    I got my apnvg's for $20,099, with L3 filmless white phospor. From Nightfall Optics. Very impressed, wasn't sure about them at first. But they are VERY good.

      That’s a ridiculous price. Idk why some of these dudes sell stuff as cheap as they do. He didn’t make much lol

    Solid video. My experience with the Argus lenses and housings for their 31a and pano has been good. Solid construction with optics that I enjoy using.

      @@customnightvisionthe lenses are identical between the two. Only difference is that it’s cut and fused at the rear for the gpnvg. Same method of collimation as well.

    I doubt very much I'll ever have either of these, I kind of like having a roof over my grape! It seemed to me the Argus had a better transition than the L3 unit as well. If I win the lottery, I'd get the Argus and go with Elbit PH tubes, I like the contrast of Elbits versus the L3s. The L3s I've seen all look washed out in everything but the lowest of light conditions, at least to my eyes.

    Nightfall optics has them for 20k with elbit tubes and 24k with L3 tubes. Us night vision has them with elbit tubes for 25k. Us night vision has an all black housing as well as the fde. Thanks for doing this video. I haven’t seen any on the Argus and when the funds provide, I will pick one up

    "If the only thing holding you back is your reservations about optics quality..." - I WISH!! I'm struggling to find $ for my FIRST nvgs and do not evaaaarr see how a set of panos could be in my future. (I am accepting donations and discount codes, btw) But regardless, my duals are gonna be with you folks, so see ya soon(ish).

      Set up a savings account just for them and it will blow your mind how fast it'll grow. If you can swing it set aside $100 a week, that's 5,200 a year if you're not using a high interest savings. It'll encourage you to sell off things you don't need or want anymore too

    I rolled the dice on the Argus lightweight optics for my MH-1 and I was surprised I can't tell any difference from them to milspec glass, I wouldn't have any reservations about buying Argus products. Pretty sure most the milspec glass comes from Singapore anyway (correct me if I'm wrong) and even at that I'm not sure they actually cut the glass either

      Mil Spec just means it has to take submersion in the fires of Mt Doom for 16,000 hours and come out unscathed.

    i got a question: boomslangs on a panning binocular vs QTNVS: what's the overall field of view difference? my understanding is that panos are generally 100 degrees and boomslangs are 50. is there an angle you can pan boomslangs out to that'll give you GPNVG awareness without having to lug four tubes around? the Argus housing seems like a good bargain, you can get them with echoes for like 13k, but you could go for L3 tubes in a panning bino for closer to 10 or 11k so it's a tough call

    • @customnightvision
      @customnightvision  12 дней назад +1

      I never recommend panning binos. but id do panning binos with mil spec or rpo optics over boomslang in any housing.
