Yes we do ship to Europe 🌍
NVG30 is the predecessor to the NVG10? I think you mean successor
Thanks US! It is always good to find the night vision items that are more into the affordable spectrum!
Thanks for watching Greg! Yeah this device was very impressive. Hope you are doing well!
I would like to see a good comparison with this vs. the NightFox Prowl.
Here is a video comparison between the NVG30 and the Night Fox Prowl under 1% illumination ruclips.net/video/7DB5GHGnqI0/видео.htmlsi=16QSsabAYDynx03K
Bought 2 right when it came out and they're absolutely mindblowing.
Thats awesome, glad you are pleased!
You set up a bino? Saw a mount to do bino nvg 10s but I feel like it would be rough as you have to calibrate the pvs 14 a good amount to run them that way but haven’t seen any digital versions
@@charlesdingman4306 i use a kvc bridge mount sold on ali ex. The mount isn't perfect since the nvg30 has a dovetail shoe but the slot on the kvc requires something similar yet different from the dovetail. I made it hold with a spacer and tie wrap and it work perfectly.
Thanks for the content, I have watched about every video there is on YT reviewing the Prowl, nvg10, and nvg30 and I just ordered the nvg30 yesterday with your discount code. really looking forward to trying it out and hope it meets expectations. Thanks again!
Thanks so much for the order! Maybe you should review it on your channel! Bet some of your old subs would love to hear from you I can see it's been a while lol.
lol yea its been a while. I actually bought the Prowl as well so I'm excited to compare the two. Maybe I will do a video. Thanks again! @@UrbanSurvivor
Took this one a while. Thank you,sir. And congratulations for being the first to actually review this in youtube
Thanks for watching! Getting ready to publish a comparison between this and the NVG10 too
@@UrbanSurvivorIs the lag really not noticable in 40fps? Or is there still slight latency?
this is perfect for someone who has never experienced real night vision.
Finally a review of this monocular i was thinking these might be perfect for airsoft use
Yeah I think they would be great for airsoft!
I just ordered this yesterday from your website and it shipped the same day, thats amazing. I cant wait to try it out!
Thanks for your order! Hope you enjoy!
@@UrbanSurvivor can you run the device on 2- Cr123s or only 18650s ?? I can't find anything online really on this device
@@brianchandler7118 haven't had any luck powering them from cr123s. You can power the devices with a power bank with or without the batteries in.
It seems that the actual light sensitivity hasn't increased, but the resolution and field of view have been when compared to the old model. The NVG30 is better than the NVG10 in every way except the one I want.
The light sensitivity has increased! check out the in depth comparison - ruclips.net/video/ekJj8L9vXVo/видео.html
Great review. I am getting one for the urban area with many light sources where analog NV struggles. Is there any way to attach a picatinny rail for attaching external IR for long range illumination? I probably need to glue it I guess.
Thank you😺👍
Was waiting for this since I finally got a 10 because the the 30 released and the 10 dropped significantly in price. The. I bought the after market wide angle lens the IR defuser cap to cover the light and also evenly disperse the IR evenly and then did a 3 printed mount that mounts the unit side ways furthermore increasing FOV and making the mount a lot more sturdy and lighter which is say and upgraded 10 only falls short with latency which is a very big deal and in all the upgrades were 150 which is slightly more than what I saved with the price drop due to the 30 but I still wanna get my hands on this next. Just strange the digital market is soooo lacking for what we want I figured this would have been available at this once point long ago and I shouldn’t have waited on the 10 I just knew something would replace it but always good to have backup gear for the unprepared haha
Been waiting for this review! Hoping you do a review with no Ir on, I think that's what a lot of us are wondering about! And I would say that the nvg30 is better in low light unless you were running/recording them at the same time, I say that because the nvg30 is using a 940nm light compared to the nvg10 using a 850nm light, which is much brighter! I'd like to see maybe the nvg10 vs 30 running next to eachother, with only one using it's light and then the other using its light only, but my prediction stands.
I got a diffuser cap that hides the IR ligh snd evenly disperses it as it seems very centered alone. Same with a wider Lens and mount
@@charlesdingman4306 where??? Very interested in them
@@charlesdingman4306 where did you get the diffuser cap from? Could use that and lens
@@charlesdingman4306 what wider lens did you get for it? And any idea where to get sacrificial lens?
I’d like to see a review with someone navigating via walking or driving with this thing. Also I wonder how it performs at a range. Finally I wonder what the battery life is on this.
