So no one answered my question! Are you guys telling me that with this thing I can see in the dark!?!?

Quoted: Sorry about the math, I just woke up. Still at $3150, it's a great deal. And where are the 6015s available for right now at $2650? No one that I contacted (less than a month ago) had them in stock with no idea on arrival date. -Cap'n

I do sell the 6015 for that price. I do not have any in stock....

Quoted: Is the weapons mount pictured the only mount avalible for this NVD? Also how much is it and how much is the swing arm for head and helmet mounting? I am taking a swag here but normal PVS 14 mounts and arms will not work on this correct? IPSC_GUY P.S. new-arguy, these things just "make you think" you can see in the dark and they drain the wallet like you can't imagine.

My other question off of yours is if the LaRue Tactical PVS-14 mount would work with the Insight.....

Quoted: Is this a trick question???? You can already see in the dark, this will let you see  better!

GOOD ANSWER! hahahahaha!

AN ITT 6015 IS NOT GOING TO COME WITH A 64 LP/MM TUBE! COMPARING THE 64 LP/MM M.U.M. WITH A 6015 IS LIKE COMPARING AN M-4 WITH A MINI-14. THERE ARE BETTER GRADE PVS-14'S, BUT THEY WILL COST AS MUCH AS OR MORE THAN AN INSIGHT TECHNOLOGIES M.U.M.

I DO NOT KNOW THE PRICE OF THE M.U.M. WEAPON MOUNT OR ADAPTER ARM. I DO KNOW THAT THEY COME IN THE M.U.M. KIT, HOWEVER.

THE M.U.M. WEAPON MOUNT IS ADEQUATE, BUT REQUIRES THE REMOVAL OF THE REAR SIGHT. WHAT WE NEED IS A REAR SIGHT, EASILY REMOVABLE WITHOUT TOOLS, MAYBE WITH A THROW LEVER ... HEY, DON'T THOSE LARUE GUYS MAKE ONE OF THOSE? SO THAT'S WHY IT HAS A THROW LEVER ...

I FEEL CERTAIN THAT LARUE COULD DEVELOP A DEDICATED MOUNT FOR THE M.U.M. THAT WOULD ADAPT TO THEIR EOTECH MOUNT AND ONE DESIGNED TO WORK WITH THE AIMPOINT THAT WOULD MOUNT TO THE RECEIVER.

IF I am not mistaken the F6015P is 64, but is also more money than the 6015. The fact that I cannot use the LaRue Tactical PVS-14 mount kind of sours my interest in the Insight (personal pref.)...

I like everything about the NVG except the mount, that mount forces you ro remvoe your BUIS and don't work well with LaRue EOTech mount. I can't understand why they made the arm on that mount so freaking long.

Maybe someone will come out with something that will fit the new insight.

I need to save cash.  

THE F6015P WAS OFFERED COMMERCIALLY IN LIMITED NUMBERS BY I.T.T. YEARS AGO. IT IS THE ONLY OMNI-IV DEVICE I HAVE HAD A CHANCE TO GET MY HANDS ON. YES, IT HAS A MINIMUM TUBE RESOLUTION OF 64 LP/MM (USUALLY HIGHER) AND A MORE IMPORTANT S-N RATIO OF A MINIMUM OF 21:1. LIST WAS $4995 IN 2000. OMNI-V SPECS CALL FOR LOWER PERFORMANCE, 19:1, IIRC.

FLASH DOESN'T HURT THE NVD. NEITHER DOES TRACERS. NEITHER DOES TRACERS OR GREEN TIPS BOUNCING OFF STEEL WILDLY AT NIGHT. NOW YOU KNOW MY IDEA OF NEW YEAR'S EVE. I HAVEN'T TRIED TANNERITE AT NIGHT - YET.

THE INSIGHT TECH WEAPON MOUNT IS ADEQUATE, BUT SHORT OF IDEAL. HOWEVER, IT IS ALSO INCLUDED IN THE COST. I AM WAITING PATIENTLY FOR LARUE PVS-14 NVD MOUNTS TO ARRIVE. I HAVE ALREADY SOLD MY PERSONAL GG&G MOUNT IN ANTICIPATION. RECENTLY, I GOT IN AN ARMS #29 NIGHT VISION MOUNT, BUT IT DID NOT FIT OVER THE OBJECTIVE OF MY F6015P. A VERY NICE DESIGN, THOUGH. THE ARMS, THE INSIGHT TECHNOLOGY,THE GG&G, AND THE LARUE TACTICAL MOUNTS ALL ALLOW FOR THE ADAPTER ARM TO REMAIN INSTALLED ON THE PVS-14 WHEN THE NVD IS MOUNTED TO THE WEAPON.

WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT? YOU WANT FOR IT TO BE SIMPLE TO MOVE THE NVD FROM THE WEAPON TO YOUR HEAD/HELMET MOUNT. THE NVD BELONGS ON YOUR HEAD 99.9% OF THE TIME. IDEALLY, YOU SHOOT UTILIZING AN INFRARED LASER IN ALL BUT THE PRONE POSITION. YES, I REALIZE THESE ARE NOT READILY AVAILABLE.

KEEPING THE NVD ON THE WEAPON IN THE FIELD IS JUST PLAIN ASKING FOR TROUBLE, I.E., SAFETY ISSUES. OF COURSE, IT'S FINE ON A SQUARE RANGE. MOST OF US DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO AN I.R. LASER, SO THE ONLY ALTERNATIVE IS MOUNTING THE NVD ON THE WEAPON, AND BEING EXTREMELY CAREFUL NOT TO SUCCUMB TO THE TEMPTATION TO POINT THE WEAPON AT EVERYTHING YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE.

M.S.T.N. IS WORKING WITH A MAJOR PLAYER IN THE NIGHT VISION GAME ON A WEAPON-GRADE VISIBLE LASER WITH A RHEOSTAT. THE PURPOSE OF THE RHEOSTAT IS TO BE ABLE TO CRANK THE VISIBLE LASER DOWN TO THE POINT IT CAN ONLY BE SEEN EFFECTIVELY WITH NIGHT VISION, JUST LIKE THE DOT IN A NIGHT VISION-CAPABLE AIMPOINT OR EOTHING. SUCH A DEVICE WOULD BE IDEAL FOR CIVILIAN APPLICATION.
