Built an RVM-14 Night Vision Device: DIY Guide & PVS-14 Housing Comparison

[@codypowell2397]

I dont understand why the RVM isn't the new standard. Everyone is still making PVS's for inventory sales. It's not that much of a cost difference, for bulk sellers at least

It’s still much cheaper to use traditional 14 housings

PVS-14 fragility... I broke an Audi's worth of those fucking things in the army. Falling down 20 foot ditches, off of walls, tripping on wires and eating shit crossing roads... Good thing I never had to pay for 'em. I shudder to think what their cost was to the army.

@@SonOfTheDawn515 yeah there are several weak points. They should just make all of them with aluminum

[@SonOfTheDawn515]

​@@rocketcityanalytics 🤔 but then how could they charge the army for repairs?

[@SonOfTheDawn515]

Bruh noooo you already have that scratch or piece of debris on new nods 😭

[@rocketcityanalytics]

@@SonOfTheDawn515 where?

[@SonOfTheDawn515]

​​@@rocketcityanalytics 27:35 you can see it the dark splotch on the left. I thought it was just your camera/phone lense until you did the indoor test.

[@rocketcityanalytics]

@@SonOfTheDawn515oh that’s just a blem from the manufacturer

[@SonOfTheDawn515]

@@rocketcityanalytics ah okay. I'd buy blem, too. It's going to happen. Might as well save money and get it over with now. I don't know how I feel about white NV, though. I've only used green and it's a headache inducer. Hopefully the WP is less intense for long wear use.

You can also get a green and a purple filter to make it easier on the eyes
