We wanted one of this to see the critters in our backyard. ru-vid.comUgkxGix1RueFf66g4dKZ0w4Qsw_3Vv6Xqant The first thing that I like about this is that it has a rechargeable battery. The other is that it is small and fairly easy to use. The instructions weren't too great but we played with it awhile and figured it out. Can see very well in our back yard down to the woods which is roughly a football field length in the dark. There were certainly more expensive ones out there but this works for us and was within our price range. We have not tried the video recording portion and may update the review later.
When I was a younger almost 20plus years ago there was a toy some kids had that looked just like the new 4 nod nvgs. It even had the eye divider glass for the site picture . It was white and purple and were supposed night seeing devices. I wonder if they got the patent from that toy company or if it was the other way around.
You mean the toy NODS packaged with the "dark edition" of "CALL OF DUTY - Modern Warfare" ? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JkbrDnm7xV0.html&pp=ygUwTW9kZXJuIFdhcmZhcmUgRGFyayBFZGl0aW9uIG5pZ2h0IHZpc2lvbiBnb2dnbGVz
I'm curious where you got the clone housing? I have some Gen 2+ WP IITs that I'm trying to get a good solid housing for and CANNOT find some good ones for the life of me...
I know nothing about night vision, but isn't there supposed to be some sort of purging of something done? I'm guessing for water-proofing or something?
Some do and some do not. I wouldn't even worry about it since the gas inside of the NODs will eventually escape in a few months. If you do this, use argon wine gas. With the opening facing down, remove the ocular lens and work in a sealable storage bag. Place the NODs in the objective lens unit and reinstall the ocular lens. Good luck.
I found the housing on Alibaba. LINDU OPTICS PVS-31 www.alibaba.com/product-detail/LINDU-OEM-factory-1X-binoculars-night_1600115721917.html?spm=a2700.shop_index.89.2.336a3481V8hRWx I paid $2000 for the housing and battery pack.
That's Amazing. I bought IIT from an agent in my country. But he said ”I couldn't tell where he got it from.” BTW The IITs not used. As far as I know, KATOD, EKRAN, china, Russia or something maybe. BTW min order with EKRAN IIT is 20. Good luck
This nods don't need batteries?? It's very impressive!!! I want to make so stetic NVGs but are a lot of videos only with prototypes. Thanks a lot to make it real. Greetings from México
The nod is need to CR123 battery. Absolutely nothing nod building videos....lol Probably the Nod building video of this model is the "first" video uploaded in the world. Thank you so much.
hello, sorry to bother you but I have a question, if I take the base from an fma with the green light (with the same wiring and changing the lens and putting it iit could work?, thanks a lot
I bought the housing on AliExpress. LINDU OPTICS PVS 31 Housing. www.alibaba.com/product-detail/LINDU-OPTICS-PVS-31-housing-NVG_1600070474440.html Good luck👍
@@nighthorus Thank you! I noticed you have White phosphor but the link you dropped is for green tubes. Will the green tubes in that link work with the Lindu Optics housing?
@@chrisr.1039 I think, Yes. BTW The color doesn't really matter. P20 Light Green, P43 Green, P45 White.... Whatever. I haven't purchased the tubes here, but I think they are compatible with LINDU PVS-31. The size of MX10160 is 1.448”diameter and 1.210”length. There are some errors in the calculation, but it should fit. maybe. 1.448”x1.210”=about 36.7mm x30.7mm 37mm x 31mm IIT www.alibaba.com/product-detail/37-31MM-Image-Intensifier-tube-for_62294623513.html?spm=a2700.wholesale.0.0.71094bc50VSg0p Please purchase at your own discretion and Good Luck🤞
@@izayaorihara7059 I bought it from an agent in my country. The seller didn't tell me where I bought it. And he said "pls you're not to say who bought it from" BTW, Nods is legal in my country.
Gen 1 is pretty bad. You'd only see things with the illuminator on, everyone sees the red glow. Without illuminator you're better off with your own eyes.

I believe you put those in backwards, isnt the little notch supposed to line up with a corresponding tab? I dont know , myself, i just watched a similar video and thats what they said
Where did you get the housing? I am finding some clones for 50 USD. Do they come with the correct lens and electronics to just drop in an IIT tube, or do I need a parts kit? I am planning on building one of these myself.
@@aesthetic8780 This comment is a year old before I knew anything about night vision. Most people don't really know how this stuff works and just ask questions to learn.

Friend of mine bought a pair of night but I can for your helmet. It was pretty cool paid $6,000 for him. When you looked at all the clouds you couldn't see a star but with the binoculars you can see through the clouds and see all the stars. I don't know how much this one is but you can't see that in this video
Hi, did I misunderstand or did you create an NVG using the housing of a PVS31 Dummy and 2 analog tubes? Is the procedure simple as seen in the video or are there other steps you have omitted? What is the cost of all?
@@nighthorus l sent a message to the Chinese brand Lindu, unfortunally right now they don't have the high version but just basic and medium version with FOV 40°...
I’m super interested where u got the clone pvs 31 housing because im looking into building one, it looked great and came with objective lens and other internals, it would be great if u can tell me the name or a link
I used a LINDU OPTICS PVS - 31 housing. by the ways, I bought the nods housing on Alibaba. I'm not sure if you can get one on Alibaba at the moment for $2000. but there're other interesting PVS-31 clone housings out there besides LINDU, so check them out. Also, although it's not the URL for this product, I found a store like this www.aliexpress.com/store/1102475008?spm=a2g0o.detail.0.0.305aTPZtTPZttB Good Luck

I can't remember where I saw it (90% sure it was a video here on YT) but I have heard of people using canned Argon to purge housings rather than Nitrogen. The theory is that since Argon is heavier than Nitrogen and Oxygen it naturally purges it out if you hold the housing so that the port is at the highest point. It's not perfect and there's no way to measure the pressure, but it should stabilize at close to standard pressure for your environment if you fill it slowly. The source that I watched said that they have used this method multiple times and never had an issue with fog or condensation.
Interesting, never heard of IIT before. I have worked on scopes with ITT tubes however. Most white phosphor are Gen 3+ tubes. A Gen 2.5 tube in the industry is also known as Gen 2+, about a gen 1.5 back from the 3's. how was the quality if the kit? I do like the way the tubes were packed, what brand of tubes did you use?
Actually, I don't know what brand of these. I talked to the agent when i bought the WP 2.5 IIT. he said “it was made was Russia or China, although I can't say the company name, sry”

I didn't buy it here but it was a candidate for purchase.If you buy one tube, about $1300 including shipping. www.alibaba.com/product-detail/37-31MM-Image-Intensifier-tube-for_62294623513.html?spm=a2700.9114905.0.0.E9ssFl
1900 usd sounds like very much for a simple housing. I paid 460 usd for a nvm-14 monocular housing including vat and shipping. I might get this one at sometime though.
I have never used it with Airsoft. However, when I was climbing a low mountain, I fell and hit PVS-31 on the ground, but it’s still working. Maybe the durability is good.
