NOX18 + PVS-14 vs STINGIR 384 + PG25

[@fltmed]

I bought the first combo from Arkayne. PG25/STINGIR 384 and I've had it for 2 weeks and absolutely love it. Thank you guys so much! I wore it for 4 hours Friday night and had no headaches or neck problems. 5 hogs down and about 2 miles walked, all in the darkness. Totally blown away!

[@BobwithRefuge]

The information you guys are consistently putting out is seriously an American force multiplier. People are under valuing this free content exchange. Take notes homies: you’re gonna need this.

[@tactical_sense]

Tell um I’m sick of telling them!!

[@josephsantana3094]

I’d really like a pvs14+stinger option rather than the Nox 18 to add a middle of the road option for those who are budget conscious but still want something better than the pg 25.

What’s the easiest way to collimate my skeetIR and PVS14?

[@dfjr6525]

Running a mh25 and pvs14 on a panobridge. Been solid so far

[@PythonVs1]

I love how you guys started this intro... my god🔥

[@Arkayne]

We try to keep it spicy. Thank you!

[@rb4695]

I cant find much info on the pg25 but i like the idea. Is it autogated like a pvs14?

[@Rebel_Spirit_Operations]

Whats the durability of the STING. Talking surviving decently rough ruck trips. Guessing with 556 being its max recoil suppose it fragileish?

[@JRassi_Militaria]

556 is what all of the general use monocular are rated for. They're not rifle scopes.

[@Arkayne]

Not fragile at all, but it doesn’t “feel” as robust as the MH25, RH25, or NOX18. The RH25 and NOX18 have the durability thing on lock down. So if you’re extremely hard on gear in crazy environments, spend a little more and get the RL25, RH25, or NOX18.

[@GraveySealNetwork]

I'm looking to add a STING IR 640 with my L3Harris Unfilmed WP pvs14. Super excited. Noisefighters however is currently looking to see If the STING IR can fir on their mk3 mount

[@Arkayne]

The STINGIR 640 will pair well with that. Remember us when you are ready for that STING!! We would be able to get that into your hands FAST.

[@GraveySealNetwork]

@Arkayne I'm probably a few months out as I just bout the pvs14 and then a 1301 and some accessories.. so I gotta save back up for a bit. I'm just hoping the noisefighter mk3 does end up working.

[@jerrybooher69]

I'm running that Mk3 right now with dual Elbit WP really happy with it so far.. I have a thermal clip on but shopping around for a MH25v2 or a 640 stinger

[@justaregularguy3827]

Please do a review of the pg25 I wanna get one over a pvs 14 gen2+ white phosphor device cause I like the size an price but I can't find any actually reviews of what it looks liek through it

[@LibertySon1776]

How do I mount the pg25 as a stand alone helmet mounted option?

[@VK6AB-]

The dimensions of the detector don't determine the resolution of a thermal - the pixel pitch does. You trade FOV with focal length and detector dimensions.

[@chanc9737]

hey so I want to get the stingir and pvs 14 only problem my right eye vision sucks, is the a mount that can rotate the devices? I s this possible?

[@Haikeoutdoor]

We have a J-arm that can be used for the left eye after being connected to pvs14

[@porksmush]

Just getting into thermal w nvg duals and I'm just wondering how you use the thermal to hunt/shoot/aim if it's mounted to your helmet? I see that the NOX has reticles to choose from, but how would you use it with a rifle if it's mounted to your head?

[@Arkayne]

Some thermals have Quick Disconnect mounts for the helmet and Quick connect mounts for the weapon. It is an option to wear one thermal on your helmet and then un clip it and fasten it to the rifle for taking a shot with the QD mounts.

[@wildcat8598]

If your wearing helmet mounted thermal than one is probably wearing helmet mounted NV as well so the thermal would just be for identifying targets and using either your active or passive aiming through the NV for actual shooting. Or like he says if it has both a helmet and pic rail mount than you could throw it on your rifle with the flip of a QD mount but I don’t think you’d be firing through the thermal if helmet mounted. Unless aiming passive I guess with an optic?

[@johnlove3505]

I don't know much of anything about this stuff so maybe the answer is obvious but how are the two displays merged? Or is it just one eye sees night vision and the other eye thermal and the brain overlays the two?

[@Arkayne]

You're part way there. For me I just switch back and forth between the two as needed without trying to merge the two images in my brain. - Ethan

[@witcher9917]

Anyway to run the PVS14 with the StingIR without seeing double?

[@Arkayne]

Email us: [e-mail]

[@tactical_sense]

What I’ve learned from running many different thermals and night vision beside eachother is that no matter how you do it you’ll see double. What I do to function with both devices in front of my eyes is never try to look through both at the same time. Start by closing one eye and opening the other switching back and forth until switching back and forth becomes fast and effective without closing your eyes individually. Using one image at a time will become easier and more natural over time.

[@thegolflife7565]

Is AGM all made and assembled in the USA?

[@philipherger1265]

PD25 is basically designed by iRay...it utilises 16mm Chinese tubes produced on Photonis XD4 production line. The housing is OK, but the lenses are shit. However it's weight is incomparable.

[@Arkayne]

Glass is definitely its weakness aside from lower specs. However they are 18mm tubes. Unknown origin. We’ve had these units apart during initial R&D, they’re very strong, stupid simple.

[@philipherger1265]

@@Arkayne oops, I mistyped...I mean 18mm. These are NNVT tubes made by same production process of XD4.

[@scottiron6444]

Very cool, when will the web site be up? Im interested.

[@Arkayne]

It's up now at Arkayne.com 👊

[@dhall5634]

For those considering the RH 25 over the nox, don't. Having no internal shutter is superior because no internal moving parts means a much higher recoil rating (they've claimed 50bmg is good to go), more durability, less to go wrong, as well as not having the shutter close at an inopportune time. After 30 minutes of use you hardly ever have to nuk the device anyway. Also the rh 25 battery pack wire is ridiculous..10 feet of wire the size of a coax cable and crazy big adapter. Nox doesn't have rainbow mode but who cares. Also the Nox has slighlty better image quality. Made in USA and 200$ more, bomber company with fantastic cust serv. No clip on mode..who cares, use it as a scope it has reticles

[@n0xxm3rcyxx]

yall need more subs, and why are the mounts so expensive? i feel like people can make these to fit for way cheaper.

[@Arkayne]

It takes a really expensive CNC machine to make these mounts with such tight tolerances this drives the cost up on the aluminum mounts.

[@dillonhasty6213]

I'm on the fence about ordering a pg25. The price is right and ive only heard good things about them. Someone talk me into it!😂

[@Arkayne]

It’s a solid entry option especially if you plan to bridge to a thermal.

Is there a reason to not go with the armasight sidekick 640? It’s a lot less money than they stingir 640

[@Arkayne]

No reason other than we haven’t had personal time with them yet. That will change and when we’re ready, we’ll discuss whether it’s a good option or not. for now we know the STING units are.

You need to be in the 1% that will have it. That’s why we launched the budget package. We just want to make this stuff as accessible as possible. Because even the STINGIR 384 puts you WAY ahead of someone with just nods, and light years ahead of someone with nothing.

I wouldn't recommend Nox18 for helmet mount use. It is not a true 1x with no image adjustment and not one of the lightest thermals. Same reasons why it isn't considered for clip on use.
