Finally my wishes have came through someone who actually made a side by side with all comparisons that you can think of. And I can’t complain about you not going swimming with those Thank you

@@UrbanSurvivor Ayy glad my content helped with your tests. As for further content, GF31 review is definitely in the works, and I may visit the China International Optoelectronic Exposition in September, where ADNV will have a booth showcasing their devices. Other than that, I have some vintage NV devices (Baigish-20A, PON-5) that I've been slowly filming reviews for but never actually got to edit together.

@UrbanSurvivor between the NVG40 and Night Operator Max 2.0, which one would you recommend for airsoft? You ranked them equally but they still have their pros and cons for different used.

@UrbanSurvivor 2 ай бұрын

@@porgstew3657 are you worried about running IR lighting? If not, night operators would be good, but if you are trying not to run iR then I would go with the NVG40. Would depend on whether the people you play airsoft with are using night vision or not.

It will attach over the front of the existing lens. You can easily attach it yourself.

Cool to see new devices getting better. I'm not ready to switch from my analog tubes just yet, but if they get a bit cheaper and improve just a little more in the low light, I could see myself going to digital eventually. Think it needs just a few more years

Hi, I wanted to ask about Night Operators FUSION 3.0 Thermal & NVG.. I'm wondering if it's worth getting it, or if I should just get NVG30, but I'm really interested in the Thermal mode at NOF, or if I should look for something completely different. Thanks a lot for the advice.

I just gotta say, I’m seething and amazed with how the digital NVD market exploded as of recent. But the seething part was mostly because I bought my NVG 10’s with savings from college and wanted to up my airsoft capability. This was last year. One month after buying my NVG 10 the nightfox prowl came out. Then news about the NVG 30 came out. Then night operators started making waves with their new max 2.0. Watching my choice list go from either lesser pvs-clones with crappy drone cameras, the nvg 10’s, or 4x native 20fps binoculars to having 8+ 1x native nvg’s hit the market all for under $1000 is amazing but a broke college boy is still down $250

@alexstixx 3 ай бұрын

Hey GNG, since you import so many of these, can you ask them if they would be willing to open source the nvg10 and nvg 30 firmware source code? It would be really cool if the community could experiment with them and it might encourage firmware updates like they did with the nightfox prowls.

How does the PVS14 (even though it is analog) perform in comparison and where would it sit on the graph. It's cheaper than the G14P2 tho more expensive than the PVS14. Great vid! 👍🏼

@UrbanSurvivor 3 ай бұрын

I went ahead and added my Gen2+ Analog PVS14 scoring to this database - airtable.com/applWy7aBySisy3GY/shrELw6WYPCmxZ1E6 - Due to its higher price in new condition I would probably put it into the A Tier but if you can get a good deal on it then S tier. Thank you for the great question!

@VampirusX 3 ай бұрын

@@UrbanSurvivor Thanks! So it is a matter of preference? Going old school with analog or the modern route with digital? What would you pick if you have a max budget which only allows G14SE or PVS14?

Gen 2 virtual performance varies too much and it has tradeoffs. First is that tube night vision will have far, far better power consumption. However, Gen 2 degrades continuously over use depending on brightness unlike Gen 3 and CMOS.

@alphasheepdog9683 2 ай бұрын

Blows it out of the water. But you’re paying 8-10x more for it. Do what I did, go pvs14, white phosphor but don’t go to optics planet. Go to a dealer where they will show you what the tube images look like since all pvs14 devices are military rejects for one reason or another. They’re not manufactured for civilians.

After I own a binoset of nvg30s, which is great, I´m interested in a set of wide angles lenses. I´m also interested in a binoset of the ADNV G14SE. What are the mounting options of the G14SE? Is there a a compatible bridge to mount them together to a L4G24 mount? Greetings from Germany

Yeah the G14SE comes with a bridge you can run as a mono or bino which you can connect to your own L4G24.

The night op might be good if you are into airsoft noght ops and wantthat advantage but you probably want an eotech so its still essentially a $1000 setup. Though all the budget brands make optics with nightvision comparability.

Even records it's a Cheaper digital unit w camera and zoom But you don't use it how they tell you. Instead of attaching it to a magnifying rifle scope attach it to a non magnifying 40mm red green dot soup can sight. .
