Ok I tried the Dual PVS-14 system earlier this year it was nice in alot of ways having NV both eyes helped alot to move through rugged Terrain and trails. The bad part was its a heavy setup and after about 1 hour my neck feels the weight even using helmet counter weights.I went to the ANVIS-9's with Filmless tubes much better dual tube system the helmet balance is better,weight is much lighter I can wear them for hours, and performance is unreal even on pitch dark nights the image is nothing short of amazing. After many nights of running around with the 9's I have realized the dual bino system works best for me over a single Mono helmet setup in fact I hardly like using my PVS-14 single anymore. Now I have plan on adding a second Bino system to my gear and am looking for something very rugged this time(The only complaint on the 9's is they aren't super rugged design wise) and good balance weight wise on my helmet is very important. I have been looking at the BNVG,PVS-15, and 5050 and wondered if anyone owns these units any info good or bad would be great on these systems. Thanks!

Re: Dual Bino Systems
Of the systmes you mentioned, the BNVD's are a fantastic performer at a really good price. We let Competitors and Patrons run them through our Cave Shoot at the 3-gun competition. Everyone loved them. The P+ tubes are top performers in both clarity and light amplification. The polymer body housing shaves down the weight and they are rugged. They can be had in both the single gain and the dual gain mode. The latter is less expensive and, I like the ability to tune each side independently. They come with two mounting plates which mean you can use them with either style of helmet mount. I have taken them caving, shooting and four wheeling. I don't baby gear and, they have been great. Highly recommended.

I concur with Kyle and and I've worn them all for many years. The BNVD's are hands down the most rugged units out there and perform incredibly well.
They now come with a single gain control that gains both units with one knob. I personally still like the individual gain control for each.

The pictures from that cave shoot were enough to get me drooling. Binos seem to have some real advantages if you're willing to poney up the cash.

Hey were about ready to release some new products for the ANVIS line of goggles, things like a Light Weight UP armor system to strengthen the PAS. A complete set of adapter plates to utilize the mount viewer to any ground helmet.
As soon as we get though the Creek we will have all kinds of interesting things coming out!!!

Re: Dual Bino Systems
Thanks for all the info guys. From the reviews I have seen around the net everyone seems to love the BNVD overall. IPSC the ANVIS extras sound great a stronger more waterproof bridge would be a nice upgrade.
