Hand select green phospor - TRYBE Optics GEN 3 PVS-14 Night Vision Monocular

Chose the hand-select Green Phosphor option to hopefully get the best unit available in this Gen3 night vision entry level category.

Selected Trybe because their NV PVS-14 was readily available in the current market. Understand that the PVS14 housing amongst the manufacturers are all the same. The image intensifier tube is also common between the manufacturers. The main difference in my opinion is the warranty. So at the end of the day they are all the same as long as you know the specs of the tube beforehand!

For the hand-select green phosphor, I received a tube rated 1820 FOM. It has one medium sized blemish in zone 1 which is tolerable and unnoticeable when in actual use in the field. Halo was at .9 ! Also checked the tube and confirmed it is ELBIT F9815XLSH manufactured 2018.

The included head crusher, filters and strap are cheap. I purchased a Pelican dry box to store it over the flimsy soft case it comes in!
Overall happy with the purchase! Just wished I could rationalize spending another $1000 for white-phosphor!
