CHEAP NIGHT VISION
 Used Night Vision is a  much cheaper option, to buying a newer unit we don’t second-guess buying used cars… why spend  thousands of dollars more than have to???
 There are people doing business and companies in the used market for Night Vision that you can trust one of these companies that I have found is THE GOON-IES AT SUNSET LLC
Check out their Facebook page give them a like if you get anything from him, please tell them the IowaGuy sent you. Thanks

Omni 7 Night Vision

Omni 7 L3 Thin Filmed Gen3 pvs14 brief overview. NOTE- lighting was shit for the most part, but in keeping with my motto, I would rather show you a video of the worst conditions, then prop up the content with bright conditions. Plenty of guys out there make “pretty videos” to watch popcorn to. I’d rather keep my content RAW. Keep in mind this is a sample size of (1) no tube is the same especial...

Jerry-31 BNVD… VERY DARK NO MOON NIGHT IN IOWA #IowaGUY
Nice!
They don't have auto-gating, right?
I’ve heard yes and no, they have some type of protection for sure it may not be the traditional type of autogating but it presents the same way when using them compared to the Gen3 units I’ve used. Tubes are very robust, they handle white light very well as far as durability with a bit more lens flare than carson glass.. and the addition of chromatic aberration which can be minimized by adjusting the gain.
Nice shooting star in the video
two quick notes. Those arent actually blems you pointed out in the tube. Those are actually specs of debris/dust inside the device. If youre ballsy and can repurge the unit...you can easily clean that out. Secondly, im not sure what they told you about that front objective lens but that looks like a Chinese objective. They have a look to them, sadly its not a mil spec lens
Is purging not just filling the unit with inert gas? i wouldn't think that would be necessary, to get dust out it should be fine to just take out the tube and use an air brush to blow anything off of your input and output windows as well as properly clean the inside of the lenses
You make the best night vision videos! Keep them up!
Looking at the lenses, they kinda look like from CK Optics Pvs 14 objective lenses. Which is know to have a little blur around the edges.
What section of Iowa r u n ?
East central
Hi Can you share more details about your JERRY-31s? Really interest what different beteween J31
Greetings from Chile in South America. Thank you very much for your content. Unfortunately, night vision devices are very difficult to obtain in my country, and content like yours helps make a good decision when purchasing one
The goonies at sunset is awesome
Do you have any idea about the new Infiray's Jerry 31S?
Very cool video. Way to take advantage of the elements at the time. Keep up the good work.
Awesome vid! Is this through the Jerrys?
I bought a pair of Jerry-31s because of your videos and we watched the northern lights with them last night with my family. Thanks for recommending them and making videos on them. Thanks to you, we were able to enjoy the aurora borealis unlike 99% of the population. Truly a religious experience. Thanks!
That’s awesome, what do you think of them?
@@IowaNVGuy The Jerry’s are my first pair of nods and my sole interaction with them as well. Having a sample size of 1, I think they’re stellar. A few nights ago on a 0% moon night and 40 miles from the city near Mt. St Helens in WA, they performed amazingly and I was able to run and gun and drill with passive and active aiming alike. Even with virtually no ambient light, indoor performance is good enough to navigate unfamiliar areas and see enough to see in dark corners. The Jerry’s are surprisingly capable and in my opinion from watching videos, closer to Gen 3 than most people think.
Those streams are crazy in real life... Watched them also through NVT-4 tubes!
Stupid fast,… makes you feel like earth is just falling through space.
@@IowaNVGuy We actually do! And that's the mind boggling part. You can literally see the force the sun sends to earth. Visualized. It really makes me realize how tiny we are. And I'm glad we're here to see it with our own eyes!
I saw these yerterday we took a picture of it with night vision and it looked beautiful with pink purple blue and red in it that's why we should look more at the beautys of the world
I have to admit that for a Chinese goggle that costs 1/3rd of what other NV costs the image looks pretty decent
Basically a Wp Omni7… is what it feels like
Great video IowaGUY! Would you be interested in reviewing the NVG30?
Yes I would, I don’t have one of them at this time though.
Is there a way to connect with you more privately?
Nice to see another fellow iowan on here. Ive been lookibg into getting some of these. Wish i had buddies closer that i could try them out beforeni buy them. Lol
Debating on selling my gen 3 white phosphorus pvs 14 and adding a bit and getting these. Just to have binos with caddy functionality at this price point.....I'm gonna wait just a little longer to hear more end user reviews
do you get to hunt with NV in your state? If so, how has it been?
