    Night Vision Envis M703E weapon mounting

    Weapons mounting ENVIS w/ DLOC QD Mount The aluminum j-arm adapter is a must have for helmet mounting but is still not the way to go for weapons mounting. The aluminum mount does give the ENVIS housing a fighting chance but the plastic housing is just to soft for it to be sufficient for...

    Night Vision L3 LWTS vs M18 640

    Blister forming stiff! Yes, the objective on mine is so stiff that blisters form from adjusting the focus. The objective also acts as a heat sink and gets concerningly hot after prolonged use, not hot enough to blister just hot enough to be startling. I don't really consider the ocular on...

    Night Vision Through the Tube Pictures

    2µm Salt in the wound! What a sad waste of a 2µm tube. Put that tube in my hands and I'll commit such gratuitous posting offenses that no one will ever want to hear about 2µm tubes again. Just imagine the potential here, 13,000ft up a hottie with a naughty body is silhouette'd against the...

    Night Vision Through the Tube Pictures

Camera used: Panasonic GF1 w/20mm f/1.7 Aspherical Lens (four years old and unmodified). White Balance set to 7600K. The white balance is one of...

    Sniffle Sniffle, here are some of the last pictures through my MTM before I nuked it. Still get misty thinking about, not easy digging up these memories. Yes, snakes don't seem to show up to well.

    Night Vision PEQ-15 light saber battle

    Delta4-3, Were you running a LIF at the time or Class A, B or C filtered lenses? If so the use of a LIF or filtered AVS lenses would explain why you couldn't see the beam on the green laser.

    Night Vision New Amber Filters

    Re: New Amber Filters I got mine here: IMS Amber Filter They are very effective, the optical polycarb. is crystal clear and coatings appear to be top notch. The eyecup retaining ring on these is the same metal ring as is often supplied with the unit, so there is minimal protrusion.

    Night Vision Opnion on this PVS 14 - morovision enforcer

    Re: Opnion on this PVS 14 - morovision enforcer CJ, The facts regarding aspect ratio and MCP thickness are a matter of public record. It is the aspect ratio that determines MCP thickness not the other way around as your musings suggest. I don’t agree nor am I asserting that harmonics are the...

    Night Vision Opnion on this PVS 14 - morovision enforcer

    Re: Opnion on this PVS 14 - morovision enforcer Given equal MCP to Photocathode spacing an L3 Un-Filmed tube will be more recoil resistant than an ITT Pinnacle. This is mainly to do with the aspect ratio (channel length to diameter)of the MCP. The MCP used in the L3 Un-Filmed tube has higher...

    Night Vision NEW 4x Night Vision Weapons site !

    Re: NEW 4x Night Vision Weapons site ! Seems to be the case. Kinda stepped into the DBAL-D2 thread blind not knowing it was a minefield. The DBAL-D2 video with the AC/DC sound track had me a bit pumped and so I didn't consider a reference to it would be taken as an offense. No one likes...
