Night Vision Helmet Setup | PVS 14 & iRay MH25
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 июл 2024
- My personal night vision setup is...unique. Bridging the PVS 14 and iRay MH25 thermal allows me to experience the best of both worlds. While this setup is not perfect, and it does have flaws, it allows me to do everything I love with nightvision, and everything I love with thermal.
Helmet mounted thermal technology is rapidly expanding. The tech is amazing and the capabilities continue to blow my mind.

I’m holding out for the NV contact lenses in WP with thermal image overlay. 😆
probably about 60 years away tbh
@@apollo9x19 I wouldn’t doubt it.
It’s already being done, I’m fact it is done. I forgot who’s doing it but I saw a video all about it last year.
When they come out, they’ll be so expensive you’ll have to hold out for bionic eyes instead.
Probably next 10 years
I ve binged a bunch of your videos.. your channel is great!! Definitely gonna grow in the future!!
Im not a big "like and subscribe" guy, but your information has helped me make the right decision. I have not seen any other videos that are anywhere near as helpful. I will definitely buy from your site when I get the $ later this year.
I run duel white phosphorus on my ops core and have my Iray Mh 25 on a lanyard around my neck powered by a 10,000 mill amp battery pack that stays in my hoodie pocket while varmint and hog hunting with suppressed .22 / 1 Moa red dot. I found it to be easier to just flip up my goggles and grab the mh25 to heat scan, then drop the goggles back down to shoot the animals.
I just ordered an ML19 and I am looking for a 10000 mah battery pack, I've been told pretty much anyone will work from amazon. Do you have one you recommend?
Anker
Phosphor*
This is the best method for thermal. Just use a articulating bino ...
The idea of a hot(thermal opaque) laser is intriguing.
Super helpful. Awesome vid👌👌
Thanks for the video. Good stuff
Learned a lot from this video, thanks
Sweet setup. We need a few more of these videos for some different options.
We will have more coming for aure
@@KeystoneCarry ml19 I think is at that price point that’s a good bang for buck, also stats wise has wider fov, only thing you’d sacrifice is pixilation. Which for detention may not be an issue.
@@jubalgilbert7681 the 384 core will be its demise. For me: 640 core or better. The clarity is worth it
@@KeystoneCarry I was wondering how comfortable it is to walk at night with MH 25 for an hour or so? I am planning to buy MH25 only - helmet mount it. Some people claim they have disorientation and even nausea wearing MH25 on a helmet while walking for several minutes and they just suggest to use it as a handheld device
The only con I found for the MH25 is it’s made in China. I opted to save a little longer and get the Nox18. I currently use the Wilcox bridge and mount with a counter weight and find it all a bit heavy. I’m considering going back to a helmet mounted PVS14 with the Nox18 hanging around my neck.
Nice job on the video, thanks for your input!
Smart choice!
Hey pal I am in the same boat, shopping now. I have been thinking RH25 or Nox18 based off what I have read so far. How do you like that Nox18?
@@urbanandruralsurvivaliray and is a Chinese company too
If you want to "test" thermals, go to Scheels. I've bought like 3 or 4 thermals from them only to return them. And yes, I bought a 10,000$ trijicon that I returned and there were no questions asked.
What didn't you like about the ones you returned? Considering a Nox18/PVS-14 combo.
I have the same setup with the exception of the bridge. What I am trying to figure out is how to record the image from the mh25. What do you suggest?
I just got this very same setup! Pvs14 bridged with a rh25 except my helmet is black instead. Now it’s time to learn how to use this setup.
Watch our content on my other channels @tatargets and @arkayneco
Have fun!, I have been hiking with my PVS-14 and tripping and falling all over the place lmao. Make sure to train a lot and move and navigate with it because it's not as easy as people think!.
@@yakivpopavich update?
