I speak with Charles “CHIP” Lanskey about all things night vision. More specifically, all the questions someone who is just getting into Night vision would ask if they had a chance to talk to someone as knowledgeable on the subject as CHIP is.

I like how Colion conducted himself during this podcast. He was there to learn and acquire information and share his knowledge with the masses. He didn't act like a know-it-all like most.
100% agree he did really well, he let the guest expert be the expert he actually is in day to day life
Honey you want to be protected? I gotta spend 8K
Hahaha I'm thinking the same thing!
Trust me. It works.
If You like to drive a nice car you're going to spend money on that protecting yourself. It's a investment. There's many ways to get the products that you need. Just keep watching all his videos and watch other videos.

Being a millionaire would not excuse anyone from being frugal.
It's just as important in my opinion, and one would want to still make sure they are not overspending.
Repeal the NFA!
And the FDA (at least deregulation of IR lasers)
He speaks the truth. Over the last 8 years, I have lost around 1500 birds to varmints around my place. Fathers day saw all my kids & wife chip in and get me a ATN Thor 4 scope.
First week saw 5 fox's, 4 coyotes a fisher and 13 raccoons go down and there has not been a week that goes by that I don't get a shot off at somthing. The night is nolonger their friend.
Awesome, you own the night
Awesome. Keeping money in your pocket is always good
Night vision and thermals are legitimate investments for rural citizens and the first time i went coyote hunting with just a pvs 14 and a red dot i was able to get a coyote, my buddy with a thermal got one, and my other buddy got the biggest raccoon id ever seen all in the same night. Not to mention the second amendment preparedness it gives you
sounds like you need a better fence
how refreshing to listen to someone who actually understands I2.

I've never forgiven Ubisoft for not creating another splinter cell. It's been 7 years! 😭
Some of them do
Let be honest the best thing about night vision is looking at the stars ✨
Agreed, I looked up in Iraq and I was like damn, I never knew it was this many stars, got yelled at and told to pay attention lol
Or walking the dog in pitch black, checking on the kids at night without turning on a light, taking out the trash, driving in black out, I use mine for basically everything night related
@@huntersloan4042 driving? I thought they could not be used through glass?
@@7.3obsobsessed31 night vision can be used through glass, it's thermal that can't.

@@cultleader3572 the L3 Harris is a really great choice, along with Elbit or even Litton. L3 are usual options for milspec
@@cultleader3572 I got my Gen 3 PVS-14 with an Elbit white phosphor tube for 2600 during a black friday sale. It has a minor blem which is why the price was reduced, but I don't even notice it when out hiking. Got mine from Steele Industries and hand-selected the tube, not a bad deal if you ask me.
Great interview with Chip. This guy knows his stuff, have him on again.
I met Chip at the first "friends of Pat", he sat down, said hi, conversed about background and when we trained with Pat Rogers. Very friendly and personable regardless of the fact we were just regular guys. He treated us as good as the ninjas that were all over the event.
This was a great event. It doesn't get better than Chip and all of the guys at TNVC. It doesn't get more real than the stuff that "Roland" was teaching after the sun went down.
This has been one of the most interesting conversations I’ve heard in a while. This guy is extremely knowledgeable. Good interview
Pro tip: It never occurred to me me NOT to store my NVG in a Pelican case.
Listening to Noir complaining about pricing while driving a G wagon and has no kids 🤔
That's his choice... no kids no wife = money in the bank...

