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

    I can't speak for Sam but I think what he is alluding to is that NVD makes their own grades and prices them according to the specs whereas they don't do that. I don't see a problem with how NVD does it but it is confusing on the surface since they have 6 grades for their GP tubes listed on...

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

    Sam did a video on the Elbit tube grades YH (mil-spec), SLH (what would be a NVD HP+), and the XLSH (these tubes). Elbit Tube Ratings Video They have more allowable spots (6 versus 5 for SLH and 4 for YH) with 1 spot allowable in zone 1. The minimums are also lower but the price reflects that...

    Night Vision Very Close to Ordering | Yes or No

    I have a couple of these. The zone 3 blems don’t bother me and they’re both located in the same area of the tube so it’s not bad running them as duals. Everyone’s different so some might hate it. They can be a great deal if you get one with good specs. I don’t know if they let you pick them...

    Night Vision Help me spend my Money efficiently (Lasers and Light)

    The PT Switch IR/white is an awesome short range light. The IR settings are excellent. The high setting is exceptional for how small it is. I run two helmets, one with an X300V and the other with an Inforce WML IR 1 cell. Both with PT Switches. The WML is a great helmet light also with a wide...

    Night Vision NVG50 vs. NVG40 housing

    10-4. The excessive lens flaring with the optics would be a deal breaker in my opinion, which is based on what others have said (guys with a lot of NV experience). Even if you're rural, the Moon can cause issues as it is even with -14 or Anvis optics, and I wouldn't want optics that could make...

    Night Vision NVG50 vs. NVG40 housing

    I've heard that too. I have zero experience with these optics so have no firsthand info to relate. Some guys seem to like it and others not so much. From the responses on ARF it seems the optics have some other issues such as excessive lens flaring with pics showing it. There is another thread...

    Night Vision NVG50 vs. NVG40 housing

    I believe it is the exact same housing with the only difference being the optics. There have been some threads on ARF including this one with a lot of info about them: NVG-50

    Night Vision Headborne and rifle setup questions

    I don't know why Wilcox does the G24's that way where they unlock in the same direction as the release knob. I have an older G24 that locks in the opposite direction, where even if you hit it on accident it's already locked so you can't release it. It's something to consider asking when you're...

    Night Vision Headborne and rifle setup questions

    I'll add about a single -14 - for movement/navigating I find it works better over my dominant eye. If your j-arm is up to snuff you can switch it between non-dominant/dominant or the Norotos INVG and DDA work great for switching sides. Lowering/adjusting the gain to better match your unaided...

    Night Vision Headborne and rifle setup questions

    I agree. Thermal especially in the woods is hands down better for detection. Factor in the power consumption. You'll need to pack a lot of batteries to keep it going and use it sparingly to stretch it out. I'd recommend a good power pack and solar charger. They're a must anyways IMO for other...

    Night Vision Headborne and rifle setup questions

    When you're thinking for your next device I'd consider the handheld thermal like WhereNow&How mentioned and also a 2nd PVS-14 on a QD bridge like the D-14, Wilcox, KAC/RQE. The D-14 is the least expensive and works awesome. The reason duals, is you'll have better situational awareness, better...

    Night Vision UTMx SCAM Alert - Keep an eye out

    Wow. Definitely something to share for others so they don’t get burned too. Unfortunately (or fortunately) a lot of shady stuff in the industry is starting to come to light.

    Night Vision LIF Filter

    It does dim the image. These pics are best cause outcome but everything looks great with that much light. You can find LIF’s pretty cheap so best way to find out is to get one and see for yourself

    Is that because of the visible signature or something else?

    Night Vision PVS14 and breach

    From the footage/pics I've seen, the Intens look almost identical to the Echos (darker then gen 3), so I don't know if the performance will be that much better than Echo to justify the extra $$ (Intens more than Echo). I can't say that is 100% accurate however since I've never used an Intens...

    Night Vision NV (thermal) bad for the eyes?

    +1 - would like to see info/data if you have it. The info I’ve seen about it, is it can cause eye strain but that’s about it.
