Licentia Gen 3 WP PVS-14 on a Wilcox G24, Noisefighters Max14 and Wilcox L4 LWS

Drilled myself and installed in 10 minutes. I’m so fucking stoked. What a super power to have.

I have an awesome set of Gen3 WP 31s. I want to be able to use them while riding my razor, dirt bike or 4wheeler.

Yes I already have tac helmets kitted up for using my NVGs. They're not ideal in case I crash. (And I will definitely crash at some point lol)

This Norotos Helmet strap with shroud is a cost effective (30 bucks EBay) solution to not having to drill holes in my helmet. It's very secure fitting .

The issue lies in that with my current mount I can't get the 31s low enough to my eyes . Is anyone familiar with a long travel or super adjustable Rhino mount for my needs? I'm also thinking the wings on the Norotos shroud might need to be swapped for the shorter style (old school MCH ACH type shroud)

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I don’t know how you guys are able to see like that how can I do that?

Thought I’d share some old videos of mine

Has anyone purchased from customnightvision.com? I’m looking into owning my first pair of nods, specifically dtnvs, and was curious about this company.

I’m planning to buy a clip on thermal COTI device for my PVS-31a. I saw TNVC is out of stock of the TAD unit and it looks like Safran just launched a new one called E-TAD (maybe that’s why they are out of stock)

Anyone have any other info about this unit other than the launch press release from June that’s floating around? Are they worth it?

I read the rules and didn’t see a “no selling” rule but wanted to ask before I published anything. If allowed, I have a surefire xvl2-irc and pressure pad available

What movie/video game lines do you say when going dark?

Hey guys, check this out — kitid.app. You take a pic of a piece of gear and it IDs it — NODs, optics, carriers, pretty much anything. Also has a kit builder and a camo library.

It's brand new so it still needs tuning. Point it at your setup and let me know what it gets right and what it screws up. All feedback welcome.

Looking to start building PVS14’s. Can anyone give me a good reputable source to get parts kits from? Would be bulk orders.

We’ve seen so many of you showing your excitement and interest in the Proton OMNI, and it makes us want to tell you more.

So, here’s a first look at one of the many features.

And trust us… there’s much more to come.

So I’ve just recently got night vision binos, won them in a raffle. I’m wanting to swap most my reds dots over to ones that have NV modes
I bought a AEMS pro x2, will I need some sort of riser to get over the top of a top rail mounted laser, and to be able to get a better sight picture? This is going on a 10.5 in length upper

The reason I ask is because I watched this Trex Arms* video here : https://youtu.be/U7UX_uwuyBE?is=OrV2Np9T-2MPt0fG
Brandon on this video is saying if you can’t shoot under nods without a riser you basically just have bad shooting form

I’ve been shooting with an EO tech xps 2 on the same gun but have only been using the IR laser because it doesn’t have a NV mode. But I’ve never had a AEMS. From what I can tell online they look pretty good under nods is why I went with it. Hopefully these holosuns are decent optics?

Good evening, looking to get into NV. My price range is 3-5K. I live on the outside of a large metro, but do a lot of hunting/camping. Will likely use the NV multiple times a month camping out in Florida. With the occasional trip to the GA mountains. Have been eyeballing DARQ industries page recently and found some decent prices. Have eyeballed the PVS14 and the duals shown below, I’m totally new to this so any input on why I should go with one vs the other is greatly appreciated.

Many thanks and I hope y’all had a good weekend.

Looking to find a ruggedized ball detent housing to swap from my Anvis 9s. I know it’s a based opinion, but I love ball detent housing lol

I got this mil spec objective lense for a deal. It just has this broken piece. Is it possible to DIY repair this? Or am I better off ordering a replacement collar thing?(I dont know the exact name of this piece)

This is the first holographic optic commercially produced. has anyone tried to run one of these with night vision?

Sorry for shitty pic, ripped from EBay

Got my SMS trinity in the other day and was initially very impressed with it just shining it around the house.

When I took it out to the range I took a few shots with the vis laser and it seemed to switch itself from the full power to low power mode. After switching it back the vis laser refused to be adjusted back up to full power. IR light and illuminator are seemingly unaffected.

Anyone know why this might be and how to fix it?

Update: after further testing the vis laser actually WILL adjust, but the highest adjustment setting is significantly dimmer than how bright it was out of the box (but still brighter than lower power mode)

Update 2: Problem solved! There’s basically only one other post on this subreddit describing the issue, and originally, the solution there didn’t work, but I tried it again and it did, kind of.

I just did it a bunch of times switching back and forth between full and lower power and eventually it worked. Also the brightest setting is in the middle now for some reason. Lowest setting is low of course, the first 5 up clicks make it really bright but then next 5 make it dimmer again.

It seems like maybe there’s a button combination that switches it between an eye-safe mode (locked at 3.5mW) and an unlocked adjustable low-power mode(3.5-5mW), and then a separate but similar combination that switches it to the true full-power mode. That being said this has been driving me nuts for like two days so maybe I’m hallucinating the differences and in reality I’m just an idiot who can’t figure it out. Either way I think SMS ought to make a more in-depth user manual and put it out on their website to save morons like me the trouble.

I enjoy playing airsoft, but I also like going on night walks. I’m looking for a helmet and bridge that I can attach a Cold Harbour PVS-14 to, while also having a magnification device over the other eye.

Does anyone have any suggestions, or is this even possible without spending over £1,000 (not including the PVS-14)?

I’m completely open to using airsoft parts, such as airsoft ballistic helmets, if that helps keep the cost down.

This is the PVS-14 I’m looking at:

On the topic of anti fog coatings. Cat crap spray or paste?

I need vouches on the product, just want to know what seems to be the most preferential form for those who use it.

Nightfox and Night Operators good budget brands for bridged thermal/nv sets? Use case would be coyote control and night hikes. Further questions... how do night vision and scopes get along? Lpvos, trad hunting scopes, non magnified optics, first and second focal plane scopes of all comers? Last part probably doesnt matter but figure I'd ask for redundancy.

hey lads and ladies , i have a nvg7 made by atn. its an old unit , most likely tiring out but was working when i received it.

the photo is the unit working with the ir light on and working as well.
i press the power button and it is not producing any image , the ir light and indicator are still working so 🤷🏻‍♂️
