Based on some comment feedback, it sounds like CH is looking to manufacture some additional, and needed accessories, like sacrificial lenses etc., which would be amazing, or even the ability to update tubes, as the housing and features are legit as a base to build on. Appears to be a great entry into the NV world.
Thank you for getting me excited to purchase my first real NVG!
another great video from the boys!
Thanks again!
Think these will most likely be my very 1'st dive into N/V🙌💪🤙🇺🇸
Hey its the guy from Siege.
Cool, glad you found something new and exciting to do!
This brings me back to when i was issued a 240 with a thermal(i peeked through them with my nods)😂
Looking at this I'm very happy that I chose a milspec 14 with an echo. It's just so good! Wouldn't mind a jerry-31 as a high light bino system, ill just use the 14 as a lower light system.
I mean, you had a NVT-4 tube before! :D
Your ECHO+/4G is way better now. But the Jerry is definitely a good unit for the money. But if you have the budget, definitely go for the 14 with ECHO/4G tubes..
What is your FOM? 2300 right? That's way better than 1300 FOM with technology from 1996 (XD-4/NVT-4)
Nice to see your here buddy :)
@@aesthetic8780 mine is 2337, absolutely amazing! I'd rather go for a high end bino, but that's not in the budget for now. If things go as planned I will be able to afford them in a few years. I just hope NV is available to civvies by that time. So many night vision is being kept for military use, and that will only increase.
And nice to see you again as well! I always love the videos! Night vision is addicting, even just watching new videos.
Can't go wrong with a mil spec PVS-14. That being said, the J-14 is a great option for those that are willing to sacrifice some performance for cost-savings.
@coldharbourupply what savings?
They want $3k for the jerry. A PVS14 costs between $2k and $4k with the most common price being $3k.
Thanks for great vid
Thanks for sharing
Very nice and Interesting Video! ive never heard of the Jerry 14 before and now im curious if these will shipped internationaly?
7:59 Those are PSQ 20s, it's a small hybrid. Terrible on batteries. I wear them for work. Looking to get into night vision, I'm thinking I'll get a Jerry cuz it seems pretty modular.
Great vid! So how would the Jerry 31's/14's compare to lowest performing PVS-14's or other lower end mono/binos? I think that would make for a great comparison video seeing as how someone shopping at this price point would be looking for the best performance he can get at this price point. I wish I never had the opportunity to look through an L3 "Super Gain" tube because it spoiled me, making it hard to give more budget friendly tubes fair judgement.
There is a comparison later in the video showing it against other entry level monos.
@@coldharboursupply Oh ok. I thought those were mid-tier or higher units. Thanks.
Where should I mount the sacrificial lens? Can I mount a device to protect the objective lens? Is it possible to install eyepiece protection lenses?
Good test.
DUDE IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR YOU
It's me, here I am.
@@coldharboursupply man I used to watch all of my tips from you on that siege channel, then someone told me something happened to seige and now im like whose gonna train me to be an AK daddy now. Then you just mysteriously algorithm popped in my reels cause I wanted cheap nods lol
Well you got me sold I'll be picking this bad boi up asap Canada night vision is pretty lit a dream job of mine is to work for a night vision company
Thanks!
Haha it's not as glamorous as it seems.
Man that is a game changer
Been waiting for this video since seeing the j-31 video lol
What does the mfL compare to in terms of light available to the device in a real world scenario? Would 1.00mfL be equivalent to a full moon, and 0.01 be pitch black to the naked eye/ no moon + clouds?
@@d4ngru5h83 It doesn't really equate very well because foot-Lamberts is a measurement of the brightness of a surface per square metre. But, as a frame of reference, a movie screen in a dark movie theatre typically outputs about 16 foot Lamberts, so 1mfL is actually quite a bit darker than that by about 5 orders of magnitude.
@@coldharboursupplyah ok, thanks for the speedy reply. Just trying to gauge how these compare to my analog gen 1 monacle. Which only really does anything when you can see well enough with your own eyes anyway😅, however with a seperate ir torch, allows you to see surprisingly clear out to 200-300m. It's a pulsar challenger gen1 btw, incase you happen to have one lying around and fancy doing a video comparing it😂. I've heard of pulsar selling the same device body with gen 2 and 3 tubes as well.
