I have the PVS 7 model. Had it for about 10 years now with little to no use. I got it out and was curious to see what signature I give off with the IR engaged so I looked at myself in the BATHROOM MIRROR. I looked at myself profile to profile and was amazed at HOW BRIGHT the IR lens looked. Realizing this may be a bad idea i ran away from the mirror. HUGE MISTAKE!!! I burned a cursive looking drunken mans signature all the way from right to left on my mint condition PVS7. NEVER AGAIN! It looks like its fading slowly and I hope it goes away. Fingers crossed! BEWARE OF MIRRORS!!!

Nods (for navigation), Thermals (for identification). You're at a disadvantage without both.

Great channel just ordered my PVS 14 From Steele Industries yesterday

This video was excellent and thank you for this video. First time buyer and working with Steele right now.

The quality is great! Even though it freezes up a little. Better than expensive ones!

Thank you brother. Great review!

It records 2008 YT quality. Night vision though.

I have a ton of low budget gear and if I saved instead of going for the latest cheapie, I might of have a high level NV of therrnal by now. I do agree even the low budget is needed when its all you can afford, but either low or high budget stuff is useless if you just throw it on the self and don't train with it.

The best nvg10 mod like pvs14 ua-cam.com/video/gBeXBSuEg2Q/v-deo.htmlsi=nR4rO3yhrUaUdvBQ

Gen 2 or gen 3?

Looks like the driftless midwest. Around Sauk Co WI if I had to guess by terrain and accent.

OK so don't laugh... I just retired and intend to go out into East Texas on a Bigfoot hunt. Maybe just some camping and outdoor fun but I'm determined to find Bigfoot!!! I just KNOW this unit will help me spot him in the woods!!

Cool video. Thermal is so much cooler imo. If there were woods with soldiers in them id rather know that

Good comparisons man. Bam, bam, and bam!

A couple of points from what I've learned. Autogating reverses the electrical potential between PC and MCP, dislodging pollutants from the MCP. It has a cleaning function. It should also be possible to "whitebox" a tube to accelerate this process. Second, unless proven otherwise, modern gen2 should be treated like an XD-4 and protected from intense sources, because the lifetime is rather short and constantly degrading. Nominal performance can be lost in as little as 2500 hours.

I researched scopes as nearly all have updated and sorted out my needs and wants. I already have an 8 inch dob, which I am selling and buying this one. I am not into astrophotography as I have a seestar. This scope fits me perfectly as I didn't want to lose the light grabbing 8 inch. I have had computerised scopes before and they are quite expensive and can be quite heavy and sometimes I can't be bothered lugging heavy stuff at my over 70's age. Thanks for your beginner perspective it really helped my decision. Greetings from OZ.

400 still expensive. The really expensive stuff just makes it look cheap in comparison

NGL, BnD Allen is kinda right. It depends on what you are using this for. If you are making the excuse that this is for "tactical" use... : ( If you are using this for anything else, :)

Rabbits cant see red. Best ir flashlight for spotting rabbits?

IR glow and lag will get you killed

4500 is the absolutely most expensive L3 high fom unfilmed White phosphor pvs14 and not necessary you can get a decent pvs 14 for 2 k if yoj kmow what your doinv even cheaper used

Manual gain: Manually adjusting the brightness of your night vision device Adjustable Iris: Manually adjusting the depth of field of your night vision device. Night vision lenses use F1.2 aperture. Apertures can range from F1.2-F22. The lower the number, the more lights can enter the lens. However, this comes with downside. It focus on small area and what ever is not in focus becomes blurry. Hence why when you focus your night vision device at stars, your hands look blurry. Adjustable Iris allows your night vision lens to go above F1.2 by opening or closing the iris. When your aperture increases, the amount of light that can enter your lens decreases but your focus area increases. So you can look at the stars and have your hands in focus at the same time.

I attached an adjustable iris to my pvs-14 and now it seems like it isn’t picking up as much/ seems darker even when wide open? Any recommendations?

Just got a new gen3 whit phos pvs14 with the wilcox mount I love it

Very cool video I had also noticed the same effect when using the iris on my thin filmed WP pvs-14 Turn the gain up but shutter the iris and it had the same effect Noise on the image increased more with thw gain up and the iris shuttered vs having the gain dialed and having the iris wide open.

Lol. this video is hilarious. Thanks for editting and serving us.

The words you say, they sound so gay.

I wonder how effective lidar af would be using ir light

The close objects show off-centre light drop off that distant objects don't. Illuminator.

Just wanna say, there are aftermarket parts kits for the NVG-10s on the market now, and it makes them actually viable！

do i need wifi and everythng at all times to run the unit or is that only for recording and saving footage ? i

Where i live its either foggy smokey or both and it makes a flashlight useless sometimes its bad enough i cant see 50yds with my nvg the thermal always picks up where the nvg leaves off

No ambient light would have been worse.

One note on the startup whine. It did actually exist on quite old IRNV for optics. The game sound is quite exaggerated but old systems would charge capacitors using a HV transformer, kind of like pre-led flash cameras, and they do indeed have a startup charge whine

Did you use a different IR illuminator, or just the one that comes with/ the nod?
