Love seeing the design improvements and innovations.
They're saving the onboard power quad for their in house device. Calling it
Nocturn is the future.
6:05 just checked this morning and the price on the Katana Molded housings has went up to $1750-1800..
Amazing video and news from Nocturn!
Super video - as always by the crack team at CHS. You have to admit, they do great work!
By the way, for those people/operators that have used our superb 50 degree field of view (FOV) Boomslang NV optics and like their performance, then stand by for our 40 degree FOV “Nightwinder” NV optics which will have all of the benefits of the 40 degree FOV Carson optics, but with lighter weight and better performance. They should be ready by November here at Photonis Defense, and we expect (hint hint) that CHS will want a supply of these. This will give all of CHS’s customers an even greater ability to customize their NODs with a variety of upgrades that will improve performance across the board.
Cannot wait to see what you guys cook up as usual!
does it come out
@@chenli8337 Its out.
Love the Nocturn team!
I'm still hoping for a manual gain/screen brightness Mono housing.
And just wishlisting here: hot shoe bridge for a NOD and a thermal. Maybe have them set up for modular battery packs? (I know that can't be the right wording, but y'all know what I mean, right?) I know that the thermal manufacturing is out side of Nocturn's wheelhouse, but maybe InfiRay is willing to work with somebody on it.
do a video on the panned daisho and tanto combo!
Love my Daisho: if I ever do want manual gain I’m going back to nocturn and getting a manticore
Have you had any issues with auto gain? And wanted or needed manual gain? I’m trying to hop that fence, either go tanto route and have the option to go duals in the future at the price of manual gain or get a pvs 14
Pls do the tanto and daisho bridge injection molded ;) I was looking to buy them here, but after this I wanna wait for that mold
Nocturn, AB night vision and Argus are the future. I couldn't care less about housings made by L3. They keep resting on their past innovations.
We also have LLI for the budget non-chinese stuff.
@@aesthetic8780 LLI not budget lol
@@Averagedude73 its definitely on the lower end
@@Averagedude73 Yes it is. The trashy J-31 is also budget. So is the LLI AETERNUS.
The only difference, the AETERNUS is actually good and holds up to milspec standards.
MH-1 has entered the chat.
LLI still manages to not be cheap at all, and I wasn't super impressed with their lower cost options
I hope they come out with a metal version of the Daisho with an adjustable pan feature.
I don't mind them doing fixed angles the way they're been doing just to reduce complexity, but ditto on metal housing
@@JackTagar I like the ability to tune the angle to my own preference, plus with the fixed angled bridge, if I pull one Tanto off to hand to a buddy, now I'm stuck with a single pod at an angle.
You could consider purchasing a j arm and then pulling the other pod (the one you’ll use) off the bridge as well to use standalone. That’s what I intend to do when pulling mine apart for buddies
@@willthrill94 Why not just get a pano bridge at that point?
@@DonJohn-h8l lol fuck it why not?!
No panned katana still?
Love it
outstanding guys. I told Aaron Loveless at Loveless Performance to do an off body gain, power control mod a year ago then again like 4 months ago and he blew me off... This is the innovation and forward thinking industry needs. The power source, and controls should not be on the body in the front. That's outdated thinking. The industry needs to leave that in the past. The PVS-14 needs a mod kit to update all existing as do all other mono bodies.
Love the tech being put into these binos. Honestly though, bridge NVG / Thermal is the future for consumers. (Fusion is probably future for military/professional users.)
Focusing on creating a Tanto-based ecosystem is the way, so people can tailor their own set up to their use. Thermal mono in a Tanto housing, able to be bridged into a Daisho with a NVG Tanto. Call it the Wakizashi. Please, please bring this to the market soon. I know you are already looking into this. Love Nocturn but the speed at which you release products is snails pace. The Manticore R felt like it took 30 years, please don't take another 30 years to release a thermal Tanto.
Eventually a Tanto with NV and thermal fusion like the Jerry-F fusion would be the end goal. Call it the Naginata. My dream is Daisho bridge with a Tanto, and a fusion NVG/Thermal on the other eye.
But for now I'd be happy with a Daisho which I can decide between 2 Tanto's when I'm running around urban, or if I'm in the bush I can swap it out and run 1 Tanto and 1 Wakizashi.
Wondering if the new chimera bridge now costs as much as an full qtnvg housing
Will there be an ANVIS objective lens compatible Katana Molded?
I would love if Nocturn created an articulating ball detent housing. Theres literally zero on the market, and i feel it would be great for people who already own ANVIS
Im just really concerned with the release date for the Chimera housing. I have been waiting a very long time
If there's anyone who can put together a panning fusion housing, I'd bet on Nocturn
RAD!
Also where is my Argus mount
I want creators purple katanas is this possible
The pano housing was “definitely coming this year” all year long, getting old, hope opfor gets theirs out first at this point
Are either of these companies legit? Last time i dealt with a place that said “expect shipping delays” they didnt have any stock and had no idea when they would get any. More than happy to take money tho
We are defo legit (check our Google reviews). If you do have questions about stock or shipping though please give us a call or email.
Our backlog was due to Black Friday Month with much heavier than average volume of sales combined with Canada Post strikes which have just ended. We will try to get your package to you as promptly as we can.
L3 GPNVG18 owner and Reddit Chimera denier,
Not releasing the gucci bridge to the commercial market is pretty lame but taking time on the Chimera and not R&Ding a $8,500 housing on customers is redeeming.
I still wish I understood, WHY NO APNVG COMPATABLE BRIDGE???
Nocturn Industries chose not to make a bridge for the Argus APNVG because they are almost an exact clone of the GPNVG. Nocturn Industries has a relationship with L3 and L3 feels that the Argus APNVG is an intellectual property infringement. Nocturn said that if they at least changed the APNVG a little bit, they would have made a bridge for the unit.
I was only here for the samurai
And im leaving yet again with basically no info on the samurai
My Katanas I got from CHS are chefs kiss😘🤌
