We used the PVS-7B for a long time before we switched to the PVS-14's. The 14's gave better light amplification but I never really got used to having one eye with NODS and the other without.
Something you didn't mention is that with the pinhole cap on you don't have to worry about focusing the lenses! If you have the IR light on you can use them indoors and everything will be in perfect focus, don't need to worry about bumping in to everything because it's super blurry.
My opinion is that blue is easier to look at. I hated PVS 14s and I refused to use them when I wasnt completely obligated to. I got 7 yesterday, short lead time and on sale and I already love it more than the 14. I got it WP and supposedly Gen2+ High Performance but to me it looks better than the 14 in Green that we were issued. I love this thing. I learned what I could, shrugged off people that tried to pressure folks into 14s and I went with my gut and love it so far.

@@MinimumSpeedOperator awesome thank you. Everything I’ll be doing is 100 yards and I’m so I’m hoping gen 2+ will be sufficient. Also, I’m not an operator , just a regular shooter lol
Yes I love the the 14s as well and are super versatile especially if you decide to passive aim through red dots. But the 7s are comfortable to wear for longer durations in my experience. Plus for just walking around they have a freaking built in compass!!!!! 🧭
When we switched to the PVS-14's from the PVS-7B's a lot of the soldiers got vertigo and a few even vomited. It took me a long time to get used to one eye with NODS and the other without. The PVS-14's did amplify the light a little better but I still liked the 7B's better.
The IR illuminator is actually built in to this model of PVS-7 however the adjustable focus knob is removable. It simply screws in and out allowing you to focus the beam.
@@lengan4440 well I’m not sure about specific models with detachable illuminators. Most civilian style night vision hunting scopes have detachable illuminators. That’s so you can mount it remotely on a rifle. But if you desperately need a separate unit you can buy just that and have one on the goggles and one on a weapon or even handheld like an invisible flashlight 😂
Hey Chase, thank you for the video! I just bought a pair of PVS-7 night vision goggles. My struggle has to do with the viewing distance between my eyes, lol. It seems that I can only see through the goggles using one eye or the other, if that makes sense. I see that there is a interpupillary adjustment, but I'm not sure how that works. Once I figure that out, I think I'm ready to really start enjoying this wonderful work of engineering by ATN. If you could provide some insight, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your consideration.
hey sorry im late hope u figured it out but if u didnt, literally just have to force the eyepieces to move enough left/right . its scary but remember 18yo's that knew nothing had these lol. it does loosen up the more u do it but not to the point of where it slips
Those big ass rings at the bottom of the two rear lenses twist to unscrew. Just loosen them up and slide each rear lens back and forth till you can see clearly, then tighten the rings.
Gen 3 is absolutely superior to gen 2 no matter what. Green vs White Phosphor is honestly subjective. green is a bit easier on your eyes for long durations. but slightly better contrast when doing high speed stuff for white phosphor. Honest though forget color if you can move up to gen 3 it will be better regardless!
I’ve also been told that complete darkness is bad for the tube like brightness is. So if you tried to use it in the dark with that pin hole cap on. Or if you were somewhere in the middle of nowhere with no light or no moonlight.
I have never seen this happen or heard it to be an issue. Now I would not recommend leaving them on for hours or days just to drain batteries in total darkness or light because the longer the tube is on you are kinda killing service life and it will degrade over time. But darkness is absolutely what they are for. You may need some supplemental illumination to help see what you want to see but shouldn’t hurt the device.
Thats not true. You even put them into a black box to help with blems you get when you over expose them on light so they reset them self some what. Only thing you loose is a couple of hours of service life that is in the thousends of hours tho.
What brand of carrying case is that. Does the PVS-7 fit tight in there because I'm reading reviews on people having trouble getting them into the case and closing it.
I’m just getting into night vision so I don’t really know what’s good and what’s not. I found a guy that has an ITT 6010 gen 3 Omni 3 monocular. I can pick it up for $1000. Is that a good device and is that a reasonable price?
I would prefer to look through it first. Also check and see what mounting solutions are available because I believe it is a discontinued product. So accessory availability will come into play. Try and get pictures of it working to make sure there are no dead spots in the tube.
No the protective cap is to prevent damage and dust. It does have a pin hole in it so you can (op-test) the unit in normal lighting conditions. That’s why you were able to see so well with the cover on in my example. But in actual darkness remove the cap.
Night vision guys has pvs7 no tube kits for $850 brand new and three year drop insurance for another $150. Still need to get your green or white tube tho.
Man I found a gen 3 MX10130 on ebay in an auction with a starting bid of $165... made the seller an offer for $475 and got a gen 3 mx10130 out of it. Now I just need one of the PVS-7 kits for $799 and boom, a set of gen 3 pvs 7s for under $1500
Well that is completely dependent on the mount you use. You can adjust the focus using the ocular lens but eye relief is fixed on this model you simply just adjust the distance on the mount.
Yup sure is but I have both. I have multiples of both lol a small Allen key and two fine threaded screws and you can move between PSGAT and ACH MICH. I also have Rhino Mount single hole and triple hole ACH helmets as well. Also a few bump helmets I should have clarified but was just talking in general terms.