This is perfect I was debating on getting either the nvg10 or this and I think I’m definitely going to get this until I can afford to get an actual pvs-14
Awesome! Yeah I think you'll be quite impressed by its performance.
Being a guy that has multiple nvg setups including dual nvg10 s on a pano bridge because one why not and two figured they could be handed off in that or as monocular configuration to friends when needed … needless to say I thought it wise to try them out… I’ve gotten to compare them to better digital tubes and analog tubes and I think what you said is the smartest comment anyone could make… get one to have one till you can get a better one… because analog will probably always be better.. if for nothing else than battery life… but if for nothing but the ability to look off in a stationary position and see into the dark is a priceless superpower and getting your hands on something sooner than later is probably wise… if nothing else you can give it to a buddy that thought you were crazy for spending all this money on nvg units later…. It’s coming.. plus it’s fun to play w and even just look at the stars..
@@johndaviddoesmith4504that was my thought process exactly I have used a couple of my buddies analog tubes and I love em a lot but for right now I can’t afford that so I’d rather get this for temporary use until I do get real analog tubes
@@UrbanSurvivordoes it come with the helmet mount if I don’t buy the helmet with it?
@@williamstewart3874 yes it does come with the helmet mount
I just picked up a Aurora Pro. I've been the most curious about the comparison between these two. Any chance you can show us the difference?
I just bought one from you out of curiosity. Let’s see what it’s like in person. 🤓
Awesome, thanks for your support!
Ivd not tried this or the prowl,but what would you say if someone already had a sionyx black?
The sionyx is pretty good and clear and do any of these other budget models compare to the black or would be worth gettinf along with the black?
Ive got a viper gen 1 and a another gen 1 and a cheaper digital monocular and they all are way better than nothing but my sionyx is way better than all the others i own right now.
If the sionyx is better than all the cheaper digitals,i wonder what would be just above the sionyx thats not triple the price like alot of gen2 are.
could you review nightoperators nvgs? these are cheap digital nvgs that have gotten a little popular but there isn’t any review videos. I just want to see if it’s a good idea to buy them. If not, that’s ok lol
when is there going to be a bridge compatability for the nvg30?
Can you do a video checking out the stars? Will this be good for that?
Is it IP66 rated? NVG 10 is…makes it extremely useful in the southeast where it rains and rains and rains! 😁
hey do you have recommendations on back up batteries? will any 18650 be sufficient?
Can this device passive aim, using a fp pew with the nvg10 seemed no bueno
I’m considering these for air soft. With the IR flood light off would these give me away to an opponent with some sort of nvgs?
There are pictures of Chinese soldiers with these attached to their helmets. Some of them get NNVT gen 2 analog setups, but it looks lile most of the have those and the NVG 10. Its definitely not ideal but its better than nothing and i bet they would be fun for things like airsoft. Not sure i would want to trust that when real bullets are flying though.
I had my eye on this model, but bought a M250HD instead, as it can also be mounted on a boom stick.
Looks like an interetsing unit, will have to check it out. Thank you for sharing.
I was waiting for this video! the purchase website it says IR 940 requires customization. What customization does it require? Does it work at 850 or 940? Thank you
Yes! I want to know more about this too. I'm curious how it compares to sionyx in this way.
Didn't see this on your product page... what is the warranty on the NVG30?
i wait my NVG30 :-), i add in my second eye, a thermal cam. and i cry are insane.
Is there any kind of guarantee on these?
Do you have a cheaper version?
It's possible to set the IR illuminator off?
Yes you can turn it off
How’s this compare to the “NVG40 Pro Digital” monocular you have for sale?
Planning to come out with a video on that in the next few weeks but so far in my initial testing the NVG40 pro is much more reliant on IR lighting in low light conditions compared to the NVG30. The Field of view is also more compact, but it does have a circular view which is nice. It is a good unit for the price if you have no problems running ir light. The Nightfox prowl and the night operators max 2.0 are more in the same league as the nvg40s and i'll be including some comparison shots in that review.
Can you turn the illuminator off completely and use an external illuminator and laser?
Yeah the IR illuminator is set to off by default
"predecessor" does not mean sucessor, the nvg30 is after the nvg10,not before it
Yeah I realized that after I published it... Knew I was going to get called out for it lol feel like an idiot
What bridge attachment point does it use?
It comes with a dovetail adapter and also a proprietary FASt compatible mount
Is it full color?
I have the nightfox prowl, in my opinion the latency is unacceptable for walking. How much of an improvement is the nvg30? Does it compare to analog when it comes to latency?
