Multi-Purpose Night Vision Monocular Gen 2+ "High Definition" with Manual Gain
Engineered for armed forces and law enforcement personnel, the PVS-14 2nd Gen High Definition Night Vision Monocular from Armasight is a versatile, compact and rugged night vision device that can be used handheld, mounted to a helmet, weapon, or worn with the included headgear. The Armasight second generation intensifier tube technology incorporates a microchannel plate, multialkali photocathode, built-in power supply, and 18 mm format screen, which improve reliability, image brightness, and quality compared to first generation devices.
The High Definition (HD) feature produces green images and has a resolution of 55-72 lp/mm. With a manual gain control, you can adjust image brightness and detail when passing through environments with a varying ambient infrared illumination. If there is not enough natural infrared and your targets appear too dark and with little detail, the built-in infrared illuminator will provide additional illumination and help improve visibility even in complete darkness. The 1x optical system offers a wide angular field of view and a 0.8' minimum focus distance. Additionally, the device has an auto shut-off function, infrared indicator, and a low battery indicator.
The housing is waterproof, lightweight, durable, and provides protection from adverse conditions and extreme temperatures. It is contoured and has ergonomic controls, knurled adjustment rings, and wide rubberized winged eyecups.

In fact, it is so highly regarded by the US Military that there are more PVS14 models in use in NATO Armies than any other night vision device on Earth. This is a true testament to the skill and build quality of the PVS14 Generation 2 HD MG. Regardless of what your specific night vision interests may be, if you are looking for a strong choice in night vision optics and want an easily hand held monocular that is worth its price and has a strong value, the PVS14 is the perfect monocular for you.
Not only does the PVS Generation 2 offer a high quality Generation 2 HD image intensifier tube which delivers crisp green pallette image, but it also offers the user variable gain control. This is critical for achieving maximized picture quality as it allows you to adjust the brightness tube in carefully for a more precise contrast - this will, in turn, make the image quality substantially better. Think of variable image control kind of like scoping with a binocular, it allows you to slowly adjust your brightness until you find an image that is palatable; it will be an image you can stare at for a long time, making surveillance and other night vision operations simple and streamlined.
The PVS14 Generation 2 HD MG does not have to be hand held. It can also be head mounted, helmet mounted, and even weapons mounted if you want. It can also be connected to a camera or video camera for recording capabilities.
