Not that I have any direct experience with the PSQ-36 but based on what I read about the system it seemed flawed to me. The thermal was tied to the NV channel, meaning you had to run the NV to run the thermal. Now with the PSQ-20 it had a separate thermal channel, meaning you could use the thermal in a stand alone mode thus you could use it during the day or during that twilight period where you could not use NV. The other thing that seemed stupid about the PSQ-36 was that the unit was fixed, meaning you could not rotate the modules separately.
Now based on what I read this new ENVG does the smart thing in carrying over the separate thermal channel and incorporates the ability to rotate each NV module. The thing I did not like about the PSQ-20 was that it used a dedicated mount with power supply, and based on the picture of this new ENVG they are going the same route. If I recall correctly it was one of the guys from at TNVC that said the military liked the 15's (Bino's) with the COTI as an add on so if something broke the entire system was not wasted. No idea if the military really cares about having the separate thermal channel. Now I cannot compare what I use NV/Thermal for with what the military uses it for, but based on my experience the separate thermal channel of the PSQ-20 is an incredibly handy feature to have. Sorry as this string probably should have been a separate topic as this is a pic thread.

Thanks to brodband8 for giving me the little bit of extra courage to cut on a $600 helmet.
My ops core Skelton maritime rails came in today. Got the carbon all cut and edges sealed. I modified the cover and pretty much pull the entire cover apart to mod it to fit the maritime. I also wish I had the right color loop on hand and will change it out later on. Not that the color matters as my manta covers the little patch completely. More to follow... got to get my sordins on, secure the manta, and build a external battery pouch tomorrow. Will hopefully have it back up and running tomorrow. I’m really digging the skeleton rails with ability to put zip ties through he arc rails.
