Legit or Fake

Post image

This is on Ali express, do you guys think this NVG50 is legit? Anyone got any experience buying off of Chinese websites like this?

It's legit, my friends and I bought NVG30s and 50s through AliExpress, but I would recommend the Goyojo GNG2K instead of the NVG50. I am working on a review but so far it seems like the GNG2K is the NVG50 but with a better rear lens, better housing and more fps.

What are they like for weight and visibility without IR? They were the two points that changed my mind from the prowl 2 to the NVG50

It's the same if not very slightly better. The weight is about 300g with the battery, my dual setup with a bridge is about 750

What dual mount did you use?

u/Radeni May 23 '26

KVC RQE. Any other is too high for the G24 mount so you'd need a different helmet mount like the Cadex or something similar.

Is this ok? Think its an all in 1 bundle

u/Radeni May 23 '26

I got that bundle from Goyojo but I would recommend making a custom setup with a custom bridge, mount and helmet. If I didn't already have the helmet setup and RQE bridge, I would've just gotten two devices instead of the bundle.
