    I got a set of the Steiner 21s earlier this year. I believe mine was assembled with NOS parts from STS inventory after Steiner acquired STS division of O'Gara - likewise the tubes are probably early 2000s stock as well.
    Agree with your take on it. It's a novelty goggle with many issues. They are proprietary and certain parts of the design are frustrating, but they were also very ahead of their time with the digital integration - something that you are only now seeing come back around.
    There was a document about these being integrated into an experimental parachutist HAHO navigation system in the later 2000s. It featured a helmet computer with head tracking, turning the 21s into a sort of augmented reality goggle, and overlayed parachute glide slope "pathway in the sky" like the glide slope displayed in aircraft HUDs. Awesome stuff.

I will start with a single tube and a weapon laser, likely the MAWL, and go from there. I will more than likely need to finance it out because it is just so costly. I am excited to get started in it, for hunting and for fun, but also it'll be like having a superpower!

      The "low profile" has the advantage stated in the video, of allowing the operator to use their eyes when the device is turned off, but also the benefit of being able to fit behind mounted rifle sights, meaning that you could use them without an aiming laser.

  • @SamKBTrading
    @SamKBTrading 2 дня назад

    Only had limited experience with 21’s but the size and position of the beam combiners make them very difficult to get used to.
    I also found it a bit disorienting given the image is not aligned with your eye position.
    When wearing eye protection they are very difficult to get a decent image out of.
    In the early 2000’s against combatants without NV capabilities I imagine they done the job just fine, but these days I think they’re out-done by a lot of nvgs.
    Interestingly, I found LUCCE 2’s to be a much better LPNVG option and usable even with eye pro.

    As someone who watches these videos for entertainment/information (I'm a tech nerd at heart) its the little details, like noting how easy it is to get your fingerprints all over em, that really shine and stick out in your videos!
    Given your experience with night vision, how much of a problem is fingerprints/dirty lenses as an issue? I wear glasses and often notice even the smallest of smudges and fingerprints can distort my vision. As such do you find a similar issue with night vision? I imagine its just one of those things you have to deal with, especially in the field, but curious what your thoughts/experiences are!

    • @NITEWALKER-NIGHTVISION
      @NITEWALKER-NIGHTVISION  3 года назад +2

      Thanks I appreciate that! Traditional goggles are easier to handle due to the tube type shapes however you’ll smudge them up from time to time.
      I find that smudged ocular lenses are more noticeable than smudged objective lenses. When the ocular lenses are really smudged it can affect your image sort of like if you’re diopter isn’t set correctly.
      You will get dirt particles etc on the objective which you will see in the image. They’ll look like little specks. The good thing about a mil-spec quality device is that you can rinse it off under the sink to wash out the dirt before cleaning the lenses. I normally use keyboard duster before using a microfiber

    So on the amber/purple filters/stickers are you sure you removed the protective film off of them? It looked like maybe you hadn't. On my 21's the purple doesn't really reduce the quality at all and I highly appreciate them. Also the Wilcox G21M mount is so AWESOME... but you CAN really just use the standard Wilcox g24 IF you get the fairly inexpensive Wilcox NVG Interface Shoe: tnvc.com/shop/wilcox-nvg-interface-shoe-for-anpvs-21/ it simply makes that tilt range larger/longer and the ability to fit it to your brow and under the helmet brim becomes easier by far. If you get that shoe and replace the default one you shouldn't have any fitment issues with most mounts / helmets. The Wilcox G21M though is the best mount for this though by far (tnvc.com/shop/wilcox-fixed-mount-for-anpvs-21/)... but I would still no matter what, get the shoe!
    -- I don't know about other recent models of NVGs but these are salt water proof to a certain depth and time... you can find pics here and there of them used via beach landings from sea to sand.
    These also don't seem to fatigue my eyes and affect balance as much as other nods I've used recently - BVNDs / PVS-14s.
