Budget Night Vision Helmet Setup

[@masonlane8933]

My credit score started to quiver as soon as I saw the thumbnail

[@RP-ks6ly]

I have purchased most of the gear highlighted here. It was definitely a buy once/cry once situation. Save up your pennies, do your research, and get the gear that best accommodates your individual situation. As stated elsewhere, training is much more important than gear.

[@maxcopple8187]

You only need good enough credit once.

[@campgroundracers4014]

I typically use muzzle flash as my might vision.

[@santanagamingcinema]

Lol 😆 🤣

[@jhutch1470]

Does it look like a strobe?

[@pewpewDino]

I do cycling every night with dual tubes, quiet street, relaxing wind and music, best exercise for cardio workout

[@rccarwizard]

You should do a night vision giveaway full set up with ballistic helmet. Could even pair it with a lower priced rifle to offset the cost and give you the full set up. That would be sick.

[@gun_hound]

Call it the "Own the Night" giveaway.

[@rccarwizard]

@@gun_hound killer idea man!

[@jeremyperez6733]

Great name for a great idea haha

[@dcesar117]

I agree

[@CowboyGimbap]

I’m not financially ready for this video 😅

[@davidschlageter5962]

Good Job! I started with a Team Wendy helmet, added Peltors Comtacs, added a gen 3 tube finally a bridge and a Flir breech. It takes time to build one out. Years in my case. Garand Thumb has cost me much.

[@FinalLugiaGuardian]

Do you need to mount it to a helmet. Is it possible to simply tie it to a lanyard and hang it from your neck to use as a NOD?

[@zachbunch8701]

It should be the last part of your kit and done exactly as you did

[@rbbeac]

For all those questioning why anyone would want this, I offer my stance. I use mine hunting. I can get to my deer stand or turkey blind without spooking anything with a light. I can also set out duck or goose decoys in the dark. Also, they’re very useful for hogs or coyotes at night. Is it absolutely necessary? Absolutely not. Does it make things easier? Yup! As a bonus, if things go bump in the night I’m good to go.

[@edporter9355]

Yes, A Night Vision give-a-way would be great.

[@bigredwolf6]

Are they legally allowed to do that?

[@Ghost2ndamendment]

@@bigredwolf6 yes, NVGS are not regulated

[@kraemer66]

7:15 Single tube has one huge often overlooked advantage. You can immediately identify an accidental discharge of a visible spectrum light or laser.

[@fromsheeptoshepherddog6695]

Also you can use your optic with Our right eye and could use an IR laser with your left eye with night vision

[@Chicano_pistolero]

Being able to see when no one else can is an invaluable asset in combat. Your white light gives away your position and tells the enemy where to shoot, with night vision and an overcast dark night you’re essentially invisible until you’re right on top of someone

[@dylpykldrums]

[@johnkeenan7223]

Only if it's modern if ur NV is using ir you'll be a Giant light for newer nv

[@davycrockett-u9s]

Dont get too cocky, nvg are good for bandits and street thugs, but if you find yourself facing pro's, they more than likely will have IR. But for neighborhood watch, you will be a stud.

[@ArafChowdhury-wp8zs]

Sad

[@rossjones5741]

OUTSTANDING video! To do this on the cheap, (except for the night vision sight) was just the best. Very through and detailed, you deserve 5 stars. When I get enough money, I will set my headgear up the same way. GOOD JOB!!!!.

[@EndTheNFApls]

I bought everything on black Friday with 6 months interest free financing. Almost paid off now, and no buyers remorse, which is surprising. I have a team Wendy bump, Wilcox j arm, the breakaway mount, and a elbit Gen 3 white phosphorus pvs14. Have been coyote hunting a few times.

[@ktroyn]

Wow, Clint has hair!!! Hey Clint, thanks for doing this video. Helmet and NVG build-out is something I have been contemplating for about a year now but have only had the chance to briefly hold one complete set-up. This was helpful and gave me a good place to start!

[@dirtnap6666]

Doing a video on shooting with night vision would be awesome. You should also do a video on communication.

[@alllopez63]

Nice, I need to learn more about NV before I spend the $. Thanks again Clint and team. I hope this is the start of a NV series

[@Architect_Art_Vandelay]

hoplopfheil has a great video on tube specs

[@KSmithGenY]

Well there is this thing called money... and I don't have enough ha! But someday this will come in handy, however I find it interesting as I can use some of this info for my writing, so thank you!

