Night Vision What housing to use?

[Habu64]

Hey guys, newbie to NVG's here. I've been trying to get into the game now for awhile, finally scored a set of 10160 tubes. They are initially out of a pair of ANVIS 9 housings I believe. Any input on what housings would work for me and where a good place to score some is, would be much appreciated.

I’m currently looking into sending my 2 PVS-14’s off to have the tubes and glass put into a binocular housing.
Haven’t settled on a housing yet, but these look interesting:

UANVB "Katana" — Nocturn Industries

The Ultralight Articulating Night Vision Binocular *DISCLAIMER: This is a housing, optics are not included. Our kick starter product and first in a series of articulating binocular devices. This is the lightest binocular on the market to date at a functional weight of 17.76 oz. fully assembled (wi

Wow that's super interesting... DTNVS weight without the price... Not sure I'm a fan of push button for on but other than that seems legit

Those are pretty sweet, I've glanced at them before. I'm wondering, will the 10160 tubes fit most PVS31 housings?

Messing with a Katana right now, very interesting platform.

have a like new RNVG housing if interested.

@Lowdown3 what makes you say that? Seems super simple but don’t know how the materials would compare to DTNVS or others?

Looks like they have a version that runs off a battery pack too?

 

[Lowdown3]

Just like the looks/feel of it so far.

IIRC it's American made also so no foreign made stuff. And a standard light pipe fit in no problem. I've heard of dtnv issues where the lightpipe had to be "shaved" to make it work- and then sometimes it still casts a shadow evidently.

Lowlight Innovations is coming out with binos that are even lighter called the LLUL-21. If you're wanting pics of them you'll need to go to their Facebook page.

I am considering the Nocturn Industries new monocular housing. Are there any other new mono housings out there. It seems binos are more popular so I have a hard time finding new mono options

Any update on Lowlight or UANVB?
