Your production quality is so high that I assumed that you must be a huge channel and I had somehow missed your previous content. Keep up the good work. There is a huge need for someone to explore the tactical world with a budget!
Ayeeee! Thank you Samuel!! Thats really rad to hear, I appreciate you taking the time to watch the vid and say that! I'm already gathering data and content on the follow up with the dual Wraiths, as well as a few other non-nvg videos in the works. :) I'll try not to let you down! haha thanks bro!!
This dude came out of left field with impeccable production quality. Very nice
Thankssss Hamski! Appreciate hearing that! I'm having fun with it for sure, hope you dig the next one!
This is the next 100k channel for sure. High quality, good camera work. And a nice mic.
Moorus, thanks for saying that! Really cool to hear that! I've enjoyed and learned so much from content on RUclips it feels good to be giving a bit back! 100k would be sweet, but im super thankful for the 100 of you guys that are already hanging with me! lets gooooooooo!
the only issue with any of this is that you don't have more videos to binge at once. incredible work, better production value and smoother style than anyone else I've seen in the space. keep it going, you're golden
ha! Thank you so much! Honestly, March-April is one of my craziest IRL work times, but I'm wrapping up edits on my next release as we speak my friend! :) It should be out ASAP, and now that my work schedule is coolin off I should be able to get a groove for the next few months. Appreciate the kind words, and thanks for hangin!
I am a military veteran, and I've gotta say I respect the hell out of your self awareness as being an enthusiast. There are too many people out there who think they're "billy bad ass" because they've maxed their credit cards on anything with the word "tactical" on it. I love what you're doing, and definitely keep it up! (subbed)
The algorithm randomly promoted this. Cool vid!
ayeee thats rad! Thanks for taking the time to click on over and check out my vid! Appreciate ya!
Man's gone and replied to every comment, has excellent camera work and a good mic declared his relationship to sight mark, and has written a solid review, and he doesn't even have 1k subs yet, I see you actually reviewing and dwelling in analog nods soon man with this sort of quality you'll go places, keep it up man👉👉
haha! Thanks Cooper!! tbh, I never expected my first video to pop off with so many comments!! haha But I'm enjoying it, and its dope getting to chat with everyone digging the vid! I'm sureee I'll end up playing with some analog nods for sure too bro haha Digital NVG is just the gateway drug thats for sure!
Can't wait to hear more about this. Interested to see how this does with a 2nd tube added to your setup!
Thanks Austin! It arrived a couple days ago and I started putting in some time with it and filming some stuff :) excited to gather and share my thoughts! appreciate you stopping by man!
Such an underrated channel, great editing and film quality, and amazing overall feel of the videos, appreciate you.
Thank you brother! I really appreciate that!
Wow. informative, practical, stunningly well produced, featuring the nicest dude you'll ever meet. Well done!
Mannnn, thank you! Appreciate the kind words a ton! Glad you enjoyed the video, hope you enjoy the next one if you catch it. Thanks again Thomas!
I am amazed at the production value of this video, and was absolutely SHOCKED to see that it's your first. Very well done! Instant subscription, can't wait to see what you do next.
Also you should see if Sightmark will let you borrow two more so you can make a quad setup with digital tubes lmao.
ahahah quad wraiths!! I mean... that would make for some epic ass photos lmao 10/10 idea!! Thanks though brother! Thats really kind of you to say, really really appreciate it! I'm working on more content as we speak, so I hope you continue to dig your time here. Thanks man!
Your voice can put me to sleep😪 and I ain’t complaining 🫶🏼🫶🏼
Hahah!! A little asmr with your night vision good sir 🥱🥱🥱
Yeah, man, that is gold level ASMR especially with that smooth jam playing low in the background.
@@robertalford1321 helllll yeah! haha Glad to hear that man! Thats my favorite kinda video to fall asleep to! unintentional asmr is 10/10
Brother…production quality alone… I have subbed in first 40 seconds of video. Well done Sir.
Thanks Aaron! Really appreciate that my dude!
