Custom Night Vision | Why Transparency Is Important When Buying Night Vision
HTML-код

- There is an indefinite amount of variety between intensifier tubes. Certain vendors have stated that beyond a certain specification the end user will have diminishing returns, furthermore stating that a batch of tubes at a desired minimum spec is more budget friendly and lays out a better purchasing experience for the end user. This is demonstrably false and we will review three intensifier tubes from the same batch with opposing attributes, to show how they do not equate in visual quality or experience.
Vendors have business models that mimics the lottery or gambling $8,000 on something the end user has no input on. We will show why the Custom Night Vision purchasing experience is ideal and should be industry standard.

He's talking about the dinosaur with tiny arms.
Yep my thoughts too!!!
He basically covered the 🦖 part 1 video here in shorter form: ruclips.net/video/qKuFyNOOeCo/видео.html
I could not tell a significant difference in this video, not sure how much difference that makes for head worn tactical tubes, though astronomy would be different.
I wasn’t sure if he was talking about Fudds
@@davidb9323old people lmao
As someone who worked in the night vision/thermal industry for a few years with my own company this video is spot on and to its point very transparent
Thank you sir
Really appreciating the short and sweet video content / education on this channel!
Selecting my tubes was the best part of the whole process
I bought my engagement ring 💍 diamond on bluenile - and yes that experience was cool. Though also easy to just select cut/clarity/color ranges I was good with for my budget to narrow it down. If buying a tube like a diamond just to stare at it or perform resolution tests like a camera lens/sensor/film - that's fine if that's your thing. Its the Indian and not the Arrow though, what's important is getting the tools and getting trained and experienced with it.
I bought my L3 BNVD 1531s from Goonin Gear. Amazing quality, but I would say you guys do a great job at your content. As a marketer, this is what sells products. Being consistent with information and transparency. Also being a company who keeps it real and focuses on providing value to the customer.
Thank you sir
As much as I love Trex Arms and how they're growing the 2A community, I disagree with them on this topic. You guys are spot on!
Thank you.
I’d say you guys set the standard for sure. Transparent as can be
Trex was quite transparent as well if you want to be honest. Their part 2 video is over 1 hour long. Buy a diamond for admiration or an arrow for training. Remember the Indian (training) is more important than the arrow (tool).
You guys are awesome, super transparent with everything! When I’m ready I’ll be grabbing my duals from you just because of the way you deal with clients
We would love to have your business.
Trex has been BEYOND transparent with everything as well... They are not offering the "bluenile" diamond shopping experience to custom pick out an object to stare at... They are selling tools to help quickly equip people so they can train. I honestly did not notice a difference in these comparisons, and probably less likely under operational use. I have compared camera resolution lens/sensor/film/print as well... But it's how you USE the tool rather than the TOOL itself. The Indian > Arrow.
I’ve bought from Kosher and absolutely would not buy from a dinosaur…. Update after I watched the full video. I do like some
of the dinosaurs kydex and nylon and think they do a good job with 2A in general but like the diamond/tube analogy in this video.
Dude I agree, it was hard for me to say something negative about them because I like everything else I do.. but they busted into the market and mocked the customer base lol
Dude. I know almost nothing about the products here except for what you just told me. I don't think I've ever been as convinced about the validity of a message as I am right now.
Hell yeah that’s hanks man!
Bought an elbit tube pvs14 from cnv a few months ago. Loved the process and wicked fast shipping. You guys are awesome!
Thank you sir
I point people to you guys all the time even though I personally have not bought nv from y’all but have gotten some other stuff.
One day it will be in my budget.
Keep putting up the tubes I really like seeing the photos on the website
Yes sir
I bought my L3 tube from CNV…Ben helped us out a great deal and went above and beyond. Very satisfied and will be returning for more
Thank you!
My body is ready, my wallet is not. Keep doing it the right way!
Awesome work. Keep crushing it!
Great info glad you guys put this info out there.
I got my L3 tube from here and love it. Absolutely knew what I was buying before I bought it. Will be using them again for some dual tubes.
