@@scoobarsteve7948 Can't speak for OC, but as a guy who has used a monocular extensively and moved to dual tubes; yes, with time, you can get very proficient with a monocular but there were still many occasions where I would be looking just a few feet in front of me and not able to tell if I'm looking at a one foot drop off or a six foot cliff. This is where dual tubes shine. The difference in depth perception makes a world of difference and I've found I can move much quicker over rougher terrain with confidence using binos.

Quality content... Subed...!

Very informative video! That housing would be very interesting with Photonis tubes.

This is so exciting

So I’ve been looking for another set of Binos to either replace or use them alongside my 1431s. I have elbit wp xlsh tubes that are well matched, decent specs like 28 snr, 2000 fom, .9 ebi, and 1.0 halo. Being that they are pretty high specs for xlsh tubes, they each have 2-3 small blems. Likely the reason they got knocked down to xlsh’s. Even with decent specs, I feel like they leave some performance to be desired. I’ve used them in the darkest of nights in thick woods and even been in a subterranean environment where pretty much all types of I2 nvgs will struggle or just be ineffective to the point you need to either use your peq the entire time, or switch to thermal. I’ve got about 8 ish years experience using different types of monoculars, Binos, and thermals. I think the specs of these jerry 31s will leave a lot to be desired for people who intend to use their NVGs professionally. You usually don’t have the luxury of utilizing a supplementary light source. With the low specs, and lack of auto-gating, poor lowlight performance I think they are not a good choice for the population of people who are looking for binos for professional or duty use. Obviously you have to find a good balance of cost and performance that will suit your needs. I definitely see a ton of applications where users of these binos will be more than satisfied with the performance and their ownership experience will be superb. It’s still very exciting that companies are making nvgs more and more affordable, particularly WP, articulating duals because that’s what all the cool kids want. Thank you for the great comparison video and all the information!

It’s sometimes SO difficult to compare the quality of tubes through KZread videos. This video does a pretty well job doing that, so thank you for that. Now I just need to decide if I want to sell my high spec Echo PVS-14 and grab these or just wait for another matching PVS-14 to bridge.

wau thx a lot for this content. Very informative and not only regarding Jerry 31 Binoculars but also about tubes and their features. Auto-gate vs BSP is kind of info you can't get anywhere else. I'm currently interested into buying NNVT equipped pvs14 and I'm very thankful for every bit of details you provide to us. If I got it right, BSP helps to protect tubes in a different way than auto-gating with impact on resolution. Is there any advantage compare to auto-gating ?

@coldharboursupply

5 ай бұрын

BSP lowers the voltage of the Photocathode, whereas Autogating pulses the power supply. In a very layman's terms, autogating preserves more resolution than BSP and is used on a lot of modern nods. All modern tubes will have BSP, not all will have autogating, Photonis tubes and NNVTs-AG will have both AG and BSP whereas the NNVTs that are not autogated will have BSP. The autogated tubes will use a combo of BSP and Autogating to protect the tube versus only BSP for the NNVT-4s. BSP alone protects the tube plenty with a higher impact to resolution than the BSP/AG combos of the other 2 types of tube. The main disadvantage to BSP is the dropping of resolution. However, in some cases this is less visually distracting because the tube does not have to pulse as can been seen in our flaring test, this depends on the frequency and intensity of the lights you are exposing the tubes to. NNVT's are also known for their impressive BSP. I would not base my tube selection on this feature alone. Hope that helps.

What would you sell it for? I'm looking to buy one.

Here in the uk, nvgs are way more expensive than in the US. But these are decently affordable, I've just seen them for £3100 ($3900!), or the monotube version is £2100. I've currently got a gen 1 pulsar, that is basically useless without a ir torch. With the torch, I can see out to 300m plus relatively clearly. The other gen 2 devices I've seen was a monotube with FOM ranging from 800-1200 for £1700. Or another gen 2 monotube with FOM at 1250-1600 for £3000+. A gen 3 monotube seems to be minimum £4k-£5k So trying to decide what gen 2 to get as that's probably about as much as i can afford for the time being. The monotube version of these is very tempting, but then if I bought the dual it's almost like getting the second tube half price😅.

The ocular lens of the Jerry should not be used with WP. It is obviously meant for GP which has a mainly monochromatic spectrum which will avoid chromatic aberration. The WP result looks like a deal breaker.

@Ranstone

5 ай бұрын

White phosphorous is monochrome. Also, the lens has nothing to do with the color output of the image intensifier. You're staring at a sheet of phosphorous, with no practical, optical connection to the front lens. Essentially inverted shadow-puppets. The color of the wall you cast shadow-puppets on has nothing to do with chromatic aberration. If there's artifacts from the lens, it will show up long before any phosphorous picks it up and converts it to monochrome. My only experience is issued PVS-14s, so If this is a different technology, or I'm missing something, let me know. I just think you might be confused.

But at the same time the Jerry 31's can be purchased as well as a C5 Clip On Thermal Imager for about $8k. That's very cheap for duals that have a thermal overlay, only catch is the tubes are 90's tech and lack anywhere from 500-800 FOM compared to Gen 3. That's also not even considering the increased clarity with Gen 3.
