PVS14 Night Vision Monocular
The PVS14 is the workhorse of monocular night vision solutions, and is especially useful for lightweight applications or for those just starting out in the world of high end night vision. The PVS14 is robust, powered by a single AA battery, and features adjustable gain (requires a gain-controllable tube). A single PVS14 requires a mounting interface to connect to common helmet mounts, often referred to as a J-arm (included). PVS14’s can also be combined to form dual tube goggles with optional accessories known as a bridge mount.
The AN/PVS-14 is the most widely utilized night vision device in the world, and remains a primary component of America’s military night vision capabilities in the field. The design has aged incredibly well, as it is cost effective, light weight, robust, and provides a host for high quality generation 3 11769 gain controllable image tubes. The PVS14 is the workhorse of the night vision world even in 2020, and it isn’t going anywhere any time soon. If you’re new to night vision, this should be near the top of your list for consideration.
Perhaps the best part about the PVS14 is that it provides a scalable solution for those wanting to go to dual tube night vision in the future, but only if paired with a high quality bridge system.
The classic milspec upper housing, while exceptionally serviceable on its own, can be replaced with multiple aftermarket housing options with additional features and further increased ruggedness.