Thank you.
Well done, though Trex was honestly transparent and up front about what they are selling versus what CNV is selling. Wishing much success to you both.
I did the custom diamond 💎 shopping experience on bluenile and appreciate that detail, as well as quickly understanding the cut/color/clarity specs that I want for my budget. Diamonds (or cameras and lenses and sensors) vary in use though... As Objects of Admiration vs Tools for use. Most prosumer digital cameras these days are all pretty good to make a 16x20 print or video... Whats most important is the Use / Art though. For NV it is a tool for training. The Indian is more important than the Arrow...
If you want to buy/sell custom arrows that is great - though others just want to get out and train and need Arrows to do that.
Thats what I like to hear. I'm willing to buy tubes that aren't perfect because any NVGs are better than no NVGs but paying the same money as cream of the crop tubes is just a kick in the dick.
Yes sir
I regret highly not getting my binos from you guys. My next pair will absolutely be through you guys.
We will be here man.
The color grade changes had me fucking DYINGGGGGGG
ALL SERIOUSNESS, I had a very strong feeling you guys would put out REAL “education” (as the tiny arm company claims they would) to make sure people really know what they’re buying and saving people a lot of money. This is how it should be
Thank you. Trev kills the edits every time.
@@kevin11288Trev, we Appreciate 🙏
Got a solid pair of 1431s from CNV. Best seller in the game forsure.
I watched Trex's arms video on night vision and it personally left a bad opinion for him and the company, Lucas saying things like don't worry about specs or blems just get out and train, while selling NVG for above retail, like yeah, don't buy night vision from Trex arms...
The reason we made the video man.
All I know is that the NV industry as a whole needs to become more accessible to the masses, NVGs and some sort of PEQ unit should not cost me my first born son plus both kidneys, rifles have become extremely affordable, suppressors are becoming way more affordable and accessible with silencershop, it's now time for night vision to become cheaper and yet retain quality, I know someone is gonna tell me that night vision can never be made cheaply and I feel as though that would be the same kind of person that thought that flow through suppressors would never become available and main stream
We make it as affordable as possible.
@@kevin11288 I have no doubt, but one day I have hope that each tube will be less than $1000 and each peq unit will be less than $800 and still be of quality and completely functional
@brodybarnes3022 Yep that's what we need to see. New PVS 14s going for like $1000. Binos for $2-3k.
@@musicman1eanda you're speaking my language, heck sionyx aurora night vision cameras can be made into NVGs and they only cost like $800, granted it is digital so combat quality would be very much lacking, but hey at least it's usable for training and a good place holder, analog night vision needs to come down to that price, and then there's the somogear PEQ 15 that costs less than $350 and has a full power illuminator and laser (unlike civ legal PEQ 15s) but once again it lacks combat quality, if we could bring the quality to a lower price there would be far more 2A Americans prepared to defend themselves and their country, I wish I had the money and engineering ability to do this but alas I am merely another trigger pulling monkey brain
Snr and ebi was how i shopped.. crazy.
Its almost like certain tubes are better for different circumstances
Yeah it’s pretty crazy.
I’m an extremely satisfied CNV customer. I recommend you guys to everyone that I know who is interested in NVG.
Thank you!
buying my first tube in the coming months. I just got a TW bump helmet.
I'll keep you guys in mind when I pull the trigger.
Thanks dude.
When I buy it will be from you. I appreciate the honesty
Thank you!
Thanks! Saving up
Great video. Thank you
Thank you for watching and and thank you for the comment!
I was super excited when I got my DNTVS from you guys. It was the best set you had in inventory at that time. Excellent specs no blems. Needless to say a was unpleasantly surprised to see the amount of blems I had. The goggles work great but having blems is annoying especially when I spent somewhere around $12k for the unit.
They didn't offer you an exchange? Their return policy states: "Returns will be handled on a case by case basis." For items at these price points, that policy doesn't exactly give the warm & fuzzies.
