Even an ax14 pro j arm on a PVS 14 is well worth the money. Say it's raining you can leave it down and articulate it up out of the way without filing the objective with water. I'd definitely buy it again. I've never had it moved. Wether you're running or driving it stays where you put it.
I was gonna go with a DTNVS but I think I’m gonna go with an ARNVG now. It makes me uneasy about a housing that can break so easy with a short warranty with a DTNVS.
@@patrickm.blanchard8497 I live in densely wooded areas so I would take manual gain over an onboard IR illuminator because I’m going to need something more powerful regardless. Adding an iris is an unnecessary workaround IMO.
@@Veritas1992 Manual gain only is there to adjust down the brightness of the tubes. Living in densely wooded area and onboard IR would be beneficial for walking with no moonlight or traversing thick areas.
With the RPNVG’s does having those upgraded RPO lens make a difference or does having better quality tubes like L3 over Elbit make a bigger difference?
There is no such thing as pvs14 tubes. Just a pvs14 housing. The tubes are what makes them work at different quality levels think of the housing as wheels and the tubes as tires. You want a durable wheel but different tires offer different qualities in different conditions
Please stop giving weight in grams. We're in America and we use / understand ounces. Nobody knows 490 grams is 17.3 oz without looking it up. Thank You.
The dtnvs is WELL over 3k with no IPD stops, $500 more for ipd stops, no lemo port, and oh yeah.. there plastic. I’ve not heard one issue of the lack of ipd stops on arnvg’s. To recap.. you get a lemo port, metal construction, better warranty, and easier interface, for… 2/3rd the cost of the plastic unit?
You had me at "chimp strength" lmao

I wish both my DTNVS's had a damn LEMO port on them. Sooooo many options now days. DAMNIT!!!hahaha
Man just one more feature with adding manual gain and the ARNVG would have literally all the features.
And really that’s not even a must have. You can get some cheap adjustable irises and get the same function

What about panning? We need ARPNVG

I m new to NV.. are all the variants of RNVGs made with PVS 14 tubes? Is the difference in the housing or the tubes themselves also?

Can you run one tube on the modular battery pack and one on the housing/bridge on those rpnvg? Or do you need both modular batteries?
So much education
What’s the weight difference between this and the DTNVS?
430g vs 485g
You ASVAB score can be single digits!? XD

Agreed 👍
Found the guy with the single digit asvab 👀
Here in Merica, we would say they they way as much as 3 quarter pounders with cheese and all the fixins. 😂😂😂
Then just evolve the imperial system is crap
🤷♂
No me it's not acceptable a housing over 2k€ without IPD stops. And also the integrated IR is stupid since it's a point of failure.
Even if it fails, so what? My PVS-7s had integrated IR, never failed. Decades of use.
