The FUTURE of Night Vision is HERE! ADNV G14SE Advanced Digital NVGs 🌔

[@Watchlist_Nominee]

we are almost there! price and power balance is getting better and better.

[@hypemilitaria6447]

Awesome review! This is a really impressive unit! And the awesome thing about CMOS-based digital night vision is that they are basically immune to bright lights and do not wear out with use. I just finished my review on the ADNV-G14P2 as well; really looking forward to seeing your tests of the unit too!

[@luciankristov6436]

I honestly dont have a reason to replace my nvg30s yet. If this new digi had color it might have peaked my interest. Black and white makes things pretty difficult at times to distinguish objects from time to time.

[@nickgrady-xx7mm]

Keep going! Digital is the future!

[@garrettferrell6821]

Interesting product,I’m currently saving some money for a gen 3 PVS14..but I’m glad to see digital night vision improving so rapidly

[@BooDamnHoo]

You might want to go with thermal instead. Thermal is rapidly rendering nvgs obsolete.

[@garrettferrell6821]

@@BooDamnHoo I’m thinking a PVS14 or possibly duals with a thermal optic mounted on my rifle..RIX NV also has housing coming out that will work in conjunction with analog tubes for a thermal overlay..that’s what I would really like to work my way up to

[@OGAcidJoe]

@@BooDamnHoo Thermal is great for rapid detection however they still cannot see thru glass

[@OGAcidJoe]

All digital NV/Thermal has a short battery life and you are looking at a screen a few inches from your eye, still some big negatives.

[@cxsey8587]

@@BooDamnHoothis is not true, they’re complementary

[@jeffk5520]

Thanks for vid, looking forward for the next ones on this thing.

[@UrbanSurvivor]

Thank you! Will have more info on this device in the next few weeks.

[@KyzoFox]

What?!?! it’s about freaking time I’ve been waiting for a while. I can’t wait to get my hands on one of these. It’s gonna take me a minute to be able to spend that kind of money though hey I do like the price though it’s better than spending 2175. You got a good price

[@alexChabakphotography]

Please get a gen3 omni gp pvs14 to give analog a much more realistic chance i can get you one if needed

[@davidsirmons]

Price makes it far more attractive than standard PVS-14, and I love the light amp. About time. When it reaches the ~500 dollar point, it'll be far more successful.

[@travislupum]

These look incredible for digital the price is what shys me away a bit right now the market in the groups for used gen 3 gp pvs14 can be had right at $2k and below id really like to see one of these in person compared to a gen 3 14 im seriously thinking about selling a wp elbit xlsh pvs14 to get a set of duals of these

[@DogOneIsOpen]

Fantastic review

[@moss550]

This thing sounds great for night boating especially if your trip takes you into international waters. You can't legally leave national water with analogue NVG, but digital NVG are unrestricted.

[@47enterprises]

For digital and price this amazing performance

[@UrbanSurvivor]

So far the performance is great! More on this device coming to the channel soon!

[@stevegillespie6424]

Neat Let me know when you get mountable night vision range finders.

[@Zoraxon]

Impressive, very nice. Now let's see Hop's review

[@03dallasjs00]

Why are all the PVS 14 videos out of focus in the side-by-sides?

[@Luki82]

For example my Low end PVS has so much leeway in terms of resolution...that when i attached to it corrective lens (very slight correction)...it got even more sharp..it was ridiculous

[@travislupum]

You should be able to run ir spectrums that analog cannot see

[@DailyBibleQuotes-c8o]

I couldn't justify buying this over an analog pvs14, its still around the price of a gen2 pvs14

[@hypemilitaria6447]

But consider the advantages of a digital unit: complete immunity to bright lights, CMOS sensor with practically unlimited lifespan, and the ability to record video straight from unit.

[@sinistersam370]

@@hypemilitaria6447 the real interesting factor is that digitals of this quality will become more and more present and the prices will also become better over time.

[@OGAcidJoe]

@@hypemilitaria6447 Negatives short battery life and looking at a screen a few inches from your eye. It does have a place but I do not believe it belongs on a helmet or rifle perhaps mounted or handheld observation and security cams is a better role for digital.

[@thepaisleyproject]

@@hypemilitaria6447 digital is the future, but gen 3 can be had used for cheaper than this price point. So I don't think its ready just yet. Give it like 2 to 4 years, and then I really think it will be a SUUUPER enticing option, given the rate the tech is improving

[@Cole-mm9lo]

​@@thepaisleyprojectwhere? The price point of this is $1700.

[@martyg5156]

You should compare these with the new night operators fusion 3.0 and nvg30s! I’m curious if you’d be able to catch a ball from around 10 feet away due to latency. Also compare the BTI-10 thermal with the thermal that’s also built into the night operators fusion 3.0 would be a cool versus for budget helmet mounted thermals!

