From Night Vision Guys about NVD MICRO compact night vision monocular

As with most other products, the indicator of product quality is how long of a warranty the manufacturer is willing to offer.  These days even cars and kitchen appliances rarely have warranty longer than 3 years.  So a 10 year warranty on this night vision device surely speaks volumes about the quality of the components and workmanship.  

Night Vision Depot MICRO is a PVS14 type of monocular.  It offer a super compact design and yet supports connectivity to the AN/PVS14 standard accessories by means of an adapter.  This means that you can use this monocular with all the helmet and head mounting gear designed for PVS14 as well as weapon and tripod mounting setups.  

In combination with a wide range of Gen 3 Pinnacle and non gated Exelis tubes all of which come with a datasheet this monocular is a power house night vision device in a MICRO body. 

Bottom line is that if you are in the market for a night vision monocular and adding magnification lenses is not important for you, then NVD MICRO is a strong contender for your money.  If you do need magnification capabilities, then either opt for one of the PVS14 models or look at another manufacturer like Armasight or ATN who make their own variations of the PVS14 style night vision monoculars.

This particular model of NVD MICRO is NVD-MICRO-WHP.  It offers a new generation of night vision tubes with Pinnacle White Phosphor output.  Minimum parameters of this tube are:

Night Vision Depot Products are available with Gen 3 White Phosphor Image Intensifiers manufactured by ITT Exelis. Traditional image intensifier tubes use a P-43 phosphor screen output, resulting in the yellow-green that has become the signature view through most Gen 3 night vision systems.  White Phosphor tubes use a P-45 phosphor screen, which yields an alternate coloration closer to black and white imagery. This change in color has been reported to enhance overall object recognition while providing contrast sensitivity equivalent to or better than traditional green phosphor image tubes. These White Phosphor tubes are available for system upgrades and can be Hand-Select for higher performance. The White Phosphor NVD systems come with a TEN year warranty.

From Night Vision Depot about NVD-MICRO series of night vision monoculars

The NVD MICRO Monocular is an ultra small, American Made, Generation III image intensified night vision device that truly brings the term “Pocketscope” into definition. Yet the MICRO is much more than just a pocketscope - it can also be head or helmet mounted, weapon mounted, or mounted to a camera.

The MICRO’s small profile truly means that it will fit into a pocket for the ultimate night surveillance device, and its easily interchangeable CCTV objective lens means that when conditions warrant, a higher magnification objective can be used for longer range observation. The MICRO camera adapter (optional) also allows it to quickly and easily be attached to a camcorder or digital camera for recording night time pictures and videos.

The MICRO’s ability to be attached to the standard AN/PVS-14 head and helmet mounts via the optional adapter, allows the MICRO to utilize all standard AN/PVS-14 and AN/PVS-7B head and helmet mounts, which is great for hands free night time navigation.

The MICRO can also be utilized with the optional AN/PVS-14 Weapon Mount as a night vision weapon sight when used behind collimated reflex type sights such as the ACOG, Aimpoint, or EO Tech sights.

The NVD MICRO is built using the highest quality Commercial, MIL GRADE or MIL SPEC ITT/Exelis GEN III Pinnacle Auto Gated image intensifier tubes and comes with a TEN YEAR WARRANTY!
