Thanks for the review. Have you tried mounting it on a helmet yet? Another RUclipsr had difficulty mounting the NVG50 to a Wilcox. I’m still hanging with my NVG-30. Far and away better than I expected. The 50mm lens upgrade, is just outstanding. Anyone who says digital night vision is not viable for real-world defense, hasn’t used the NVG-30 and now NVG-50. These units really are tip of the spear as to where digital night vision is headed.
@@Mark-et8vh yes the mountain that it comes with works perfectly fine unfortunately for most helmets with L4G24 mounting systems, unfortunately may not work with the Wilcox mount unfortunately it is because the battery causing it to be lower by half an inch below the eye need a new JR mounting system compatible with those type of helmets to be able to lift upwards towards the eye. GoodNiteGear has been reimbursing people who have already purchased the NVG 50. For the mounting system. and added a wild game plus mount as compensation His word exactly from communicating with GoodNiteGear himself honest truth GoodNiteGear: “Yeah if they promised a functional L4G24 bino setup I see where he's coming. I thought it would work too but after further testing it didn't work with most of my helmets. The few customers of mine that bought it, I am refunding the bridge cost and giving them a free wildgameplus bridge as compensation” In regards to RUclipsr *Shot In The Dark About his issue with the NVG 50
@@Mark-et8vh and honestly, I completely agree with your statement with the digital night vision it’s better than having no night vision. And honestly, in my pure honest truthful opinion both the NVG 50 and the 30 are absolutely amazing units for the price. They are from experiencing with the NVG for a week now after testing the unit come to my surprise. It’s actually much better than the NVG 30, but when it comes to performance and night vision, it’s identical. OLED display is not bright. It’s comfortable to the human eye compared to the NVG30, the gyroscopic compass is extremely accurate. The IR light has been upgraded despite it’s not focus but it’s much more energy efficient and is actually better than the NVG 30. The internal electronics and CPU over has been updated. It’s basically NVG-30 2.0
Would the NVG50 break if dropped? I heard it the shell is plastic and concerned it may break if dropped. Other people have said it has issues with helmet mounting which im also concerned about
@ not that I have noticed no I haven’t had any mounting issues unfortunately I don’t have a Wilcock type bounce because I don’t have a G 34 type helmet
@@deadspeed6679 yes I use the original Mount that it came with in the box and put it up to my bump it and it seemed to work pretty fine with no issue for me however I have not yet used the Wilcox mount
@KyzoFox since they advertise the wide angle lens fitting both as well, I'm inclined to think they are functionaly the same size if maybe tolerance difference.
@@billytube325 dude…. Yes… absolutely! The internal electronics are an upgrade in the Compass is super super accurate other than that the performance is about the same as the NVG 30, but it is a hair better and darker, but it’s not that much of an upgrade from the 30. If you do not have I highly recommend getting the NVG 50. Its an absolute awesome little NVG for the price.
@@billytube325 so far i have been liking it, but there is a few things i dont like. Which may be a potential problem for people with L4G24 mount on most helmets because of the battery pack being at the top will be a potential problem for Wilcox mounting system. It’s about an inch and a half below the eye where it’s supposed to be when mounted on a Wilcox mount. But works completely fine perfectly fine with the amount that it comes with. Stargazing performance is absolutely amazing obviously GEN 2+ and GEN3 NVG will outperform by a huge number in stargazing.

strengthen ABS

I should know I had the first pair in the states
👍

@@l0ts166 no not that I know of and unfortunately, I was wrong about that and no, it’s not plastic. It’s actually fully metal.
@@l0ts166 the texture will trick you to make you think it’s plastic but it’s not it’s fully metal
@@KyzoFox does it have helmet mounting issues? I saw some videos showing that it mounts way lower with a wilcox style setup
@ not that I have noticed no I haven’t had any mounting issues unfortunately I don’t have a Wilcock type bounce because I don’t have a G 34 type helmet
@ alright, thanks for the help! You are the only one so far who has made detailed review videos about the nvg50
Did you mount it on a helmet

@ how’s the eye line of sight ?
@deadspeed6679 pretty decent
I would be scared to play airsoft with my nvg50.
@@AceAirsoft87 yeah, them bbs hit that lense just right. Man bad day.....
PVS-14 sacrificial lenses fit the NVG30 and NVG50 so if your worried pick up a few of those. (like $10-20)
@ dude absolute thank you usually I put a pizza piece of perfectly circular cut plexiglass
@ I will tell you, though the NVG 50 is slightly smaller in diameter on the front lens than the NVG 30

Is the latency any better than the nvg30?