[@pixelatedzephyr6325]

in videos it almost looks like you are looking at a distant screen, does it actually feel like that in real life or does it feel the same as a pvs 14?

[@matthewconnor5483]

Digital will eventually take over. Especially with integration of processing units that can up res the image like what we see with DLSS in graphic cards.

[@CheapSushi]

what's the latency?

[@UrbanSurvivor]

Latency is very low. To me its not noticeable and much better than other digital devices I have used. I will reach out to the manufacturer for some more clarification on that.

[@UrbanSurvivor]

ADNV confirmed latency is 10ms at 100FPS

[@CheapSushi]

@@UrbanSurvivor thank you

[@240pixel]

Motion blur and battery life are things that needs to be addressed before one could argue that digital devices are superior.

[@Gandalf_axtuL]

The argument isn't superiority yet, it's whether someone can make a device that's even comparable to analog.

[@UrbanSurvivor]

I did mention that battery life is an advantage that the pvs14 has over this digital unit. Motion blur is very minimal. I am working on a much more in depth comparison that will highlight the pros and cons of these devices and will also be using the phone to record both devices to make that comparison as fair as possible.

[@mrx6666663]

Hello sir, do they provide battery during unboxing?

[@UrbanSurvivor]

yes a battery is included

[@davideinstein7887]

What does it look like when you're driving, flying, sprinting, etc?

[@endrit5885]

Can you do a review of the new Night operators Fusion?

[@spliter200]

Can you do a video of milky way and of the stars with this device?

[@hermanogrande3758]

What did you mean when you said "...the UI isn't as robust..."

[@Exod365]

I fully understand the cost of thermal and paid it and utilize it. But for that extreme cost of good night visiom I just don't believe I need it. I'm not military I'm not clearing dark buildings so price point was the only thing that could really convince me otherwise.

[@aesthetic8780]

@@Exod365 Clearing buildings is the least thing why you need expensive night vision. And in which world is Night Vision an extreme cost factor in comparison to thermal? It way way cheaper. Why is it such a big deal to look at used devices? I bought 5x Gen2+ units for 200 - 700 bucks each.

[@UrbanSurvivor]

Which thermal unit did you pick up?

[@thomasbrookman6759]

I do search and rescue,just be in mind the helicopter with extraordinarily expensive thermal gear and highly skilled operator flew over a missing person twice while on snow but were found by the mk1 eye ball. The helicopter in question is a hmcg Sikorsky s92a, thermal is good but it most definitely has limitations as we have found out the hard way

[@5150gtrman]

Just to clarify- the 940nm is outside of the visible light range for naked eye... ie you cannot see the illuminator ( red light ) when using the IR. Is that correct?

[@UrbanSurvivor]

correct! the 940nm wavelength cannot be seen by the naked human eye.

[@DiipsRatsAirsoftPortugal]

how does it perform in dynamic range? i mean if by using a peq laser the laser floods the image in white completely like in the opsin or it still allwows to see the detaings under the laser pointer, like an analog nvg??

[@mattgert8152]

Have you ever seen or handled the DNV-31M from Muggerx out of Australia. Boasts some pretty impressive specs. Would love to see someone do a video comparing and discussing it. You know what to do ....

[@han6211]

Unfortunately, they're lying about being a small shop. They're just reselling DL-31s from China. Worse still, they have a significant markup. Performance isn't amazing either, since the units use off the shelf IMX385s, which you can get for around 100 USD pretty easily.

[@mattgert8152]

​@@han6211so you've bought one and reverse engineered?

[@HookLine48]

What helmet mount works with this?

[@UrbanSurvivor]

The G14SE comes with a dovetail mount thats compatible with the L4 G24 mount

[@HookLine48]

@ Gotcha, I see the Wilcox G24 mount on optics planet, would that work? Thank you I’m a complete noob to the night vision game

[@HookLine48]

@ Gotcha, I just looked through all the packaging contents again just to be sure and the only accessories I have are the two batteries the charger, 2 cables, and battery extension cap. No mount of any kind in the packaging contents. Additionally the manual doesn’t have a dovetail mount listed in the contents. By dovetail mount, are you referring to the threaded hole behind the IR illuminator?

[@verynice1192]

can someone explain to me why in the video, the device is running at 100 FPS but it looks to me like its only 30 FPS

[@jessiejoestar626]

Is the better than the NVG 30?

[@UrbanSurvivor]

Yeah this is a step up from the nvg30 is most ways.

[@BronzeAgePuritan]

Can this detect IR lasers in wavelengths that analog cannot?

