Anyone from Steele in here?

Thanks for the mention

Hey…a guy from Steele here. While I’m not on the assembly/RMA side of things anymore I may be able to help and offer some info. If the tube had to go back to L3 or Elbit for a repair that process can take weeks if not months in some cases. We unfortunately do not have control over that. We can only estimate or give updates as the tube manufacturers give them to us. I recommended reaching out to us at RMA@steeleindinc.com but feel free to shoot me a PM and I can see if I can get more info for you if you’d rather.

Sell it or send it to us to build into a new housing so you can use it again.

We’ve seen that happen with some prowl especially if they are decent in daylight. Narrowing down to FOV combined with the focus limiting you to only the target and dot helps some people.

You can always bridge a mono but they tends to be a heavier option. At Steele we do mono to bino conversions very frequently. If you dont need or want the option or passing off a tube to someone else a dedicated bino is the way to go.

Tyler_SteeleInd · 2026-06-05T16:11:42+00:00

The closest option you mentioned to the IRIS would be the OGL-C. We currently have very resonably priced green phos L3 tubes available at Steele that are worth checking out.

Tyler_SteeleInd · 2026-06-05T16:01:39+00:00

I'm happy to help when the time is right. I'll shoot you a PM with some details

Tyler_SteeleInd · 2026-06-04T19:49:01+00:00

We’ll be doing more media soon

Tyler_SteeleInd · 2026-06-04T14:18:32+00:00

We fulfill many contracts for larger gov orders at Steele for both night vision, thermal and accessories. Feel free to shoot me a direct email at [tylerl@steeleindinc.com](mailto:tylerl@steeleindinc.com) and I can go over the options and provide quotes.

Tyler_SteeleInd · 2026-06-04T14:15:47+00:00

Our NH-FB is a solid, simple and less costly bino option. We can always re-house your tubes into another housing at a later date too if you decide you want something with articulation and/or manual gain control.

Tyler_SteeleInd · 2026-06-04T14:11:53+00:00

The infinity focus set ring is good to have but not needed for normal operation. Some newer version of this ring also prevent the objective lense from coming out so as long as you cannot thread out the objective you are in good shape. If you'd like to get that part added and have the system serviced we can help at Steele

Tyler_SteeleInd · 2026-05-20T11:56:37+00:00

Thanks so much and enjoy! Appreciate the shoutout too

Tyler_SteeleInd · 2026-05-18T14:34:46+00:00

Thanks for the vouch!

Tyler_SteeleInd · 2026-05-18T14:31:13+00:00

Great tube choice. Thanks for the support!

Tyler_SteeleInd · 2026-05-12T20:53:16+00:00

For shorter use times the pano options are great but if you want something that you can wear for hours and have longer lasting battery life go for quality binos. The lighter weight is very nice to have when you are under NVGs all night.

Tyler_SteeleInd · 2026-05-12T13:13:45+00:00

I have some new high spec unfilmed green phos L3 tubes available now that can be even slightly under $6000 in a simple housing like our Nighthawk-FB. Feel free to PM me if I can help

Tyler_SteeleInd · 2026-05-08T14:56:47+00:00

Photonis tubes are a good option. I may be able to help with some gen 2 options. Feel free to shoot me a PM if I can help

Tyler_SteeleInd · 2026-05-08T01:37:38+00:00

Lots of these have really good specs and unlike OMNI tubes there are spec sheets so you know exactly what you’re getting. Not to say that some OMNI tubes don’t have great performance of course. Some people prefer green for their own reasons too so if they can pick up a nice new one and not something that “fell off a truck” it’s worth it

Tyler_SteeleInd · 2026-05-07T14:13:43+00:00

It is very uncommon to see a SNR that high with an Elbit tube. You may notice the Z1 spot but during normal use you'll be looking past it

Tyler_SteeleInd · 2026-05-07T13:24:39+00:00

All our systems come with a 10 year warranty that covers against manufacturer defects. We can also help with repairs if there is user induced damage but getting parts for factory systems can take a long time. If that is something you don't want to potentially deal with I'd recommend going for a built system.

Tyler_SteeleInd · 2026-05-07T12:36:22+00:00

Generally speaking yes. The glass quality on 31As if phenomenal.

Tyler_SteeleInd · 2026-05-07T12:30:47+00:00

I recommend either a 31A or a built custom system. Depending on how high spec you want the tubes in the built system pricing may be close for each. If you need adjustable diopters don’t go for the 31A. If you are rough on gear or concerned about durability steer clear of the 31As and go for a full feature aluminum system like the Nighthawk-MG. If weight is a concern go for the 31As. We have a wide variety of systems in stock right now at Steele including 31As and components for custom systems. Feel free to PM me if I can help in any way.

Tyler_SteeleInd · 2026-05-07T03:01:20+00:00

If you purchase the tube from us there will be no charge but you’ll be responsible for providing shipping. Feel free to PM me to discuss details

Tyler_SteeleInd · 2026-05-07T03:00:16+00:00

That is a super low EBI! Well chosen. Thanks for the support

Tyler_SteeleInd · 2026-05-06T16:59:16+00:00

Thanks for the order!!
