The brief shot of what it looks like through the pan dual nods was my favorite shot. It’s something most other channels haven’t seemed to figure out. Very cool video.
We have been riding like this for 10 years….we started military NVGs modded to bike helmets like yours. We never tried using infrared lights but it would definitely have helped. We also have been woods racers for a long time so we had the skill to do this….its ok on an open road but in tight woods it’s really difficult…you have to time when to turn as you can’t look down really close . I am sure your wider field of vision helped. We also tried it snowmobiling….it’s pretty amazing. Great video…love your channel.
been running my brute force 650 ATV at night with night vision for the last few years. I run a rechargeable Camera IR light I built a mount for the front rack. I get a 25m x 20 m throw of light. works good for total black out night runs. Started with my GT mountain bike then went to the ATV next the XR 650l.
That was incredible, then the outro was so seamless the video had such a cohesive story I was so entranced the ending caught me off guard as time flew by. Keep making videos!
Fast recon spec ops style, love it mate. Ready for bugging out at a moments notice unless there is an emp burst or the battery runs out. Oh well it looks good all the same.
Awesome! I think bikes like the HondaXR150L can be customize to make them as quiet as an electric bike. By adding Akrapovic Silencers, Sound Deadening Sprays and Exhaust Wraps. Keeping low rpms, though.
I dig it man, subbed. can I get an update video or add on what it looks like to others in the dark. I saw what you have but still couldn't get a soild sense of what it's like.
Happy to see u doing your own channel. When i saw you on the dirty civ video I wondered why you weren't doing your own thing already. Keep up the good work. South Fl is hoping to see more from you. I loved the shot of jumping the bike across the gas station doorway, lol. Very cool!😊
On your 450 speedo/light issue, where the wire y's off to go to the headlight, cut it there, install the toggle. So as to not interrupt the power to the speedo. Not sure if that makes sense, but trust me, it does. You can share a fuse and interrupt the power in the right location no problem.
Great video! Thanks. Watching from Europe, Germany. Being prepared becomes more of a thing again over here. Really enjoying this kind of videos as well as DC. Keep it up.
There using Ebike in the Russian war. More so the new surons and that other brand. Due to them being quiet compared to dirt bike. They modified them too. I got my Ebike. Go about 15-18mph. I jail broke it. However I’m gonna get a suron and modify it and my lid. Gonna add tire lites and pegs on back tires. Next side mirrors. And gonna change to hydraulic brakes. Wanna add GoPro stick on end of frame where I have a free loop. Got two ring locks on the back for storage bag
I blacked out my Honda Ruckus and bomb that thing around at night with nods all the time! I do have a toggle for the high lights in case of emergency. I also left my blinkers untouched in case I’m on road with a car behind me and I need them to see me. Super fun, and the Ruckus is pretty quiet for what it is. My next step is to add some switched ir lights. Very cool video man! Aloha from the Big Island of Hawaii 🤙🏽🤙🏽 Subscribed
Been doing this for years on ATV's, but I can only get it so quiet. Hopefully the reviews on the Altis Sigma come back positive so I can get one ordered. This setup is such the 300 BLK of transport. Love it!!!!
Nice. I was looking at those same lights. I currently have a 450R and yz250f, so no dual sport yet. I put a 1913 section on my front fender and mount a UHP or NGAL on it when I ride with night vision. Great video.
I've rewired my NX250 my KLR 650 and my Foreman 500 for NVG's. First rode with ANVIS 6 goggles back in the early 2000's . My latest project is my TW200 which is why I picked up a basic no tech bike that hasn't changed much since 1987. I use to convert old 24V military lights to 12v and use Surefire weapons lights on rail mounts as needed . I can tell you that to night time adapted people (Goat Herders in Afghanistan ) 850nm light stands out like a dick in a punch bowl . You may want to get a 940nm spot or flood as a switchable option. As for the helmet put some back up material under that NVG mount. The breakaway pressure on that mount is more then it will take to rip those screws through the material.so If you dump and break your mount you are stuck. Great job though NVG ops in Emergencies are a lifesaver.
This is awesome, I've always imagined doing this on a motorcycle. I was planning to pick up some goggles to explore the Oregon forests at night during the moons.
I did something very similar recently with a different vehicle. If you carefully open the switch you can rotate the cover and put it back together. What this does is reverse the throw. This way you can always have your regular lights on with the switch cover down and you will flip the switch up to cut the lights. When you need white light in a pinch, just slap the large red switch cover down and it will turn your lights on.
I own a CUCV, which is the military version of a K5 Blazer, with a diesel engine (aka boat anchor) AND military blackout light... with a switch you kill all the light. You can use convoy light OR IR light, with an IR illuminator (mine arrived without it) and convoy IR light all is done to achieve the highest level of light discipline thus reducing the possibilities of being spotted by enemies, either flyer or ground forces. if you google the logic beyond how they arranged the switch mode you may find it interesting
Shouldn't the locking switch be the other way? Like, 180° from how you have it? You should have to pull it because pushing it could happen accidentally under braking inertia. ETA: Sorry, I forgot to mention how awesome I think the mod and the video itself came out. Quality work.
@ thanks!.. I have a cheap-y E-Bike but I'm gonna film some night shots at my university campus. I may use some of your "angles" and composition as a template since it's badass! Last question, what focal length did you use and any color grading for the night shots or just left as is? Thanks!! And subscribed and followed on IG
Honestly not bad. There’s a little more going on with a gas bike have a clutch and all, and the sound signature isn’t great. But, I can definitely see some use cases where using a normal dirtbike with night vision could be useful.
Does this FX have the removable batteries? My dream is to get one and also 2 spare batteries (yes I realize how expensive that would be) and have a set charged up and ready to swap.
I was wondering what you use for editing your videos and what presets you have for color grading. Absolutely love your editing and shooting style. Also are you in TN with the dirty civ crew? Was thinking about moving out there too, to be able to do stuff like this. Can’t do this in Philly 💀
Dude, well done.
Thanks dudes!
Wait! This isn't a @dirty-civilian video?
@@Zowbythis is one of the guys personal UA-cam channel
I knew I would find you here.
@@ZowbyI thought the same 😅

