Custom Night Vision | Helmet Mounted Thermals

- It is important to mention thermals when discussing night vision. In this video Kevin breaks down the advantages to thermal optics used in conjunction with night vision. It is clear that both systems have pros and cons, however when used together the lines start to blur on what negatives there may be.

Kevin we love you and your bloopers
Lol all natural
Thank you for your work
RH25 is the winner. Cost / benefit of the RH25 is far better than any of the other units.
The Nox18 can not be used as a clip-on.
The SkeetIR is the only comparable unit but it costs over 3X as much.
This is a great vid and the info about the eyepieces isn't something I've heard before. I want to love the Nvision because it's US-made and seems like something you might see in "serious" use unlike a lot of the imported stuff, but in every single video I've seen of Nvision (including the one you showed) it seems like there is just so little detail in the environment. It always looks muddy and low contrast. Yes, the detection on targets seems good. But for a helmet-mounted monocular used for scanning, that's only part of the picture. I wonder if it's just a lack of image processing on Nvision's part. The fully manual NUC is also kind of annoying.
You should talk to people that use them 40-50 hours a week.
I like the low pro plate bags!
low pro? the scum bag that steals your money low pro?
Velocity systems
@@kevin11288 THANKS!
@@ethanbarnes3973No problem
The intro 😭😂
No scripts, all real life
Hell yea 🤙🏽🇺🇸🔥
What do you think about the Trijicon IR Patrol M300W or the Armasight sidekick 640 mini?
I like Nvision better than those 3
Yooo not the vintage ass Rouge Status shirt! classic
Hell yeah, trying to bring it back.
"it would behoove you" lol classic saying
I keep it classic
Does the nox18 have a way to collimate with i2 optics? My biggest disappointment with getting a thermal was the images being shifted and not being able to resolve it.
Theoretically maybe.
It wouldn’t be like a true collimation but the eyepieces could be adjusted to a position that’s more comfortable or collimated by eye.
@@kevin11288 I wish they had a way to shift the pixels over in software, shouldn't be that hard for them to do I think.
@@HansonLinekadjusting the eyepiece could help
I'm deciding this path or bino with clip on thermal. Which do you prefer?
Clip on like an ecoti?
@@kevin11288 yes
Gun mounted thermal plus nods
Binos are practically pointless. The image you get is basically the exact same as a monocular. A panobridge is far superior and a cheaper setup. You should only get a clip on if you already have a thermal imager. I wrote a comment below extrapolating my reasoning.
AGM StingIR-640?
Voodoo S and Skeet IR can’t be beat but the RH25 is a great value
Not going to disagree.
Love some facts and data, and long videos. Serious
What has better image quality as a handheld? The Nox18 or the RIX Stride ST6?
Nox18.
@@customnightvision How old is the Nox18? Will there be an updated version? Does the skeet have a wider FOV than the Nox18? Trying to decide between a skeet and a voodoo-s but still considering the Nox18
When will you guys start providing NVT-7 tubes? And will you guys be building Argus panoramic night vision when those release?
Probably not going to mess with Chinese tubes. The industry has been pretty negative towards anything containing even the simplest components from china. However, the Argus quad is something we want to offer, potentially.
We offer NVT-7 options, we are based in Switzerland providing NVGs & services :)
@@DTDSystems Do you have a website?
spicy singles in your area lol. I see you seen some thangs. 👍🏻👍🏻
Lots of things
@@kevin11288 yea man. And thank you.
@@MrT13 no thank you
@@kevin11288 lol well I can’t thank you and you can’t thank me so we can both insist.
@@MrT13 are we about to kiss?
How about pixelsontarget voodoo-s? Essentially a skeetir?
The voodoo s is excellent. Check out my review on it.
I read the thumb nail.
Answer: Money.
Lmfao yes
Rh25 on sale everywhere for 3999……… pretty decent value no?
CAUSE IM BROKE THATS WHY
No day time cap?
No there’s no tubes in that housing lol
I'm scared of the sun after the dirty civ testing. (Sun makes spots after 15min of dirrect shine on your tube.)
Can you run a pvs 14 and thermal at the same time
Yeah, why not, you can have one over each eye or get a thermal overlay for a pvs14 and still have one natural lighted eye, and anything in the middle of your pvs14 vision will be highlighted with thermal
it would behoove you.. immediate jarhead identifying phrase
Forced bloopers took up enough of my time, I’ll be moving on.
Cool, thanks for stopping by ad dropping a comment. None of it is scripted, we just roll the camera man.
I thought the skeetIR was 17 micron
I could have mispoken.
Where to cop purple shirt plz
Man good luck. This one’s probably 15 years old.
Bro hook me up with some gear please
What do you want
Sure bro, send me your credit card info.
Wait, what do you mean the feet thing is weird? 😂😂
I have a single pvs14 can’t figure out if I should thermal or eCoti clip on. I like shooting and run and gun. But evade and detect is cool.
Hopefully this video answers that for me?
@@Tyborg425 Get a thermal first and then a coti later if you need it. Thermals are useful during the day as well, and you can't use a COTI in the day (well the chinese clip 1 you can because it has a handheld adapter, but it's kinda whack). Also cotis have an issue with a lot of false positives unlike dedicated thermals. So its a lot less useful than a dedicated thermal. I would only get a coti if you start using dual 14s on a panobridge, or quads, as basically what the coti provides is the ability to have thermal without neutering your regular IIT FOV.
As a side note, a binocular setup where both IIT tubes are facing the same direction with a coti is inferior to a 14 and a thermal imager, because the image you get from dual tubes is actually the exact same as a monocular. You really are not getting any advantage unlike a panobridge or quads.
