The LLI Aeturnus offers a budget-friendly, 3D-printed alternative to traditional aluminum RNVGs, starting at $750 for the housing. It utilizes MX10160 intensifier tubes and standard PVS-14 optics but lacks manual gain and an onboard IR illuminator. While lighter and potentially durable, its fixed-pod design presents stowage challenges and limits the ability to flip up individual pods, making articulating housings generally preferable for most users.

The AGM NVG-40 is an affordable binocular night vision option but comes with significant drawbacks. It is heavier than comparable models and suffers from optical issues like excessive focus throw and notable lens flare ('hooping'). While it uses surplus Omni IV tubes, the non-milspec glass and smaller eyepieces compromise the field of view and user experience, making it difficult to recommend over a PVS-14 monocular for most users.

This video provides a first look at three pieces of gear: the SureFire XVL2-IRC light and laser, the Panobridge by Noisefighters for binocular night vision with panning capability, and the Vertx Gamut Overland Pack designed for concealed carry of compact carbines or sub-guns. The XVL2 offers white light, a visible green laser, and IR illuminator/laser. The Panobridge enhances night vision with a wider field of view. The Gamut pack functions as an EDC backpack capable of discreetly storing firearms and other gear. The creator intends to provide full reviews later.