[@icupopavictorsierra3138]

I spent almost 2 years researching NV before I pulled the trigger.. Went with PVS31'S and Photonis 4G onyx 2300 fom tubes... Buy once cry once...

[@PatG507]

that split isnt a defect, the arc rail adapters are designed to work with the comtac's the split is wear you attach theboom Mic, its split so it gives a bit more tension to keep the mic from falling off.

[@Friedbrain11]

I would prefer passive myself. Keep it coming as this is interesting series. Night vision mission...YES! Night vision giveaway...YES!!!!!

[@donm.6356]

That little split on the peltor adapter arm is supposed to be there. That’s where your boom mic would attach.

[@justsomeguyontheinternet5331]

I just took Jamie Caldwel's 2-day (night?) Night Vision Operator course. 4 civilians and 10 high end LEOs. Two best shots in weapons quals were running single tube PVS14, and so was I. Everything I thought I was going to find wrong with my setup, I didn't. Ranger band a USGI bayonet j-arm and it doesn't wobble. The real issue I had was switching between IR and white light on my vampire head. I need a LAM with a dedicated IR flood.

[@jackschumacher8472]

Yes to the night vision give away. And a definitely yes to the video comparing passive veris active night vision aiming with devices.

[@stephencouch4830]

Single tube is better than nothing. At least you can see in the darkest nights even if you need to run your IR light with it you can still see the IR laser

[@alexandrasvulfgang1205]

Clint, you forgot to mention that the Streamlight sidewinder also has an IFF switch.

[@EOTechN9ne]

I've been slowly saving for nightvision and I think I should have enough for a pvs14 by this summer. But then I saw the prices of the Wilcox mount and arm and now I think I need to save more. It's like another grand for a super basic bump helmet set up.

[@TacoTory556]

I recommend the ax14 j arm if you don’t want to spend the price for Wilcox j arm the ax14 also articulates and I love mine but the g24 is definitely worth the extra coin

[@mgassman7924]

So throw a number at it Clint. What would it cost to replicate your setup from scratch? By the way it was a great video and thorough explanation. I knew almost nothing about NV before watching this. At least I could have a conversation about it now

[@dookieeater]

I LOVED training mout with nods to joes. Shits sooooooo funny

[@sethfrazier7327]

cool video Clint. love gear videos

[@justinreid7459]

Although I like John Lovells reason for single tube benefits. Mostly being able to read photopic lighting with your unboosted eye. That way you don't get false impressions of how dark your environment is

[@MrSoonermadman]

Lol, giveaway is the only way I could own any of this…. I must say I loved that you said budget as the MK18 was laying on the table. I knew immediately this was all going to be above my night vision budget. Lol, I will definitely have to start my build with the Streamlight Sidewinder.

Can you walk around easily and shoot with those?

The act fire ear pro r dope they’re a cheap Walker basically simple and great design very comfortable that’s wat I use on my helmet

[@Leman.Russ.6thLegion]

I have been running nvg every night for a minimum 1hr, and I have sprinted and jumped and gone to ground plenty. With a good fit, I have never needed a counter weight for my pvs14. Just set your helmet right, guys. Add what you want, but get a good helmet.

[@jasonmcclish2580]

Very informative!! Thanks Clint.. Great video.

[@n7honeybadger103]

So I know nothing about night vision. Instead of a counterweight, is there external battery packs you could run to extend the time on your night vision batteries?

Clint I notice your 3M mounts are slid back some on the ARC rail. Is that just a comfort adjustment? I have unity tactical mounts but have them in the middle of the ARC rails. Also I use a unity spark IR light, which is much more budget friendly than the hellstar.

[@jamessavent3636]

Can you build a DIY PVS 69 NVG and compare it to PVS14 and commercially available NVGs?

[@phillipanderson3715]

Night op for shure

[@jth_printed_designs]

Somebody needs to make a business where they are like a "tactical tailor" and people can fly in to them to get a one stop shop to consult on their individual needs and get the best fitting gear for them. The cost of the gear isn't my issue, it's the time it takes to drudge through all of the info trying to figure out what you need and whats not going to work for you. The time saved would be well worth the expense paid for the consult.

[@mrpearson8591]

[@nicholascheadle]

Just getting into NV, really debating removing my ear pro to make passive shooting easier. Unfortunately it does sacrifice some of the stability of the system overall. Ear pro hitting the stock is much more annoying than lining up the tubes in my humble opinion. If anyone has a solution, feel free to let me know. Running the Howards, I like them over the cheap Peltors. NV, changes everything though.
