Just recently snagged a brand new PVS-31a. These absolutely do not do the tubes justice. They really should call this new stuff Gen 4. It blows the PVS-14 I’ve had for several years out of the water.
The moon was no where near full. You can see my pet mini-black panther (aka death dealer to anything under 5lbs) out stalking around with me. She acts like “ok cool now I have a night stalking buddy”

Thanks for the pics, very interesting! Not that much footage through any PVS-31 out there. What is odd to my eye is the internal reflections - wonder why that wasn't eliminated from the completely new design eyepieces. That is something I hate the most about PVS-14 eyepieces. |

Those pics where just hastily shot with my iphone holding it by hand behind one of the tubes. When time allows can you describe what you are talking about? Thanks  In a mono that does not bother me at all, but with a bino I notice them a bit too much and get distracted especially if the reflections don't match. Helps a lot to bring the eye relief to such that you don't see the internals of the eyepieces, but I like to see the full image circle plus then I feel the eyepieces give a better image overall. |

Damn you all suck. I have been jonesing for NV for a while. And of course the LE/MIL only stuff looks amazing.

I took these awhile ago through my DSLR. Still trying to figure out how to get the best image but these came out rather well I thought. NV is a TNVC “commercial spec” from a few years ago. This unit has been awesome and looks just as good in low illum situations as regular units. Lighting was with pretty good moon.

Photonis echo in dtnvg and an omni 7 in a pvs14 taken with a note 8, I will say the ability to portray quality through a cell phone pic favors the green phosphor over the white.

You don't see the "dead" area of the phosphor screen at all, it just cuts out right where the, what I would guess is, plastic ring starts. Still wondering why that material produces so much glare, otherwise it's really nice looking. Would also seem the objective lenses and/or tubes are different as I can't see much if almost any vignetting (darker edges) in your pics even when boosted in photoshop. Keep em coming, this is such a rare treat. Perhaps almost illegal for me to watch "through" your nice unit ;-) PS. next step, please tear it down and show us the inside of the unit too. I am eager to know what the tube looks like - is it like the ANVIS-10 but just 18mm |

A few of my decent ones. MOD3-B filmless WP, manual gain. Taken by holding it up to a 10+ year old basic Canon digital camera. The kind of common thing everyone had before cell phones took over everyday photoing. Battery latch is broken, so I had a hell of a time trying to stay steady, line up the lenses, and keep the battery door closed all at the same time. Didn't get great star pics as it's just not dark enough anywhere near here. I was able to watch some of the recent meteor shower with it though, that was pretty damn cool. Eventually hope to be able to grab some photos/video of that with some manner of camera adapter.
