Dont forget you can see a milky way and nebula detailed with night vision put at telescope

AwesomeR3 I remember using the I WS night vision on my rifle in the army like you say it’s amazing looking at all the stars at Night

@@neilorr9685 yeah night vision 10x time more stars at night(expert full moon)

@@detectiveamevirus8 I was lucky enough to be doing astronomy research back in the mid/late 80's. I had my dept order a night vision scope, and adapted it to the 1M telescope. It was actually much better using it with a big binocular or 120mm scope.

@@Patriotgal1 ye

Haha, well thank you!

Late reply, but what you were seeing was infrared emission coming off of those hot objects

Ethan Blake Thank you.

No problem.

Thank you.

Excellent comment.

Yes, there are tubes classed as Gen2 or Gen2+ coming from Europe that equal or exceed some modern U.S. Gen 3 tubes.

Hey mate, fancy seeing you hear. I'll be in WA next week so hope your home for a drop in. See that new gizmo you been working on.

I disagree with what he saw.

Yep. Some very weord shit happening up there

I have see things that are flat out unexplainable. On the western slope of pikes peak I saw something triangular in the sky, moving slowly but was f ing HUGE! If I were to guess likely much larger than an aircraft carrier. No bullshit. Almost every time I look up when wearing them I see something crazy. I also feel like a lot of times they see me seeing them.

Chris Jones Thanks. Yeah it was a bit tricky. I had to build a wooden jig to mount my camera to the monoc. I wish I had a PVS14 like yours. It’s not easy to come by here. Also, costly! I’ll check out your channel and see if you have any vids. All the best.

I don't have any vids on youtube. I have one or 2 on instagram and lots of pics. @chris_jones1990 if you're interested. Unfortunately the cool stuff I get to use my NV for at work( I'm a cop) I can't post lol. I recently chased down 2 people through the woods on an ATV using just my NV to see. The surprised looks on their faces were hilarious.

look up brain exploder nvg recorder. he made a really low cost solution that basically splits the image with a reflection so you can still use the night vision while recording.

Hey Chris just wondering if this version of goggles can be used during the day ? I know you not suppose to but you can still turn on and look at it right it has some kind of lens to reduce the light ?

@@zero00tolerance They come with a pin hole cap. Its a plastic cover with a small hole that allows a very small amount of light in. So you can use them in the day time for training.

lmao "cheap"

MrBtw999 , FLIR is producing night vision only to Government agencies only now ..😞

Yes, Armasight was acquired by FLIR.

Damn

Tor .Bjurlen I don’t know of an external battery that works with this but you could retro fit something. As long as you supply it 1.5v or 3v it will run. But on a fresh CR123 cell this unit will run for a really long time.

@@Roos-Reviews Thanks :)

Yes, Google armasight battery counterweight

I used to own a Gen2+ tube in white phosphor or quick silver as it’s sometimes called. And I loved the look much more than green. Some people anecdotally say they can see better with the white but as far as my understanding goes, scientifically green is supposed to provide more distinguishable shades. I liked the white because it was closer to a black and white image and thus more natural. All green gets tiresome after a while.

ookiemand Yes, red is less detrimental to the eye’s natural night vision abilities but the technology in night vision like this (image intensifier tubes) uses green because the human eye is most sensitive to green wavelengths of light, allowing more information to be seen. There are some modern image intensifier tubes which produce a blueish white image. There is still debate over whether or not it is as good as green. I owned one and liked it for being different but I preferred green. You will not see any red ones.

I concur from experience the green is the best. The wp offers no substantial plus over green but do take longer for the eye to readapt to darkness.

I find the same with my p8079hp tube , I open the lens up to leave more light in to see more stars but its hard on the eye, cant see shit for 10 minutes after using it like that. I connected a camcorder and watch it on the flip out screen and its much easier on the eyes, even with the lens opened up. Being able to record the footage the same time as well is an added bonus.

When you say you “open the lens up” what do you mean?

Ah Just meant opening the lens aperture mate.

Michael Frazier It’s hard to choose. This allows me to see much farther and at much higher resolution but creatures don’t stand out against the background as they do with thermal. The Seek Thermal allows me to see any warm blooded animal or person around me no matter how dark it is. Carrying both is ideal. That way I can see anything, under any conditions.

I would also appreciate this information.

@@danielong5334 ... and the artist is who?

I think Daniel is joking.

