Here's a head start for the DIY crowd. Still need to 3D print the NOD eyepiece. FWIW, I'll happily pay $100 for another ANVRS.

Augee have you tried out the ANVRS? I haven't used the ANVRS, but I followed its "development" and marketing on the various facebook groups in the wake of the LPMR being developed and released. Didn't seem like a bad piece of DIY, but the ANVRS, as far as I've known has used low-cost COTS mini button cameras, whereas the LPMR, while being similar in form factor uses a camera optimized for NV use was what really made it stick out (you can tell if you ever get any non-NV footage on the LPMR, it's not a "normal" day camera) to get "truer" night vision footage than simply sticking an iPhone behind an NVD. The newer iterations of the ANVRS look like they've continued to refine the form factor of the product from the electrical tape exposed wire/delicate ribbon, but I have not heard anything about them upgrading the camera much if at all. But again, I haven't personally used one yet, either, so I'm basing my opinions solely on what I've seen/heard of the device. ~Augee |

Now that think about this. This device just looks like a raspberry pi with a spy camera attachment. Im 100% sure all you need to do is pop open the box and take the sd card that's in there that's contains the software and config it to not show the timestamp.

I’m glad I saw this topic, I’m about to try and build one, maybe a little better one. 3D print time!
I see there are some 4K ones of those cameras, I wonder if they are actually 4K. For those who had used the unobtainable what features would you add? Camera wise and mount wise? I’m thinking a zip tie channel on the ring to secure it better? |

Quote HistoryQuoted:For those who had used the unobtainable what features would you add? Camera wise and mount wise? I’m thinking a zip tie channel on the ring to secure it better? I would put a better camera in it. "Better" in this case means (to me at least) higher dynamic range, increased noise reduction, higher FPS, more accurate color rendition, and an output file that isn't AVI. Resolution-wise, I see no need for improvement. 1080p is perfectly acceptable, and 4K will fill up a memory card way too quickly. We need a camera with a better sensor. Augee seems to know a lot about these. He said the BCO LPMR has a better camera. I'd pay another $100 on top of the original ANVRS price for a better camera and MP4 output files. I'm not paying $400 unless it's fucking amazing and has a great warranty. |

Don't know if 4k is possible. I haven't seen any 4k spy cameras and i'm not sure the smaller raspberry pi have enough power to encode in 4k.
But if they do create a 4k spy camera that would be the first step. The only cameras ive seen are 1080p and some have some kind of IR capability but i'm not exactly sure how that would translate for taking video via NODs. |

Do any kind of lights come on when this is switched on? I have a fully charged external battery and an SD card inserted and nothing happens when I flip the switch to on
Am I missing something? |

I came home from a night of gooning a while back, and, as it turns out, every time I thought I was recording, I was NOT recording, and vice versa. Efffffff.
My solution was to dab a mound of superglue on the housing. This tactile feedback remind me to always move the switch TOWARDS the bump to record.

I used mine this weekend for about 7 hours. Overall it was reasonable, but it was still falling off the eyepiece pretty consistently. At the 6 o'clock position where the video is captured right side up, it seated downward so that what I was looking at directly was in the very top of the video field of view. That was pretty annoying tbh. If I tried to angle it the ANVRS lens would fall off pretty easy even with the rubber eyepiece ring. It doesn't like when binos are flipped up and down, there still isn't enough tension to keep it securely mounted. That sucks, because I flip my binos close to a hundred times a night, sometimes more
I'm going to try to velcro the inside ring of the ANVRS clamp and the rubber ring. That may be enough to make this work but I'm not optimistic. Next step will be to try to the FPRS ring that Wil suggested (eta: assuming I can find one, they look to be defunct now) Also, 6 hours of video fit on the 32gb SD card and was cut up into 5 minute blocks. Video quality wasn't great due to the lighting conditions over the weekend, but the audio actually seems better than the LPMR. I'm headed out of the country tomorrow but will upload the videos when I get back Biggest plus for me is that the camera lens and the body are separate components. It makes a huge difference being able to velcro the ANVRS body to my helmet, it's way more flexible than the LPMR |

I really have ZERO issues with the camera moving around. It stays exactly where I leave it after a whole night of hunting, and many ups and downs of my -14. I wonder why we're having such different experiences.
Agreed on what it captures—I do wish the FOV was more centered. Here's a CMR-201 IR laser and Fenix TK25 850nm illum in a field.

Quote HistoryQuoted:
It won't stay put on the PVS14 eye ring, there just isn't enough tension on it and there is no clamping mechanism to increase tension. I tried shimming with electrical tape and considered using glue, but it won't stay seated properly. On the BNVD-ULs it can't mount at the 12 o'clock position because the body of the LPMR hits the BNVD-UL, and at the 6 it either runs into my nose or pops off with the slightest touch. Same for the PVS14, it won't stay seated and basically spins freely. I don't know if I have a bad one or what but it's really pissed me off. Unusable is putting it mildly Quote HistoryQuoted:

How are you guys editing/uploading/converting the video? I can watch my first two test videos on my PC and everything looks/sounds perfect, but when I upload to YouTube it says the files are not supported and the upload fails. Says they are .Avi on the PC. I just formatted the SD card and I'm gonna try again tonight.

@Will1 reach out to that dude and see if he will ship you one, or tell you what to order (if he tells you, pls pass along). I'd say there's a good chance he's either a member here or is otherwise watching the thread.

I saw on Instagram that someone was coming out with another system that has a longer ribbon that can be worn on the back of the helmet, or one with a goggles mounted ribbon. However, now I can't find it or remember the name of the company. It wasn't the ANVRS, do any of you know?