Wow, absolutely astounding work. Definitely earned a subscriber
Thats awesome, thank you! Really appreciate you hanging and subbing!
I will be watching your channel with great interest; this is the type of channel I've been looking for.
Thanks Drengr! Good to know there more like minds out there! thanks for hanging man!
Glad to see digitals improving as time goes on their the only way to get NVGs for sub 2k so it’s always nice to see new ones being produced, I got lucky and got a PNV-10T for 900 a year ago but seeing digitals improve gets me interested.
Ohhhh tarkov vibes! haha thats awesome man! I love that style of nods in general; I think when i eventually step into analog I want to get a PVS7 styled unit. I know theyre not the most practical but, i loveeee the vibes. Totally agree on digital; in a few years i think its all we will be talking about!
@@bargainbintactician they are great for the price I snagged them for, just really heavy like I think it’s probably the heaviest unit out there aside from quads lol. I will warn you about PVS7s or my 10Ts your visions is kinda funky under them compared to duals or a mono but it’s not super hard to get used too also aiming through a optic is super hard.
There's no way this channel is not going to blow up. The camera work alone is great. The video didn't ramble around with useless filler but was kept simple and to the point.
Thanks Artorias! Really appreciate that feedback! Glad you enjoyed your stay homie!
I love how this was recommended to me. RUclipss already giving you recommendations man, GL on your journey
yoooooooo thats awesome! Thanks youtube algorithm gods haha And thanks to you for saying something and hanging Dillon! Appreciate you!!
Dudes channels gonna be rockin if he keeps this up
Appreciate it dude! I'm gonna give it a shot! Thanks for hanging!
Fantastic video. Quality is top notch. Looking forward to more.
Thank you so much! I appreciate you making time to hang with me for a bit 🤙🏻🤙🏻
@@bargainbintactician Absolutely.
Got me wantin a wraith man,subbed and looking forward to your next vid!
haha I GET IT bro! theyre sick! and for less than a G, I honestly dont think theres a better choice out there. Appreciate it man, thanks for leaving a comment and watchin! :)
Nice video Buddy, well put together and informative……keep up the good work👍🇬🇧
Wanted to say great first vid. Love the live fire sections too.
That said, analog NVG doesn't start at 5K. I know you were eyeballing some crazy L3 unfilm units but most PVS-14s float low 2s. Is $2000 more expensive than this thing? Absolutely, but after you bino these you're in $1200 plus your custom bridge and mounts. (You're also making your battery problem worse. Vs 50 hours on a lithium AA with a PVS-14.) You're a stone's toss from some really amazing Gen 3 NV. I've seen those Unity risers on your blasters; you can def get Gen 3 if you really wanted to. Just my honest thoughts. I had friends who bought Sionyx Auroras and returned them the moment they looked through even my rattiest NVGs.
Thank brother! Really appreciate that!
Totally get where youre coming from here too. But the thing is, here youre comparing a dual wraith set up to a monocular analog set up price wise, so yeah its a little closer. but also, since were going with legit analog I'm assuming youre not gonna buy an airsoft helmet, and a airsoft rhino mount. Youll likely go with a team wendy, or opscore bump helmet or maybe even a rad ACH thats got some ballistic protection for 200+, then youll need the real rhino mount since were going legit, so thats another couple hundred, and then youll need a J arm to mount the thing to the rhino. so youre 2k entry starts to become closer to 3k and thats for a monolucar set up. so if we compare that to the wraith monocular set up to THAT, even INCLUDING helmet, mount, 3 rechargeable USB battery banks that last for about a week each, and the monocular itself, im still sitting at 800 instead. So yeah its still the cheaper option if youre comparing set ups 1/1. But I'm not saying the EXPERIENCE is going to compare 1/1 to an analog set up AT ALL either lol dont get me wrong. And if sightmark hadnt hooked me up with the initial Wraith, I likely would have gone straight to analog. But since they did, I figured it was worth the investment to see how they would perform as a dual set up. I'm honestly really interested in getting a PVS7 lmao the clunkiest of analog set ups, but its such a vibe. The wraiths certainly wont be the end of the NVG journey haha Thanks for the thoughts man, I love talking shop so I appreciated you taking the time!
