Reviews & Ratings for Armasight MNVD-51, 1x19 mm Bravo Gen 3 IIT, Multi-Purpose Night Vision Monocular, 51 Degree FOV — 5 reviews — Page 1

First. Its a good unit. I was nervous. But its a great deal. I was initially going to give this unit to my son, but I like it enough that I bridged it with my PVS-14 to make a binocular rig instead.
I have a Photonis Gen 2 GT-14, and a gen 3 L3 unfilmed aviation grade PVS-14, in addition to this Bravo MNVD-51. So a low end and a high end in addition to this one. This Bravo unit outperforms standard gen 2 in light gathering, resolution was good. Both of my existing units are 64 res and 72 res. This bravo unit was equal in clarity at 64 res. In terms of performance, the light gathering capability was on par with my higher end unit, and stomped the Gen 2 under extremely difficult conditions (rural deep woods under heavy canopy on a night with no moon and heavy cloud cover and light rain). Under extremely difficult conditions the lower FOM on this unit -- being a Bravo unit the SNR was lower than pinnacle units -- I had to manually adjust the gain down to darken the image (still usable though!!) in order to reduce the distracting noise (particles swimming in your view effect). The Gen 2 suffered similar SNR under extremely dark circumstances, but the bravo unit has manual gain so I could adjust it to reduce the nosie. Big benefit. With the gain cranked, there was a good amount of noise under extremely dark conditions. With gain adjusted down, the noise cleared up as the image darkened somewhat. I was still able to see out a couple hundred yards whereas with out NVG it was dead...

I am very happy with my recent purchase. I was hesitant to go with the cheaper version in this case the bravo over the pinnacle but overall I am very happy with my purchase and I really hope our site takes a consideration and to keeping these around rumor has it they are going to discontinue the bravo But overall I don’t regret it and I think it is well worth the money. It is a very easy selling point for someone getting into it. I just really hope that they don’t end up discontinuing the idea of this tube. It’s by no means 100% but it is definitely at least 90%. I highly recommend going through optic. Explain it. They have great customer service very easy to get a hold of somebody very easy to work with super fast on the shipping easy to get paperwork done with highly recommend these guys and I highly recommend our side as well. They are a great company. Very easy to talk to somebody. If you’re curious on something don’t hesitate to call our site. They will give you the inside scoop on everything that they have those guys are the most helpful, most honest and most reasonable. I can’t overall say enough good things about the guys at our site. They help out a tremendous amount and educating me on what I was getting into. The reason I did not give it a five star as if they were to make this product better. I would have no room to give a better review.

worked way better than expected. Clear picture and easy to use

This is a perfect companion for driving and scanning for coyotes, etc. Lightweight, bright and clear. Also pretty durable because my kids have been abusing it and its been perfect. I wish yall still made the weapon mount for it.
