    Night Vision Photonis Quads are out

    LOL Well if you do, get some real head gear for it. Panos deserve better than a Night Cap 🤣

    Cool. I'm assuming you have one on the way? ;)

    Night Vision Photonis Quads are out

    Thanks for the info. You stated above that the 16mm and hybrid 18mm are not available in a commercial specification. To confirm, does this mean that the new hybrid 18mm tubes and their specific housings (such as the panoramic goggle) will only be available for purchase by Law Enforcement and...

    Night Vision Photonis Quads are out

    That is considerably smaller. My first thought is why did they produce the Hybrid 18mm that requires a specialized housing when they already had the 16mm?

    That's good info to share that standard 18mm tubes can't be used in these new housings.

    Night Vision Pvs 14 doctor??

    If it has defined edges it might just be debris. It's common when they get banged around to have pieces of the the plastic thread or other stuff end up on the tube's input window or screen. Hopefully that's the case.

    Night Vision Helmet Mounted Thermal and Night Vision. What it looks like.

    100% agree, the Mod Armory battery extender is a must IMO. I also like to swap between using the Breach on the bridge and using duals or binos, and wear the Breach on a lanyard. Trying to run a battery pack while it's hanging on your neck with a rifle slung doesn't work so good, lol. The...

    Night Vision Helmet Mounted Thermal and Night Vision. What it looks like.

    I have received a lot of questions about this setup. Here are the ones I've gotten the most and my answers to them. I want to make sure that anybody who is looking at doing this setup knows what to expect. I especially do not want to give anyone false expectations. How exactly are you mounting...

    "Hybrid 4G Filmless" And people wonder why so many folks who are looking around at NV for the first time get so twisted up trying to understand things, lol.

    Night Vision Helmet Mounted Thermal and Night Vision. What it looks like.

    I also run them flush. I set the right eye PVS-14 for use with dual -14's since I swap back & forth using the KVC OSS with the collar that allows you to move the dovetail fore/aft. I matched the distance of the Breach using the KVC K clip. The MUM rail is a little banged up for where I had to...

    Night Vision Helmet Mounted Thermal and Night Vision. What it looks like.

    I was able to simulate to a close degree what my HMT/NV set up looks like to my eyes and want to share it for you guys wondering what it looks like. Video below. It's FAR, FAR better in person and the thermal image overlays almost perfectly on top of the NV image. I filmed both at the same time...

    Night Vision Dual mounted NV / Thermal

    Alright, I managed do do this using the existing footage. It's a close representation of what it looks like. Funny part, in the section where you see a noticeable double vision is basically what it looked like before I was able to get them to overlay better, lol The Breach was in landscape view...

    Night Vision Dual mount PVS 14 and FLIR Breach

    You'll be good to go with those two. The onboard PVS-14 illuminator isn't strong enough to use it for anything other than low power IR signaling or for very short distances/enclosed areas. DIY solutions are awesome and if that works for you - awesome. Different strokes as they say. What...

    Night Vision Dual mounted NV / Thermal

    @DoubleHaul I'm running NV on my right eye (dominant) and Breach on the left. When the thermal is offset it's offset to the left. When I swapped eyes it was reversed. Regarding WN&H about higher spec vs average spec tubes, I agree while using them together the specs aren't as critical...

    Night Vision Dual mount PVS 14 and FLIR Breach

    In addition to the TOR, for up close I'd add a helmet mounted IR illuminator with a wide flood, because in some conditions/settings you'll need extra IR to help the laser. Of course also helps to find critters by eyeshine. Having the illuminator head mounted gives a more instinctive type of...

    Night Vision Dual mounted NV / Thermal

    I should add, I'm by no means "pitching" one manufacturer over the other. The D-14 could work great for you or it could not. There's only one way to find out unfortunately. The KVC or Wilcox since there are more adjustments the odds are higher that they will function better. Seeing how the KVC...

    Night Vision Dual mounted NV / Thermal

    Based on my experience I would recommend the KVC or Wilcox. The D-14 is a great dual -14 mount and I've used it for a long time but it lacks the finer adjustments such as IPD and fore & aft with the OSS collared shoe which may be necessary to fine tune & tailor your set up. The fore & aft...

    Night Vision Dual mounted NV / Thermal

    I can't speak for elwarpo, but for my set up to work I had to bring the Breach pretty much all the way in towards the -14 with the K clip mounted on a specific rail. I can see the entire Breach screen in portrait mode and I also see the full -14 eyepiece. So, in my case they are not overlapped...

    Night Vision Dual mounted NV / Thermal

    Unfortunately, like a lot of this stuff, you have to see it/use it yourself to know if it'll work for you. Just know that it is a gamble that it could or could not work for you (overlaid on NV) or that you may not like it even if it does. I can definitely see how this setup would favor hunters...

    Night Vision Dual mounted NV / Thermal

    Thanks WN&H. SkyScrapin & elwarpo nailed it on the head. When I got everything for this set up (Breach, KVC & IC/Mod Armory stuff) and after using it for about a week I was pretty disappointed with it. I was debating between the COTI (at current prices) or the Breach and felt like I made the...
