Night Vision COTI attachment on PVS30?

[TheGerman]

I see in the kits they can get on a PVS24.

Anyone know if they can attach to a PVS30 as well as ANVIS9?

Also looking for a firesale priced PVS22 for another project

Hmmm. Would it work well being magnified.

@jwramp still have one to set in front of the 30 and see lol.

From the 'kits' they come with, I was thinking since it had an attachment method for the PVS24, the PVS30 should technically work.

Could be something stupid where its a housing/objective size issue.

I just meant at distance. I wasent sure how far the coti picked up at. Interested to know how well it work. Gotta be a way to mount it up.

It's only 240 pixels, so with any magnification you're cutting resolution demonstratively. Couldn't see the PVS-24/COTI setup working well with anything over 1x.

@Lowdown3 I see you list these things with the -24 mounting HW. How does it work/look?

 

[Lowdown3]

I know it can be used with the 24 but have never had anyone want one for a 24. Let see if I can find out about any mounts, etc. for that.

Assuming the 24 is intended for the non-LR version, which is good out to a max of 300 meters and is intended to be used with nothing longer than a 4x ACOG.

Under those conditions, the COTI might be serviceable, at least for detection. 240px under 4x magnification will be good only for spotting a heat blob beyond 100 meters.

P.S. If Lowdown can get me a 24 COTI mount, I’ll test it out with my 29A.

I was hoping it would at least show a difference/light spot that something could be there.

Beats having to illuminate the entire time, and allows you to have a possible target indicator before doing anything active.

When you're dealing with terrain and the need to designate targets as well as keep up with moving/fighting targets, NV > thermal. But having even a small thermal overlay would be greatly beneficial.

 

[TheGerman]

Anyone figure this out?

@TheHorta says don’t be poor get a UTC Xii.

DARPA has some nice fusion stuff if you know one of those people

Has nothing to do with money.

Thermal has a place, but I'm much more into the utility of nightvision over it. Good luck keeping track of things moving around on terrain and/or fighting you on a 2D thermal screen

You find it with thermal, you fight it with nightvision.

 

[deersniper]

I know I’m just giving you a hard time

One day we will have affordable available high def fusion systems if the commies don’t ban them first

Someone should 3d-print the basic part of the COTI -14 mount that it clicks into, then rather than a ring just have a couple loops for zip ties or a hose clamp to run through...

Any luck?

If it can Ill buy one

The coti has a 20 degree fov and i think with how low res it is, it would render the image unusable. The pvs30 is like 10 degrees

That being said, I think a COTI for a clip on I2 is a great idea. Honestly surprised it doesn't exist already.

The PVS-24 is 13 degrees. That would put about 156 pixels in your FOV if perfectly centered.

 

[jeffl838]

156 whole pixels?! pvs4 has 15 degrees lol

All pixels matter!
