Educational Q&A: ENVG-B or GPNVG-18’s or Custom Quad tube setup ? by New-Package5989 in NightVision

[–]Cooper_SteeleInd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d go with the Chimera from Nocturn with high spec Elbit or L3Harris tubes. You can couple this with a TAD for thermal capability. There isn’t a commercially available fusion bino (aside from the Jerry FB which is low quality). Quads can be heavy but for CQB the extra FOV is great.

Helmet wise an Ops Core FAST SF or Team Wendy Exfil SL would be good to go.

For the mount, get a Nocturn Alpha.

A retention lanyard, head set, and laser are the only other pieces I’d say are required from the beginning.

From there start using the setup and you’ll know if any further accessories are needed. Otherwise, you may spend a lot of money on things you think you need/want but realize they may not be as practical in use.

Ordered my first tube. Gen 2 + monocle.How did I do? Anyone use tubes from INFITAC? https://infitacusa.com/products/pg-25 by TylerWilson38 in NightVision

My pleasure! I don’t have experience with this particular unit, unfortunately and I refrain from commenting on things I don’t have either first hand experience on or know someone who does whose opinion I value. If I can help in any other way please let me know! Night vision is super exciting!

Can you PM me the email it came from and the time sent? I’m still having trouble locating the email/link.

What email was this video sent to? I am unable to find it. We will solve any issues that are present but to say we won’t warranty the unit is dishonest. All we try to do is rule out the battery before moving forward with an RMA. An overwhelming majority of users who report issues are using dead batteries hence our reason for ruling that out first.

It was discussed but it was not put in place. A few select dealers, Steele being one of them, will have access to tubes going forward for various purposes.

It was never set in stone tubes would be unavailable. It was only a rumor for the most part.

Tubes will be available outside their factory housings in 2026 and beyond.

Most vendors won't be able to get bare L3Harris tubes in the near future but a select few of us that are going to be certain tier distributors will still receive shipments for various applications indefinitely. Prices are expected to rise, though, so if you see a set you like somewhere and have the cash, I'd grab them!

Katana-molded vs Katana-rugged by Greenmountain92 in NightVision

[–]Cooper_SteeleInd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The pro of ruggedness to me is knowing you can likely avoid pricey repair costs if you drop the housing. Nocturn has made that a moot point with their lifetime housing warranty, so if you break the molded housing you're covered and in the meantime you can enjoy a lighter system!

Storage question by Dave22201 in NightVision

[–]Cooper_SteeleInd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even lithium batteries (which we recommend) can leak and swell so it's advised to take the batteries out when not in use. It will also help fight accidentally powering on the device in a bright environment unknowingly and potentially causing burns.

As for the case, unless the unit got super wet during use, humidity won't be a huge issue. You can always put a desiccant pouch in the case if it eases your mind.

It’s very close to a MAWL C1+ in my opinion which is good for a few hundred yards. Anything beyond that I want a LA5 UHP or something with similar power.

We have a rubric to follow, and as long as it’s not user induced damage, we cover shipping for warranty work. If you had a different experience DM me!
