What are my options?
I bought the TELE VUE TNVC FONEMATE NIGHT VISION SMART PHONE ADAPTER SYSTEM but all I get are blurry pics. It's hard for me to see through the phone. Does anyone make a lens adapter for a Nikon DSLR? What else is out there? |

It's hard for me to see through the phone. Does anyone make a lens adapter for a Nikon DSLR? What else is out there? Yes. Buy the Mod Armory 46mm Adapter plus a step up/down kit for DSLR lenses. The adapter attaches to the rear of the PVS14, then threads into the step up/down adapters, which screw into the filter threads of your DSLR's lens. I use a 35mm lens for my Canon. Here is a PVS 14 attached to a Canon DSLR recording a USPSA Classifier shot at night.  NVG Example |

Or, do I need to buy multiples to match? Thanks for the help.

@jimmyheadgear
I tried to make the DSLR lens adapter work, but the image quality was very lacking, but it may have been the lens I tried using. I have had great success with the Tele-Vue on my Samsung S8. What issue are you having with yours? Edit to add: I just saw Ryan's video above, and his quality is way better than what I was getting. I was using a 50mm (I think) on a D7500. I'll dig the lens out of my gear to verify. |

Basic auto focus on the phone should be gtg.
You will always have to focus the NOD. Constantly & continuously. Whether you are using it with your phone, or on a helmet. Have you focused the eye piece & the objective yet? I was trying to post some sample images, but I can't get my server links to work. I'll try it another way. Aha! Success!  Attached FileThis one was under exceptional lighting conditions.  Attached FileThis one from a really dark night. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By jimmyheadgear: I get blurry pics with the Tele-Vue. Not sure if I need to change the focus on the PVS or the phone. |

I'd be happy with the quality of your pics if I can get that. |