@@bargainbintactician I am comparing a bino Wraith to a mono 14 because I'm of the opinion it's a better setup yeah. I run some personal units as rentals with PTS MTEK Flux helmets ($125) Norotos Rhino IIs ($60) and USGI J-Arms ($20). It's still $180, but works fine; you stand to benefit very little from a $600 carbon helmet or $450 Wilcox mount on a PVS-14 setup. At $2200-2500, I do personally think the PVS-14 is more than twice as effective as the $1200 dual Wraith setup. The reason I say that is NVGs are cool to do night blasting but ultimately their biggest strength is being able to move and navigate without being easily observed by a person. As navigational tools, the Aurora, Wraith, and Gen 1 type systems really aren't that great, and they typically need supplemental IR that is a dead giveaway to not only nods but basic digital cameras or doorbell cams.
Just for context, you take that dual Wraith setup (you got a freebie in this case), add your Vortex UH-1 and Unity riser and you're in Gen 3 territory. Might seem like a cool way to spend $1200, but once you look through a Gen 3 device you might feel buyer's remorse pretty hard.
As far as PVS-7s go, they are neat, but I would save a little more and push to a PVS-14 that isn't AGM/ATN/Trybe/Wolf or one of the other knockoff brands. You'll find that most NVGs standardize on PVS-14 components (RNVG, DTNVG, Mod 3, Katana, LLUL, QTNVG, BNVD-1431, etc.) while PVS-7s have delicate mirrors and proprietary electronics and intensifier tubes.
Best of luck with your NVG stuff though, just be judicious about what you're blowing money on.
subbed. Damn you came out of nowhere with this great quality video.... on the topic I was JUST lamenting over.... weird algorithm
bruh we can lament together! haha Night vision is the ultimate white whale, and we will chase that SOB homie! Jokes aside, appreciate you hanging and thank the ol algorithm for favoring me!!! Glad you found your way here man!
Amazing video, brother. I’m looking to get into NODs. I had no idea these were even an option. Glad this popped up on my recommended vids.
I'm glad you found it helpful bro! I had never heard of them until the rep reached out either! So sick!
Awesome video this channel is already one of my favorites, I'm more than confident its gonna blow up in popularity.
Thank you! Truly appreciate it!!
Hell yeah damn near instant subscription thank you boss!
Appreciate that!! thanks for hanging and Im glad you enjoyed the video!
Damn! The production value of this video is INSANE!
ayeee thanks Mathew! I had fun putting it together!
Great video! I've been looking into NV for airsoft but I couldn't bring myself to pay so much for analog tubes. These look pretty good, might give them a chance.
Also, keep this channel alive! You are doing some awesome work!
Oh the wraith would be rad for airsofting for sure! having the ability to record on it, and use it in day/night conditions would make it super useful for capturing games through the nod haha thanks bro! really appreciate that, thanks for hanging!
@@adakar I know that. Where we play, you are only allowed to use digital NV or analog with ir flood lights. Also, gen3 tubes are not really available here. Most guys run ex-communist gen1 tubes. One guy has a setup with a BMP-2 driver's NV intensifier tube mounted onto his gun with custom optics..
Imagine spending 700$ on night vision for airsoft
@@sikertsok225 insanity
@@Nave6W Sorrey, not exactly had it on stock. The guy who runs it runs some fields, has a RUclips channel in the country. He got one to promote and I bought it from him. If I wanted to buy this exact device I would need to wait 1-2 months for customs clearance and other shite. Still cost an arm and a leg but I've been looking into NV for a good amount of time and put some money away.
Great production quality!! This was informative and you were pretty clear about the need for IR in full dark. Looking forward to your next vid!
Thanks Bill! Appreciate you watching and saying something. I will be focusing more on that in the follow up video for sure. I'll have some more examples of it with and without IR. Thanks again man, hope you dig your stay!
This is the content I need in life. Thar was an easy subscribe.