Nothing is going to quite ever compare w analog because there is no latency… you can come close though and supposedly this thing can delete 1/3 of the latency out of the nvg 10 I would think that would be approaching a level you could move and do the things with… I’m interested to see more
I have dual nvg30 and honestly I have no problem walking with them. The latency doesn't really feel like a problem. The biggest issue for me was the field of view but that's nvg as a whole rather than the unit itself. This one has 40 degree just like a pvs14 and running duals also helps.
Does having dual night vision lens double the fov?
Not really as the fovs intercept with each other i think
I may be late to this video, but do you know if there will be more color modes?
I think the 4 it has are the only ones planned at the moment... What are you hoping for?
@@UrbanSurvivor I was hoping for a red phosphor mode
is the mount part universal? like can i just add any j arm mount to it?
The included mount is proprietary but it will connect to a FAST helmet. There's also a Bino Bridge kit which can be configured to run a single NVG30 if you need something more robust - goodnitegearshop.com/products/wilcox-l4-nvg-mount-dual-tube-bidge-mount-nvg30-bino-setup
Do you guys ship to sweden? :D
Yes we do!
Are these true 1x?
So, does this require the IR light to be on to get any kind of good image at all? Or can it work well without the IR light?
As long as there is a little bit of light(moonlight, Ambient light), it can perform well without IR light. A PVS14 will do a better job, but this does a very good job, and a better job than the nvg10. Check out this comparison for reference - ruclips.net/video/ekJj8L9vXVo/видео.htmlsi=4SV2NOGXt90qSCGJ&t=358 I'm also going to be doing a bunch more No IR tests over on the Good Nite Gear YT channel - www.youtube.com/@GoodNiteGear
@@UrbanSurvivor
Awesome,
I've been looking for a good NVG/FLIR option for the poors like myself ;p
Thanks so much!
@@nekokyun yeah this is the best in class for sure!
Does it come with a helmet mount if I buy the NVG only option or do I have to buy the one with the helmet? I'm asking because I already have a helmet and I don't know what kind of NVG mount would be compatible with the NVG 20
Yes it comes with a helmet mount if you just buy the NVG30 only. Also comes with a dovetail adapter as well.
Can you recommend a mounting adapter that goes with the dovetail mount ?
@@robertcronan210 The best option I have come across is this one - goodnitegearshop.com/products/wilcox-l4-nvg-mount-dual-tube-bidge-mount-nvg30-bino-setup Its a bridge but you can remove one arm to save weight.
@@UrbanSurvivor okay thank you for that I will have a look
Hi, can the device operate while it is charging via the USB-C cable?
Yes it can! Good Nite Gear would love to work with you as an affiliate. Do you have an email address I can contact you at?
@@UrbanSurvivor Hey i'm cool with that. I will send you an email.
Deos it have to be from good night gear? I put 100$ in amozon gift card, and saw one from wild game plus( as a brand on amozon). I dont know if good night is a 3rd party order or if there the ones who make the genuine nvg 30.
If you're going to buy from amazon using this link would help support me - amzn.to/49TZElq
@@UrbanSurvivor sure thing
Is it compatible with a wilcox mount on its own or does it need a bridge?
There's a dovetail adaptor available for sale here - www.aliexpress.us/item/3256806121645161.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.main.7.31e349d0KiAFkE&algo_pvid=975130f6-76b3-4624-b6d9-76a779b8bc2b&algo_exp_id=975130f6-76b3-4624-b6d9-76a779b8bc2b-3&pdp_npi=4%40dis%21EUR%2112.61%2112.61%21%21%2195.82%2195.82%21%40210321c317066602782451020e589a%2112000036702571309%21sea%21IE%21183717338%21&curPageLogUid=Lt6AZ7Mh5Cu1&utparam-url=scene%3Asearch%7Cquery_from%3A&gatewayAdapt=4itemAdapt
@@UrbanSurvivorOn your website it shows it with a dovetail adaptor so I assumed it just came with it?
@@littlejimbob1233lol comes with it….. this is night vision nothing comes w it….
@@UrbanSurvivor I'm a bit confused on that dovetail adapter i have to say, it'd place the device directly between your eyes with no side-to-side adjustment...? Even if the device itself looks interesting for the price, i will never understand why the people making them completely neglect the mounting interface.
If I use this nvg and another airsoft player uses a real nvg, a Gen 2+ for example, will he see me before I see him because of any lens or IR flash? Will we be on equal terms?