Don't get either one. Save the money and get the gen 3. If you settle for something less it may let you down when your life depends upon it. I bought an ATN mvn14-4 and it broke almost immediately and haven't been able to find a single person that will work on it because of bad QC on they're builds. I have a set of anvis 9 duals and a set of 31's which if I could rewind I would have just bought new housings for the anvis 9s and bought a boat or taken the family on a month vacation. Gen 3 is so far and away better than anything gen 2 I truly don't care what anyone says on here. I work with the equipment daily and have for the last close to 30 years. Didn't realize how ancient I was getting

Yes, an ipod full of S-Club-7’s greatest hits can be helpful too.

Thanks for correcting me so politely. I'm a bit confused about what you're correcting though. Am I wrong to say that the f1.2 lens on the night vision device is a faster lens than the f1.8 on the iPhone 10? When I was a teen a photographer explained "fast" to me like this: a camera lens is described as faster than another lens because it gathers more light in a given period of time than the slower lens, allowing a faster shutter speed to be used.

@@Roos-Reviews you’re correct that a f1.2 will let in more light than f1.8 so for an exposure let’s say you had f1.8 1/10 shutter and iso 100 In order to get the same exact exposure it would be f1.2 1/20 iso 100 so because you’re letting in more light with your aperture, your shutter speed would have to be faster to get the same exposure. Hence why they would call it a “faster lens”. With night vision we’re not dealing with a shutter at all. Only aperture and iso (called gain in the night vision world)

I agree with everything you said. So where was I mistaken in the video? If I can figure that out I can avoid being a doofus next time 😄

The only tubes I've tried are 3 different older gen 3 tubes (90s era), a new Gen2+ and a new Gen2+ white phosphor. The white phosphor was really cool; I wish I'd kept it.

TaureanKing you’re correct with that statement. They’re coming in from the magnetic northwest and following the waterways down through America. It’s almost as they’re getting into position for something. Getting into position in a strategic like manner. I have my opinions about it, but nobody wants to listen until it’s too late. They’re not going through all that trouble just to tell us how wonderful this civilization is either. I think they’re getting into position to clean house so to speak. There’s been ten civilizations before us that has completely disappeared without a trace, and I hope we’re not 11th on that list.

@@theautodidacticman_ I'm stacking up on guns and ammo. Something bad is gonna happen, i just don't know when exactly. I don't know from where these creatures are coming from either, if its the government doing this things to scare people off the woods and forcing us to live in the city thus having more control of us, or if they come from extraterrestrial ships with extraterrestrial beings doing experiments on us or from the north pole hole, but what i know is that these creatures are real and i think they have preyed us before because people that have had encounters with these cretures describe a primordial fear as if this thing hunted our ancestors in the past, they were our hunters, so you might be right, they're might be preparing for another civilization whipe out. And the thing is these creatures are spreading like crazy, more and more people have encounters with these beings, those who survive are left with PTSD and serious trauma, these things are not cute and do not like us very much. The best we can do its spread the word of the existence of these creatures, no matter if people think we're crazy in first instance, they will become believers soon or later but the faster they hear about it the sooner they believe.

?

What are you two talking about?

Doug Dickerson lol true

Large military surplus buyers will occasionally have some newer envis tubes accidentally included with they're auction orders. I have obtained many through guys that supply clothes and kit but aren't allowed to have plates and comms or nods per contract. Can usually get a blem free tube like this for $400-$600 sometimes less if buying several and sometimes more if your willing to pay it. You can truly put together a set of anvis 9s for about $2200 and a set of sentinels or equivalent non articulating set for under $3000

The lens threading on mine is badly designed, which makes changing tubes and putting the lens back in straight quite tricky, but aside from that I've been very happy all these years. Since I bought mine Armasight were bought over by Flir, if I recall correctly. I don't know how their gear is now.

@@Roos-Reviews Well the one that i saw is selled by someone not a company, The unity is almost new with the box and such, but its definitely one from Armasight when they wasn't bought yet by flir, For the threading its okay, I mostly wanted to know if its resistant and performant, Thank for answering.

readying up for the corona virus

No, the sunlight would damage the image intensifier tube.

@@Roos-Reviews Thanks for the reply, i appreciate it ! 🙂

You no that . using a green screen not blk & white bs to see those American ufo's zooming past us flashing there lights on & off .. Uncle Tom thinks we're all numb nuts ..

There were no lasers or flying saucers in this video.

That doesn't mean there are no saucers about thou

I’d absolutely love to see one but so far I haven’t seen any compelling evidence for extraterrestrial spacecraft visiting Earth.

Look America has no right to forbid any night vision devices But it's ok to sell arms to Syria so they make wars to terrorists that they create .. Does that make sense..