Wesleyyyyyyyyy, thanks bro! Appreciate hearing that! Dig your stay my dude
Great job on the video. I'll be scooping one of these for sure
Super quality video, one of the most proffesional reviews i have seen on youtube
Thanks for saying that Joba! For real, appreciate you taking the time!
I was blessed to have a friend find me a gently used blemless Elbit Gen 3 thin filmed green phos PVS-14 for $1950 shipped. Low Light Innovations makes a terrific "white" filter that essentially mimics white phos in appearance with limited light transmission loss for only $25. To save money on the mount, he suggested an "Evolution Gear L4G24 NVG Mount Perfect Replica" for only $85 shipped instead of the $465 for the real one, and the quality is phenomenal. I also picked up a used Wilcox AN/PVS-14 Arm for $150 shipped down from the original $229 price. Botach has a Longfri Level IIIA ballistic helmet for only $199 that is around 3 pounds, good quality for the price and there are lots of ballistic test on them.
that sounds like a great set up man! I've never heard of Botach, I'll have to check em out!
@@bargainbintactician they have lots of discounted tactical gear. Do your research before buying anything but my experience has often been good.
Oh my.... you are going to go to the top real quick my friend. The quality of your video is superb, thank you for sharing with us, and I am hoping to see more from you in the future. Stay frosty bro.
ayeeeeeeee! thanks bro! Thats rad to hear haha Thanks for hanging, hope you dig your stay my dude!
Love the video, solid work!
Appreciate it Derrick! Thanks for hanging !
Bro this video is dope as hell! Awesome video and audio quality, informative, but also accessible for noobs like me. Keep em coming!
Woo!!! That’s rad to hear homie! Appreciate you taking the time!!!
This is brilliantly produced for being your first video.
Thanks Isaac! Appreciate that!!
Can’t wait to see where you go man! Liked and subbed! You should do a helmet accessory vid, I have a HHV and don’t have the money to set up some comtacs or peltors so I’m running my walkers with the band under the helmet lol
Thank you so much bro! Really appreciate hearing all that honestly! I feel you on the coms side haha it can get crazy expensive! I will definitely add a helmet set up video to my list of ones to make, thats a great idea! Thanks man! Appreciate you hanging
Dude if this is the quality of your first video I cannot wait to see where this channel goes. Keep up the good work homie, RUclips needs more content for civies on a budget.
dudeee thank you! Thats really encouraging to hear! Glad to know I'm not the only civ-only that digs this stuff haha
Great content and information brother. These are extremely compelling for the price and performance. From my experience running pvs 14s in the marine corps, we ran our monoculars on our non dominant eye. So in the even of a flare you don't blind the eye you mainly shoot with and can still engage in the bightness that may have just occured with your weapon. Since you're gonna go with a binocular set up this won't really matter, but for anyone running monocular nods it's useful to know. We got very comfortable working at night with them, to the point where even if i had the money for dual tubes I'd probably still go with one. It's nice to easily transition to just using your eyes or for other tasks where you gotta change focus for something close. Looking forward to more of your videos! Immediate subscriber right here!
Thats awesome to hear man! Thanks for sharing your experience! that kinda stuff is so valuable. Honestly I can totally see preferring a single tube set up at the end of the day! Espeically how you mentioned. After trying both eyes with the wraith for a few nights I landed on non-dominate as well. It become pretty second nature going between light/dark areas that way. and another perk of the wraith being digital in that scenario is you dont risk burning out your tubes haha Thanks for watching and leaving such a detailed comment homie! Glad to have you!! Appreciate the sub big time.
Super excited to see NV become more affordable. Even if it isnt as good as an analog tube, seeing the dark is still a huge advantage
yeeeeep! theres a few layers in my mind: no night vision, gen 1/digital NVG, gen3/duals of some kind, and then the final god-tier of also having thermal interlaced in your NVG set up haha so much moneyyyyyyyyyyy
Wonderful production quality for a new channel. Looking forward to seeing where you go with it. If you want to compare notes on the Wraith feel free to get in touch as I have some experience on a pair.
