Nocturn Industries Chimera is here! - Shot Show 2025

[@kinch613]

Most innovative NV optics company on the planet! Absolutely unbelievable!

[@KNJensen]

The new mount and the new panos are gamechangers. Nice job Nocturn!!

[@zacharyfett2491]

$15k for panos is unreal!

[@MrKingArthurhk]

It is still not quite obtainable for most people.

[@ezcompane]

Yeah I'm gonna start putting away some money now....this time next year I might be able to get a set.

[@ID-9999]

Was real for quite some time now

[@totenfurwotan4478]

I’m so freaking excited about what Nocturn’s up to.

[@houstonaut6940]

Yes. 🤘

[@snaker9er]

this guy actually knows the product

[@MrKakemann1]

THIS is promesing!

[@thesaint8493]

The Talon is a big winner for me, although it was odd they didn't list weight. I was waffling on the Tanto a bit because I did want the manual gain.

[@ThinLineDefenseCo]

don't quote me... but I'm pretty sure the IR light is adjustable also

[@michaelnyden8056]

Alpha mount came in more expensive then we expected!

[@scolbert8071]

Very nice.

[@Secondadmendment]

This video basically called me poor

[@Ron-ni8uu]

Everybody's poor at these prices 😂

[@wjspade]

I didn’t need this video to tell me I’m poor. I have no idea how all my buddies manage to afford NV & thermal. With CS payments, I’m stuck living paycheck to paycheck.

[@Ron-ni8uu]

@wjspade me too if I bought that stuff I would be eating beans and rice for 2 years😂

[@Ron-ni8uu]

@wjspade for me the best I could hope to afford would be a pard clip on 🤟

[@Liam-ql7tr]

Can these be switched out with a thermal?

[@jonathanw8733]

Looking forward to the mount

[@ThinLineDefenseCo]

I hear you....I want that alpha mount now

[@Major_Pipps]

Everything about them looks perfect, but if you would spend that kind of money or more, you would be in the market to have thermo capabilities also. Night vision is amazing, but if theres smoke then you meed thermo also.

[@rogersmith8480]

👍💯👍💯👍💯👍💯👍💯👍!!!

[@billydanzz]

Waiting for the next design iteration of "affordable" fusion units. Hopefully not too much longer. Diggin' the idea of a removable pod to hand to a buddy, observation, etc. Not understanding the purge issue though. What's the deal with the mounting point design where you'd lose purge if removing the pods? Unless I heard something incorrectly or misunderstood.

[@Spushed]

Get a couple clip on thermals for non-dominant side and you will see *EVERYTHING!*

[@imx3001]

Does it take 4 tubes or 2 tubes? 18mm or 16mm tubes?

[@ThinLineDefenseCo]

4 tubes. standard pvs-14 optics size. So if you had a tanto or manticore you could swap your two tubes into it

[@imx3001]

@ThinLineDefenseCo but i need 4 and not 2 tubes. Right?

[@deagn556]

A black white-phospor pnvg...?

[@schadenfreud33]

Will manual gain be compatible with current articulating design?

[@Ghost_SniperAirsoft]

A bunch of stuff out my price range for airsoft. I still want.

[@phillipgardner3297]

No mention of the panned daisho or did i miss it?

[@ThinLineDefenseCo]

I can ask! I think these were just the stars they wanted to share

[@travistucker7317]

9:57 how old are they?

[@PhxOmega2025]

I am going to buy the top of the line Panos as soon as I find they can take the ECOTI thermal vision device. Where are the rubber eye cups to hide your IR signature for near peer adversaries ? Nice job on the crystal blending keeping the seam tight. Plus the articulating bridge is an outstanding enhancement. What FOM rating are you using and are you in line with Aviation Tube Grade quality.

