Hector Echevarria from United States, VA Public Profile

I admit I know very little about Night Vision goggles beyond the ones I use in Arma 2 and 3, so this is my first real life set. At first I was hesitant to buy after seeing AGM's advertisement for their NVG products. Based on their videos they seem to suggest they can only be used during the daytime. This is false. I tried them during night time and they worked amazingly well.
Also, I was worried that the 850 nm IR illuminator would be bright enough to give my position since at that frequency it is visible to the human eye, but that wasn't the case either. Although the IR light gives you the ability to see in total darkness, it's very tiny so I'm not worried at all.
The FOV is not too bad. With proper adjustment, I see no problem using these to drive a motor vehicle in total darkness.
Also, I know they're the cheapest real NVG's I could find, just holding them in your hand you can tell they're well built.
Finally, I just became aware of the ratings they get for blemishes... I think. These are NL3 (noise level 3?). The imperfections I did see in the display didn't bother me at all, and I'm one of those who used to throw away a large screen TV if a single pixel in it died.
