PVS-69 Gen 4 introduction

[@codyl417]

I already own a set of 14's, but I still find this incredibly fascinating. This will help get way more people into the night vision game, which is always a good thing. Keep this up!

Have no idea how to do this. Getting the tools to do this stuff is a big part and who knows if one is able to do it. Pvs 31 and Gpnvg would be cool to do too. The thing is it's really hard to do these things without step by step constant ongoing and restarting course.

This digital/analog tube setup seems really interesting. I like that it doesn't look to restrict you to one or the other so it can be built on a lower budget and upgraded further down the road. I'd definitely like to see how well the digital works side by side with an analog tube.

[@BuckFoeJiden]

It wouldn't be terribly difficult to swap the IR drone camera with a thermal sensor. With a little bit of work, you could even overlay the thermal image onto the image from an IR camera feed and have a set of hybrid NODs.

[@vonscherfarms925]

i actually do plan to pop a thermal core in one im sure it would fit. overlay is a totally different beast and not really supported with the video signal we are using.

[@BuckFoeJiden]

@@vonscherfarms925 you can do it via ghosting, but it's not exactly a pretty solution. You basically run both inputs into the same monitor, with a sliding resistance switch (like a dimmer switch on lights) on each. Gives you control over which signal is dominant, and even the ability to run one or the other.

[@vonscherfarms925]

@@BuckFoeJiden are you sure that works with CVBS? all the information i found says that combining them just makes static

[@BuckFoeJiden]

@@vonscherfarms925 I'm not 100%, but I see no reason why it wouldn't as long as the signal isn't overpowering the inputs ability to read the signal. From everything I've done in AV, signal strength is the biggest factor. That's why the dimmer switches are important. Try it with two regular camera inputs and see if you can get them to ghost, assuming you have the sliding resistance switches to wire it up.

[@BuckFoeJiden]

@@vonscherfarms925 the only foreseeable problem I can come up with would be figuring out exactly how to splice the inputs into the monitor. I'd imagine if you're using something like a raspberry pi to feed the stream into your monocular, you'd need to run two boards. One for your digital camera, and another for the thermal sensor, then a sliding resistance switch behind each board, and from the switches, they'd be spliced together into the monitor. I'm sure there's info out there on how to ghost video signals that's more up to date or accurate, though.

[@Spanishproject123100]

I’m so stoked for these. Any estimate on the MX69 release date?

[@jurpo6]

Would be cool if there were eyelets on the housing for a lanyard. Would suck to have a unit come undone and lose an analog intensifier.

[@vonscherfarms925]

It’s extremely hard to see in the video but there are actually holes for some key rings but squeeze out from the printer filled them in a bit

[@heyarno]

That 8mm objective lens looks like a nice find. Where do I get one or 3?

[@uncleyoda1834]

you know what would be an interesting idea? take the Gen 4 PVS-69 image intensifier tubes, place them into a PVS-5 housing (from a pair that don't work obviously, gutting them would be a pain though) and using PVS-31 replica bridge to make a PVS-105 (or PVS-5-69, not good at naming things lol), essentially a combination of all three. The only major difference being that instead of contacts, you have wires come directly out of the tubes, similar to the originals. not sure how that'd work tho.

[@vonscherfarms925]

pass thanks tho

[@michaelrudisill897]

Really appreciate you making these for us folks who don't have $8k to blow on analog dual tubes. Can't wait to get mine. Question though, how is it walking with them? I've used 14s in the military bit I'm curious how the depth perception is? I'm guessing it's like anything else, just practice with them. Also do they auto adjust for cqb to open fields on its own?

[@TruthPrevails24]

i’m pretty sure walking with him is really easy I just one dude who posted like a minute and a half video of him just walking out in the woods and I mean with no IR only like 25% noon he could see just fine and he could walk with him the field of view is pretty good. It seems like I’m not sure cause you can’t really tell through camera. But you can definitely see where you’re going and that’s definitely a plus for being around 500 bucks to build yourself 400 if you get really lucky.

Interesting website there. I wish I could understand how to make this stuff. Or buy .. 1900 Euro for it is quite expensive, can buy a proper nvg military civilian. Possible maybe to get better prices? Or understand what we can get.

[@DNH17]

@@vonscherfarms925 Thanks, just want to mention that usually this is a problem with how nowdays fan\passionate\players general non pro stuff is communicated to public. If one comes in the shop and tries to understand something all is nice and described well, but it's hard to understand stuff that a noob would like to know: is it fully working what I buy, how do I see (yes this is show in some pictures of the lenses), do I connect this stuff to a battery pack? It's more a web site for a very small niche of people who know already 90% of the NVG etc. And maybe that's what you want it to be. After all this is not airsoft stuff it's real deal, real steel owners stuff. I am just trying to understand how to build one but there is a huge quantity of tools to be bought too which inflate the price and then zero manuality ... I wish to make a pvs 31 like and a gpnvg in the future. An maker that has shown in a video how to make a pvs (digital camera) not like yours also has included a camera recording capability. Thanks.

[@shawnwillis7561]

I was just thinking, you showed the tube housing that you had printed in aluminum that the printers fucked up. Ive started 3d printing a few months ago to get in on the Nylaug beta and i decided to cast my own receiver in cast aluminum. I was thinking that if that housing is better in aluminum, maybe i could try casting it and seeing how it turns out. Seems like itd be an easy cast just from the outside

[@TierNoneOperator]

I always read the channel name as vonscher farms and it makes me laugh. What do you estimate the final cost for a gen 4 digital vs a gen 4 analog? Could you pair one digital tube with an analog? Kind of upgrade as you go sort of deal. My thought would be build a g4 digital, and then save to buy parts to convert to analog.

[@vonscherfarms925]

I have not tried pairing them and I’m unsure how that would perform. I know that it would really fuck with your eyes as the aspect ratio wouldn’t be exactly the same. I advise against it

[@TierNoneOperator]

@@vonscherfarms925 do you think you'll be able to compare the g4 with the opsin? I think the opsin looks very promising, but for the money it seems like you might as well save and go analog.
