Features:

The environmental condition of the U.S. MIL-STD 810 zoom lenses can be divided into the following standards: Vibration resistant, Shock resistant, Temperature shock according to ESS environmental specifications. We have the ability to customize your needs based on the specifications you require. The detailed explanations of vibration resistance, shock resistance, and temperature resistance according to ESS environmental specifications are listed below respectively.

(1)High Reliability:

Due to the high precision of optical products and its differences from general commercial product, we do not recommend customers to disassemble and repair the products on their own. Our Mil-Spec zoom lenses have much higher life expectancy than regular commercial grade cameras. The defective rate is also extremely low. In case the product is defective or you are in need of services. Please do not hesitate to contact us.
In terms of the warranty, we have a variety of plans for you to choose from, and we can also provide alternate products to customers. When your Mil-Spec lenses are being repaired or maintained, we can offer you free backup products for you to make sure your work progress is not delayed or affected. The reliability of military products is very important. The excellent performance of our Mil-Spec zoom lenses and warranty policies can ensure your one hundred percent job completion rate. You don’t need to worry about the maintenance any more.

(2)Vibration Resistant

As we all know, optical zoom lenses are very sophisticated structures. When the lenses are functioning, vibration can be quite harmful for the main structure of the lenses. Slight vibration might cause malfunction in lenses, severe vibration to the body structure may result in damage that’s beyond repair.
For the customers we serve, visible light zoom lenses are often used in conjunction with other systems, such as laser and infrared night vision systems. When light visible optical lenses can’t be used, this can be a great harm to the integrity of the system. This means the whole system may not function properly, and you can expose yourself to greater risks. Also, our parts have gone through the strict MIL-STD 810F environmental testing: ESS. Therefore, we can make sure that you will be able to accomplish your missions in an environment with intense vibrations.

(3)Shock Resistant:

Shock waves can be considered as a killer to optical instruments with high precision. When you place the device in a vehicle, ship or aircraft, it is not only affected by vibration, but also by shock waves at a certain level. Because the optical lenses are very sophisticated and fragile, we use the MIL-STD 810 to verify the reliability and durability of our products
The parts of zoom lenses are very fragile and can be easily damaged. For example, a gear that pushes forward a motor, an aperture that controls lights and even the motor itself cannot withstand the shock test. Our practical experience told us that shock waves can shatter a motor gear, damage an aperture and reduce a motor’s life expectancy. When you start to use our zoom lenses, all these problems can be solved because our lenses are specifically designed for harsh environment

(4)Temperature Resistant

Before we mention it, you have probably never thought about how temperature shock can damage lenses. Our customers are often troubled and worried about using cameras under extreme temperature. For example, the temperature for aerial photography is often less than -30 ℃(-4℉) , the temperature on the deck of a ship is often higher than 70 ℃(158℉), the temperature for vehicles under the sun is often higher than 70 ℃(158℉) as well.

When you use regular commercial grade zoom lenses under these conditions, you will often find that your gears crack easily at abrupt temperature changes. Also, the life expectancy of the plastic inner parts can be reduced and cause malfunctions Therefore, constant repairs and calibration may be required. Any dysfunction of a small part can make your mission a failure, so our optical products are designed to have very high stability and long life expectancy. Also, all of our optical zoom lenses are certified by MIL-STD 810F standards. Therefore, our warranty is also longer than a regular commercial grade zoom lens.

(5)Precise Zoom & Focus:

With the special design, our zoom lenses not only meet the U.S. MIL-STD 810F standards, but also have higher precision comparing to other commercial grade lenses. Professionals from the military or engineering fields request much higher accuracy for zoom and focus functions. For example, our products can demonstrate their advantages when it comes to tracking and object locking for military and engineering use. When you want to track or lock on a certain flying object, optical zoom lenses have to continuously focus or change the focus. With the more sophisticated zoom and focus functions, the target can be locked more at a more accurate position to improve the hit rate of an object

(6)Other Environmental conditions

For example: coastal surveillance, it is likely that you want our products to prevent the erosion of sea salt. No matter how complex your needs are, please feel free to contact us. We understand that you would like zoom lens with higher standards. If your needs are higher than our design specifications, please contact us. We can also customize your products according to your requests.

(7)Cost saving

Producing the rugged MIL-STD zoom lens is an extremely complex task. GEG’s MIL-SPEC zoom lenses are integrated by precise mechanical, optical and electronic fields. The utilization of these fields will result in shorter lead time and lower cost.

Quality Testing


Our products undergo a series of rigorous tests before shipping to ensure quality. When you order our products, you will receive the product certification reports. Our testing labs are all national certified test laboratories (TAF certified), so we can provide a test report that��s certified by international standards. Even though there are different international certifications, the U.S. military standard is consistent. We can customize your request by doing wide range of test and certifications.
