    Finally, some reviews! How exciting, great video. I've purchased mine from Steele and I'm very excited for them to finally ship. For my own uses, these fit the bill 100%. I could never justify duals due to it only adding depth perception. I don't hike or live in extremely mountainous terrain, so a 14 worked for me just fine. But the minute I saw these, I had to have it. The added FOV + PVS-7 style IR light (with a focusing lens) will be a great combination while cruising around in the Polaris.

    @@redeyepilot21 Yessir, 100% worth it. I liked my friend’s DTNVS’s but as I said in my original comment - I could never justify the cost to only gain some added depth perception. I get the value of depth but never found myself tripping/stumbling with just a PVS-14. But I’ve had years with a 14 so it’s likely my brain adapted to it. But yeah! RPNVG’s are absolutely incredible. I love shooting in the wide FOV mode, driving in WFOV and running around in that configuration. The only time I do run them with no WFOV is when I’m looking at stars or if I’m driving really bump/hilly terrain and wanted that little bit of depth perception.

    i cruise around in my polaris UTV with the lights off and a UV filter on the gauge at night all the time with a PVS-14, i used a set of 14-31's and those are a game changer when driving but lack the ideal FOV still. i ordered a set of these to do the same thing haha. driving around dirt roads at night isnt as fun when you cant see whats along the road side.

    Yeah, you can buy a pair of battery packs for $500 that allows you to convert this into two monoculars that take PVS-14 screw mounts. Works great.

    Since they don't articulate - are there alternate means to move the pods out of the way? For example, can you slide one of the pods to the side to see unaided (sort of like swinging one of the articulating NVs pods up)?

    @@armon8399 I got L3 18UM for $8.5k. I got a bit of a deal though. If you can find with elbit tubes with decent specs, I think that's reasonable. In my experience, the main difference between elbit and L3 is that the L3 has less noise, so it's sharper in super dim conditions. Not sure why the SNR rating doesn't seem to capture this.