@@d4ngru5h83 if you every want to go gen 2/3, I highly advice to buy a pvs-14. The mounting options are great, parts are readily available and you can use them with all sorts of tubes. Not only that, 3rd party accessories also just about always fit milspec 14's. The 14 is an all-in-one mono.
@@d4ngru5h83 We do not really deal in Gen-1 devices but these will see much better than any Gen-1 due to Gen2 and higher tubes having actual micro channel plates which significantly boosts intensification.
What we can say is the image will be a lot better without illumination. With illumination, even low spec Gen2s will blow gen1s out of the water. The Jerry-14 will be a substantial upgrade as its a modestly specced gen2+ tube.
Do you guys ship to the USA?
my question is does this use 16mm or 18mm tubes for part commonality sake and replacement? also idk but i want autogating i wonder if i can get one installed instead or maybe it doesent matter and iom just being picky ?
It honestly does not matter for most users. I would say look at the autogating section of the video versus just reading online. AG is great, but NNVTs do fine with their BSP. If your goal is protecting the tubes against light damage (which is the goal of most consumer users), the NNVT's BSP is more effective. If your goal is contrast and resolution then autogating will have the advantage, especially moving up to a Photonis tube.
@@coldharboursupply ok
are these digital or analog?
Hmmm, looks like a great consideration.
Can two of these jerry-14s work being paired up with a panobridge mk3 to make a binocular system like other pvs-14s?
You can, but they will need to be collimated for that setup as poor collimation can lead to offaxis images which are especially noticeable in panoramic setups.
@@coldharboursupplyThanks, that’s good to hear. I’d definitely have them serviced. I like the idea of being able to have a binocular device and also be able to split it between two people if necessary
@@coldharboursupply is there a way to correct the image on a 14? My 14 is perfect for the right eye, but if used on the left eye the image is a bit too high (or too low, can't remember). It's definitely not a deal breaker, but it would he nice to know.
Hello there I was wondering if you could do a comparison of the newer style AGM Wolf- 14 Gen2+ NL 1 compared to the Jerry 14 and then the photonis thank you for taking the time to read this I just found your channel and it’s amazing!!! ……by the way I just subbed 😎👍🤝
can you review VISIR PG-25 Night Vision Goggles?
Is the Jerry14 upgradable to dual if I decide to do so at a later date…
With the right mount you can bridge it with another or even another brand thermal
great video! regarding the name, I don’t think it has anything to do with people working in iray. Because their other line up is called “Tom”…
Just something to think about, for the standard pvs14's there is an adjustable aperature to limit the light in, it helps get the best out of the tube, can you get one for the jerry14? what protection is there on the jerry 14 to protect the tube from too much light? thanks looks like a cool product but for $2k I am still leaning to a anpvs14 simple for the more complete parts and accessories . I have an iidea for a video, the cheapest way to hit at 100 yds in the dark. great presentation, thanks
Very very nice
Wish i would have known about this company when i was buying my night gear. Any xhance of trade ins? Ive got 2 pvs7s and a pvs14..all gen 3.
On that note i am looking for an older pvs5c or better, anyone??
Best to deal on the secondhand market. If you are in Canada. Send us an email to sales@coldharboursupply.com
Just for those new to hybrid optics, thermal will not work through glass including most optics. With a 1X optic, because of the offset of the thermal addon, you may be able to see around it depending on the size.
It should work with the offset. Setups and milage will vary. You also have the option of running a bindon aiming setup with running a hybrid on your off eye. So lots of ways to tackle this.
@@coldharboursupply yup, just don't expect to see signatures out your windows. I've been very happy with my infiray bolt. Only issue I've had is the reticle subtentions not scaling correctly. Having manual control on contrast would be nice aswell. Image is perfect, no dead pixels, never need to nuc unless i point at a winter night sky.
Ow wow, I never even thought of that! I knew that you need special glass (selenium or germanium based IIRC) for thermal, just wasn't consciously thinking about it. But I assume that would rule out pretty much all rifle scopes on the market if you intend to use them together with a clip-on? Or are there any rifle scopes (preferrably with variable magnification) you know of which work well as regular daylight rifle scopes when used on their own, but also work well in combination with clip-on thermal?
