Custom Night Vision | Night Vision Housing Review 2.0

[@therealderrickwynne]

Came for info on the Katana housing... stayed for Kevin.

[@borosecrans]

As a fellow autist, the CNV crew helped me through my first NV purchase. Keep up the great work.

[@customnightvision]

Thank you! Will do!

[@OnesandXeroes]

Love this

[@zenithxivinvexthal6038]

Im getting ready to replace my pvs14 after 12 years of service and not keeping up with trends, i needed exactly this

[@kevin11288]

Hell yeah glad we could help.

[@RunningWithSauce]

That opening both made my day and hurt my feelings. I’m confused. Haha.

[@kevin11288]

Remember, the housing you choose is the personality you must adopt.

[@sgthoskins]

The leatherneck comment on "they're probably gonna eat it" had me rolling. :)

[@customnightvision]

Just keeping it real.

[@Billo1281]

Just ordered some stuff from you guys. It was a pleasure dealing with you both. Now I can’t wait to receive it! Keep up the great work, and info!

[@customnightvision]

We appreciate it! we will do our best.

[@natetheocles5671]

You guys are great. Let's see the pano video! Video comparison of fov variations would be awesome.

[@customnightvision]

Thats a good idea.

[@DonJohn-h8l]

Would love to see 50° Boomslang optics on binos or pano bridge comparison.

[@davidjoseph8295]

Love the nocturn products, imo the katana and manticore are perfect.

[@a2tactical]

They are!

Idk about perfect, if they had big titties then I’d agree.

[@EeZ3-808]

Another dope ass informative video. It’s going to be hilarious when someone takes Kevin up on the offer for a video in his skivvies doing shit with panos. Noticed the label on that PVS-14. You finally get CNV badging? I’ll slap one on mine. Gots to represent. Aloha 🤙🏽

[@kevin11288]

😂😂😂 no sir we don’t have badges. Idk where that housing came from lol.

[@klane7]

I got the dtnvs v2 (mg) with 16mm echo's and they are nice! Coming from a high spec L3 harris im satisfied about the performance. + The size and weight of the V2 for my booniehat is awesome

[@customnightvision]

nice!

[@matthewhalford7189]

Mind me asking do you at all regret not getting the 18mm? I know the 16mm cuts your fov slightly. Also busy looking at a pair

[@klane7]

@@matthewhalford7189 its not that big of a difference actually. And since the tube is smaller and more concentrated its seems that the edges resuolution is a little better. I can only say from my 4g tube. Never seen true other16mm tubes

[@gunsncars1157]

I turned on notifications just so I can be notified when the no pants pano video drops. But in all seriousness I think a video on the Argus or other alternative panos plus the classic l3 one would be cool to watch

[@customnightvision]

its in the works boo.

[@Wolfman_NV]

Great video! One thing I thought I’d mention is katanas (and I believe tantos) don’t have ip68 rating so not as water/dust/shock proof as some of the other offerings, something to consider if you do night schenanigans around water. That being said I’d love a tanto as a light weight handheld and for camera work like you said!

[@customnightvision]

ive submerged both and had no issues.

[@rDigital2A]

You guys are cool. Thanks for putting this info out there.

[@customnightvision]

no you're cool.

[@TACOHOG]

Manticores 🤙🤙🤙

[@50shadesofFDE]

Thoughts on the Night Vision Plus light fighter manual housings, battery packs, and their bridge?

[@customnightvision]

its definitely a housing i just googled.

[@dentron2]

Did i miss the 1431s? I didnt see them. Also would like to hear about 31Ds. Great video, thanks for all the content you guys put out. Its always funny and not dry, but still very informative.

[@customnightvision]

We dont deal with them anymore. still a good housing though. the 31ds dont interest me.

[@dentron2]

@@customnightvision interesting. Can you share why you no long build 1431s? What about the 31Ds do you not like? They seem like a good goggle.