I run one side pvs 14 and one side iray for hog hunting. I use the pvs 14 to drove around and walk sometimes and the thermal for almost everything else. I can drive and walk with the thermal just not as well. Perfect for spotting animals and especially finding them once they arw hurt and run. Also have a ir laser on my gun and a thermal scope for redundancy.
Can you use the ir laser with thermals?
@@PETRAS_ no. You will not see any laser with a thermal.
Do you have the thermal and nvg on at the same time ?
This is how I plan to make my set up
NOX-18 innovate of the iray give the 640 quality and adds weapon mount ability with a reticle. Provides an additional function over your set up.
200%
Do you think it’s better than the iRay RH25?
@@TylerJames-gf8ms iray has QC issues and the Chinese made parts aren’t good quality. Housing isn’t durable. NOX18 is a tank and quality built and haven’t seen or heard of issues with them other than being slightly heavier than iray. Nox is also a true 1x unlike the iray is not. So tuning a PVS14 and nox is the same 1x. Oh and NOX is American made.
@@kurt53641 Hey homie I am thinking about a similar set up as well, do you have personal experience with the Nox18 and/or the iray?
@@kurt53641 Based on what evidence?
Hi there great video I’ve been using thermal scopes on my rifles now for several years and I’ve always wanted a pvs14 but the pvs14 can not be shipped out of the USA is that still the case but the MH25 looks like a pretty good option apart from the fact that you can’t see through glass so wouldn’t be great for driving but might be ok for walking up on game on a helmet mount cheers
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Can you hook up portable solar panels and banks to both devices?
not sure if i heard you touch on how you mounted the MH25 to the panobridge arm. Is there an adapter plate that is made to attach them to pvs-14 arms? how did you go about it?
Would be cool to see iray vs coti
This looks sick! Where am I gonna lay hands on ten grand 😂
Yeah it’s a steep buy in for sure
A flame thrower is the perfect target designator for thermal imho…
Hi, excellent job. I am lookig for a nice compact thermal and somehow narrowed it down to either the Flir breach or the MH25. Now the one is much cheaper but does the MH25 give you so much more than what the Breach does. I’m looking at it from a tactical view and not wildlife hunting. What would you suggest? is the MH25 so much better for the price you pay? Thanks Cem
Nox 18 is worth looking at in comparison to the MH25. Higher quality and American made (vs sending your hard earned dollars to a CCP controlled company)
You can order the mh25 direct from China or Canada and save $ (cold harbor supply) but you will not have a warranty
I had a Breach and upgraded to a MH25 :-)
What's that mount you use to the shroud?
The pixel pitch of a thermal determines the resolution, focal length and size of detector govern field of view.
AGM ASP and a Wolf 14. stuck to a mil surp helm. I run them at the same time. No headaches, but I don't run thermal for half the year. Because in Charleston, SC thermal is worthless half the year.
Have you experienced any radio interference while using the device?
What do you think of this in comparison to a system like the E coti
It's completely different. An Ecoti will mesh well with your vision so the only thermal you see is just the minor overlay. However your detection range is smaller, you get more false positives, and you add a lot more weight and bulk to your setup. The advantage to the Ecoti is that awareness is faster. You don't have to manipulate your bridge, the thermal overlay is already always on so you can use your IIT like normal, and then just pay attention to the thermal overlay whenever you don't see anything under IIT to catch your immediate attention.
IMO do not buy an Ecoti until you already have a thermal weapon sight or at least a thermal monocular. Ecoti provides an advantage, but not one worth the cost compared to a thermal weapon sight or monocular unless you already have those available to you or someone in your fireteam/partner. Even then, I sold mine because I really don't use it. A thermal weapon sight has more utility because you can shoot through smoke/light vegetation, and a monocular is more decisive in being able to pinpoint what actually is a target thermal signature and what is just ambient heat sources.
Would this bridge allow the mounting of both units? WILCOX BINOCULAR BRIDGE SYSTEM: AN/PVS-14 (DOVETAIL)
Why not use the power pack as the counter weight?
