I feel like I’m in school.. and I’m enjoying the class for once😂 keep it up man. I just got a set of pvs15s delivered today.
I'm saving up for Nods and in the meantime soaking up as much knowledge. Thank you for putting out good information, I really appreciate it! Also thank you for doing that pvs14 video with silent solutions , He was a big help for someone like me, a total noob to Night vision.
thanks, that clears some things up on the subject, your white board may be small but it has great knowledge!
“Clears some things up.” I see what you did there. ;)
Easily the most informative NVG UA-cam channel out there. Good info
Bro ive been spending soooo much time listening and learning about nvg life from you.Sub forever man and hope to take a class some day for sure Thank you man!
Moondog Swift Ocular Adjustment Cap (SOAC) Mini for PVS-14 style NVG’s may be a better, more cost effective alternative to the Tarsiers. They thread on, have screw on sacrificial lens easy to replace, and the cap ring simply rotates to adjust. No throw arm. Sturdy and very good quality for $55. Also, comes with plastic lens cap to protect sacrificial lens.
I was just researching this, thanks!
Awesome video! I love my Tarsier. I still keep my NVG in a pelican box when not in use. I dont want to mess up the tube as Tarsier doesn't close all the way.
I'm loving the info even though I don't have NVGs, it's very interesting 🤙
It made sense. Great takeaways.
Cold Harbour Supply sells a screw on protective device (CHAD) that is cheaper, more protective (polycarb rated for UTM/airsoft w/ limetime warranty, vs glass) and has better/more secure attachment. Made in Canada, compatible with all mil-spec objectives including PVS-7, PVS-23 (F5050), DTNVG, Katana, LLUL-21, Proton, DTNVS, BNVD-1531, PVS-31C etc.
I use a full power peq or Mawl c1+. Mawl is the way to go. Trust me I have several civi lasers, and its like comparing a 60 lumen incandescent bulb vs a 600 lumen led.
Yeah, the flip up scope covers for 1/15 th the price of the others works quite well.
I am a videographer by trade. Sometimes paying more for equipment in warranted, BUT in this case it is not. A 1/24" on butler creeks is NO less in quality for the objective goal (no pun intended) than paying more for an actual tarsier. AND you can just flip em out of the way as oppose to dialing the tarsier, which is the same you would have to do with the focus knob anyways.
I agree! I'm a Commercial/Indusutrial Photographer. While I understand the need to adjust DOF, I just dont see people running around flipping the appeture closed and back open on a constant basis. Fixing is a possible 250 per unit solution for 15 dollars in mostly plastic? Yeah I know everyone has the right to charge as they see fit I guess. However, I think I will stick with my factory included daytime caps. They do the same thing that folks want to achieve with the premium priced focus caps.
I might invest in making a set. I could get my buddy to mill the adjustment slots into each cap I guess for a cleaner look.
Thanks for the info for sure
1/4-inch hole in the cap for an objective lens seems pretty large, I wouldn't recommend that with a tube that is non-auto-gated.
It's a pinhole for a reason. Just enough light to enable you to see out the front, for focusing etc, but not wide enough that the light entering the tube could damage it.
I keep my nvg's in a box with the cap on aswell
Will the Tarsier’s fit my PVS 31’s I have coming? Awesome video Jon, I wondered how that all worked!
They have ones specific to 31s
Great info here!
Ive heard from dudes running binos that you can have one lens with the aperture all the way open, and your second one you have the 5.56 pinhole, you kinda get the best of both worlds as your brain translates data from both and overlaps them.
Depends on the person, environment, and situation.
Video Suggestion: Physical Fitness related topics that you would like to share or have an interest in. *Insert picture of thiccc neck bro
Also maybe some tips on how to move with night vision while running, climbing, going prone, etc.
excellent info, thank you!
Jon what size BC flip caps fit the PVS14? I’ve seen so many answers from different people I don’t know which one is the right answer. Great video, it explains a lot!
09A
I use 09A but it depends on your lens assemblies that you're using. So measure them and check out the sizing chart
What about GPNVGs? I found the 09As to not fit
You recommended using a MAWL if going with the smaller apertures...if I were using a MAWL, I would just use the IR laser instead of passive aiming with the red dot. Am I missing something?
You are missing something, passive aiming is when you are using zero supplemental illumination. So you wouldn't be using a mawl. If you're using the small aperture, then you may need to use a mawl or supplement the environment with ir illumination depending on what the environment gives you.
Do some people run with 1 tube with a narrow DOF and the other eye with wide DOF to try to get their brains to get the best of both worlds?
Yup. Some do. It works, but depends on the environment you're working in.
@@KineticConsulting When I get my life sorted out I'll have to take a NV class with you next year.
Will the 5.56 stamp still work on a 14?
Lol yes
Not related to the topic per say, but I have some light scratches or something on the back lens of my pvs14 from previous owner. Will that ever be an issue or, as long as I keep them clean and dont scratch them more, will they be ok for long-term use?
Should be fine
@@KineticConsulting perfect. Any general tips for cleaning dirt, debris, and fingerprints off lens without scratching? (Would a micro fiber cloth suffice?)
@@nabby119 I clean them the same way I do a scope. Brush debris, wipe away crap with a micro fiber and then coat it with cat crap for anti fogging.
@@KineticConsulting thanks for the info!!
Will you be reviewing the Wilcox Raid ?
When I get mine in and have had time on it.
Learned this in 1996 at the Jungle Warfare School in Panama. Yes! These can be bad for your NVGs.
HOPLITE NVG FOCUSING COVER do the same don’t they? If so they wayyyy cheaper
Similar, but not the same
