    Night Vision NVG Counterweight

    Hey, on a positive note they didn’t hold a Biden rally, LOL. On the other hand I guess that’s not saying a lot though since he stayed in his basement most of the time.

    Night Vision Crazy 4th of July sale at Night Goggles and TNVC

    It's on the lower side of specs with the SNR closer to the minimums and higher than desired EBI. Like Ryan said, the price per performance is fair. However, if you get deeper into the hobby (addiction is more like it, lol) you will likely want a tube with more performance (in particular a...

    Night Vision Dual 14s + COTI vs. Single 14 + NOX?

    Here's what it looks like set up like I mentioned on my reply at the bottom of page 1

    Night Vision Dual 14s + COTI vs. Single 14 + NOX?

    LOL no doubt. There's been a "time or two" motionless under cover of night shadow in middle of nowhere doing SLLS and say to myself "I think I may have a problem"

    Night Vision Dual 14s + COTI vs. Single 14 + NOX?

    I was able to finally get the Breach and -14 to work together pretty well. I used them for several hours last night with breaks in between to see if it was repeatable and it was. At least for me, both devices need to be as close to center as possible. KVC bridge with OSS set and both K clips...

    Night Vision Dual 14s + COTI vs. Single 14 + NOX?

    In my experience, in some spots it is simply best to go nods up, get your eyes dark adapted, and/or use visible light. Use a backpack with a large beavertail or a big enough pack to put away your helmet/goggles if you need to switch to a headlamp. I use the Mil Spec Monkey Boss Beaver. A light...

    Night Vision Dual 14s + COTI vs. Single 14 + NOX?

    It'd be nice if all 11769 tubes had removeable pigtails like L3H cause it'd make it a hell of a lot easier for virtually anyone to DIY swap housings. I'm only sourcing 10160's these days because of their versatility to go into any housing and that's actually what I have in my -14's (L3 GP M890...

    Night Vision Dual 14s + COTI vs. Single 14 + NOX?

    You’ll get better at it. I’ve been hiking with goggles (dual tubes) for the last 5 years or so. I used to mainly hike in the mountains on & off trail but almost exclusively on my property these days. It’s 6k ft mix of juniper, pinions, cacti, & plenty of rocks. I do have groomed trails and...

    Night Vision Dual 14s + COTI vs. Single 14 + NOX?

    I recently decided to try out HMT/NV with Breach & -14 on KVC bridge with OSS/K clip. It’s a cool concept and has its place but I’m not a fan of it as an only system. They don’t fuse together and the thermal distracts from your NV eye, so you end up using one or the other. If you’re someone who...

    Night Vision Hail Hydra! Battle of the Dualies!

    If you ever want to dial in those dual -14’s together (or any articulating NV), loosen the eyepiece lock collars, flip up one, find a bright star, and turn the eyepiece until the star is level (ETA: with your unaided eye). Repeat other eye and lock in the collars. Quick and easy DIY collimation...

    Night Vision Is there too high spec for a tube?

    I haven’t used the 51 degree objective lenses myself to say if this 100% the case but trusted sources say the glass has a very noticeable fish eye effect if you’re not perfectly centered. They have also said they produce excessive lens flaring / lasso effects in certain lighting conditions...

    Night Vision Is there too high spec for a tube?

    TBH it's getting old preaching the high spec (high SNR with good overall specs) unfilmed WP gospel on the interwebz. Some people are skeptical and think it's hype or a sales pitch which is 100% understandable. I was the same way until I bought it and used it. Many of the guys who are anti have...

    Night Vision If I had $5k to spend on NV...

    It'll be over your budget but the N-Vision NOX 35mm is worth looking at. It's head mountable and weapon mountable with crosshairs. Head mounted is much better for long term observation/scanning. If the mount holds zero which I'm sure it will, then you can take off your helmet and plop it on...

    Night Vision Is there too high spec for a tube?

    That is insane. Can't wait to see what the near future will bring!

    Night Vision Pvs-14, how do you guys rate the purchase?

    Totally agree but there are some terrible gen 3 tubes out there so folks have to be careful. As long as someone buys from a reputable seller with a solid reputation who doesn’t shaft people they will be good to go. For instance that $3k AGM 21SNR unit is a terrible buy and that tube would be...

    Night Vision Pvs-14, how do you guys rate the purchase?

    Originally, yes there were issues, however that was many many years ago. IMO, it's akin to saying modern AR-15's are junk based on the problems they had back in the early days in Vietnam. Not a perfect example but you know what I mean. I don't think I'm out of line to re-post this reply that...

    Night Vision Pvs-14, how do you guys rate the purchase?

    Yes it would. Modern unfilmed aka filmless has been in use for quite some time and IMO why not share the info? Of course our foreign enemies with technical capability (China & Russia) have already gotten their hands on it and the same for L3H's competitors (Elbit & Photonis). I'm confident...