Hey thanks so much Anvil!! I would love to chat about it! I just watched your review and man that was eye opening seeing it compared directly to the Sionyx FOV haha! Pretty interesting seeing the quality difference jumping from 720 to 4k as well. How should I reach out to you guys? Instagram? ...can you message people on youtube? lol im such a noob here!
Instagram is fine.
Look at that, a new favorite gear channel!
Gilleyyyyyyyyyyyy! Dude, thats rad ahah Thanks for saying that! Glad you enjoyed the video and I hope you dig the next one!
Video production is top tier 👌, audio levels are balanced well music and gunshots weren't painful with headphones or distracting (wish I could say the same of other youtube channels) overall great video I'll be excited to see what comes next, but for now you earn yourself a new subscriber :)
dudeee thank you! I appreciate that a ton! I cant stand getting blasted by gunshots when I have my headphones in either haha Thanks for taking the time to watch the vid and say something, really encouraging!
yeah the sound and cinematography is on point.
Great video, amazing quality. I look forward to seeing more!
Thanks a bunch Deckard! Appreciate you hanging! Working on more right now
I can’t believe this is a new channel
Thanks Tee! :)
Bro wth, I watched the whole video then clicked off and went to subscribe and saw you only have 754 subs and that this is your first video, that’s insane, I was fully expecting an account with like at the very least 800k subs, this video quality and smoothness is insane, cheers to you brother and I wish you the best for your future in RUclips, I’ll be around for it😈
Brooooooo :,) thanks so much! Really that is so damn encouraging to hear. I'm thankful for your support and really glad you enjoyed the content homie! More on the way soon!! Hope you dig your stay :)
Great production man. These is some top notch channel vibe. You'll be there in no time and I've been waiting for this video. Can't wait to see your update.
Appreciate that James! Thanks for swinging by and hanging with me :) I've been playing with the second tube for a few days and I'm excited about gathering some more data for the follow up! Thanks again man!
@@bargainbintactician Awesome, Subscribed and can't wait to see how it turns out.
This is your first video?? Holy shit man. This is some insane quality
Thank you! Appreciate that!! Thanks for hanging and dropping a comment my dude!
Starting off a channel with this level of quality? Instant sub
ayeeeeeeeeeeee 55 grain! Appreciate it my dude. Thanks for the sub!! Working on the follow up video right now!
thanks for the info... some NVGs I might actually get
At least theres finally an option right? haha Felt so out of reach until recently! Thanks for hanging Matty!
Imagine makimg a first video with higher quailty than pros, 10/10 debut
damnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn thats high praise Lotus!! Thank you so much for real!
Stoked to see a dual rig update! Subscribed, and I hope the rest of your stuff is as high quality as this was.
Ayeee thank you man! The second tube has arrived and I’m gathering content as we speak! Appreciate you hanging out for this video and subbing! That’s huge for me!! Thanks again!
Great video! Super informative and useful. I have been looking for a good budget nightvision setup for a long time👍🏻
Thanks Ian! Glad you stumbled into my little corner of youtube haha If youre looking for NVGs on a budget the wraiths are a rad place to start for sure!
Bro this video is so good!!!! Amazing job, well done man!!
Diddllllllllllllly!!! Thank you sir!! Thanks for stopping by and hanging with me!
Awesome video. Keep it up king
Appreciate it Zack! We're all kings here!
How are you out here making such high production vids right out the gate. Definitely subbing! Got out of the marine corps in 2021 and looking to build up my gear while going to college so my budget is definitely a big factor.
Also your point about not wanting to get digital hit with me because I didn't even think about but using my pvs-14s while I was in the gun club I pretty much always had to have the IR wash turned on because of what you said so I think this is gonna be on my list of stuff to buy! Got myself an AR to build recently and now I'm looking to get a handgun and what not but I think the rest of my kit will be next after that.
