Looking to get into night observation devices
It’s a rabbit hole.
Anyone willing to let me look through a set and ask a lot of questions?

This is who you want to talk to. He gives straightforward understandable advice, and his service is top notch. He will flatten out your learning curve like nobody else. His prices can’t be beat either.
Watching all the other NV vendors fight and back stab each other almost put me off buying NV. I wasn’t about to drop $10K with companies that acted like teenagers in public. If it wasn’t for nocturnality I would never have bought NV.

10 cent per look!
nocturnalitygear is a great vendor but is 2-3K more than JRH but with slightly better spec's and sometime less lead times.

Appreciate the link! His name came up in another convo. I’ll have to give him a call.
Is this guy local? I don’t have the gram. I’m

JRH has what I want in stock. I’m leaning towards them. Or buying a lot of ammo.

He pushes people to Photonis tubes. We call them poortonis because they are not that good. I have compared Elbit, L3 and Photonis side by side and own Elbit and L3 tubed gear.

And he talks up Photonis tubes. Probably a higher profit margin for him.

Actually he talked me into Elbit tubes and never brought up Photonis.
On his page he does side by side comparisons.

Nothing wrong with Photonis tubes. They are perfect for the causal or new user.

NVGdude on here is in the business of building these things. While he may not have any on hand to let you sample, he can talk intelligently about them. But I haven't seen him on here in quite some time. Perhaps if he is monitoring he might have something to say?

What part of town are you in? We have a bunch of buddies that go out on night hikes and shoots.
Photonis isn’t terrible but there’s definitely a dramatic difference in all lighting differences.
I have elbit gen 3 WP and highly recommend them for the money. I have compared them to my buddies L3 filmless and I’d say they are 5% better but are also $3k more.