[@nickgrady-xx7mm]

Very nice video! Very detailed.

[@kevin11288]

Thanks fam

[@dannyotter7247]

Really useful vid chap 🙂

[@kevin11288]

Thank you sir.

[@Freehotdawgs]

You guys should make a video where you build the worst non-damaged setup you can think of.

[@kevin11288]

NVG40 lol

[@joseguzman2950]

I thought you guys sold 1431s what happened to that?

[@kevin11288]

Ask the gatekeepers.

[@hulahuga]

How do you like the GSCI housings? And, which one would you say is best if you need a power port and manual gain control?

[@customnightvision]

I have limited experience with them. There are many better options so I dont see a reason to spend time evaluating their products.

[@aesthetic8780]

Having the AGM NVG40 in the comparison but not the 1431 mk2 is criminal :'( What did L3 to you guys? Did they really "contacted" you because of the 1431? I mean it's one of the best housing options on the market.

[@customnightvision]

im not at liberty to discuss but the decision was made to move away from it, and it had nothing to do with the products quality or how much we liked it.

[@legendsneverdie25]

What ones do the Taliban run?

[@kevin11288]

GPNVGs mostly

[@markanthonypar-wise1499]

Usually pvs-14s or pvs-7s from what I've seen. If they got duals that would be cool to know which ones

I wish we could buy a single MH-1 pod at a time. I want that manual gain, weight savings, and the ability to pann, but can't afford to buy the whole system at once.

[@kevin11288]

Save up/ use a credit card.

[@musicman1eanda]

@kevin11288 Yeah I've got $3k saved so far in my personal fund after about a year and a half. My wife isn't on board with any night vision purchase, so I can't use some of our $13k in savings and have to use my personal "fun money" fund that only goes up $150/month max.

you have to remove the epoxy. its not recommended.

I'm looking to buy a monocular from you guys, and just wanted to know how it would work down the line. If I wanted to bridge them even if I had two of the same tubes I would have to have them culminated once they are paired in a bridged housing right?.

[@PreppedScots]

Only thing that I can see that was missed honestly was the Jerry line, however to my understanding that is in uncertain waters in regards to potential sanctions being placed against infraray/iray, even though when looked through the scope of the US market they would be sitting next to those AGM NVG40’s Apart from that it’s a solid vid lad, all the best from 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Fear monger marketing is lame. If you are in the biz of selling Chinese tech you should probably read the actual bill against chicom drones. No consumer drones are being banned. Details matter, Go actually read and stop spreading nonsense.

[@customnightvision]

Thats not my intention. i never push people to buy things from a fear of loss position. all government regulation is lame..

[@camopirate]

@@customnightvision agreed on all or certainly most regulations this one included. The biggest danger of this one is mission creep but it isn’t a ban on consumer drones it is targeting.gov agencies and contractors that serve them.

[@dmaraschky1]

Started with the AGM 40 with GP Elbit tubes haha, they weren't terrible I could see in the dark! Got an MH-1 now with some decent Echo+ tubes, bought them like a month before the high gains dropped 🥲

[@kevin11288]

Get America tubes

[@dmaraschky1]

@@kevin11288 don't think the high gain tunes are worth getting? I would genuinely like to know your opinion on them, I would like US tubes, but at the price point, with gain now at and past some Gen 3 tubes along with better contrast, high light resolution, and more durable in terms of burning, and I know out of band capabilities really aren't a huge benefit but Photonis has it, what would be worth the extra couple thousand dollars? I know the GAAS tubes have a few thousand more hours of like typically than the multi alkaline tubes but other than that? US tubes would be cool, but again with the high gain tubes achieving around the same gain value as L3 tubes, I am hard pressed to spend the extra money I had some GP Elbits before and the were a little brighter than my Echo+ tubes, but I do strongly prefer the image of the Echoes, granted the Echoes are higher spec than the Elbits were outside of gain.