Thank you. It was tricky getting that shot. Required a lot of finessing and matching in post!

Yo your the guy who was featured in Dirty Civilian, glad you made a YT channel of your own
Just found your channel and subscribed. Well done.

This is epic dude. Keep it up!
Thank you!
Insanely good footage and editing 🙌🏻 Sick video 🔥
Thanks you!
Its like having a extra sense
Fantastic video! Editing, sfx, music, and a very interesting yet simple build.
Excited to learn a lot of new things from this channel!
Great job on the video! Your camera work and edits are really good. Thanks for making it. Cool idea.
Thank you very much!
Quality video! Well done.
Fast recon spec ops style, love it mate. Ready for bugging out at a moments notice unless there is an emp burst or the battery runs out. Oh well it looks good all the same.
Awesome video. Id definitely like to see more about how you mounted your nv to the helmet.
I hope to make a video specifically on the helmet setup at some point!
Great video, totally combines a couple of very niche things im into.
Awesome! I think bikes like the HondaXR150L can be customize to make them as quiet as an electric bike. By adding Akrapovic Silencers, Sound Deadening Sprays and Exhaust Wraps. Keeping low rpms, though.
Both content and production was super.
Thanks.
Commenting to help you in the algo cause this is the type of stuff I want to be seeing!
Wtf i expected this channel to have at least 100k subs 😮
What a good video. This deserves more recognition
Good work bro
This is really cool take it from someone who loves the night great job keep shining like the King u are
This is amazing quality dude. Im currently building out my klx 300 and this gave me so many ideas!
I dig it man, subbed. can I get an update video or add on what it looks like to others in the dark. I saw what you have but still couldn't get a soild sense of what it's like.
What a setup! What a concept! What a guy!
Epic

Amazing video production. Given on it's on top of great modifications of expensive equipment. Very hard to do, or at least, very tricky.

Haven’t had a chance to watch yet, but I’ve seen this guy enough to know it’s going to be good. Excited to see this channel grow!
I appreciate the support!
I liked this video before it even started playing 😂 man stuff 🏍️ 🌃
That’s why he’s the goat!!
What an idea... Crazy good! Congrats on the mods
bro how do you only have 439 subs!? the quality of this vid is incredible, i felt like i was watching a Fortnine video or something! well done man
I wonder the same thing lol. Thank you for the support!
FartNine is wack
Wow, outstanding vid. BravoZulu!
Dude!!! This bike is AMAZING!!! I got a Ghostcat F3X now, saw this!! Ah, looks great! 😊 Also bro! What is your helmet at 3:22???? I need it lol
Nice. I was looking at those same lights. I currently have a 450R and yz250f, so no dual sport yet. I put a 1913 section on my front fender and mount a UHP or NGAL on it when I ride with night vision.