I just got photonis dtnvs from them and wasn’t happy with the the tubes. They were great and let me exchange for some elbit dtnvs. I dealt with kevin and was able to text back and forth with him anytime.
@@miasanmia2519 I had the same experience as you did. My first time ever getting NV, I picked a tube and didn’t know what I was looking at, got it, wasn’t really satisfied, reached out and they immediately got back to me and gladly exchanged it for a tube that I was actually looking for. It’s honestly the best customer service experience I have ever had, with anything. CNV is the real deal. I’ll be a customer for life anytime I need anything NV related. And their stickers are dope AF! Aloha 🤙🏽
Never buy from anyone who doesn’t let you pick your tubes or charges a premium for “hand selected”. You wouldn’t go to the dealership to buy a Honda civic and let the dealer pick the car.
I don't mind a slight premium for hand select. Some people won't pick it for that reason but that leaves more nice tubes that haven't been picked. So you basically get a better tube for slightly more money.
@@Mr_Glenn or skip that step and just hand pick the unit yourself. Look at custom night vision and lmk if you don’t find at least a few unicorn tubes. Unless you already payed the premium and are just trying to justify the cost in that case gg.
I bought my 31A and 1531’s from y’all and I am a happy customer.
We appreciate you!
"ballin on a budget"
don't buy from dinosaurs ^
CNV is absolutely the best in the business. Recommend them exclusively to my friends.
We really appreciate that!
If I ever blow up in this space. I’m coming back to work with y’all. I love this message ❤🎉
Hell yeah dude let’s do it.
I got a Gucci L3 PVS-14 from you guys and it's been phenomenal. I live in the south east so EBI was a spec that was important to me. Loved I could see the exact specs before i pulled the trigger.
Unfortunately for me, the video didn’t translate well. It’s some of the most grainy night vision footage I’ve seen. But, I’ve learned a lot from your other videos and will likely go with your company around November. Do you guys run Black Friday type of sales?
Well there’s a few reasons for the grainyness. 1st it’s actually VERY dark, second, the lens we were using has a slight zoom. Thank you for watching ABS for the comment.
Not Kevin almost eating the dirt when he ran back across 😅

Stellar video.
It would be super not queer if you had an individual at the tree line or maybe 10/20/30 yards in front of the tree line while demonstrating the differences in tree line definition.
It’s borderline, unequivocally priceless to be able to see (through all the lenses) a homosapien against the tree line since most individuals are acquiring sweet sweet 👀 in the actual visual pleasure of 💦 the 🌌 (owning the night).
Dang
That was 🔥
🇺🇸
Awesome vides
do you guys do tube housing transfers? cause I have a 2778 FOM PVS 14 and I was looking into getting another tube and transferring it into the rpnvg housing?
Yes we do. And we can supply the additional tube and optics.
Hahaha. Whew , shot across the bow. But good on him for putting the info out there.
Definitely feel like that was a jab at t-rex arms. Let's say these two pvs 14s are 3800 and both elbit but you don't know what tubes they are or the specs lol. They are definitely trying to get over on hard working people.
Ps. Custom night vision fucks!!! Buy with confidence!!
I have an elbit W Phosphor tube with 2800 fom, but it gets streaks from street lights. The streaks dissappear pretty quick though. Is it just a sensitive tube ? My other tube doesn't do that
My Elbit does the same thing.
Respect
Lol. Some boy in skinny jeans with a reputable company and exceptional customer service. 10/10.
He gets it
They may not be perfect in all their education but they do a lot of good for the industry and equipping the average citizen. The 2A community needs to do a better job not trashing each other.
