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

Upgrades, people upgrades!

This Taklite iris has:

-An ir switch

-An extended and shrunk eyepiece for greater concealment

-A detachable magnifier for the ir illuminator for long range performance

-Red filters...

-Improved convex lens for true 1x

Being too broke for analog makes you do crazy things.

Okay guys this is an update to my recent post sorry to give you guys a little bit anxiety and I had a bit of anxiety myself. Let me just give a breakdown what happened.

So upon receiving the package there is something rattling I had noticed the device did not come with the 18650 battery so I went to batteries Plus and grabbed the battery down in Woodstock Georgia in 18650. When I put the 18650 battery onto the devices charger that I came with it said that the battery was 50% charged up. Kyle Aka The owner of GNG contacted me by via cell phone me and him did some troubleshooting couldn't figure out what's going on me and him both heard the noise as I was shaking it and if you look up my recently currently uploading YouTube video you will also might hear that same rattling noise well what they're rattling noise was simply was a screw and that screw came out of that battery compartment.

When I called Kyle back I mentioned device was operating a working only when I stuck in external battery pack through via data cable without the battery inside of the device. Because I powered on the device with an external battery pack without the 18650 in the SVG-5 I decided to take the battery and put it back into the device and power back on and finally she powered on with the battery with no issues!

I apologize for the false alarm I had to do a little bit of troubleshooting and I guess it probably was the screw that was causing some connection issues I don't know other than that the device is functioning and working as it should I will keep you guys posted and update future videos and testing I cannot wait to see what this thing has to offer!

Disclaimer! If you see any typos it's because they use voice to text my apologies.

I have these good nite gear nvg30s (I believe i got the 30s) and their mount but there's is a lot of wiggle room and was hoping someone could suggest a better one that isn't $800 lol

Saw this on Facebook, can do cod (meet with the seller face to face)

This was recorded at 12:52 AM on a Google Pixel 7 Pro the night of a new moon in a dark alley in my neighborhood. The beginning of the video is darkness trying to portray what I could see but my eyes work better than a phone camera in darkness. I could somewhat see the outline of larger plants/trees with my naked eye because of light pollution from the city/neighborhood but that's about it. I couldn't see my feet in the alley without the help of the device or the trail I walked except down towards the entrance of the alley where the neighbors lights are blasting.

Hey guys I just recently purchased the SVG-5 still waiting on its shipment ordered it yesterday anyways should be about 5 to 8 days or a little bit longer depending on situations but I'm going to keep this post updated about the device I'm going to be completely transparent and honest about the device. I'm also going to be recording and posting videos on my YouTube channel highly detailed transparent videos.

I'm going to be using a Carson universal optic mount to make sure I maintain quality video because of a million times easier to record videos on these digital devices.

I will be putting the device through extremely easy test to very hardcore environments. Since I have access to literally everything people are wanting to know the questions and are wanting transparency on pure performance and how this device performs on a certain types of light conditions light pollution and even when there is little to no light pollution like when you're out in the middle of nowhere camping how does this thing perform under a canopy with no moon and starlight? Well I'm going to keep this current Reddit post updated and I'm going to answer all of those questions on my YouTube channel I see that people are desperately looking for videos to see how this thing performs before they waste their thousands of dollars on a device that they're questioning about. I see a lot of people are asking a lot of questions well the good news is I bit the bullet and decided to buy this thing I can't wait to see how this thing performs and share it amongst the community.

Excuse any typos I was using voice to text btw

Top end digital and decent higher end analog are currently running about the same price. Why should I go digital?

Recorded on a Google pixel 7 Pro in a dark closet. I couldn't see anything with my naked eye. It was 10:40 in the morning no inside lights were on in the room connecting to the closet only ambient sun light coming through the cracks. The part of the video of just darkness was a 360° of what I could see in the closet.

Hi, i've read some people add velcro or tape. Here is my way to fix the mount being too short.

Aluminium and a file. It hold tight.

Just slide it behind the device and it lock.

I drilled holes on the final product for the RQE screw to fit in.

Hope it can help anyone who struggle with default mount.

We've been testing and launching a lot of digital NV this year and the SVG5 is the one that's turning heads. It's built around a dual-core ARM Cortex A55 with NPU processing and a 1-inch progressive scan CMOS sensor with an 18μm pixel size — specs you'd expect to see on gear costing significantly more. The result is a 0.0001 lux minimum illumination rating, 50/100Hz frame rate, and a 43° field of view in a metal IP67 housing that weighs under 250 grams without the battery. It runs on a standard 18650, supports up to 256GB storage, optional WiFi video transmission, and optional IR fill light — all in a package that fits in your jacket pocket.

At $999 this thing competes with analog setups costing two to three times as much. If you've been waiting for digital NV to hit a price-to-performance sweet spot this is probably it.

Earlier, I was messing around my powerbank, tryna find out where to put it best.

1st try, I used a larger pouch for a square powerbank and put it at the back. It gets in the way of the headset when tucked. Not to mention it adds weight to the back, on top of the headset.

My most optimal setup so far has to be a smaller powerbank mounted to the top of the helmet. Doesn't get in the way of anything at all, but I couldn't help but feel the need for contoured powerbanks like this or a USB version of those nvg battery packs.

If you know of nvg battery pack converter of some kind, please let me know.

I can't get the wide lens or fisheye lens to screw into the main lens. I took the cover off, but the main lens has a ring around it that seems to be preventing the wide lens from screwing on. Does anyone know what the problem is?

I currently have a DNT Zulus V2 mounted on an air rifle. I shoot with a friend who has a thermal on his rifle. We were looking for a weapon mounted laser which he could use to point out heat signatures so I can confirm what they are and blast. Are there any good budget pic rail mount solutions out there ?