Kris, thanks so much for the kind words my dude! I really appreciate it! Sorry it took me a couple days to get back to ya, my spacebar stopped working on my keyboard, probably too much raging on COD haha! But to your point, thats continued to be my experience really brother! Obviously my shooting is restricted to civi stuff on the range, or out in the woods shooting at paper alone haha But anytime other dudes are around rocking night vision, I see them using IR all night too. If the FOV on the wraiths was as wide as the PVS14 there would literally be no contest considering price points of both units. And the longer I spend with the wraiths the less I even notice the tight FOV. I mean, like the pros say, training is everything. So whatever you get, spend time with it and youll be more prepared than the dude with a million bucks in gear that never practices anyway! Thanks again for the kind words my dude, appreciate you!
@@bargainbintacticiansomething tells me you play wagers on cod.
Really excited to see more from your channel this is great!
Thanks Possum! :) Really glad youre enjoying the content; I love putting it together! :)
You are about to dominate this sector of RUclips if you want to
I enjoy seeing a review from the perspective of an average consumer instead of a professional enduser- while the professional perspective has its place, implementing/adopting their suggestions from a civilian's standpoint is often impractical
looking forward to the dual setup as well
Thanks T! It's good to hear that honestly! It's a little daunting creating content for a world, where like you said, has tons of pro's putting info out there. But I felt what you did; sometimes it is impractical to people who aren't working in the field. Thanks again for watching and leaving a comment, it really motivates me. :)
Well done! I have put off buying something like this for years because of the price, but now that I do a lot more hunting it would be great to navigate to a stand or blind without using white light (among all the other obvious applications).
And I'd like to say this, thanks for not using a bunch of profanity. That's just a pet peeve of mine.
Instant sub, wonderful production, great audio and concise enough! Great work!!
Thank you Thomas! Appreciate you taking the time to notice all that and say something! Glad you subbed!! Hope you enjoy your stay my friend!
Wow fantastic video! How do you not have more subscribers!? I guess too many tacticool guys only care about blowing their money on the most expensive most hyped products
Really under rated channel and very high production quality. Good job man
Thanks D! Rad to hear that, appreciate you!
Awesome definitely need more of this. Great quality too
Thank you so much! Appreciate you leaving a comment and watching!
So, full disclosure, I bought two chinese pvs-14 clones awhile back. IR-cut camera in it, 2 or 3 x magnification, so that sucks, but they work. it allows me to see any IR source of light, allows me to move okay, and it says it can be mounted to a helmet or rifle. Costs about 150.
Thats making it happen bro!! Love to hear that.
I thought you had way more subscribers than you had just from the quality of the video! I can’t wait to follow your channel and see how far you go. Good work man 👍
Ayeee! Thanks dude! Appreciate that! I'm working on more as we speak!! Hope you dig your stay !
Absolutely impressed by this channel
thanks Billy boi! haha Love the name! :D Hope you dig the follow up when it drops! Real soon!!
Great production bro, keep it up, just subscribed
Thanks Ariel! Appreciate you dropping a comment and hanging!
Very cool! Is there any noticeable latency with the screen?
on 30fps, its too gooey to be used for force on force or tracking a moving target in my opinion, but with the unit set to 60fps and the exposure time to short there is virtually no latency. I'm sure there is some level of milliseconds of delay involved, but as far as practical use, it feels instant. If youve played a PC first person shooter with a rig that can keep it at 60fps constant itll feel familar.
@@bargainbintactician Awesome! I just got my first PVS-14 a couple weeks ago and am wondering what alternatives there are for a backup. Excellent video quality keep it up!
Great video!
I have had two first gen analog tubes for quite a while, but I bought the Sight Mark Wraith HD 4-32X50 and I prefer the Wraith over the analogs any day/night! And it is the fact I don't have to worry about tube burnout if someone starts a strobe or high wattage lamps in the area, but the main reason, is the fact I don't have to swap anything to shoot in bright daylight or moonless overcast night. ANd the so called 200 yard range with the IR emitter is actually much farther!
Thats awesome to hear man!! I totally agree with your perks, not having to worry about damaging the tubes while doing stuff in bright rooms or during the day is such a handy feature. Ive had a couple sets of PVS14's in the studio since making this video and anytime I have them around Im always scared of damaging them, especially because theyre all loaners haha such a releif when I throw the wraiths back on. I love em! Glad youre diggin yours!
