Night Vision Filters, Lenses, and Caps I've Tried - Plus a DIY Tarsier Eclipse
Спорт
I've been in the NV world for a while now and I've cycled through a lot of different filters, lenses, scope caps, lens caps, and sacrificial lenses. In this video I talk about all of the stuff I've tried and what I'm currently using. I also make a DIY Chinese version of the Matbock Tarsier Eclipse for nearly a quarter of the price of the actual device. Here's the links to the iris and sacrificial lens that I used in the video:

37mm Sac Lens for the Iris: www.amazon.com/dp/B07NYPCPD5?...

Very helpful. 👍🏾
Awesome thanks for sharing the info
Thanks for the info!
Pretty new to NV too. Subbing to learn more.
250 usd for one tarsier eye cup... selfmade adjustable iris allday long 👍 looks also better
Big Thanks to AFO for putting this one out here!
Nice
For the butler creek caps ypu want size 17 and you put it on OVER the sacrificial lens.
could you mate a compass to the sacrificial lense? You'd have to thread out your lense to put in the compass/lense combo.
Just wanted to say not all those 37mm iris things are built the same. i bought one on amazon and it rattled and shined. im sure other people sell good ones but the one from excalibor on ebay has been good to me. ive bought two now.

also these things add like 22 grams to your nvg per iris
I just did mine, i didnt realize how much darker it would actually make things. If you're at max gain already - you are gunna have a bad time. The focus it gives is pretty cool tho ngl.
Whats the impact rating on those sacr for the iris? Will it resist to a bb impact of 500 plus fps? Also whats the front size increase after installing this (from the lenses to the end of the "tarsier eclipse"). Since i use an ecoti device i need to know if i have space enough. Thanks

I don't know for sure. Might be worth testing tho
Is there any options for protecting the viewing side lens? I feel like I have seen just little plastic covers that clip in before but I can’t find them, maybe I just don’t know what they are called. Good tip on that nvinc cover because I was waiting for the Wilcox version to come back in stock without knowing it was discontinued

Like protecting the ocular lens? Yeah. Both lenses have the same thread pitch so any sacrificial lens that threads onto the objective lens will thread onto the ocular lens (if you have a milspec housing)

Sorry I’m bad with the terminology. So both the lens that is on the “eye” side of the device and the outer side as seen in the video are the same? That is exactly the type of info I needed, thanks man much appreciated.

terminology for those that are unfamiliar: Ocular lense, is the glass closest to your eye that your look through. Objective lense: the glass on the other end of the device, closest to the object your viewing.
Can you provide a link for the ocular cover? I have the iris with sacrificial glass but the ocular is not so apparent when shopping around. Great video though thanks

Are you referring to just the opaque cap for the ocular lens? You can probably find a cheap one on eBay that'll work just fine for protecting your lenses during storage and transport. www.ebay.com/itm/225580139279?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=d_aoJ_jYRWC&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=jqFRNzPoSVW&var=524755182673&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

@@AFOPatches I have the plastic cover I was just wanting a sacrificial lens for the ocular end. It's not the same size as the objective (37mm).
Does the UV filter protective lens blocks some light? because it is not the same a uv filter and a clear cover.

I cannot notice any difference in light transmission with the UV filter on the iris on or off.

@@AFOPatches Thanks for the answer mate. And do you know if that filter can survive an airsoft BB hit?
Are the red filters for white phos?

You can use the red filters on either white or green. Probably looks better on WP, as on GP it will give you a much more saturated red that will look a bit darker, so you lose a bit of perceived detail.
I purchased a set of Tarsiers, they were expensive but I like the quality. I did waste money on the Purple Filters, I have WP GEN3 Duals and the Purple Filters do nothing, they actual dim the image down to be Black & White, I didnt like them and removed them, they were designed to install on Green Tubes.
Do these threads share the same diameter is 31’s? Not trying to spend 500+ for two irises.

I could be wrong but I was under the impression that 31's/BNVDs don't have external threads on the objective lenses at all. If yours do, I'm not sure what thread pitch they would be. You may need to reach out to the retailer you bought your nods from. They'd be able to give you clear-cut answer on that 👍
