From Night Vision Depot about PVS14 Universal Night Vision Monocular
The PVS-14 is the all around best multi functional night vision monocular available. Head or helmet mounted, the PVS-14 allows the user to retain their night adapted vision in one eye while viewing their surroundings through the illuminated eyepiece of the PVS-14. The new battery housing completes the perfect package by allowing the user to power off the unit when in an upright position and power on when flipped down.
Another strength is its ability to be weapon mounted behind most collimated daylight aimers and Reflex sights such as the ACOG, Aimpoint and EO Tech systems. This allows the user the ability to use their PVS-14 both as a night vision monocular for increased mobility and tactical awareness and as a short range weapon sight.
Gain control gives the user the ability to increase or decrease the tube gain. Under extremely dark conditions, gain control allows the user to adjust the gain upward, giving a better image. Under high light conditions, details can be washed out due to an excess of light. Lowering the system gain can allow those details to be better seen. Additional features of the PVS-14 include an infrared LED with LED indicator and a low battery indicator.
All NVD PVS-14s are built with Exelis GEN III Pinnacle Auto Gated image intensifier tubes, and is available with Commercial, MIL GRADE or MIL SPEC tubes.
This system complies with MIL-PRF-49324(CR), MIL-PRF-49427(CR) and MIL-STD-810G.

money well spent
"The NVD Special Forces kit is great! It included everything you could possibly want to run your night vision in one easy to carry package. Steve B. was very helpful in making my decision on the tube grade that would be best for my activities. I read numerous times with night vision you can pay once and get something great or you can buy now and upgrade later. The 10 YEAR warranty on this unit was a huge seller for me. Steve was very helpful in the making of this purchase and held my hand a bit while I decided what I wanted. Advice well taken and money well spent. I look forward to working with Night Vision Guys in the future I know I will be sending people your way. Thank you "