I can ,… no lasers or lights though. So I use thermal.
Used pvs14s can be lower than 1500$ too And printed housing nvgs even under 1k (but gen2+ than)
Thanks for the video. I love everything night vision.
I just bought two nvg30s and called it lol. They do actually do night vision things and are on par with old gen 2 analog. I dont care what anyone says in the night vision community. I have done running and gunning with them. Id say they're very close to the opsin but with less features obviously but also 2 units costed me 900$. Latency is not an issue whatsoever. Lights and darks have no delay. FPS lag is not really that bad either. Its got a small amout but its totally manageable. Hate me i dont care they work ! No IR needed even in overcast and starlight. They still work.
I have an NVG30. It is about equal to the gen 2 PVS-5 I used in the military in the late 90's early 2k's. When I think about what SHTF in my area might be like, most if any of the people I will cross will not have any NVG tech of any kind. Even a Sionyx Opsin or the NVG30 or even a NightFox or "NightOperator" will be a HUGE advantage here. I really don't see me, in this area, facing off with elite forces with top gear, or any gear at all.
Must be nice to be rich.
My friend I’m by no means rich… I don’t care if you work at MacDonalds anyone has the ability to save money. 2k is a lot of money… but it’s also a lot less than 4k.
Don’t be a crybaby. You want it? Make it happen.
@@declineofthewest.True
@@declineofthewest. I made it happen on a decently normal salary. Couldn't be more thrilled. I love the unit. I do live in the EU, so the prices are way higher and I could only get an Echo+ PVS-14 for a "decent" price.
Its called a flashlight. Cheap nightvision. Guess what i can see in the dark? You wearing night vision because you have glowing green on your face. Lol
Others can also see the beam from the flashlight you're referring to, and also has a hellava lot more signature than the green glow from uncovered NVGs.
did you put yourself on that wall? hope not, you don't seem useful. Its clear you have zero time with nods on
eyecups or facepaint lol
Tell us you're poor without telling us you're poor.
That look like my PS-14 HPT 2+ from ATN over 10 years ago. Not much has changed
Considering it's gen2 tubes that makes sense.

Their website says, "We are taking your cookies and aggregating them and if you try and stop any of it then our whole site disappears, screw you." Remember, if the product is too cheap then you might be the product. Let's say we give the benefit of the doubt, and maybe this isn't the whole truth. Maybe they are just a small company that doesn't know that they should have options for cookie preferences. Unfortunately in 2024 you'd have to make a site this way one purpose, with extra work. I tested it with Brave browser and if you have even basic shields on then the whole site doesn't work. More of UA-cam works with shields on than gooniesafterduskbunnies
It is cheaper, but we have different ideas of what cheap means.
It’s relative. For real night vision, and a place your not gonna get scammed. Good deal
@@IowaNVGuy bit much for me, but I'm just smelly walmart deplorable 😉
@@nagaviper1169 save that money buy it piece by piece. Once you get the mount helmet it will be easier to save for the Night Vision.
@@IowaNVGuy 👍
I have several digital units and two tube units. There is no comparison. Even the cheapest functioning PVS14 will by far outperform any digital night vision.
For $2000
Full set up for 2k - can’t beat it.
Saw a gen 3 2000+ FOM green phospher on optics planet yesterday
Love buying used :3 Picked up a dual tube gen 3 white phosphor, 4200 bucks. Place literally had a dude in a shiesty trying to sell his "Accordion I be playing man". Had 2 grand in cash in my pocket, lol. I cracked part of the housing by overtightening 🙊, but it works :)
Oh and when I called the place, I heard "Oh yeah we have a white phopshor one" and I asked how much, and they said 4k and I was so disgusted, then I asked how many tubes there were, then I was interested.
Did it have gen3 tubes?
@@ID-9999 Yes! elbit XLSH
Hey thabjs for hooking us up with this. I'm only commenting to bump the video in algorithm
How do you like the jerry 31
For what they are there good. I have thermal also. I use the j31s to move around drive ect… they work well for that. New unit 10yr warranty from Steele industries. Otherwise I would have gotten a used set of RNVGS for same price with omni7 green. The Wp is easy on the eyes also.
Also check my channel… I have a review and more footage through them.
