Most of what you can see IRL doesn't show up on camera (like the fact that the camera isn't level, like the fact it's magnified, even the color won't show up right on camera) so I'd rather him tell me than spend 5 minutes trying to show me.

and it was 14 minutes. thanks for not letting me waste any more time, this video is crap

I've got a review video that shows POV if you're interested: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nJ6Ie81hrp65Z4k.html

TTL?

@Arturo Elliott Thats cool bro is she single

What do you expect from someone who covered the serial number? 🤣

@@Dea7hWarran7 damn

instead he chose to go into detail and actually explain the differences what a shame

Thank you thought it was just me.

I'm sure you could go find a different video you like better

@@luke-te3sr we did thank you for your guidance we don't know where we would be without you.🤔

@@robzitek5963 thank me? I think you think you are talking to someone else I think.

still nightvision just not military grade, you'd be lighting yourself up like a christmas tree with this but for walking around the woods or a simple airsoft situation yea it's more than viable for it.

I was considering picking one up to mess with as well. Do you think it would be possible to change out the magnified lens for a non magnified lens?

I own one, and would also like to know a "hack" video to reduce it to x1

@@chrisalejado1396 Ever find anything?

@@chrisalejado1396 yo did you find it?

​@@AAAComicsi know i'm late to the party but are these models snensitive to Sunray damage like the real deal is?

where at?

CMOS sensor is still a micro processor, lol..

@@Stoney-Lawson, no it isn't. You have no idea WTF you are talking about! They have some similarities to RAM chips, but are nothing like microprocessors!

@@mrnickbig1 tell me more.

@@Stoney-LawsonMore about what. Do you not understand that a processor is nothing like a memory chip or light sensor? OK, a processor, especially a microprocessor, PROCESSES DATA! It reads instruction code from some sort of memory feed, then follows the instructions, reading data from specified memory addresses from RAM, manipulating data by doing math or logical operations, and then sending the results out to RAM again. Microprocessors are complex devices with registers (scratchpad memory that temporarily halds data that is being processed), ROM (Read Only Memory, which is permanent data prereprogrammed memory that contains information on how to follow program instructions, access RAM, and look up tables to simplify and speed up stuff like math. Microprocessors also have Arithmatic Logic Units, which are like calculators, to do math. Data flow is controlled by a controll unit. These are the basic parts, there are more, and some microprocessors have additional features, like integrated graphics processing. In contrast, memory chips and sensos are just arrays of cells that hold data, usually some sort of flip-flop, that can be quickly read from. In memory, data is loaded from a processor via a bus. In imaging chips/sensors, the data is actually created on site by light exposure. In fact, many early CMOS imaging chips WERE actually modified memory chips.

no

Sightmark makes nvg?

I was just trying this out more last night but had issues with getting the camera behind it to give me any sort of decent video. I would really be interested in your professional opinion on these. My conclusions are mixed, but also consider these devices are 10% the cost of a regular PVS-14. It is not exactly bullshit but the performance is different with its own pros and cons.

I have a set of-14's, but as you mention, they are way out of the range of most people. I would be interested in putting these cheaper one's through the paces to see how they stack up.

Rory Garner “to help the the process help”?? Lay off the day drinking bro

The real or the clone?

at the beginning it's on the left, you can tell by the no reflective plastic casing, vs the somewhat relfective casing of the one on the right with the dual battery compartment

Uh...no.

Yes, but it might be overkill. You would be about as well off with one of the Chinese IR lasers for a fraction of the money unless you plan on eventually upgrading to a regular PVS 14 and want to retain something which you know is going to be more weather resistant. That's the main difference between the PEQ Milspec types and the Chinese ones at this point; the issue of whether or not they are waterproof. I review some in other videos.

thank you for you reply,, I am looking for ways to support this bit of kit ahead of upgrading at some point, So I am under the assumption the more IR I can put out there the better I will be able to see using this product would that be right? Sam

Samw1121 Correct, so the IR illumination lasers used with the modern but first generat5ion equipment will look like white light through this device, but instead of triggering it to switch to color like regular white light would, it will cause a clearer sharper image at greater distances. People also use IR filters on flashlights for that. Ir surveillance cameras can also serve the same purpose, but also realize if you use an IR laser for illumination with this, then you will not be able to use another laser to aim into the same area and discriminate the illumination beam from the aiming dot since they will all appear the same color through the scope.