@@pieterveenders9793 the clip on thermals are mounted in front of your daytime optics. Your optic just magnifies the clip on display.
Aight next question, what is the best pringles flavor?
You're about to witness a man down Pizza Pringles at an unprecedented rate.
@@coldharboursupplyRESPECT
Is it ideal to run a thermal and night vision at the same time?
No ideal is double stage dual layer, having a thermal, night, sonar and x ray vision display. 👍
There are some products that offer both at the same time like overlays. I’m not referring to the famous US Army IVAS googles but there are some monoculars that are almost close to it.
No fun money until February. I'm sure everything will be sold out or the prices will be through the roof again by then.
Oh man, the seige airsoft footage brings me back and makes me sad
Pretty impressive. One thing about these products is I feel people tend to upsell themselves based on what gives the most value. Maybe the most bang for buck is a more expensive unit. Sometimes it doesn't make sense to get something slightly cheaper, more in one's price range, when a better value unit costs $500 or $1000 more. These are important factors to consider, but ultimately, you've gotta make peace with getting the best device for your budget, rather than paying more in total. The best night vison is the one you can have in your hands. Does nothing if you don't actually buy it.
Is this a non ITAR system?
They are Chinese so they shouldn't be ITAR. Unfortunately 99% of border agents don't know that, so crossing borders is risky. Fortunately for us Canucks, cold harbor is a Canadian supplier. ITAR makes buying high end optics a PITA for people north of the border.
Awesome review. Could you also review yoir headset and it's mount? I will browse your videos if you already did.
A helmet setup video will come shortly.
@@coldharboursupply thanks.
Do u hv to mount on a helmet can it hang around night?
Is there a reason payment in USD is almost 2K more than Canadian currency? Considering the Canadian Dollar is worth less than the USD. Just a genuine question
does your VCR also blink 12:00 all day?
@@ilovethefederalgovernment Just sayin' - USD is worth more than Canadian Currency. Why would the same product be 2x more when the buyer also pays for shipping?
It will auto convert upon purchasing. The website currently does not convert to USD until it's in cart.
@@coldharboursupply Thank you sir
I'd be sold if it was cr123a
so 5.5k for both thermal and IR together worth it.
Showing me 6.3k now
why can't a lot of your stuff on your website be sent to the us especially the thermals?
I hope they flood the market.... And I can buy one used for half price next year.
Isn't the J-arm being plastic a good thing? If anything breaks because you fall or have some weird force applied to your helmet it'll be that, rather than fucking up your mounting system itself or your nods.
Most modern mounts will have breakaway features nowadays. This removes the need for a breakable J-arm without sacrificing the rigidity of the mount and the positioning in front of the users eye.
@@coldharboursupply That's very worth noting, I'm looking to get a bump + nods soon so I'll keep that in mind.
Good videos. I also can’t believe how much you sound like Elon musk.
Inb4 "most affordable" is debated to hell. Those people should just get a different hobby.
They clicked, I win.
Or learn responsible spending habits. That daily Starbucks at $15 is over $5K in a year. Often those complaining are wearing the latest fashion trend and the newest smartphone. It's about priorities.
Really wish the comparison was with a better option like an elbit green tube. $2800 gets you a tanto with elbit tube
Not easy for us to get Elbit or L3s internationally.
@coldharboursupply ah gotcha. Forgot you guys were up north. Overall good comparison
Maybe a stupid question but I’m an nv noob, can someone put nice tubes into a Jerry 14 or 31
Could I get a set now and throw L3s in it down the line?
How much?
2300
2,300$ for nvgs with guaranteed quality???? I know what I'm saving for now
I mean, it's nice, but for the price, I'd rather get a pvs 14 that's tried and true combat tested, i mean depending where you look but ive found a few places where the difference is less than 100 dollars between a j14 and a pvs14 set up. The bonus on the j14 is the little hybrid capability it has, but again, that's separate, and im assuming it's not cheap either. You have to be a bit realistic when you say "affordable" based on what you're sacrificing. I'd pay $1400-$1600 for it, but not $2200-$2400.
for 3k why wouldn't I just get a pvs14?
You can! We also have PVS-14s in stock.
@@coldharboursupply your selling point is that the thermal night vision combo is around 6k?