Call me crazy but I just don't understand this big drive everyone has for getting nightvision for SHTF, hunting yea thats different. And btw I have had different nightvision optics myself for many years now. The military is moving away from nightvision to thermal b/c of the odds increase almost daily that the US will get into a conflict with Russia, China or a proxy war with them. Russia and China use good nightvision optics in their militaries. And anyone who has played with nightvision knows that someone with the cheapest nightvision can see your IR light from your nightvision opitc from very far off and know just where to aim their gun. lol and there is helmet mounted thermal optics out there the same price as a PVS 14, some cheaper. True you can't shoot from the hip like you could with a helmet mounted nightvision and using a clip on optics is a pain in the a$$ but I would hate to have spent all that money on nightvision and during or before a SHTF situation I find out there are several people in my area that have nightvision as well, would you be walking around shinning that IR light knowing that there is other people with nightvision out there? We all know more and more people are getting into nightvision b/c more and more companies are getting into the nightvision market. lol I have heard for years that people in my area that hunt deer illegally at night use nightvision. Just my 2 cents.
That was like 78 cents but thanks for the comment lol.
@@kevin11288 keep the change. lol
@@kevin11288this made me lol., great response. Would you mind answering his question though? I’m hoping to get into NV so this video was super helpful. As more people get into it and militaries already using it….what’s the counter point?
@@Briathos1 you mean what are the advantages of NV? B/c I ready list the points why you should get thermal over NV. You usually can see more detail and a little farther with NV(scopes. not monoculars like a PVS14 and thats with an IR light) unless you spend around 5k or more on thermal. And thermal can't see thur glass at all. That's really the only advantages I see now. NV used to be cheaper but thermal has really came down alot so they're about even now when comparing apples to apples. I remember the days the cheapest thermal weapon sight you could get was around 8k, now you can get one for less then 1k.
@@Soildus Thermal is great, if you aren't moving. The refresh rate for all the thermal devices isn't great and makes navigation hard. NV is still king of moving and shooting at night.
Also current military is going towards thermal fusion with NV so that kinda disproves you whole notion that thermal alone is better
This is great info, but what about crazy wait times to get the product? Is 4-6 month to be expected?
Zero Lead time!
@@kevin11288 copy that, I checked the site and see that. But I’m in the market for a PVS-21
Someone give me a straightforward answer, I don't want to research and buy custom shit, I want to just buy something, where do I go.
Trex arms is one of the worst things to happen to the 2a industry they do nothing but cry about the industry and provide sub par equipment.
I wouldn't go that far. I think the guys over there have done a lot of positive things for the industry. The recent campaign against anything manufactured over seas may be a bridge to far. Removing some of the more affordable products from the market will hurt the consumer and benefit companies that are already making high margins. with the price leading competition out of the way there will be a shift in market equilibrium. The firms behind this will soon discover that a customers marginal propensity to consume is not limitless, and there may be a shuffling of the deck once again.
@@customnightvisionWe will find out if their products (from Nocturbality) are assembled in a professional manner as they should be. Do you guys think they are not using professional equipment to assemble NVGs?
Shots fired
👍🏻👍🏻
Just name drop god damn
😂😂😂
They changed the lighting man that's all you need!
The information is great, the diamond analogy is spot on. The fact that you talk about "the way we do business" like its a moral high ground, then trying to take shots at trex to get you more publicity, instead of letting your product stand on its own merit is pretty fucking sad though.
Just looking out for the customers.
Would you guys be able to ship to South Africa 🇿🇦?
No sir.
Bought binos from CNV and Ben and Kevin really make you feel like you’re part of the CNV family. I won’t buy from anyone else.
Thank you!
I appreciate your clarity, pun intended... Now we have advancements in digital nightvision which shows that technology is within reach now of traditional NV. I wonder how your company is preparing for the changes in the industry that digital advancements presents in the possible near future?
It’s still a long way off, analog night vision will still be in demand beyond the advent of on par digital night vision as well. Digital camera sensors consume a ridiculous amount of power in comparison. The two technologies will never be apples to apples.
@@kevin11288 So, there is no plans to adjust to the market? Well, I can tell you you're wrong about the power usage, digital consumes way less than analog NV"s. I think if your in the industry yourself, you might find you're being a little presumptuous about digital. Are we there yet, no! It is definitely on the horizon though, and for a company in the industry not to make plans for it is poor business planning. Obstinate business practices lead to downfall.