[@UrbanSurvivor]

I believe it can detect up to 1100nm

[@slappomatthew]

going to see no moon no IR performance. every time i went shooting with my sionyx it was zero moon and it was useless without IR. also really want to see this against a mil spec gen3. gen 2 is already way out dated and almost matched by sionyx.

[@UrbanSurvivor]

I will be doing some very low light indoor test comparisons between the OPSIN and G14SE and the G14P2. Im not sure if I'll be able to get a gen3 tube together but its something I'm exploring.

[@peterwoolliams1283]

Testing with no moon in the country under heavy tree cover will show how close digital is getting. Milky Way shots would be nice too. Be interested to know the specs of your gen2+… photonis or other. A secondhand gen3 from the last decade would be a better benchmark.

[@aetius9]

Do you guys sell the add-on recording device?

[@UrbanSurvivor]

@@aetius9 yeah we do have those for $120 you can reach out on the website via email and we can add those to your order.

What is the price of these nods.

[@adziup]

Around 3k euro

[@aesthetic8780]

Gen3 low light Performance! They single handly destroyed OPSIN.

[@UrbanSurvivor]

I haven't tested gen 3 personally but what I have seen so far is very impressive. I'm going to be doing a more in depth comparison with a bunch of different devices (OPSIN, Gen 2+ PVS14, NVG30, ADNV G14P2, PVS69, NVG10, NVG40, Nightfox Prowl, NightOperators Max2) together in a low light room and then ranking them all in a tier list style video.

[@aesthetic8780]

@@UrbanSurvivor Digital outperformed Gen3 already 10 years ago. Low light performance wise! Every other point goes to analog night vision. Also don't forget. ADNVs lens is only 20mm wide. PVS-14 lenses are 27mm. So you get way less light in. But it's still on par with gen3. But low light performance is not why we use analog night vision. It's the real time image intensification. Pure chemistry and physics.

Are digital NVGs waterproof or resistant?

they are water resistant

[@gunplaytv]

[@Mferchier]

Why such a price difference between ADNV-G14P2 and G14SE?

[@UrbanSurvivor]

There's a 2/3" sensor in the G14SE and a 1" sensor in the G14P2 so the low light performance is a little bit better.

[@Tattlebot]

P2 is much higher performance

[@Mferchier]

@@UrbanSurvivor I would like to see them both on the field. $1300 difference?

@@Mferchier Try the HYPE militaria guy, he's Chinese and has a recent O8 for comparison.

[@impactodelsurenterprise2440]

let's be honest about the deer footage you can clearly see a crisp shadow of the deer. There is clearly light source on that deer.

[@Mferchier]

The light reflection of the moon creates shadows that you can see with NVGs. When it's full moon you see them with the naked eyes

[@ID-9999]

This is supposed to cost 1.2k not 1.6k..

[@UrbanSurvivor]

If you order from ADNV directly you'd have import duties/ shipping fees which would total closer to 1.4k. Good Nite Gear is US based so you would get the item from us much quicker and would be able to deal with our customer support which would also be much quicker.

[@ID-9999]

@UrbanSurvivor for me it would be 1.3k€ (with tax included) ordering directly from their store , but yea, you have to wait a loong time seemingly, but its still kinda much you pay for the faster delivery. As the g14pv2 is only about 200 or 300 more expensive but has much better specs

[@tstartb7494]

made in china bro!

[@garrettferrell6821]

I’m in no way shape or form saying this is gen.3 PVS14 quality but just because something is made in China doesn’t automatically mean it’s trash.China is fully capable of making quality products and they do.Chinese products get a bad name for the cheap sh*t they produce but they make that cheap sh*t because they have a large market for that cheap sh*t..if you don’t want to buy Chinese products due to political reasons,that’s fine but to automatically think China isn’t capable of making quality products is asinine.I’m not even speaking on this particular nv device.with that being said,I have no personal experience with it so I really can’t speak on that

[@moss550]

Yes, made in China indeed, because no one else has the tech to make decent digital NV😂

[@Lean-Sixsigma]

U.S. civilian market needs to stop funding China's night vision and optic R&D and manufacturing programs. Buy American or from a country that is not preparing to go to war with us and support our R&D and manufacturing infrastructure. The USA makes the best night vision products hands down

[@moss550]

@@Lean-Sixsigma Would you like your government telling you what you are allowed or not allowed to own. I am sure the Harris government and ATF will love an NVG licencing act and a $2000 tax stamp 'to pay for the enforcement'. If the US manufacturers lowers their prices, no one in US will buy Chinese. The R&D cost for Gen2 and Gen3 has already been paid for by DOD contracts decades ago, so it cost much less to make US NVG than this Chinese company, who is still doing R&D to reinvent the wheel using digital tech.

[@Luki82]

that is simply lie.