What made you decide to use this instead of a COTI
I wonder if digital nightvision is simply going to have hybrid features in the future. Say have a thermal mode override nightvision mode during nighttime hours or low light for a few frames just to flash picture something and then the user decides if they want to adjust settings in order to identify. In mostly hi light or bright sunny days then the thermal feature is still active but either more frames for the "flash feature" and maybe even augmented reality features such as an outline and possible suggestions from the digital system in what it is likely to be and maybe even a way to stimulate the user into focusing on that signature temporarily even if somehow the user uses the visual ques.
The current “next gen” nods do just that from what little I understand on the topic
@@streetjustice4287 I have seen the Opsin and so far the features really only add a HUD and some better variability to the color palette.
Bnvd- fused thermal
How can I change magnification on mh25 from 1.1 to clear 1.0?
With the Pvs14 eye piece.
Search: MH14 eyepiece
What kinda detection range are you getting with that MH25?
1276 yards
What would stop you running night vision on your non dominate eye. Then having a thermal on your rifle to aim/shoot?
This is a great idea.
Better setup is 2x lightweight PVS-14 like Tanto + PAS-29B ECOTI thermal overlay.
What about a monocular with a clip on? Or even duals with clip on thermal?
See my other page: Arkayne Co
I just found out about this product InfiRay Outdoor Mini ML19 384x288 19mm Multi-Function Thermal. My Brain was like get one of theses and a pvs15 one of each on a rig. And I found you vid Great minds think a like
Can you make a video looking true them both? Im thinking about this setup or binos .. cant decide
Check out my other channel @ArkayneCo and you'll see what you need. We stock and sell the night vision and thermal over at Arkayne (arkayne.com)
.13 ebi? Or 1.3 ebi?
Im on a lower budget i have a elbit wp pvs-14 and im thinking about getting a breach to run with it. Is that something you would recommend or believe to be very useful for scanning my property for animals? Or is the core to low?thanks for the video! I really appreciate and enjoy your content!
Personally I’m a 640 core snob. A 320 core will tell you somethings there, but you often don’t have the clarity to know what it is. 640 is worth saving for.
get the MH25 wouldn't waste the 2.5K on a Flir breach. MH25 even though made in China is as good or better then the USA made BAE SKEET-IRL which used to sell for 14K. now cheaper since the competition from IRAY came out a few years ago. for $500 more than a breach, you can get a ML19 which is still just as good.
I was looking at the ml19, whas going to helmet mount it without anything else.
Is this a bad idea?
@@SweetStat it works fine, you just need to use torch preferably red light to move through the country. It is certainly a good start and will deliver greater output than just a hand held thermal as you can find hidden animals more easily when walking through bushy country or forests.
How do you back off the MH25 to 1x from 1.1x?
My understanding is they are 1.1 with the factory ocular lens but are true 1x with the pvs 14 ocular lens.
By getting a NOX18 instead
what about that visible green laser that is hot enough to burn things, could work for thermal?
Be cool if you switch between night vision and thermal with a click of a button.
Best is thermal overlay/fusion with night vision. There's a handful of commercially available options available for this but they're a hair kludgy, being clip-on. Best is purpose-built fusion units but there's nothing available like that to non government that I'm aware of. Typically, the ones you see in the wild are stolen (steer clear).
What if its a sasquatch? Saaaasssssquuuuaaatccchh
I think your prices are a little high mentioned @ 9:40 especially for photonis
12:00 bruh talking about 2 identical pvs14's gives you headaches but nv+thermal is g2g
Yeah, great this is what I want to buy as a package, don't make me piece stuff together
I already have a pvs14 and mh25. I would like to buy the complete helmet setup for them. Do you have everything available today?
Do you have real military experience?
Mounting the battery pack on top of your helmet puts a thermal heat beacon on your head.
A human head glows like a jack-o-lantern…

That would be cool, but someone with no thermal or nights would also be able to see you