[@jpwe10]

The panos use a PVS14 front optic, so any ECOTI type device that works with a PVS14 should work on the panos just fine

[@PhxOmega2025]

@ ok I will call or email the store and get the full details I need FDE housing and bridge. Using a battery pack. Thanks 🇺🇸

[@mikehawkswollen5819]

2:43 and what do we have here

[@mikewilliams-hh9kf]

wouldnt running them in the light damage the tubes...sorry novice here....

[@ThinLineDefenseCo]

nahhh, standard lights won't hurt it. The tubes are autogated to adjust. Big bright flashlights or other super bright lights can damage it if you look at too long.

[@specialcookday]

UAPNVG with flex of bridge system is only $8.5K? 😮 No wonder it's already sold out. 👍 Cheaper than L3 GPNVG-18 which is tesla model Y.

[@rabidsbr]

Why would you not make the system maintain seal when changing config? Silly design.

[@ThinLineDefenseCo]

They do, that's the tanto and daisho! it already exists. This gives you another upgrade path that results in a more full system instead of being able to take them apart so you have two different options now. The tanto is great for exactly the reason you mentioned!

[@LeonDetlefs]

Housings looking like you coppied ACTs Homework 😄

[@ThinLineDefenseCo]

who owns the patent (I know the answer already and it's hilarious)

[@Ron-ni8uu]

I wish these were cheap😂

[@MrSwccguy]

15k vs 50k not to include the battery pack is a steal

[@victorhugocarballorios3966]

y yo con un viejo dipol 128 ....

[@squishypineT03]

Waiting for an affordable blend of nv, thermal, range finding, binocular goggles or lens that can record live feed with audio in a reasonably small yet durable package. Well, I guess I'm just dreaming.

[@Ron-ni8uu]

This is a good dream to have

[@MrSwccguy]

Lmao affordable 🤡

[@Ron-ni8uu]

I wish arken would make this for 2500😂

[@Clockwork0nions]

Man I was hoping Panos would be 8-10k instead of 15.

[@jefferymelochick4947]

4 tubes alone are roughly $4000-$18000 depending on which kind you purchase. The complete housing with optics is $8500 msrp.

[@Weeweewahwah-py7qe]

Why are they suspiciously cheap?

[@mugene]

would be nice if you could just buy half of the quad tube so you can have thermal on one side and then that on the other side for a little more fov

@@ThinLineDefenseCono just if there isn’t enough beef. They really should be using torx head screws at a minimum. They are stronger and infinitely more professional looking. Especially at that price point. Phillips= Home Depot.

[@tacticalrenegade327]

Bad thing is they probably making 13,000 profit on a set gotta be able to overcharge the taxpayers through the government

[@ThinLineDefenseCo]

ehhh not really... you're looking at 4 sets of optics at 800-1000 each 4 tubes at 2k each or more and a housing I can understand this argument but the cost for each assembly... times 4. well it's kinda dumb to think they pocket 90% with the costs of all the pieces if you did it yourself

[@tacticalrenegade327]

@ThinLineDefenseCo that is true but i do believe for the most part we are getting ripped i got 4 grand in mine and I believe truly they probably cost 6 to 8 hundred to build

[@evanacey1414]

@@tacticalrenegade327Then you have ZERO understanding of how analog image intensifier tubes are made.. It is literally the closest thing to magic or alchemy or quantum fucking physics I’ve ever seen that exists in the real world. Some components need to be grown in ridiculously controlled conditions… You know… Like a plant or a crystal or some shit. Other components need to be manufactured while submerged underwater. Some are manufactured to a tolerance measured in microns (1 micron = one thousandth of one millimeter). So yeah… AT LEAST go read up on how analog NV is manufactured and the costs involved in that process before saying some dumb ass shit like “I FEEL like my nvg’s should only cost a few hundred bucks” without any justification other than that’s what your intuition tells you they should cost.

[@jefferymelochick4947]

The chinese panos from argus are $8000 before adding image tubes for comparison. And those they didnt develop anything new, they just copied an existing design. And its made in china, ours is USA made. So if anyone is ripping you off it is products like that where the cost of production is significantly lower, especially if we can offer them at basically the same price but US made.
