    Night Vision Thin filmed vs Filmless white phosphorous.

    L3 filmless WP with good specs is better than thin filmed green phosphor. If you can afford it I recommend to buy it. I’ve used many ITT thin filmed green with specs 64 res and snr between 25-31 for years. Just this year I decided to try L3 filmless WP but only if I got high specs, which I did...

    Night Vision Anvis 9

    Flight helmet as in you’ll be airborne and not just wearing it around I assume? Lol. Maybe Vic can chime in but don’t you need a certified goggle or is it just the tubes and lenses? I’m not sure if Sentinels fit that category?

    Night Vision Anvis 9

    There are a handful of different Anvis objectives also. Class A, B, & C filters and an older translating objective that is -6, non-translating lobed objectives, etc etc The ocular the main difference is they’re not threaded like -14 ones. There are some older 18mm’s to watch out for but as far...

    Night Vision Anvis 9

    Anvis glass (objectives) have better edge to edge clarity than -14 objectives and a finer focus. The downside is they have filters (coatings) that cut blue & green light which cuts into the performance in particular on darker nights. It’ll be more noticeable with a lower spec tube. I prefer...

    Night Vision Anvis 9

    I have an Anvis 9 and a Anvis Sentinel with ball detent. I use a Wilcox GSGM and an Adams Industries SAM. Out of the two mounts the SAM works better with the -9. The SAM fits my Base Jump and Exfil LTP perfectly. There’s a SAM on the ARF EE or at least last time I looked.

    Night Vision Replacing broken Anvis-9 PAS

    Most definitely RNVGs are the way to go for durability. It’s too bad because they’re light as hell. Only 17.6oz but that lightness comes a price, lol.

    Night Vision Replacing broken Anvis-9 PAS

    The ole lady dropped our new to us Anvis-9 and the PAS/shelf is kaput. Happened when she was deploying them from stowed they popped out of the Anvis mount. I'm trying to do a DIY repair but can't figure out how to remove the monoculars, etc. to swap in a new PAS. It appears I need to remove the...

    Night Vision BNVD focusing and diopters

    Do this for both. Once I’m set at infinity focus if needed I’ll adjust each diopter with both my eyes open. I’m able to tell when they’re both good this way.

    Night Vision BNVD focusing and diopters

    What I usually do is first adjust my objective to an object I can focus good on like a sign or something with sharp details. If it’s at infinity focus range great, if not, no big deal. Then I adjust the diopter to make it as clear as possible. As soon as that’s good I go back to adjust the...

    Night Vision PSA: stolen tubes

    That’d be some low down dirty shit.

    Night Vision PSA: stolen tubes

    If you’re buying used ideally look for devices or tubes that have spec sheets. As long as the serial number matches what’s on it then you should be good to go. Almost all stolen tubes or devices I’m confident wouldn’t have spec sheets. Plus, if you have that info beforehand you could contact...

    Night Vision PSA: stolen tubes

    I hope somebody isn’t dumb enough to sell their lamneth tubes after being notified or reading it on the forum. That would be interfering with a federal investigation. And a piece of shit move screwing over someone else.

    Night Vision BNVD UL WP

    That thing looks nice and tidy without knobs. Even better with the battery compartment slid out I bet. Nice rig! You can slide off the IR flood/spot lens too

    Night Vision Helmet Strobe

    On mine you just pop the front switch lever up/down to go from vis to IR. I’m not sure which gen I have but I remember when I bought it seeing a version like yours. It’s to avoid accidentally white light IIRC

    Night Vision Helmet Strobe

    Made my own with shock cord. The base has holes in it. I fed it through the vents on the helmet and cinch it with an itw cord lock so I can take it off when I need to. The Velcro works good but I’ve snagged stuff plenty of times when free hiking so prefer the back up. Nothing worse than burning...

    Night Vision Helmet Strobe

    Hel-Star all day long for me. I’ve got a 5 & 6. The 5 isn’t bad and I like how flat it mounts but I prefer the 6. It does a better job signaling 360-wise compared to the 5. The switches on both are easy to find and use. Very intuitive once you start using it. They have a bunch of different...
