Just received my UL BNVD's from JRH Enterprises and man are these things slick. I'm coming from dual 14's so this unit was night and day difference on the weight. Went with L3 WP tubes. FOM on the tubes are 2606 and 2628. Would like to really thank Robert Henry for answering all my questions and the quick communication. Couldn't be happier. Pic heavy.

Awesome setup. JRH Enterprise is definitely one of the best places to buy from, great service, excellent products and some of the lowest prices I've seen.

Wow, didn’t realize the ULs were that light. That’s almost the same weight as Anvis 9s. Robert is top notch ??
Awesome FOM #s and pics! If you’re going to go from duals to binos that’s one hell of a way to do it especially with a 10.8oz savings, lol |

Hey, is that the old Jungle Stalker cammo? I used to have a whole bunch of that stuff. Even LBE/PALS pouches. Still have some of the pouches I think. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Do either of you guys have any pictures of the cable for the battery pack (where it plugs into the goggle) and the battery pack it's self.

My battery pack is at the extreme 6 oclock of the helmet and is as low (and far away from the front) as it can go. The cable has enough length to go over the top and let the G22e articulate smoothly without binding the BNVDs, but just barely because of how low mine is. If you moved it a couple inches higher you'd likely never have to worry about the cable binding the binos when they flip. The height on mine is deliberate, it's acting as a 3 battery counterweight and is working nicely for me

I weighed both my regular BNVD's which come in pretty good for weight already, against my Ultralight BNVD's
Regular BNVD Single Gain setup. 
Ultralight BNVD Single gain setup. Fairly substantial weight difference. |

10-4.
IIRC, the lithium AA’s are only .5oz or 14.18 grams. Those UL’s are light AF! I think the only things lighter are Anvis 6/9 and -31’s. The UL fits the void perfect. Anvis = nowhere as tough and -31’s = too boocoo $$ |

Sorry to necropost a little bit, but these photos are beautiful.
Can you compare the UL to the standard PVS-14 optics? I know you don't have a direct comparison of the BNVD-SG and BNVD-SG-UL, but I have been eyeballing the BNVD-SG for quite a while now and saving up. The Ultra Light version is only 3 oz lighter, but costs $700 more. Is there any other benefit to the UL other than the small weight difference? And does anyone know if the lightweight lenses are any less durable than the traditional lenses? It looks like they both accept PVS-14 lens accessories which is great. |

I'll post some through the tube pics of a WP BNVD and a WP UL BNVD, however tube specs aren't the same for both units as every tube is slightly different.

Is durability affected? With such an expensive item if the durability isn't there a slight increase in image quality isn't worth it in my opinion. If the durability is the same, image quality is improved, they both accept the same lens accessories, and the weight is lower it is worth saving a little more.

I'm digging my ULs but I never felt like the regular BNVDs didn't do the job either. |

I heard somewhere that the tubes are soldered in place. Any truth to this ?

I own BNVD SG UL's as well as DTNVG's and Anvis 9's. I think the ultralights are about the best nods on the market. I'd take them over 31's personally. I'm not a fan of the fixed diopters on the 31's.

The location of the port for the auxiliary battery pack also doesn't limit articulation like 31s. Plus 10 year warranty from NVD for consumer sales and lower cost. I don't understand why they aren't more popular. I've just been trying to decide between the standard or UL version while I save up. |
