Potentially getting a single white phos here soon and I know my current optics are not idea. Currently I have a TA31RCO with a piggyback dot. Looking into getting a Romeo 4 because of the reticle options and possibly an aimpoint 3x magnifier. If anyone here can offer suggestions and/or advice id appreciate it.

Who are you choosing today and do sales happen?

3 Upvotes

If you were choosing a company to buy a new complete, start from nothing, set today, who would you recommend to a friend.

I have become overwhelmed trying to decide between Steele, DARQ, custom nv, Apollo and some others.

I am just new to the game.

Looking for a PVS14 wp that is pretty much top of the line. Buy once kind of guy. Im hoping since i need everything (bump, mount, ect ect) i could find a “black friday deal” or something.

I feel like I’ve heard mostly all good with a little bad of all the companies and wonder today who yall feel like is getting in the best tubes and offering the best price/service mix.

Thank you all!

Tryna look at the stars mainly but I’ll def be buying a Titan when they drop to throw on the Super Duty and take down some coyotes at grandpas.

Why are the stars more visible in the waters reflection than the sky? What kind of filter will let me see the stars like in the reflection?!

Used IR device shipping

2 Upvotes

I keep trying to get myself IR emitters and add ons i need to use my guns with night vision. My issue here is I work 7 days a week in construction and these guys only want to meet in person. Ofc every one i find is a few hours away. I ask if they can ship after I send payment on these buy/sell groups and they never want to ship. Last thing i want to do is drive 4 hours round trip after a 14 hour day. Are you not supposed to ship these devices? Im new to night vision and am plain ignorant here. Or is it just a general attitude in this space?

Broken Spec Precision Mawl

0 Upvotes

I bought a spec precision MAWL and it was working great, but recently has shut off or flickers at a lower power. When dropped it’ll come back to life fully or flicker at a lower power. Anyone in the states who can get in there and probably just reconnect some wire. Would prefer not to ship it back to China. Thanks

My Budget Gen 3 Night Vision Build — Parts List, Prices & Sources

I finally got my first night vision setup put together! I wanted to get into analog night vision without spending several thousand dollars on a complete factory-built unit, so I decided to piece together a budget setup using a surplus Gen 3 tube and a 3D-printed PVS-69-style housing.

"Easter Eggs" under nods?

49 Upvotes

cheers everyone, so a post about discharge on powerlines made me want to make a post where we could collect some special things you can only see with NVGs.

For example being able to look through the glas top of stoves and seeing light throught the thin parts of wooden doors.

Love finding these things.

Side-by-side IIT comparison: NNVT 16mm vs. Standard 18mm MX-10160. Is 16mm the future for lightweight builds?

Post image
19 Upvotes

Got our hands on the first batch of the new NNVT 16mm GT6680 tubes (left) compared to the standard 18mm MX-10160 (right).

​The physical size and weight reduction is massive — dropping from ≤80g down to ≤50g. Both P43 (Green) and P45 (White) variants are available. FOM min. 1600, SNR min. 25, with built-in auto-gating.

​As an authorized NNVT partner, we’ve just got these sample units for testing and evaluation. Curious to hear what builders think — are you guys planning to move toward 16mm lightweight setups?

This thing is slick. The poors (me) should be pretty happy with this thing once the production units get finished. The flood illuminator is so good. The switch they include with it is also surprisingly nice. Metal housing and mounting parts, and it has a programmable override for flood illuminator or vis laser on the angled button.

Decided to get my PVS-14 a separate helmet setup after upgrading to duals a while back to loan to friends. Honestly the TATM short arm isn’t bad, almost feels like better quality than the newer mounts I’ve used lol.