What amazing content you have produced here. Congrats on your channel and keep bringing more content to us! Cheers from Brazil!
Wow thats really awesome to hear its reaching across the world haha Thanks so much for hanging out!! Appreciate it a ton!
Great Vid. Looking forward to your next video when the 2nd one comes in.
Thanks Chris! It has arrived and I'm working on collecting data/footage as we speak! :) Hope you enjoy your stay my dude!
Bro, that was super high quality. Great job on your first vid...you set a high bar for yourself. One quick question, you supplimented with the USB batter packs and get "weeks" of operationality while using every day. Is that with the back up batteries and how long did you use it for each night while maintaining that battery life?
Hey Hambone! Thanks man! I really appreciate that feedback, thats rad to hear. And to adress your question, yeah I certainly didnt mean weeks of run time haha! I meant weeks of use, in what I use it for daily: Taking my pup out at night, and dry fire training for about an hour each night. So youre looking at 6-10 hours of run time from each battery pack I'd say.
Subbed! I dont own NV of any sort. For people like me that have zero experience with this. An in depth explanation of the setup and the things needed to have said setup at some point would be highly helpful. Great work! Thanks!
Awesome Steve! Thats helpful feedback for sure! I know, I bought the wrong mount myself the first time around because I didnt know any better! In my follow up video/videos I'll include a 'set up' for sure! Appreciate the sub my dude!
@@bargainbintactician Absolutely man. As many others have already stated your vid quality is damn good. Thank you! I also didn’t realize you could get a NV monocular for 700 bucks. I had a bad experience with sightmark way back so i just didnt even consider them a viable option. Speaking of. Any info on how well this thing works in the elements? Basically if you get caught out in the rain is it gonna be fine?
Quality is insane really nice u got a subscriber
ayeee thanks Walker!! Appreciate you saying that! Thanks for sticking around bruh!
Just stumbled onto your channel, keep up the good content.
Thanks Thomas! Appreciate that!
thats some serious drip in the thumbnail
Thank ya! haha Its mostly milsurp from Kommando Store, a really sick online military surplus store. They make the chestrig im wearing, and all the camo im wearing is their dyed DPM camo patterns. Super rad store.
@@bargainbintactician I've browsed their catalogue a couple times, the british desert night dpm or whatever is called is pretty cool but sadly they're never in stock for their custom stuff or its never in my size, lol
@@blacktuesday7427 the sizing thing kills meeeeeeeeeee lol I need extra long arms on large tops most of the time so im usually SOL. I lucked out for sure. I have missed out on so many cool milsurp drippy items because of my mongoloid arms 0/10
@@bargainbintactician Same, I'd purchase a heck-ton more from Kommandostore if they had better stock management for their products, but such is the way of surplus I guess.
Do you have a video on the helmet setup you use, first time viewer of the channel. Great video btw!
Well hey you earned a sub. First video is great. I've been looking at the syonix opsin but this is a fair bit cheaper.
Ohhhh the OPSIN is on another planet from this brother haha The amount that unit can see without IR is insane, and then it being so small, and full color and all that jazz. DAMN! I lust after one of those haha I'm sure in a few years that tech will be a little more commonplace though... hopefully haha I love the wraith, and totally recommend it still, just very different units at the end of the day. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment man! The sub is huge!! Im just getting started so I really really appreciate it dude!

Awesome first video! Prof quality is top notch. Might look into these. Quick question though, are lens protectors available? Just wondering for the context of MilSim Night games.
Thanks Jk! I honestly don’t know it there are! But the lens caps do thread on, so I’m sure some will be out eventually if not already
@@bargainbintactician Thank you brother 🤙🏼
Details on how you mounted your walkers? Love the production quality man! Definitely earned a sub!
Thank you man! Really appreciate that! First i had to upgrade the arc rails on my airframe because the standard airframe rails dont have any attachment points on the lower half the way opscores do. After adding the Mlok ARC rails from Nocturn industries, I then snagged a set of HearFalCom Walker Razor Arc Rail Adapters off amazon and a heat gun and moved the walkers over there. Pretty straightforward, but watch out for the little arms that connect to the walkers; id use a heat gun or they might snap when installing.