8digitPDX Actually no. You can see an ir laser if the beam is more intense than the back ground ir. Lasers are grainy, if you want a "clean" light look up the T20 ir conversions on ebay, by far and best value for money illuminators.

Zero.

@@CR67 what is stopping it from working? If I emptied the internals from this digital one and put the voltage multiplier and tube in, it still wouldnt work?

@@GVGR11B I don't believe your physical dimensions for the real deal will fit in the fake housing. The engineering requirements for each design are different even if the outside dimensions are indistinguishable.

@@CR67 roger. Appreciate it.

id just buy a used gen1 monocular and jb weld a mount for a helmet to it lol.

+SteamedRice123 yes- why not- i just ordered this 5X40 Digital Night Vision Telescope , i will give an updathe when i recive it www.banggood.com/5X40-High-Magnification-Digital-Night-Vision-Device-With-Video-Output-Telescope-p-996414.html?p=J031143423240201512X

Jennifer Heart where’s the update?

Right now reviewing them. I have not made a final decision on whether or not to sell these. I am now leaning against it. They cost a bit too much as a toy yet are not good enough quality for serious field use. They are kind of OK in the urban environment, but absolutely useless out in a dark woods at night, even when there is a lot of natural moonlight out.

They are available from several sellers on Alibaba, or for more money on Amazon.

Not without some modification, it is just a little bit off.

+8digitPDX like just some drimmel work?

+Willie Dee yes, maybe epoxy filler like JB weld in a couple spots.

+8digitPDX okay thanks, or would just replacing their supplied j arm with a milspec j arm?

+Willie Dee personal preference, but I would rather modify their J arm rather than modify a military on but I think the military one does mostly work.

+xtxjim xtxjim a mixed bag, they are a subsidiary retailer for Guangzhou optics but opened Canis Latrans so they could sell a broader line of merchandise. My biggest problem with them has been quality control. They will honor warranties, but you still have to pay for shipping, usually both ways.

Yes

8digitPDX whats the big deal with covering up the serial number as I see people from time to time doing that , is it something thats traceable? to you or something like that,

theman1223 It goes back to a story about a gun collector in Ohio who had pictures of his stuff published in a gun magazine and a jealous cop had theft reports phonied up on the items based on the serial numbers. It took years and lots of lawyer money to get his stuff back. He just showed up to a collector gun show in that town and the cops there started taking his stuff. He was a cop in another jurisdiction and that's what got him some legal help, but it was still a major hassle and he lost his job over it.

8digitPDX But a national gun registry is just "common sense" and anyone who thinks it can lead to the loss of freedom is "crazy"

***** We're all a little crazy in our own way ;)

Not very well, but it works pretty well with IR lasers.

How about iron sight?

Owen Bunny Definitely no, it will not focus the long distance and short distance at the same time.

Uh, yeah.

GraymanTactics hopefully your looking at atleast 6k+ on a half decent thermal. Also the thermal isn't as modular as the pvs. Most thermals ya not gonna be able to rock over one eye like the pvs NV mono. Only one I know offhand that I can use on my flip down pvs mount is the MTM thermal. An I can flip from night vision or thermal with them two helmet mounted units. Anything else thermal is pretty much some big ass handheld unit or a dedicated weapon thermal scope. So 6k+ for a half decent thermal anything less is a waste an may as well stick to a nice 3K range White Phosphorus tube pvs

There is some new thermal which is way cheaper and actually pretty decent. I have not made a video of it yet, but I got the new generation Seek Thermal camera for IOS and it's pretty good. Someone out there already has a rail mountable version of the android unit with a little viewscreen that's not a bank breaker. Under a grand.

waterfrontboss06 whats wrong with the FLIR Scout II PS32? I dont care about mounting on a rifle or helmet

I have not tried it yet but the manufacture of this unit just came out with their own Iphone adapter and I will be testing one of those soon.

