Night Vision NVG Focus Covers: Phokus Hoplite vs Matbock Tastier Eclipse

[Cold_Bore_88]

I would like to get a pair of focus covers for my RNVGs. Anyone have experience with either of these? I like the Phokus Hoplit because it’s a full protective cover. However, I see that the Matbock are better for enhancing the focus.

Thoughts?

Phokus is nice because you can go from no aperture restriction to restricted with the flip of a cap. The old model had different sized aperture inserts, while the new model had preset sizes that can be dialed into place. Mattock charges an arm and a leg for the Tarsier, and while they’re well made, they annoyed me right off the bat because more often than not my gloved hand struggled to open/close the iris without also rotating focus. A lot of guys buy inexpensive camera irises off of Amazon that work well too.

Thanks for the feedback. This is kinda what I was thinking. I have seen the DIY options but I just wanna buy something that fits.