There used to be a guy in England selling them on eBay quite a few years ago.

Yeah they are expensive. And that’s actually cheap for night vision gear.

Yes it's more difficult and costly, for sure.

I got them from a guy in England quite a few years ago.

@@Roos-Reviews eBay?

Optics planet has it for $2,450 I do believe you can price check other places but that is a good place to start

John Mullally Yes, Flir acquired Armasight along with all of their NV models. Your unit is built on the same design as mine but yours is better, having external manual brightness control. The tubes are the same size. They are very robust and reliable housings.

Roo's Views what size tube? As I’m not sure of it. Many thanks for your reply

@@taseajohn4424 18mm most likely.

,🗞️😡🗞️📰🧤🧤🚪👊👊🤕🛌🏼🔪

macharadza1983 It comes in a few different versions with different tubes. I bought mine with a Gen 2+ tube because gen 3 tubes are only available in the USA. Then I upgraded the tube to an ex military gen 3 and sold the gen2+ tube. If you buy the N14 in the USA you can get it with gen 2+ or gen 3 tubes.

@@Roos-Reviews where did you get the Gen3 tube?

Alicia Lehoux I imported it from the UK. It was an older ex US military tube. Sometimes you can find them on Ebay (though Ebay tend to remove night vision listings.) and sometimes people on night vision forums sell them.

Can you mention model/type of tube of gen 3 which will fit into housing.I have mnvd40 so basically same thing but with manual gain control.Im thinking about upgrade to gen 3(mine is gen2+ hd) but frankly I don't know what kind of tube I can fit there.I don't want open it yet for guaranty purposes.Some tubes have pig tail,some just accept pins?

You’ll have to come up with a way to move it from your pocket to your eye, somehow. If you have a hand you could try using that. Good luck.

No, it doesn’t.

Or the prg defence p----14?

No, sorry.

@@Roos-Reviews bummer. This stuff has gotten popular and expensive. I would also like to find a pvs5c. In fact that prg defense p14 is using tubes from surplus pvs5c, scavenged and turned into two monocular per dual tube unit.

There used to be a guy on ebay UK who sourced all sorts of tubes and would ship to many countries.

@@Roos-Reviews thanks.

I find the threads on mine to be oddly and badly designed too. Instead of continuous threads they are separated into 3 patches of threads, making screwing in the pieces straight quite difficult.

@@Roos-Reviews it's junk imo. I would like to get it to work because I have sons that will be coming of age soon and my 31s are for my head only. Do you have any troubleshooting ideas to get this this powering up again? I hate the idea of something so useful going to complete waste.

It's because image intensifier tubes have a high manufacturing cost. I bought mine used. Old gen3 tubes can be found for as low as $500 and used housings can be found for less. Digital night vision will likely catch up to analogue in performance within the next 5-10years. Then night vision will become much cheaper.

@Roo's Reviews True but, no, brother it's the way you described it, and especially the comments re the sky at night. It's literally Merlins Magic and you captured that in your speech. Well don't hats off bro;) Not many "GET" it;)

Amazon. Search for AGM NV-14 Wolf. $1495.00.

dogboy0912 not this noticeable

Alicia Lehoux The Gen 3 I have in this is from the mid 90s and still going strong after more than 20 years and who knows how many tours in conflict zones before finally ending up in my hands. It’s quite impressive they can last this long.

Modern gen 3 Harris or L3 12000 hours minimum.

The Gen 3 Auto-gated tubes have a 15,000 hour operation life. So for most people buying one of these is a buy once cry once purchase. Treat it with care and you will have it the rest of your life.

A manufacturer. But they were bought over by Flir in 2016 for something like 40 million USD.

@@Roos-Reviews do they make good products?

Starlight scopes were Gen 1. Gen 3 NV tubes produce much more powerful light amplification.

@@Roos-Reviews Thank you 👍

An ex mil. guy stated that in 1980, the view through his starlight scope of some bright objects caused such brightness (obviously from the phosphor screen) that it "almost burnt his eye". Was that an experience you ever had with those old devices?

It's probably an over reaction. I suppose if you were in the dark for some time and your eyes had fully adapted to them darkness and then you looked into a NV scope it would feel intensely bright, just as if you suddenly looked at a smart phone on max brightness in the same scenario. Some James Bond films depicted NV-equipped bad guys being taken out just by shining a bright light like a flare in their direction and they'd scream and fall over. That was an exaggeration for cinematic effect.

Because that's the low end.

do you still have it how mutch