Finally someone has the same arguments I have of digital vs analog, the only thing I didn't is how is the latency with it?
I've gotten a few questions about this and honestly it must be a bigger problem with other digital units because I havent noticed any latency to speak of. Being a video guy, I immediately went and played around with the advanced settings and set the wraith to be 60fps, with a short exposure time and its snappy. It comes default at 30fps and It does feel a little gooey there, but no frame stuttering or latency to speak of. I can jog/run with the unit on, and pop up to a target no problem. No rendering delay or whatever. it feels like playing a pc game at 60fps. Just nice and smooth. In the follow up video Ill be sure to include more quick movements and such to show it off a bit. Thanks for watching man! Im excited to see where digital goes over the next couple years for sure too!
Great video man! I’m starting out to! Good luck!!
I can hear our wallets crying in sync!! haha thanks man! Appreciate it!
Interesting. Hardest part about the NV game is the fact that "cheap" is still often times not cheap to the average person. $650 isnt that cheap, but compared to other units, its a damn fine deal.
Brooooooother absolutely! I'm glad digital is lowering the ceiling a bit! Starting to be less and less daunting to dip your toes in the NVG game haha
Astounding cinematography, love a fellow civilian passionate about guns and tactical gear :)
Appreciate that big time! Thanks for watching!
Sold me on the wraith, looks like a good solution for getting my toes wet in the night vision game and holding me over while I save for some RNVG duals! To clarify, you were using a typical battery pack mounted on the rear, powering the unit via USB correct? Also realized this is your first video, quality made me think you had more for me to go binge watch, can't wait for more in the future bro!
Hell yeah bro! Thats awesome! I know that this has already ignited a NVG addiction hahah I'll be getting some quad nods any day now ;) lmao And yes sir! Just a cheap USB on-the-go battery thing with a usb out on it. I run a usb cable through my helmet, and plug the batter into the bridge mount, and then slide the Wraith onto the mount, and that USB batter pack can keep it charged for a week or two easy! Now that Im running duals on a third party mount instead of the sightmark one, I have to run a battery pack for each wraith, where as I could have powered them both from a single usb batter pack before iswapped over. Im just playing with a new mount and I like messing with stuff all the time haha
But yes TL;DR : 3 pack of USB 5v battery packs off amazon and BOOM! infinite power!
Love this channel bro. Sending to all my tactipals
ayeeeee thank you! Seriously sharing my channel is easily the biggest way to support me as a newbie! hah! Thanks man, appreciate it a ton, glad youre digging the content!
Subscribed. Great quality video and great info. Thanks, boss.
Glad to have you August! Appreciate you hanging and I hope you dig your stay.
Anxious to see how the second tube and the longevity of em last…. I purchased a site mark red dot for my first ever red dot. Well let’s say I was less than impressed. A video is coming soon with my thoughts and a little something at the end involving said red dot 😅
I've has a 3 of those LoPro mini laser units from them for years now with no issues. Thousands of rounds. I havent been gentle with the wraiths either. Ive worn these suckers in snow, rain and beat the piss out of them by smacking them into the air ducts in my basement at first lmao Didnt realize just how high they stuck off my helmet lol Hope you have fun destroying the red dot bro hahah
Man, love your channel. Def keep up the great work. Quick question, in this post, exactly which wraith monocular did you display. I am shopping for one (wraith) and was very curious. Thanks in advance.
dude, thank you so much! I know right, theres a ton of wraiths ahah its the "4k monocular" make sure its the 1x monocular, not the 4x scope. sightmark.com/products/wraith-4k-monocular
Good video! What I want to see is how you mounted those Walker electronic ear muffs to the helmet.
Thank DM! Appreciate the watch! I have another set of those arms coming in to mount another set of walkers to a different helmet; I'll be sure to film the process and share it! It was a little tricky getting them to interface with the Mlok rails I installed on my Airframe, but super easy for standard arc rails