I prefer SIONYX OPSIN, now I do like the thermal aspect.
Sionyx makes good stuff but digital is nowhere near as good as analog
@@TheRealXrayDoc I have used everything from pvs7 to 18s . SIONYX OPSIN is color night vision with recording /photo, gps, and direction indicators. But to each their own
Is this phosphorus or digital?
Neither. Its phosphor.
Everyone getting excited for an "affordable' NV device at just the time that thermal vision is starting to make NV irrelevant.
2200 isn’t “affordable” at that cost I’d rather spend the extra 1500 for a pvs-14
That's awesome! We also have PVS-14s.
For the price just get pvs 14...
Not so possible in Canada. The US is a very different story.
What no seinfeld refrences?
There is straight up a 200$ night vision either scope or nod ... I don't remember right now but it's an airsoft night viz and it works better then a 2,000 dollar nod set up....... Just saying if it works and is effective does it matter if it for airsoft??
There's a huge gap in performance with digital versus analog night vision. The digital may look okay but there's likely a faint IR light shining off the front of it to give it enough light to amplify.
Well I'm very much the person who won't skimp on body armor but optics can be a nightmare to pick from so having a decent one that can take some rough and tumble is hard to do....
Especially if their like 4,000 -6,000 personally I couldn't replace that kind of cost if it broke or didn't work! So I am looking for something just honestly not sure what to choose you know
Digital uses an illuminator and to anyone else using nods you will appear highly bright and visible for 100s of yards. Analog night vision is worlds better because it doesn’t need ir light to work. Thus the cost.
cool story bro
I thought so it was at least entertaining!
so $2k is already cheap ?
$2k+... I'll just use a strobe light (flashlight) on my integrally suppressed semi-auotomatic 12 gauge with a 25 rd drum of 00 as a countermeasure.
Stay poor
chinese caught up
Yall know yall can get real pvs 14s for the same price, and sometimes 500 dollars cheaper? I was expecting to see a sub 2k price with all this 'cheapest nvg' talk. pvs 14s go from anywhere from 2k-2700 right now.
We are located in Canada so the market options and pricing is different from the USA.
IM SO POOR😭😭😭😭
Woahh. Only $2.3k not too bad!
Can I have them? I'm broke.
Bravo Six going dark...
I need this. Cheap Digital nvgs are terrible. Flying down dirt roads shooting with hdlghts off
does this channel fall under the Gravy seals department ?
Affordable..they’re 3 grand base price 🥲
Its like asian adam driver.
I'll take it.
Fuck monoculars. I fucking hated the PVS 14s. I was over the moon when I finally got issued the 7s.
Affordable......LOL
Why would you self own yourself like that
@@ilovethefederalgovernment because I'm speaking the truth in this economy...
@@ilovethefederalgovernment speaking of self owning....how about your profile name...
Lighter means more plastic. More plastic, the cheaper for manufacturer to produce and then raise price because an "improvement" has been made. Night vision has always been out of sight for the common guy to afford. When only one person in a group has it then that limits night fights as a group and can only be used for pathfinding or spotting for one guy. Hunting hogs are the only other reason to have one. Then you need to have a big appetite or barbeque per each hog. It would take you several years to get back your money's worth through hunting. Three thousand dollars is insane to spend for the device. There are all kinds of night fighting techniques that can be relied on just as concretely. I have such a device and know how to use green lasers as well, which I also have. But nothing beats doing it the old fashioned way, after all, the devices are sensitive and may not be relied on when you need it most. I would not use one without a second one on hand. I am a Nam Era homeless disabled Marine and learned a lot about night in the Corps. If you are homeless, keep your stuff stashed where you can refer to it but never be without it somewhere.
$2300 LOL nope
Anderson Arms is calling
was listening to video for most part, never heard actual prices. We've back to see if he posted on screen... nope. wtf is the point of even bringing it up?
irritating af
$2300+ 🤔 Extremely overpriced in my opinion.
Extremely overpriced compared to?????
This is in canadian monoploy money don't forget.
Man I wish they used PVS14 style glass, really bad choice on Infiray's part.
Can I order this from the USA?
Custom Night Vision has them, CHS probably cant ship to the US I'm pretty sure
Yes you can
