I Brought NIGHT VISION From AliExpress, Do They Suck?

@@Twoflowersx it will be included in the video :)

[@drefhill]

Can you make a review of that night vision using it on the ukrainian battlefield ?

[@offender0]

I have a few suggestions if you're able; 1. Test these against other budget NVGs like Nightfox and the NVG-30. 2. Test these in an open field and wooded area with no light pollution. 3. Get a second person to record what the NVGs look like under their own NVGs. Bonus points if you find someone willing to let you borrow their anolog NVGs.

[@AshShootsAirsoft]

@@offender0 great suggestions! Got a few of these in the pipeline so stay tuned!

[@Shoelaces77]

So far the best budget digital NV device out there. You don’t need IR on as long as there’s ambient light. They are very sensitive

[@AshShootsAirsoft]

Agreed! They are a decent budget option but id say on the cheaper end gen1 analogue nods are better

[@takeoUup115]

what sucks is price has gone up a bit , but still good . Glad got mine while back .

​@@rifleshooterchannel208 all night vision needs some light

[@tristanevrs]

Looks good, sound OK, I think you may need to check with someone else’s NVGs though that the IR illuminator on these isn’t basically a WHOPPING TORCH to everyone else using night vision, at that point you’re giving yourself away way more than getting an advantage, at least to others with nods

[@AshShootsAirsoft]

The Iliminator is 100% a torch under NV. These can run without the Iliminator on though which helps!

[@engineeredlifeform]

I bought a cheap NV set for bat spotting, and they were quite good. With the addition of an inexpensive 3W IR torch they became quite awesome. Their limit was the built in illuminator, and I guess 3 watts of IR at one wavelength puts out a lot of usable photons. As others have said though, the illuminator gives up your 20, but you can position an IR torch to bathe a vista, and look at it from elsewhere : -)

[@scopex2749]

Well Im an 'Aspy' shooter so I greatly respect your opinion my friend! It sounds like I'll be getting some of these to try out for a night fight! We used to use the full 'binocluar' type in the military that covers both eyes and you will learn to 'trust' the NVG. Someone below mentioned the Falklands and down there it was SERIOUS darkness but just star or moonlight gave enough ambient light for them! Our brains are not used to seeing a green or red image so training with them so our brains 'learn' what the eyes send it is a big help. IF anyone in a skirmish is using IR reflective paint on a helmet or weapon you WILL see it easily . These are very good quality for that price looking at your images - Great review Thanks.

[@ryanhopkin4047]

[@AshShootsAirsoft]

Cheaper than most of my rift mate 😂😂

[@anesthycxc8638]

[@AshShootsAirsoft]

Ive got a video in the pipeline on this very subject!

[@starsandnightvision]

I have used them practically every day for almost a year now, no issues.

[@nickmander6088]

I bought my Nvg10 from Amazon, I still have night sights from the eighties from moonlight, which at the time we’re over 200 pounds and these nvg10 are awesome in comparison, the moon light sights were used in the Falklands conflict. Over 300 metres distance comparison, the NVG is clear as heck whether in black and white mode or green mode. I go out across farmland and woodland and in both environments the clear vision is 20/20, if you know how to set them, the compass can be somewhat slow to configure on the move. 2nd negative view is that the three control buttons are somewhat difficult to find when you can’t physically see them as they are small, very close together and shallow, and braille is easier than these buttons, my only other qualm is that in winter frosty temperatures, when you are exhaling, the cloudiness of your breath can be picked up by the sights and if your not expecting it, you could be mistaken for thinking your seeing ghosts out in the fields, which might be feasible in my case, as the fields were a RAF base during the war. So other than those few points mentioned, I am extremely happy with the NVG10, and the mount might look weird and breathable,but it is metal and quite substantial unless you are ham fist and clumsy. 👍

[@Tino.Armenta]

I wonder if there is a way to take the guts out and reconfigure anything into a dummy pvs 31, just to be able to run dual

[@coolbreezetg6]

you need to test nods in open fields, not in a 20m garden otherwise you won't be able to tell their limitations

If i had an open field then i would 😂 this was just a first quick test and initial thoughts

I was pleasantly surprised with a set of IR binoculars (digital)& a IR monocular device (digital) I purchased from another online selling platform that I think is a fairly recent provider, so anyway I thought why not &the price being asked wasn't alot by any means, so in the 2weeks they took to arrive i'd convinced myself they would be a crappy set with one of those green lights, boy was I in for a surprise,ok the binoculars casing is abit low quality but for what I payed I can put up with,the monocular however is somewhat better build quality all round,to sum up I'd like to use the expression I heard said growing up in Yorkshire, which is, I'll go & stand at the foot of our stairs.

940 nm IR tends to throw a little less light at equal wattage. You.have to bump up your torch wattage. But yes "some" animals see lower 500 nm range IR quite well deer, pigs, raccoons will hide and peek at the camera, coyotes and couger as well I believe.

[@Kefuddle]

These are not worth getting. I bought them and without IR illumination they are worse the the MK1 eyeball. Using them in a suburban setting is misleading as security systems use IR floodlighting which has a massive effect on the usability. Unfortunately Gen2+ is about the minimum worth spending money on. Using IR in Airsoft against people who has NVGs turns you into a BB magnet. This is from personal direct experience of using NVGs in Airsoft.

[@austenlejeune2599]

So I assume that is 2nd gen night vision? Not a bad price and it seems fairly clear.

[@dananorth895]

1st, 2nd and generation refers to improvements in photomagnifing light imaging tubes. Best comonly avail are 3rd gen. white light scope. I'm still running 2nd gen green 2x NV which work fantastic on a rifle behind 50mm scope or even red dot. But I'm looking for something cheap like digital for helmet mount. No magnification for movement in obstical areas.

There is a latency, every sensor has a latency, if your latency is minimal, your sensitivity is minimal too. I think i would better have good sensitivity then latency. When you are not able to see anything with no latency, it is useless.

The biggest downside of these digital nv devices is lack of an app to successfully connect to the wifi. I have tried multiple apps for wireless cams and haven't found one to work.
