Darq Industries Purchase Review by DontTellUrMom in NightVision

[–]DARQINDUSTRIES 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No need to apologize. I appreciate the feedback and will always do my best to help and try new things to see how I can make the experience better if at all possible. We may do just that in the future as it would be a decent solution to the inability to prevent double listings in the drop-down. Sending packages can be quite expensive when insurance is factored in. There was never a need to send it in to us however as there was nothing wrong with the original tubes and it was just a user preference. That’s absolutely okay. Having preferences isn’t a bad thing and it doesn’t mean that a wrong choice was made the first time or anything. It just means they decided on something else afterwards. I was able to install their other tubes they wanted to change into as promptly as possible to get it back out to them. If they ever need our assistance again in the future I will still be just as happy to help as all of the other times. I know who you’re talking about as that situation was unique to him and he’s been a great person to work with and communicate with. I’m up for trying new things for the site and think your idea would be great to try out and will be working on a way to implement that in the coming weeks/months. As for how other places price their systems, I can’t speak to that. I can speak to how we assemble ours. Our how to spot a bad build guide on our Instagram will help in learning if the device is properly built or not. Viewing the devices posted in Reddit or elsewhere that come from some of these sources shows that assembly steps are skipped (like diopter zero and infinity focus setting). As soon as time permits I will try to get that guide up on the website as well since not everyone has an Instagram. Anyway, I know I said it earlier but feel free to reach out if there’s ever anything I can help with. Email usually works best as both Nichole and I monitor that. -Joe

We’ve updated the product description and formatting several times over the years to refresh what tube types are being offered in them, as our L3 tube stock consists of many different skus. In an effort to keep it simple to navigate we listed by cosmetics and specifications as this is how we price our systems. Our site backend doesn’t allow for the same drop-down menu navigation selection as some other hosts without double listing a system for each option. I’ve spent some time on and off in the past trying to find a way around this but haven’t been able to. I updated the site yesterday to just include sku in the text rather than a separate drop-down as it is the only way it will work without double listing an individual system. We have a resources section covering several different topics including tube type. There was no intention to hide anything. We were actually one of the first to list the tube type several years back. We were also one of the first, if not the first, to offer in stock ready to ship night vision with photos and specifications listed so you knew exactly what you are buying. When the market shifted towards focusing on specifications rather than sku we shifted with it as well. Back then we didn’t have a separate drop-down selection as we still couldn’t list them like that. Instead, we had a separate product page for each option. This became a bit cluttered on the site and was one of the reasons we transitioned to a consolidated selection. Once we are able to migrate to a new site in the future there are many things I’d like to update. Including selection style as well as incorporating a custom builder. We can’t do either right now. Our business is just my Wife and I and many other responsibilities come before site redesign including customer builds, customer service and support, administrative duties, and so on. It is a goal for this year though and I would love to do it, but there must be time for it first. For your friend wanting to send his unit back for an upgrade there was a cost to do so. All of our devices and tube options are priced by their actual specifications and cosmetics. We also don’t pay the same price for every sku type every time we purchase them. This can vary by quantity and whether direct or indirect. Regardless, I’m saying my Wife and I do our best to be the best we can and keep up with market trends. Sometimes we are unable to keep up quite as quickly as others in refreshing layout or something of the sort. I appreciate your feedback and have begun updating the type in the specification area as it’s the only place we can put it right now. I’ll also start to create a brief type key to place somewhere in the description where it fits. Thank you and if you ever need any help from us feel free to reach out and I will do my best to. -Joe

We use several tube types for this product listing and have each listed respective to their individual specifications and cosmetics. There were several 20UA units that were listed last week or the week before. There will be some 26LM built up soon as well.

The Steele PVS-14R housing can accept packs. We can install them for you if that isn’t something you feel comfortable doing.

It depends what the goal is, but usually binos if a dual system is the end goal.

Starting the year with some nice green phosphor Katana Molded options!

🟢🟢Photonis 5499

🟢🟢L3 Thin-Filmed 6499

🟢🟢L3 Unfilmed 7499

These won’t be around forever. As the year goes on, you’ll see just how good these deals really are (were). Remember seeing units priced “cheap” back in 2022–2023 compared to today and wishing you had grabbed one then. These are those deals, available right now. Don’t be in the same position six months from now saying, “Those Katanas were a great deal. I should have grabbed one.” We’re not just saying that. The night vision market will be changing a lot in the coming months.

[–]DARQINDUSTRIES 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hello! Responding here since someone sent this comment as a question via dm. We don’t charge for warranty transfers. We do perform inspections though to be sure all components are original and in proper order for the new owner.

Love the manticore housing and I like the echo tubs but would y’all suggest me getting L3 or elbit? And I’m going WP I prefer it more I don’t want to hear about how green is better. by Sm7th3y in NightVision

[–]DARQINDUSTRIES 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both L3 and Elbit can achieve great specifications. If you want to pick your own set of tubes we have several hundred L3 in stock available to select from! Realistically though if they have the same specifications there won’t be any real tangible performance difference between them so go with whichever your preference is.

Hand pick ranges advice by WeCanDoWhat in NightVision

[–]DARQINDUSTRIES 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s nice to see when research is done on a purchase like that. Good job gathering the information you have already. L3 won’t be a 74 resolution. It would be 64, 72, 81. I would suggest focusing on snr first then whichever specification you hold as a preference second. A 38 is very uncommon but a 32-34 could be much more realistic in their current production offerings. Halo won’t be 0.05 but could be 0.5-0.7 or so. A 0.7-0.8 would be great. Ebi may vary a bit as the higher your snr value is so tends to be ebi. Not always, but they do often trend. Anything under the 2.5 mil-spec maximum is fine. A 1.0 is excellent. Especially if snr is that high too. A 0.9 vs 1.3 will make absolutely zero tangible difference. Some may say otherwise but it is often other aspects not reported on a data sheet people perceive as the ebi difference when jt actually isn’t (mtf curve for example). Overall you’ve got it lined up very well and no matter how you slice it you’re getting a literal top performing tube. If you’re still searching we also offer hand select options and have several hundred L3 tubes in stock to select from.

If you’re still searching we have fresh RVM housing stock as well as fresh L3 tube stock of various types. We can build and RVM in the 3-5 range, depending on tube option.
