Hello All,
Now before the PVS fan club rips me, I'd like to point out that not everyone can afford a PVS unit and/or save up money to buy a set, because they're broke firearm addicts with mouths to feed.
I own and have been using thermal and NV optics of all sorts, price ranges and Gen versions for decades, so I know what this unit is.
This isn't a comparison, it's a basic review.
I like gadgets and was looking to build my own set of cheap digital goggles, but I scrapped that after I came across a pair of very cheap ($120 shipped) and lightly used Nyte Vu V60 goggles on E gads in a midnight stupor, so I bought them instead.
I was pleasantly surprised at how good they work and the features they have.
While testing them for the last two weeks straight, I played fetch with the pooch and rode around the neighborhood on a bike with them for hours every night till the battery died.
Usually three hours straight use with 3/4 IR power. The battery is 900 Mah, and that's pretty good life for that battery capacity.
No issues, except the loose headgear when tilted up and you need to unplug it from the battery when tilted, or else you'll be letting everything know your out there with two white beacons over your head.
If they last after some more testing , I'll need to adapt it to work with one of my other battery packs and probably get a new NV60 for a loaner unit.
I've read that Nyte Vu is also coming out with an upgraded version, with a better IR array and power consumption.
While not in the same galaxy as a PVS unit, they're more than what I was expecting for the price, a whole lot better than nothing and better quality than any of the gen 1 NV units I've used + tested over the years.
Some have Truck guns, I'd say these are Truck NVG's.
