Rugged and worth the price - AGM Global Vision PVS-7 1x27mm Night Vision Goggles

I got the NW3, white phosphorus version. Summary: Inexpensive, robust, and effective nods. Not far off from higher end nods. I got these to use during MilSim West, an airsoft military simulation event. These nods work extremely well and are unbeatable in price. Running with a full 300g counterweight on my helmet I had no discomfort on its weight. (These were worn for several hours, up to 6 hours at a time). A friend had rented brand new L3 Harris white phosphorus dual tube nods and we compared them. The Harris was sharper on its image, but was not all that different. I used these at the Victorville event at MilSim. It is an abandoned Air Force base housing that is falling completely apart. The area is very hostile and dense with debris and trip/fall hazards. I did not have any issues with depth perception and kept up (sometimes faster) than other nod users navigating the debris. I also had a really easy time reading or working on things up close. It’s very quick and easy to change your focus distance. While other users had to lift their nods and pull out a red light, I changed my distance, could clearly see what I was doing, and then changed it back out to distance afterwards. They are also rugged. I fell on them on accident and it had not damaged the nod. However, I was going out on a ruck, and the sling of my rifle had caught on the nods, I pulled instead of lifting it off, and it popped off an eyepiece retaining ring on my left eyepiece. This is probably the weakest part of these nods, and I fault myself for this failure. The customer service of AGM is awesome and they are working on getting me a replacement ring. I cannot recommend these enough, especially if you are renting or getting your start in nods. I know at least 4 people who plan on buying these nods after experiencing them at this event. These are people who have been renting the best nods on the market for use at these events for years.
