I know this phrase tends to get thrown around a bit, so thought I'd write up a quick article to cover what it means, for the latest Gen3 Omni VIII systems. Firstly, civilians can't typically get true Omni VIII systems. To be a true Omni VIII NOD, it would have had to have been purchased by the...

Re: Zero Dark Thirty goggles question It's not a normal Quadeye. But yeah, that's basically what it is, or a PNVG. However,I don't think the quadeye supports video recording and I would expect that the video encryption and relay systems is a lot of what was on the helicopter they lost at the...

Re: Choosing the right night vision To the OP, you can always make a DIY system up for a couple of hundred that will give you 200m passive starlight performance. Don't expect it to be even close to the usability of a modern Gen3 monocular, but a cascade scope can be home made with basic...

Re: I've got an Autogated question..... What you're referring to is BSP or Bright Source Protection and, yes, your tube has it. From the milspec ( yes, I know your NE isn't Milspec, but it will conform pretty much to this ). "5. Bright source protection. With operating potential applied...

Re: TNVC WASP clip on Sorry to hear. Still, it's probably worth talking to Vic about it if you get a chance anyway - he might be able to provide a little more than I in terms of information. I don't know that he can help with additional info, but if not, he can probably offer advice on...

Re: TNVC WASP clip on I think any dates at this point are probably just speculation. I know they were moving towards integrating the lessons learnt during field testing of the prototypes into the final product. From what I've heard, the new version, probably somewhere around TRL-7, is much...

Re: another pvs-14 recoil question 6.5 Creedmore is just under 60,000 PSI - with that calibre round, it's way too high for safety. Around 450 G's on my scale ( est 4 Kg rifle main mass ) and is not far off 7.62 - I would not recommend it at all. The odds are against you with this one...

Re: NV Monocular +1 - I agree with this completely. You will not get a decent monocular for under $2000... And to be honest, you really need to start looking at about $3000, or hope you get really lucky and one just drops into your lap. All single-tube Gen1 and Gen1+ are pretty much...

Re: Need recommend: PVS22 or PVS24 or other clip on Hi David, Just to add to what's been said, both the PVS-22 and PVS-24 are interesting scopes. Both have relative fast lenses, which are good for all lighting conditions at around F1.15 ( PVS-22 ) and F2.0 ( PVS-24 ) Vic's comments are...