If you own 30+ guns and then complain about the price of night vision. The community will tell you your priorities are out of whack.
I saw zero ads during this video
Chip is an awesome guy and one of the most knowledgeable gents we have on this subject, for sure. I dealt with him a couple of times when he was with TNVC- a consummate professional. So is Teddy!! I ended up saving my pennies for an unfilmed white phos PVS-14 from TNVC because that’s all I could afford lol. That plus ancillary equipment= easily 5 grand folks 😬. And I ain’t rich but buy once cry once I say 😉😎
this is great timing.
i bought pvs 14 bundle about 3 months ago, and i have training lined up soon with it. i learned allot before, and this video both confirms, and adds to it.
thank you so much.
I really liked this interview. Colion is exactly how I was not that long ago and this was a really good interview for beginners. I love the way he asked questions, they were so typical for an novice.
I've seen a lot of other "intro to nightvision" videos...this is one of the best.
He goes into a lot of detail but keeps it simple and understandable at the same time
I just learned more about night vision in one hour than i have ever known. Excellent info.
Have you seen the Trex videos? They’re also pretty informative
@@knndyskful Ill check them out, thanks!
46:18 throws out the chupacabra, no one bats an eye.
Thanks guys! This was really, really good. I just attended my gun club’s night shoot and got turned onto white phosphor for the first time. I also appreciated the discussion around shooting passive, which is why I’m happy I went with the Eotech EXPS3 which is NV compatible.
Outstanding interview. Thank you Colion.
Colion, thank you for this video! Your guest threw out a TON of knowledge. And, your questions list was well prepared! Awesome! 😎👍🏻
Great interview. Thanks for all your work.
For shooting, I can run a single tube on my non-dominant eye and use my red dot normally through my dominant eye. Since I’m used to shooting with both eyes open and learned to shoot on illuminated scopes with small eye boxes, my brain processes both pictures and lays them over one another without issues. My feeling is anyone can train themselves to take two pictures from two eyes and make them work together with enough practice.
That’s how you can get away with using a 600 dollar thermal monocular over a 2500 dollar tube.
This was good stuff man, please have this dude back on for a round two.
the explanation as to the manufacturing process and how they actually work was very interesting.
27:50 Yep, best way to check if your TV remote is working... Point it at the camera on your phone (obviously with the camera app on like you're gonna take a picture) and hit a button. If the remote is working, you will see the IR LED on the remote light up on the phone screen (usually like a violet color).
Thank you for this video.
Great content!
Excellent show. Very informative and understandable.
Wow! Lots of great info! Thanks for taking time on this! 🇺🇸👍 I also like Colins expensive audio makers hangin on the wall behind him! 😜 I LOVE ALL MY Audio devices too! Some got lost in a recent boat accident too....
This was a super helpful and informative interview. Thanks!
Thank you for this video Colion.
Excellent interview. I learned a lot. Thank you.
Worth the squeeze. Buy once cry once.
White Phosphorus is the sh*t but you'll be spending at the very least $10-15k...but price should not matter when it comes to larping in your basement and fighting in nerf wars.
Lol facts 🤣 you can get a great pvs14 white phosphor for $3000 though.

That’s great information about the pelican case I had no idea about the moisture and thanks for all the rest of the info about the night vision
Out comes the rifles thanks guys
Awesome interview. Have pvs14 and thermal. Best purchase so far. 👍🏻
wow what a great video thanks this helped a lot..keep up the great videos.
That was a badazz interview. Way to go Chip! Thank you sir!
I love the riser talk. With my Primary Arms ACSS Raptor I have the lever mount that puts the center of the optic 1.5 inches above the bore. I added a 1 inch riser to keep me more upright, and easier to wear ear pro and other gear. For some reason people in these gun groups don't understand it, and some really like to tell me their opinion of my set up
Some great advice and information on many subjects.
Thank you for making this!
I remember when I got to use nvgs back in the early 90’s. Our patrols or infills and/or exfills we had the point man and the rear guard with nvgs and the rest of us followed the patrol caps of the soldiers in front of us. The only thing that slowed us down was fog. That was fun as we ran through the woods at night.
Thank you for the information!
Wow.. The most informative nightvis video on the whole internet Thank you
Thanks for doing the testing. Gives us a starting point.
One of the best channels on CZcams!
Colin, I dropped 9 grand on Gen3, 4x scope, the extra was for a top tier tube, with the data sheet.,in 2006 and it’s still top notch….
I dropped 5 grand on Pulsar Thermal… Best thing ever to find a lost cat, or hunting… Or Bee removals out of houses. Pulsar !!!
Thank You for touching on this. I’m in Texas. Hey Colion , my neighbor. Yes We have soo many coyotes that are taking down new born calves. We have hogs but not in an every night problem but it will! Also please keep Us up to date on Your use of the new toy. Thank You!
thanks for the info of the cases and moisture
great guest and video, thanks
personally I think you should revisit this topic because N.V. and thermal optic has come innovatively a very long way in the last 2 years A long way.. it would be nice to see this content upated
To be honest, digital has even caught up a bit. Got to try out the Opsin recently and was pretty blown away by how amazing it was. I own a WP pvs14, but I'm thinking of grabbing a legit digital unit soon. Pvs-69s are not that bad either 😉
@@JackTavern629 What's the best monocular under $3800?

Best night vision video by far Tks👍
Very informative! I know absolutely nothing but info is always nice.
I use a PVS-14 3+ WP and a FLIR Breach on a mod armory mount. so far I really like this set up
Informative, thanks
Chip looks like a call of duty character

