The pvs-14 alpha gen 3 is everything i hoped it would be. - Armasight PVS-14 Bravo Gen 3 IIT, Multi-Purpose Night Vision Monocular

I'm an avid backpacker,hiker and camper. This was one of my best purchases. The staff at Optics Planet were very helpful with both product information and the purchase. Before you purchase online contact them. You won't regret it.

The PVS-14 Gen3 Alpha was delivered within three days of purchase even though the shipment was postponed one day to complete the Federal ITAR form. (Simply, who's going to use it, how will it be used and where will it be used).

I've already used it under multiple circumstances. On the trail with starlight and moonlight, a park with little ambient light and in a building with no ambient light. Under starlight and moonlight, you can see everything very clearly (under bushes, in trees, and in a variety of rough terrain). I used it in a park under cloudy night conditions with little ambient light. I couldn't see anything without the PVS-14 (except the faint outline of a couple of trees). Using the PVS-14 let me see everything pretty clearly, with a slight grainy picture due to the lack of light). I flipped on the IR and everything became crystal clear. I could easily recognize objects more than 100 meters from my observation position. In the building with no ambient light, I got a grainy, green, blank picture. When I flipped on the IR, I could see everything very clearly. I could easily walk around equipment and step over obstacles in complete darkness with no problem.

This purchase was everything that I had hoped it would be.
