This video from Forgotten Weapons, featuring an expert instructor, explains the technical reasons behind the green color of night vision devices. It details how phosphor screen technology and the human eye's perception of the visual spectrum lead to green being the standard. The expert also debunks the myth of red goggles in Vietnam seeing 'demons', clarifying that color filters do not alter the perceived image content.

This video provides an expert-level guide to evaluating night vision devices, specifically the PVS-14. The instructor, with evident experience, emphasizes the importance of a minimum 1800 FOM for true night vision performance, contrasting it with digital alternatives. The guide details how to assess image clarity, performance in various low-light scenarios, and the practical application of such devices.

This video from Polenar Tactical demonstrates the use of AGM night vision devices, specifically the PVS-14 NW1, in a live-fire scenario at an indoor range. The instructor highlights the competitive pricing of entry-level Gen 2 devices and the availability of high-end Gen 3 binoculars, emphasizing AGM's European base for service advantages.

This guide details the installation and basic use of the FalconClaw FC-PVS14 night vision monocular. It covers attaching the dovetail J-arm and mounting the unit to a helmet. The video emphasizes the importance of a minimum 1800 FOM for monocular performance and discusses battery life and IR illuminator usage. Instruction comes from a source with high authority on tactical gear.

This guide covers the basic setup and initial use of the RIX RNV-31 dual-tube night vision goggles. It details battery installation, mounting, adjustment, and considerations for Gen 2+ performance. The information is presented from the perspective of a seasoned tactical gear reviewer, emphasizing value for money.

This video provides an in-depth review of the AGM PVS-7 night vision goggles, detailing their history, technical specifications, and practical application in shooting scenarios. The presenter, an experienced firearms instructor, highlights the PVS-7's suitability for retro builds and its advantages for dual-eye viewing compared to monocular systems like the PVS-14. The review also touches upon its performance in low-light shooting and compares it to other night vision devices and lasers.

This video details a monthly Patreon giveaway from 4MR Ranch, featuring a high-end night vision package. The primary giveaway includes a new NVD Devices PVS-14 with 2144 FOM and white phosphor, a Team Wendy bump helmet with a Wilcox G24 mount, and Noise Fighters accessories. An alternative, lower-value prize is also offered, with the giveaway structure designed to thank channel supporters.

This review of the Steele Industries WP Thin Film Elbit tube PVS-14 provides a comprehensive breakdown of its performance and specifications. The instructor emphasizes that while high-end options exist, this Elbit tube offers a solid balance of performance and value, making it a suitable choice for both new and experienced users. Key performance metrics like Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) and Halo are discussed as crucial indicators of image quality in various lighting conditions.

This video advocates starting personal night vision with white phosphor technology due to its easier integration with lasers, red dots, and passive shooting capabilities. The instructor suggests that mastering navigation and target acquisition with white phosphor first creates a solid foundation before introducing more complex thermal optics. This approach simplifies the learning curve for operating in low-light environments.

This video discusses the ease of adjusting one's eyes between different night vision technologies and ambient light conditions. The speaker notes that transitioning back to natural darkness after using white phosphor night vision is significantly easier than after using thermal imagers, due to less eye strain from light adjustment. This is particularly relevant when moving between areas with high light pollution and complete darkness.

This video discusses the impact of prolonged use of different night vision technologies on eye strain. The speaker notes that white phosphor night vision causes significantly less eye strain compared to thermal imaging (both white hot and black hot) during extended observation periods. This difference can affect attentiveness and job performance.