@@IowaNVGuy This is perfect I was just about to ask if you would prefer the j31s or used binos. I really hope the jerrys stay in stock for a few months until I feel comfortable enough with how much im leaving in my savings
Chinese Gen 2+ ITTs are actually really good!
Have you been able to try them yet in, little to no moonlight and or overcast conditions yet? If so, how do they perform? I've heard they can reduce quite a bit of light transmission.
Yes there a video on them, Omni 7 vs NVT 4 the Omni 7 in the video has both plain and with LLI filter in very dark conditions.
Fellow Iowan here. Went ahead and snagged a pair of j31’s yesterday, my entry into NV. Watched all your videos regarding it and god knows how many other before pulling the trigger, decided to go through Steele because of their in-house cq check. I’ve got realistic expectations but I cannot wait.
10 year warranty on it to… 1 from factory… 10 year from Steele. Great choice!
Which one would you recommend, white or green?
I prefer white,.. for me it is easier on the eyes. I definitely feel eyestrain when I’m using green.
Even though I know how night vision works it's still like magic to me
I have some knock off Crye pants. They are totally fine under NV, some other “American” camo I have lights up like a Xmas tree 😂
Hey I noticed a recording device on your right objective lens of the Jerry which one did you go with?
Unobtainium gear ANVRS- MK3 i’m going to get a video out on it here eventually. So far I haven’t used any video yet from it.
@@IowaNVGuy which bracket setup did you go with. I figure for 100 bucks why the hell not.
@@SSAKRAZY for the J31s the universal mount combined with the ranger band that comes with.
@@IowaNVGuy sweet got my shipping confirmation earlier today have a GP set of Jerry 31 in bound! Thanks for all the great information.
LOL, thats the Cedar river. I recognize that spot. I'm from Minneapolis but I visit the in laws in Iowa sometimes,. Next time I'm down there we should connect. I have a set of Vypers with 2600 FOM Photonis 4G tubes that will blow your mind. I also run two PVS14 Omni 7's which are high spec bridged on a pano that many like. Last night shoot up here we compared my photonis to a high spec L3 tube in very low light and only noticed a very small difference in detail out to 100 yards. Everything else was the same. Good to see you comparing NNVT to Omni's. People trash on anything that isnt what they owned due to purchase justification ego trips. NNVTs are very usable. Lots of guys run them in our night shoots. We had 40 guys last month hehe. So we compare all sorts of tubes and LAMs.
I’ve used 2600 FOM elbit 14 before that’s as fancy as I’ve seen. I’d like to get my hands on some truly high spec stuff at some point. Even if only to review. But at the same time that’s what everyone has content on.
The difference doesn't seem to be that big in this video. What's your personal experience? Can you do a test like this in low light?
There’s a video up now for exactly that. Well lit to extreme low light.
Nearly no difference. But glass quality is worse on jerry devices. ECHO+ would outperform every OMNI 7 and NVT-4 tube. By a long shot.
Omni tubes are great deals, I just don't really like the low contrast GP usually probides.
Man, I really appreciate the video, I think I’m sold on the Jerry’s just because I’m gonna be hiking more, and it looks like those are gonna be way easier to pick up contrast between branches and sticks and trees and stuff. The Omni seven is definitely way more clearer and better to look at. And since I’ll be buying the Omni seven duels from a private seller, I would be getting a better warranty with the website/company probably and they’ll hold value better then 1431 housing i think. I enjoyed that purple filter. I know it’s a lot different in person, so how dark was it on the first video? I think it was or maybe the second got really dark compared to the other two
Second location next to the river was vas very dark, and the timber was even darker yet! If there were leafs on the trees that would’ve been the most extreme low light you can get without actually black boxing them in a house with no windows, and no lights.
awesome man love the video, will you be doing a comparison between the Jerry’s and these? jerrys can have a 1600 fon which would be very close FOM, not sure what yours was ill go take another look at that video tonight do some more studying. thank you for the video !!
That comparison vid is up.
@@IowaNVGuy hell yeah man, ill be watching it soon, you are the MAN!
What thermal were you showing at the end? Also, are the NNVT you were showing the Jerry-31 you've shown in other videos?
Thermal is a AGM rattler TS25-384 NNVT-4 was the same from the jerry 31
Great video!!! Thank you so much for it!!!
Great video! Exactly what I was looking for.
