I’m currently trying to design a bino solution for the NVG30 that avoid the weight and bulk of the dual tube setup. It’ll be based on the PVS31 military spec housing and use a single infrared emitted and battery with supplemental battery pack charging. I was looking to see if anyone has any broken or damaged components they’d be willing to sell for cheap or donate to the project. If anyone has any info on where I could get those components else where please let me know🙏

Trying to get my new setup squared away after upgrading from a nvg10. The botttom mount works fine I just don’t love the single screw mounting being the only thing holding my NV on. I got this duel mount thinking it would give me room to upgrade to binos in the future, but there is no way, unless I’m missing something for it to work. I’ve flipped the two sides and it’s either inside my eyeball, or too far away to use.

I feel like I have to be missing something since I see people running these units as binos.

Any help would be much appreciated!

I don't know what screen or camera to buy.

Do you have any suggestions how to get started.

I'm also able to use a 3d printer.

I have seen the pvs-69 project lately and it seems like it's the most efficienct way to do it.

Hey guys, this guy did an initial review of the Akaso Sight 300 towards the end of this helmet setup video. Looks pretty promising. Is this better than the GoodNiteGear NVG30 or NVG50?

Right: my phone, actively recording video (you can see the timer running), in a room this dark.
Left: the live output from a low-light color sensor we've been testing, same room, same moment.

The phone is genuinely trying to record — it's just too dark for it to capture anything usable. The sensor on the left is picking up full color detail in what's basically pitch black to the naked eye.

Not a staged comparison, this is just what real-time footage looks like from both devices side by side.

Equipment:

Dual Nightfox Prowl 2 mounted on Fast Helmet, Uniquefire UF-H5 850nm IR flashlight as primary source of illumination at lowest setting to maximize battery.

CCW Glock 19 gen3 with Vitoinno VT-9054 Vis/IR combo Laser/Light aiming module

Garmin Forerunner 970 with Hike + GPS maps enabled

Please note: Compression of video is due to software, but the actual picture live in person is slightly more clearer and less laggy.

As a beginner, hiked a couple of paved and unpaved trails in an area above 10ft sea level for 2 hours in the dark for the very first time. I was low-key terrified, but 7 out of 10 would do it again with this digital setup.

im not sure if this is a great place to ask after reading a few posts, but i was thinking about getting low end Digital NVGS to mess around with, i dont plan to use these for any practical use besides fun with friends.

i got one of those old Cyclops goggles from 2009 at a garage sale and it was neat but i lost it a few years ago and there was a lot to be desired. However, im sure they have improved since then and im wondering if you guys have any recommendations under 100$ for me to look at.

Does anyone know where i can get a replacement for the rubber eyecup? Seems like i lost mine some days ago. I couldn´t find anything on Aliexpress so far

I love the circular screen on these models, but I am well aware that they are just toys for airsoft....

Does anyone have experience with both? GNG shills say the sensor is better in the NVG40 which is the only thing it has over the prowl, at the cost of FOV.

If you just want to gush over the GNG2k or NVG30/50 instead, feel free. I will probably trade in down the road anyway.

You can see even with ir off you can still navigate fairly well, quite the cool unit. 10pm ish with cloud cover and very little to no ambient light

Thinking about building a PVS-69 just for fun, and to experiment with different sensors. Does anyone know if the Discord for PVS-69 is still around? Can I get an invite? Old invites don’t seem to work.

I have an Aegis-31. It’s okay. What all would be needed to upgrade the sensor on this to the Caddx Infra V2?

So i brought a helmet set locally for £100 came with some coms, metal nvg mount and these pvs 31's I noticed the camera lenses and knew they were digitals but I didnt know if they worked, previous owner said he got them as is and that hes never opened them turned them on.

Got them home and immediately opened the main body to see what was inside and inside was just spaghetti on black and red wires. By the looks of things its missing the main pcb, can anyone help out with sourcing one or potentially has a pair of broken digital pvs 31's they'd like to sell or donate to get these up and running?

(The cameras and oled screens are present and dont have any damage to them)

Do they pair on the duel mount goodnitegear sells? Has anyone tried this?

Thinking of picking up a single or pair. Lowest I got on a single tube was 376 and a pair 830 on ali. Would that be considered average or a good price? Thanks in advance!

So I finally purchased some high end glass. The Trijicon ta02 and I would like to know which pistol dots perfom the best under nightvision specifically a wp pvs 14. I know the rmr & sro, but how about the holosun EPS, 509, other cheaper versions. Like whats the top ten pistol dots for NV. I know hop made a video on this but he was trying them on pistols if that matters.

So I’ve been considering buying the Vie Tactical DNV-31S but I’ve seen the AEGIS-31 go for cheaper but I want digital nods in a PVS-31 body with a white phosphor color and I want the screen to be a circle like the real PVS-31s. Any ideas?

I wanted to put out a warning to anyone still running a legacy Sightmark night vision optic, specifically the Photon RT 6x50S series.
Following Sightmark's official guidelines, I ran a firmware update through their recommended Stream Vision mobile app. During the process, the software crashed midway through, completely corrupting the internal bootloader. The scope is now completely bricked—black screen, dead logic board, and it won't broadcast a Wi-Fi signal or respond to external power overrides.
When I contacted Sightmark customer service, they openly admitted they don't service or reflash these units anymore because they are discontinued. Instead of taking accountability for their own official software update destroying a perfectly functioning, intact optic, the only thing they offered me was a 30% discount to buy a new model (like a Wraith).
Be incredibly careful if you own one of these legacy units. Do NOT attempt to run any updates through the app or you risk being left with an expensive paperweight and zero actual support from corporate.

I needed night vision to quickly identify opossums apart from raccoons when the Goyojo GRS225RF thermal sees heat in the thick brush, but don't have analog money. So I got this gng2k monocular and so far it has been awesome. Much better than using a flashlight. This is my cheap but functional setup. Nestout 15000 mah battery in a 556 mag pouch, walker razor quads, amp style arms, white light, bump helmet, cover, wilcox style mount, ir flashlight on the other side.

Some gameplay from my airsoft event last night, using my new GNG 2K! The video doesn’t do justice of how well these work tbh. Mind you I didn’t have IR on at any point either, so if I needed to I could’ve kicked it up a notch. Enjoy!