Lens flashes should be identical. The main difference would be whether or not IR lights are turned on... If they are both off then your IR signature would both be zero, however the gen 2 pvs14 would probably pick up more ambient light and perform better. If both devices were using IR, then the performance would be similar, with the slight advantage going to the pvs14 for less latency.
eBay they sell a ir diffuser but it’s for the 10 I’m sure in a year or so the same guy will make some upgrades for this I’m not sure why it’s one guy modding these
O infravermelho vermelho é visível?
It is
Can sun light damaged the monucolor
It can also be used in the daylight shouldn't be any issues with sun unless you leave it baking in the heat then that might cause other problems.
Can u see the ir light in the dark
Its very faint you can see what it looks like here - ruclips.net/video/ekJj8L9vXVo/видео.htmlsi=pJDhuX6_uIlHNek4&t=87

I received from you the NVG20 model from 2023, and not the NVG30 from 2024
is there any way to make it less zoomed out?
There is a way to zoom in if that's what you are asking!
@@UrbanSurvivor no haha. I want to have better field of view. Like the prowl kinda
@@Fischer56 there is a wide angle lens mod in the works. will post an update about it on the channel when its available.
@@GoodNiteGear great! if the camera would be less zoomed out i would purchase one. so since youre making a lense ill proceed to buy one! thanks!
@@Fischer56 at this point I have not tested the lens yet myself. Might be worth waiting until the lens mod comes to life before purchasing the nvg30 on the off chance it doesnt come to life.
Whats the wait time on ordering?
There's a chance our shipments will go out this week but if not then early next week.
@UrbanSurvivor sweet, I just got the notification they shipped today. I'm looking forward to checking the Nvg30s out. Thanks
@@OnlyDayzfanz Yep, they got here a bit earleir than expected! Let me know what you think of the NVG30 when you get a chance to test it out!
You might want to be skeptical of those people that have told you that the NVG-30 is superior to gen 2 night vision.
100% agree.
$495 is certainly under $500. LMAO!!!! The Sionyx Black is only $399.
Are they decent for that price
I'll put it this way, I have a Sionyx Aurora pro, and I just bought one of these nvg30s. I'm selling my Aurora.
Sorry, what a BS. You cant see with those units in the dark without IR light. OBVIOUSLY.
So how is it supposed to be on the level of gen2 or even gen3?
Even with Gen1 you can see more in the dark without IR Illuminator. Please dont spread such misinformations.
Im a NV seller and owner of multiple NVGs. I also have two units of the NVG-10.
But this is not comparable to real Image intensifier tubes. Even Gen1+.
The NVG10 is only usable for Stargazing. It can do it even better than analog night vision. But thats all.
With the NVG30 you can at least navigate a little bit. The color modes are also very very nice. Also for Stargazing.
The NVG30 is worth the money if you already have analog night vision. But this unit does NOT provide a good alternative to Gen2+ or Gen3 units. Not even close.
It can run without IR. But I agree it is no Analog tube. I think he meant the image quality. Its definitely better than a Gen1
@@Shoelaces77 No it's not. Gen1 tubes working at light-speed. Look at the Pulsar edge GS. It has Gen1 CF-super tubes (EP33). No edge distortion and resolution like Gen2+/gen3 tubes.
It intensifies more light than any of the NVG10/NVG30 sensors. No lag, no FPS, just real time light intensification.
It needs IR light, exactly like all the digital units. But you don't have the negative stuff of digital.
When the screen of the NVG30 turns black, you can still see a little bit without IR light on your Gen1+ unit. Pulsar edge GS as example.
But both are unusable without IR. I have both and I tested both.
I say that as a fan of the NVG10/30.
@@aesthetic8780 gen 1 ep33's not have edge distortion? what a crock of shit lmao,they absolutely do
@@kwaaakitythe GS also looks blurry beyond 100m.
@@aesthetic8780aside from the lag and latency, it is still better in image quality than a Gen 1. And no, they don’t really need IR to work,as long as there is sufficient ambient light and not complete darkness
I have Gen2+ white phosphorus and they are no comparison to this unit. Huge price difference but to say they are the same or better is completely false. Gen3 is not worth mentioning as this is laughable
Have you used nvg30s personally? Or are you just one of "those guys".
@@oni_goroshi have you used both or are you just a “Fan Boy”
Just sent you an email. Would love to work with you.
Got it! Looking forward to working with you on some videos!
Looking forward to it!
