW). Both produce the same power output (<0.1mW). ).1mW is powerful enough with NVD's and in fact the military versions are often too bright and flare in the NVD.Like I said, well made, works, but has a couple of designer flaws.

I purchased this unit from a fellow officer as part of my updated/interstated kit. This is a prices of equipment than while possibly redundant, is one of those items you'd rather have when the need arises. The IR component is good for marking potenyltial threats for fellow team members without disclosing your position. The visible laser is great for threat de-escalation and redunancy in the event my primary red for optics fails at an inopportune moment. All in all, a worthwhile piece of equipment.