EPIC Cinematography 👏👏👏👏👏
The production of this video is awesome
what a rad vid - subbed for sure!

I never knew you could do this. This is awesome thanks. Great job
This is awesome, I've always imagined doing this on a motorcycle. I was planning to pick up some goggles to explore the Oregon forests at night during the moons.
I plan on doing this in the future, thanks for some direction as to how to do it
How is your channel not bigger?? This was awesome!
Good question, I’m working on It! Thanks for watching
I did not know about the zero until seeing this video. This would suit me much better than a varg. Dope video
Nice work, great ideas.
A really great video, thank you, that bike looks amazing! Those shots of you riding at night blacked out - awesome!

Oh that’s a really good idea, I may have to do that with mine!
Thank you for making a video on something i have been Thinking about for Months ever since DC's First 2 wheeled mobility video
Incredible video dude 👏
Thanks you!
didnt know you had a youtube channel! uhh Subscribed instantly
Thanks dude!
@ anytime bro!
Wayy too high quality for this subscriber count. NOICE
This video is a creative masterpiece!
Since you're using infrared lights you might as well use digital night vision like nvg-50 or adnv g14 plus they double as helmet cams
Great video, I always liked the dirty civilian mobility videos and thats what I assume your channels gonna be like and I love it
RAD!
Really enjoyed this. Also, your switching looks so good. Very OEM, very demure.
Thank you dudes!
Commenting because this video is sick and you deserve to have way more subscribers
I appreciate the support!
So sick! been thinkin about doing this with my DR650 ever since I got my PVS14
I own a CUCV, which is the military version of a K5 Blazer, with a diesel engine (aka boat anchor) AND military blackout light... with a switch you kill all the light.

Very interesting! I’ll have to look into that.
Fantastic video, man! Very cool stuff!
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is awesome I want one
This is beautiful 😭😭😭portable off grid ebike solar charging setup next? 👀
This is so cool! Can it be done with the new thermal vision technology? Or maybe both…switchable? I like the distance thermal offers.
Outstanding work my man
Much appreciated!
Shouldn't the locking switch be the other way? Like, 180° from how you have it? You should have to pull it because pushing it could happen accidentally under braking inertia.
ETA: Sorry, I forgot to mention how awesome I think the mod and the video itself came out. Quality work.
These shots look great. What Sony camera did you use, and how did you set it up.
Goodness gracious was that a well made video!
This is nuts. I love it
Amazing set up! Great video
I've got it already😂😂😂, I actually use an ir laser for the thrower...
Total cost was less than a 100€
Could you do a dedicated video on your ARID CRF 250L Build
Hey! If you don't mind sharing, which Sony camera did you use to film your night footage? Was it an a7siii IR converted?
Thanks!!
Yeah! I used a IR converted A7SII for all the riding footage, and for all the talking and the campfire bit I used a A7CII
@ thanks!.. I have a cheap-y E-Bike but I'm gonna film some night shots at my university campus. I may use some of your "angles" and composition as a template since it's badass!
Last question, what focal length did you use and any color grading for the night shots or just left as is?
Thanks!! And subscribed and followed on IG
When do you think you'll have this build on your website?
@@ireilly2000 that’s a good question. I have a pretty significant change I’d like to cover in a video before doing a full build blog on it.
Super cool.
Amazing video. Unfortunately all of this stuff is almost impossible de acquire or is very expansive here in Brazil.
Awesome video. How do you think this setup would be on a gas bike? Interesting option for a fe501s
Honestly not bad. There’s a little more going on with a gas bike have a clutch and all, and the sound signature isn’t great. But, I can definitely see some use cases where using a normal dirtbike with night vision could be useful.
Subbed, been wanting to do this myself.
Dope video my guy.
Appreciate it
Awesome ! If you pass a car with high beams on will that ruin your nods?
Does this FX have the removable batteries? My dream is to get one and also 2 spare batteries (yes I realize how expensive that would be) and have a set charged up and ready to swap.
Mine does not. But the older ones do
Great vid man!

Well this channels gonna fuckin explode lol
sweet -- just curious -- what music track did you use? Also - video gear list pls... thx!
RPNVGs the GOAT.
They’re pretty rad
this was cool as hell commenting for the algo