Chip IS a call of duty character. Lol.
Stay away from shading, edge glow, flickering and emission points. These are considered serious malfunctions if you're looking at new or used. AKA material detects
Awesome info about night vision types. Great show!!!!???
This is such an awesome channel.
For a Poor-Mans NV setup do the following like I did. (Civilian, so outside of something wild happening this is more than sufficient for hunting, etc. NOT For "Hardcore Use" )
1. Helmet - Shred Ready Tactical Rescue Helmet- basic bump helmet with nvg shroud - $80
2. Sionyx Aurora Sport monocular - can be had on sale for ~$400. Color IR night vision with some latency and less FOV and low battery life, but in a pinch should work ok.
3. Norotos Mount can be had on ebay for like ~$60 or less.
4. Lionsgear Adapter for Sionyx Aurora $120
5. For a weapon mounted IR illuminator and laser combo, a PEQ or similar is very pricy, but Russia has you covered with a 2IKS+Klesh IR illum+laser combo for $300. Get from Ivan Tactical, it takes some time to get thru customs, but it works great.
All in I have less than $1k into a basic starter setup. I get full color NV with a zeroed laser and a decent illuminator. Now is this equivalent to anything that uses gen 2+ or 3 intensifier. Nope! If you want great equipment you'll have to drop some serious cash. But again, i'm just a civilian who's primary purpose for this might be hunting, and will likely and hopefully never have to use this against something that shoots back. I'm more than happy with this setup, its not streamlined or "battle proven" but it seems to work for my purpose. and it might for you too.
Great info......tnx
I still personally think the pvs14 is the reliable option for cheapskates like me even tho it can go for 2k
I got the Aurora white one love it getting the black one for gps
I just bought an ATN X-Sight 4K for my coyote rifle. $500, and it comes with a ton of other features besides day/night capabilities, most notably a ballistic calculator that can account for drop and wind both. All you need is a good IR illuminator and you can see out to 300 yards or more in total darkness. It even comes with a decent one.
Edit: They don't seem to be mentioning near-IR digital gear at all. That's the black & white stuff you get in good digital cameras and the X-Sight I have. You can get stuff like that for $250 or even less, and they're pretty decent. They're better and cheaper than Gen1+ and some Gen2 image intensifiers.
@joshypoo79 Uh, no shit? It doesn't matter if you have NV or not, youKre going to lose to the feds. Water is wet and fire is hot.
Good conversation!
This guy is amazing, good channel guy too.
Would be nice if there were a circuit timer on the tube like DSLR camera sensors do. You buy a used camera, you can easily see how many times the shutter has clicked.
Chip is one badass and awesome dude..
I started off with not as much money and bought a Gen 2+ monocular (which is tremendously better than what I had in the 101st Airborne in the 80’s which was NADA, CO had the only device in the company) and it’s a surprisingly good performer, especially with my MRO red dots and the mounts allowing me to mount to any rifle it’s rated to handle.
Im glad I got mine when I did. I paid 4k for mine, 2 yrs ago. and couldn't be happier with it. Then another 1500 for my eotech peq 15. Night vision aint cheap, but it's worth it. I'm glad they touched on taking the batteries out. I didn't and had to send it back to the manufacturer to have the spring cleaned. NEVER leave a battery in anything you don't use daily.
Thanks very much for info on night vision goggles. Very interesting.Very detailed from detection+ intensification to red lasers only you can see to white phosphorus. I'm like you Colin think I'd need help buying one with fuel tubes but the training and care for such advance night vision is very interesting.
Yes. night vision gets expensive quick! But if you have the money it's definitely worth it.
Dude is very smart ty
Great job
I always struggled with NOD's when I was in. It's so hard figuring out depth of perception and identifying things. Besides that, they're fun to play with.
Thanks
Nice video and very informative and very entertaining and very satisfaction more videos.
I love Unity Tactical Fast Risers, especially wit the built in rear iron

Great information and we need another first mag video sir.
My sons pooled their resources together and purchased a night vision scope for me and gave it to me on Fathers Day. I've mounted it on both an AR and my 7mm-08 magazine fed rifle. I also have a rangefinder that links to the scope, which makes shooting a little like a game. I enter a little information (wind speed) and it provides a shooting solution. And does it in less than a second.
It's great for daylight or night. It came with an IR "flashlight" but it's a little weak. A stronger one is my next purchase.
Being in Utah, I need to look up the class Colion came for...
And Colion said he's fallen down the rabbit hole. I think someone pushed him.
46:11 the way it was said so nonchalant.. 😂
You're a very good interviewer
24:50
Other direction. Above normal human vision is IR, below it is UV. The normal vision range is 400-700nm. Post 700nm is the IR range, below 400nm is the UV range.
I like when he call us "General Purpose." Haha 100% hands down true.
In the old days, it was GPAK (General Purpose Ass Kicker)
Night vision (image intensification) has an expiration date/life cycle. NVG/NVD require maintenance to recharge and/or replace the photocathode. They are also susceptible to damage from bright/daylight. Thermals are a sensitive camcorder.
Gen 3s have over 10,000 hours of use, most of us will be fine with that
Man I am glad I checked the battery in my optic, sure enough it had gotten corroded, wow, that was in eye opener, thanks for the knowledge!!
Chip is a badass I want to take one of this courses.
Bro wtf, I've watched almost 6 hours of nvg videos today and now you drop this.
Thank you for this TEDtalk! lol
