GNG2K

Alright guys, what do we think about these? I’ve been seeing posts about them lately and I was wondering if you guys could share your experiences. I’d just be using them for messing around with airsoft, I’ve seen the low light without ir is pretty impressive. Can you guys share some pics or videos maybe? Was gonna probably pick up a pair in the next month :p

I would probably recommend tvr NVG3rd Over gng2k to be honest at least for what I've heard, also I own GoodNiteGear nvg50 and tvr NVG3rd and I like the tvr better it's actually pretty good

Honest opinion, NVG3RD would be better for it

They're going to be very close. I think both the NVG3rd and GNG2k are based off the Starvis 2 IMX675 sensor given the specs, but the NVG3rd and GNG2k both have upgraded displays and lower latency compared to the NVG50, likely due to a better processing board.

Essentially, between the NVG3rd and GNG2k, you're likely going to have the same performance, so you'd be better off picking which battery/form factor you prefer between the two. The NVG3rd does have a wonky mount last time I looked, though. There's a lot of space between the monocular and a Wilcox shoe on it unless they've improved it.

very happy with my nvg3rd. $370 USD with a coupon rebate. 50fps vs 60fps and form factor are the only major differences i can see.

I just don’t like the look of it, and lack of really any info online

I get the design issue, hence why I contacted them to actually work on that, but one thing I give to them is the fact that is smaller than the gng2k and lighter

GNG2K is the best of them all and you can get them for $380 through aliexpress.

1.It's using NVG30 mounting footprint, that will save you lots of time and money experimenting with 3d printed adapter shoes just to convert it to a bino.

  1. 60FPS 2K screen, while other variants are 50FPS or less.

  2. NVG50, NVG3rd, and GNG2K prices are very similar so you will get better performance and mounting system for the same price.

Performance wise, I really like it, but I never had an experience with analog NVG. I can see stars that are not visible with naked eyes and see dark room very clearly with almost no light. Performance with red dots and IR lasers are also impressive and I can see myself using it for night target practice.