👍
Bought a cheap setup off Amazon and it werks fer what i needs. Splurged on a thermal rifle scope bc thats where the bullet meets the skull.
Never had any issues with any products of theirs. Not one thing I’ve ordered from them has failed me, and it’s been run hard. I’m still running some of their first Gen Ragnaroks.
I’ll gladly support them, especially when they state that they will give you all of the specs on your items.
To be honest I can't tell much of a difference between the three apart from the blemish. I guess that's good if it saves me money, though to be honest with as expensive as night vision is and how God awful the community is, I don't think I'd ever want to buy a pair. Maybe when you can get them under 1k or digital catches up. Until then it'll always be a cool toy only available to rich snobs.
As stated in the video, the camera is doing a lot to make them more similar
I currently have a PVS-14 Lbit White Phosphorus and I'm clue to having the money to buy a dual set and ya'll will be whom I'm buying from... really appreciate the honesty and I'm not knocking the guys I bought my single from its amazing just think I paid a bit more but tit was a crazy time when I bought it... ya'll stay safe frosty and free
Yes sir
What's it like running around with the 2 images? 1 night 1 normal vision
@musicman1eanda717 don't run and 1 can't see anything where I live unless the moon is full and close... the aided eye takes over ... kind of like looking through a scope with both eyes open...
@Jason-fg4jr Oh that stinks :/ What are the specs?
The small arms of small arms!!
Did T rex arms call someone queer? What was the context behind it? Just now hearing this haha
dont matter if its 3800 FOM or 1600 FOM still better than nothing
But if you pay for “3800 fom” and get 1600 fom…
@@kevin11288 that’d be pretty freaking queer.
@@kevin11288 what I mean is that there are a lot of spec sheet warriors out there who are comparing apples to apples and making the new crowd worry about what nods they get. Obviously someone shouldn’t pay 3800 for 1600 fom but unfortunately the 2a community especially nvg is filled with bullying. I’m a CNV customer myself and I’m happy with what I got.
Lol bruh
As a European, CHS is my go-to!

What? Trex customer service calls you goes over all of the specs and sends you through the tube views. If you dont like it you can cancel the order. Trex is 100% transparent and gives you all of the product info. Dude is literally talking out of his @$$. They do 100% of what he is saying they dont. Dude is just mad that their is competition...
Lucas did say what kind of tube they use. Why you acting like he didn’t?
It was not disclosed until the community pressed the issue.
@@kevin11288 their website has said otherwise
Custom = EXPENSIVE!! NO THANKS.
I have multiple issues with this presentation:
Won't name company in complaint even though you aren't defaming them. Useless to viewers.
Unnecessary association with paramilitary preppers, even though night vision is a scientific instrument adapted to make a vision enhancement device. Many non-American sites don't bring unwanted presuppositions about their customers. As your nation is collapsing, it's only a matter of time before some psycho, deprived of physical affection since birth, attacks people at night while wearing an I2T
Yet another channel with tattoos, and level of lean mass that looks borderline over the natural FFMI limit
Implying other companies, big or small, rarely provide grading
Asserting that non-graded sales are unethical, when you can usually just call them and make a contract to your requirement
Thanks for the compliment on my physical appearance. Sorry you don’t like tattoos. Also, the nation isn’t collapsing so stop listening to propaganda.
The video is about the transparency in nightvision sales that has become the expectation amongst consumers. This is a direct result to our innovative approach to selling nightvision. I’m referring to Trex arms and it’s abundantly obvious.
I don’t know what you’re referring to when you mentioned paramilitaries but I ascertain that many of my statements have triggered you.
@@kevin11288 It is collapsing. Just like Europe. Even East Asia is in big trouble because the most intelligent and skilled segment of the population is effectively sterile. The world population is between 82 to 86. That's a colossal number of ecological tragedies, and consumption of non-renewable resources, just to feed billions of humans which can't solve the most basic of mental tasks. The average nation has in its population 1 percent or fewer people who can solve a task like calculating the cost of carpeting a house based on a floor plan, which is simple multiplication. 14% of Americans are up to it.