Hi Chase..I'm Rob just saw your video on the PVS-7 night vision goggles, can you tell me how to adjust the Interpupillary eye distance between our eyes..? Do you just pull the rear eye tubes inward & outward..? My manual says nothing on adjustment. Thanx👍
David Adam optics planet is absolutely a reputable retailer. Just know they won’t have the level of service ability you would get from a dealer like TNVC but if you are getting something tried and true from a known manufacturer that is gen 2 or 3 in the form of a Pvs-7 or 14 you probably can’t go wrong.
@@MinimumSpeedOperator I don’t know if I would use the term “reputable” when talking about optics planet. They have horrendous customer service. They are NOTORIOUS for listing their items as in stock, only to tell you that the item is on backorder for 12 weeks after you purchased. I immediately cancelled an item one time, and still received it 2 weeks later. Yes, you’ll get your items you ordered, eventually. Whether you want them or not.
Depends on the weather as far as run time and if you are running the illuminator as well. But even in COLD weather new lithiums will do 24 hours pretty easily. However I’ve never used rechargeables.
That’s a very subjective question. Red dot on a pistol yes very easy! IR laser yes very easy. Red dot on a rifle ........... PVS 14 would be better but even that sucks! You need an ultra high red dot mount like the products made by Unity and mount the dot very far Forward and it is still slow with the 7s or the 14s. My ABSOLUTE recommendation is to get a good IR Illuminator laser combo and use that for night vision shooting and leave the red dots for day light/white light operations. Now with your pistol red dot these will absolutely work it’s actually really cool how easy with a bit of practice.
@@redsnake93 I own both and have quite a bit of use on both, and really the PVS-7's get way too much hate, and id take 7's with a good tube over duals or mono with a lower quality tube any day. In my experience though they will probably be around the same price as the tubes now are just as high quality as you will find in any other gen 3 device. Also have to agree with the maker of the video, there are a lot of situations where 7's are more ideal than 14's... not saying they always are, but situational dependent such as driving. Ive driven a lot under 14's and didn't have a problem, but have to say I personally found it easier with 7's. Also IR lasers are the way to go, my eotech has NV mode on it, and it is possible to see through it I guess... I have just never used it that way as its so impractical, IR lasers and spots are much more straight forward to use. Thanks to the OP for sharing, I always love nerding out over night vision setups.
Doc G rhanks for the detailed reply, everyone on the NV forum on Reddit completely disregards 7’s so it’s hard to get unbiased info. Even at the same price point I’m leaning toward the 7’s over a mono pvs14. I’m not kicking doors, i just want good performance at a good price.
@@redsnake93 I’ve got a gen 3 pvs7 omni 7 blemless unit prefer it to my gen 3 PVs14 Omni 7. Most of the complaints seem to be about depth perception I don’t personally have that issue. The fov is the same on both and with most duals the pvs7 with a good tube is absolutely hands down one of my fav nv systems to use. Got a set of pvs31s ordered up hope the jump people claim is real with true dual tubes
@@MinimumSpeedOperator alright thanks. Also where to look for them like do you know any decent sites ? And the pvs 7 is it more like duals where you can have to retainer clips one on each side from the helmet? Or like a 14 ? Where you have to clip on one of the holes and retain it through a lanyard attached to your helmet?
Just bought one of this Gen 3 with the skull crushers, rhino mount and other goodies for $1500. The first video on RUclips is from the dude that suys "Don't Buy Pvs 7s they Suck" but I have used the 14s for years in the Army and I HATE not having depth perception, let's not even talk about driving. Hopefully I will like the 7s when I get them.
Hello hope all is well. newbie here sorry for the ?s 1.do you need a permit to own something like that or be military if not mistaken you mention you where in the military? next ? 2.is there something that you can recommend thats is not too toyish but not to extreme pro more like something for beginners fun than can reach 45-50 yards? Because all these i've been seing on youtube there too crazy & expensive for pro hobbyist. thank you for your knowledge videos.
No problem love questions. 1. There is no requirement of military service or government license required for this type of Night Vision device. There are electronic devices and lasers that are for government purchase only however that’s not why we are discussing here. 2. I hate to tell you this but night vision is buy once cry once type of equipment. There are simple tools out there but the trouble will far outweigh the cost benefit. If you absolutely need affordable night vision that does have significant useable capabilities I recommend digital night vision such as Scionics. That is the absolute best bang for your buck as far as just hobby messing around outdoor adventure stuff. The analog tubes like featured in this video will always come with significant cost. The set shown here were over 3000 dollars when new.
Chase Ferguson hello and thank you for your response yeah I kind of figure that from watching all these videos worth a shot but I will definitely check out reviews on the ones you recommended and one last thing any recommendations on sites links where you purchase yours? And thank you once again have a good evening.
