r/DigitalNightVision

I know the renvb is analog.

But which one would yall use?

The biggest complaint of the renvb is the glass is pretty bad. But the GF-31 doesn’t have that problem. The digital NVG sensor also looks pretty good for DNVG’s. And the thermal makes up for the low light operation to.

But the RENVB does better with the NVG and worse with the thermal.

When I research and compare both. I see the RENVB being better at the NVG side and not as good on the thermal side. While the GF-31/20 doe s better at the thermal side.

Which one should I buy?

I am trying to decide between nvg and thermal. Looking to spend 700 or less. My dad does not hunt. I just picture him using it for fun to look in his backyard at night or if he hears a weird noise. His back yard is a golf course.

I’m looking at purchasing a night fox arctic thermal or a goodnight gear NVG50 but can’t decide which to get. I would be using them for milsims. Both would be helmet mounted. I would be using the NVG50 with no IR illuminator. Which do you recommend and why? How well does the NVG50 perform without an IR illuminator? How well would they both pair up for a thermal fusion setup? Thermal or nightvision and why?

Hi all.

I've recently found myself owning a GNG2K monocular however the standard included mount lacks a lot of adjustment that i'd like to have.

After a bit of Google work, i've found most people recommending getting a L4G24 clone mount however, these don't appear to account for it being a monocular so I will need a "J-arm". The one that I think will work i've found on everyones favourite site, Aliexpress, is this one: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005009943590600.html

Will this work with a L4G24 mount for the GNG2K? If not, please throw me some recommendations.

Ty in advance.

I've been testing the GNG-G18 digital quad pano NVG and put together a full breakdown covering field of view and real world performance. The short version: 120 degrees of FOV, 22 hour runtime, 1" solid state sensors, and it's ready to run right out of the box. Happy to answer any questions in the comments.

Alright guys, what do we think about these? I’ve been seeing posts about them lately and I was wondering if you guys could share your experiences. I’d just be using them for messing around with airsoft, I’ve seen the low light without ir is pretty impressive. Can you guys share some pics or videos maybe? Was gonna probably pick up a pair in the next month :p

Let me start by saying my previous night vision experience is with Gen 3 analog, so that is what I’m comparing it to even though I might now be trying to. First impressions are that it’s pretty good. Especially with latency and frame rate. Latency is noticeable when whipping your head around but running and shit is super manageable. Indoor low light performance is ass. Like really bad, I could see better with my eyes. Also I’m not using ir at all for any of my tests. Outdoor low light performance with ambient light is very good. Definitely not as good as analog (obviously) but it’s quite good for a $500 device. Stock mount is trash, I got the Z04 from gng and it fits perfectly and works well with a Wilcox. Fov is ok. I turned up the exposure by 0.6 in the terrible app and it’s a little brighter but if you’re using it in an urban environment it’s very annoying because every light is like a huge beacon. Anyways, overall I think it’s ok. Definitely not as good as even a low to mid spec gen 2 analog tube but it’s much better than no night vision when used outside with a decent amount of ambient lighting. I’d recommend it if you’re in Europe where itar shafts you, but if you’re in the US and have $500 for nods, I’d say save for an analog. Or, if you’re not using it for like MilSim or airsoft where other night vision owning people are hunting you, it’s great for hunting animals in conjunction with the ir light. Anyways, these are my honest opinions and overall I’m happy with it but it’s not even close to as good as my analog.

I'm going through to specs on both of these units.

The Prowl 2 is $250, the GNG2k is $500

GNG2k beats the prowl in is sensor resolution, but I can't find any information on the model of the sensor it uses, whereas the Prowl 2 uses the IMX662. YouTube footage is pretty close in performance from what I can tell. Does this make much difference on the eye when in use?

They have the the same screen size, refresh rate, and battery life.

The prowl 2 is smaller but weights 12 grams more.

Am I missing something here? Are these two units really this close in performance but vastly different in price?

These seem to be two of the bigger options I’m seeing in here (in the budget realm). What are the pros or cons to each? I can’t seem to find a direct comparison between the two. Personal experience with them?

How's everyone storing or displaying there nods and helmet at home? Wall mount, cases ect.

Send pic or links im interested

Does the Z04 mount arm work on the gng2k?