Not that good at night. I sold mine and got a bushnell night watchmen. Better on batteries and much better on night vision. It is half the price of this china made junk too.

Not for anything really serious, but is a decent training device for those situations where you don't want to be handing out a PVS14 but do want someone to get somewhat familiar with controls and operation of the device. For example, ten grand worth of your PVS 14s getting passed around a boy scout troupe at night...

How do you like it?

@@jerrycobbled5167 when it still worked it had a *tiny* square television screen that was pumped up to 2X magnification. So you can forget about walking with it on. You had to constantly adjust the focus because moving you head just a millimeter would blur out your vision. I ordered a replacement after the old one broke........well........more like mysteriously stopped working. The new one worked for 60 seconds bloomed out and stopped working. The old one lasted more like several years before it decided to quit. It wasn't totally useless. It could see in infared so, it was good for checking my military gear for NIR compliance. It was good for detecting things you can't see with human vision. If you stayed stationary on a fixed location you could still observe things at night without an obnoxious flashlight. I once used it to identify the sheriff helicopter circling my neighborhood. I could see the word sheriff on the tail of the little bubble copter and watched it fly around for like five minutes before it got bord and left. Get a real PVS-14 for real night vision shit. Get this thing as an expensive toy.

Thanks

Thistle may have changed specs for their housing but from what I gather the internals are all the same, and even the real deal use a polymer housing.

8digitPDX Right thanks.

I had a rhino mount from wish and it didnt work becuase it didnt potrude out the latch far enough but it did work with my bumper helmet despite it falling off but yes that is an option

Cuz PETA would have his channel pulled off KZfaq and hippies would camp outside his house and protest 🪧. And by protest I mean, sit around smoking weed, beg for money and accomplish nothing

+blkcpdconure Bwahahaha. Half the good stuff I bought was totally unmarked from contractors who won't say what part of the middle east they were in or what they were doing there...

8digitPDX That's great dude. Can everyone do that?

+blkcpdconure get off your high horse, guy. Some of us like to buy gen 1's for shits and giggles.

+blkcpdconure Yes, you just need to find the right dealer. I can get Level III body armor that weighs less than 2lbs for $150 a piece right now. You would have to pay $800+ for something that light from every American manufacturer I've seen. When you buy something from an American company you may be getting quality, but they are gouging you because of their own high operating and manufacturing costs. You can blame taxes and tariffs for that.

Rr rr wouldn't even waste time on lvl 3. 4 or better

Late reply, but it's bad information. They're not rejected tubes they are just tubes that don't go through military testing and end up in military units. ITT has separate, in-house testing for commercial units. Many times, commercial spec tubes are actually nicer than military due to them not just meeting the bare minimum specs the US Gov is happy with.

where at

+blkcpdconure Gen 1's are great. They're like a beater truck. Gen 1's with an undetectable IR illuminator are money. You can actually use them without worrying about them getting dropped, stolen, broken, submerged, etc. It's nice having something you can actually use because it's not to expensive to lose.

Gen 1 is a waste of money. Got to at least get Gen 2+ and up

blkcpdconure

***** When you say digital are you speaking of thermal? You stated most digital NV units are far better than Gen 2 and 3 night vision devices? That statement is simply not true especially when you compare them to gen 3 units. What digital NV units are you referring to?

I did a quick google search and did not find any high quality units. Then I checked the sites that I know carry tactical equipment and none of them sale digital night vision. I currently have a gen 3 pvs 14. Is there anything digital nv that is both helmet and weapon mountable with enough aftermarket accessories?

As time went on with Canis Latrans, I found their quality control and warranty service situations to be unacceptable. It's too bad, because they have a bunch of clever stuff, but you end up guessing through it item by item and just having to assume that you will have a 50% fail rate with each shipment. That's why US based retailers of the same stuff get such a high markup on it when there is any level of warranty service.

Seriously? Do sort out the people of low character because they tend to have short attention span and just want the short path to knowing shit that probably ought not have been their business anyway, but we stand by a commitment to make certain knowledge public, although nobody says it has to be short and easily available.

See couldn't say that without going on and and on..........and on and on!!!!!!!😂