TheBerlyn186 yes check out the digital here www.sionyx.com/products/aurora And check out traditional tubes here. tnvc.com Or here. www.opticsplanet.com
Lol just keeping it real. 90% of night vision is for moving around, Driving, observing at night. And that expensive stuff only really becomes an advantage on direct action multi person team raids. So yea don’t need it rather save the money and buy food and ammo. Stuff that will keep me and the family comfortable.but with these I have high quality NV that I can do recon or defense with and they work great if I do need to shoot under NV. 👍🏻
Well I’ll say this any thin film generation 3 tube made by one of the big names is going to blow your mind! However I think that sky watching may be one of the better arguments for white phosphorus tubes. In this situation I wouldn’t go with a PVS 14 just because of the single eye fatigue so I would go dual tube or Pvs 7. However if you wanna take pictures via Tripod and stuff like that then a 14 is PERFECT 👍🏻!
You don’t need a dark room with the cap on that’s the entire point. Also it is gen 3 night vision there are thousands of images that will display what that looks like. This was just a video for my kids at school I’m a teacher and they do STEM class show and tell stuff.
@@randybeeson3424 oh you will really enjoy them I find the PVS-7 to be very user friendly and cause less fuss than the PVS -14. The whole one eye thing can become pretty fatiguing. I think these are definitely easier to drive and walk with.
Lol 😂 the funny thing is that I do have a tripod but my dad had taken it with him on a trip to use with his DSLR camera. I actually made the video for my students mostly just for show and tell to be honest. I’m in the reserves now and teach history full time. The kids love this stuff! But noted! Tripod next time!😎
@@anymanusa yes. I have never delt with them however they absolutely have correct information published about the products and are using L3 and Harris tubes. They also let you know up front about any anomaly in the tube with published data. That tells me they are the real deal. This means their products have been either factory tested and certified or they have independently verified their results. Giving you multiple price levels. All of this is absolutely on the up and up in my opinion.

Would these work if you wear glasses ?
Absolutely you are essentially just going to need to remove eye cups and adjust how far the unit is way from you face. But that’s all.

"$6,000-$8,000 for dual tubes is stupid".... You just triggered everyone who thinks they're elite....
Lol just keeping it real. 90% of night vision is for moving around, Driving, observing at night. And that expensive stuff only really becomes an advantage on direct action multi person team raids. So yea don’t need it rather save the money and buy food and ammo. Stuff that will keep me and the family comfortable.but with these I have high quality NV that I can do recon or defense with and they work great if I do need to shoot under NV. 👍🏻
what's best for UFO viewing... sky stuff
Well I’ll say this any thin film generation 3 tube made by one of the big names is going to blow your mind! However I think that sky watching may be one of the better arguments for white phosphorus tubes. In this situation I wouldn’t go with a PVS 14 just because of the single eye fatigue so I would go dual tube or Pvs 7. However if you wanna take pictures via Tripod and stuff like that then a 14 is PERFECT 👍🏻!
@@MinimumSpeedOperator appreciate the reply !! thanks
Dude the room wasent even dark.
You don’t need a dark room with the cap on that’s the entire point. Also it is gen 3 night vision there are thousands of images that will display what that looks like. This was just a video for my kids at school I’m a teacher and they do STEM class show and tell stuff.
@@MinimumSpeedOperator oh ok I just ordered the same NV goggle and was looking at vids on it. Mine arrives on the 20th.
@@randybeeson3424 oh you will really enjoy them I find the PVS-7 to be very user friendly and cause less fuss than the PVS -14. The whole one eye thing can become pretty fatiguing. I think these are definitely easier to drive and walk with.
pvs7 is 100x better than the 14's.....but both suck in afghanistan
Lol. U have a $4k nv goggles, but not a $40 tripod.
Lol 😂 the funny thing is that I do have a tripod but my dad had taken it with him on a trip to use with his DSLR camera. I actually made the video for my students mostly just for show and tell to be honest. I’m in the reserves now and teach history full time. The kids love this stuff! But noted! Tripod next time!😎
@@MinimumSpeedOperator do you know if anvsinc is a good place to buy these from?
@@anymanusa yes. I have never delt with them however they absolutely have correct information published about the products and are using L3 and Harris tubes. They also let you know up front about any anomaly in the tube with published data. That tells me they are the real deal. This means their products have been either factory tested and certified or they have independently verified their results. Giving you multiple price levels. All of this is absolutely on the up and up in my opinion.
Truly spoken like a person who has neither
@@wouternet94 i have $3200 nv goggles and a $300 tripod. Does that trigger you?
Modern warfare ?
What about it lol
Let's play warzone
No, the modern warfare nvg are digital (its a camera and your just looking at a small screen)
Congratulations on breaking International Traffic in Arms Regulation (ITAR), Title 22 Code of Federal Regulation, Parts 120-130. Enjoy your stay in federal penitentiary.
"It is a violation of ITAR to allow any non-U.S. citizen to look through U.S. Gen3 night vision equipment (even on US Soil)."
And you have no life 😂 Also if Biden got away with billions of dollars of US weapons and aircraft left for the Taliban then they better not come after me! With all that said get a hobby bro 😎.
Go pound sand stupid.
@@MinimumSpeedOperator His hobby is using NVG's to spy on school kids at the playground while wearing a trenchcoat.
