- These 5 bridge mounts offer a variety of unique features for dual mounting PVS-14s and they're each under a $800! A big THANK YOU to Nicole May @Mod Armory and Augee Kim @TNVC!
*Disclosure: The Asgard, D-14 Gen2, D-14LW, and PBM were sent to me at no charge to make this video. Everything was returned after the video was completed except for the D-14 Gen 2. I decided to purchase it to replace my D-14 Gen 1.*

Dude this video was so concise and well done, friggen bravo. Great info!
Thank you 🙏
Thank you for the video. That helps out a lot explaining all the different models! Cheers!
Jesse Ross you’re welcome!
Thanks for the D-14 information regarding tightening up the dovetail set-screw!
D-14 LW Best way to go hands down
Just got a NPBM thanks to your videos and reviews. Appreciate your content 🙏
👍
Probably too late to add this comment, but it would be interesting to see a review of the Norotos DDA bridge. It's $185 by itself, but requires 2 DDAs. Probably not optimal by the standard of these other bridges, but still an intriguing design for anyone that may already have 2 DDAs on hand.
Awesome video dude thank you for explaining everything crystal clear
👍
I was not interested in the 14s and was looking at 15s and 31s, but after your vid, Bro you've changed my mind! 2 x 14 plus the PBM / TNVC is my new choice. Awesome vid, bro, thanks!
👍 If you start looking at binos again, I’d pass on the -15 and only do the -31 if you’re dead set on it. You can get a bino like the NVD-BNVD or DTNVG/DTNVS for WAY less $ than the -31 with diopter adjustment so you can get clear focus.
@@NITEWALKER-NIGHTVISION Great info, thanks! But from this vid and your other, with the non-powered mount, you basically sold me on this system. I really like the versatility it offers. The one thing I quickly noticed, as an issue, is the single battery powering the two units. This seems like a poor design, do the inherent issue of sustained battery life, but then again, there's always the battery pack.
I'm now trying to find the best 14 for the money, any suggestions? Also what helmet mount would you suggest?
Thanks Bro!
@@Miami_Bad_Boy_BOSS It’s fairly heavy so just keep that in mind. I’m not trying to convince you not to get lol. I love dual -14’s and still have some plus binos. It probably cuts the AA down to 20 hours for both -14’s.
It’s tough to recommend where because so many dealers are back ordered. I’d look at JRH Enterprises & Night Goggles. They’re both offering XLSH tubes and you can get new -14’s with XLSH white phosphor for $2,500-$2,700 which is a decent price. Tell them you’re getting them to run as a pair so they match them.
@@Miami_Bad_Boy_BOSS Oh yeah. Helmet mount, I’d get the Wilcox G24. If you need to save some money then a Rhino II with a dovetail adapter.
@@NITEWALKER-NIGHTVISION 27/oz doesn't seem too bad, but then again, the heaviest thing on my head is a hat... unless you count my girl, then that's my face, but that's an entirely different convo, lol... What binos are you running, I'm guessing a variant of the 31?
That Rhino II with the dovetail mod, seems to be a popular rig; I just saw a vid on it, where the guy is showing how to remove the current Bayonet and replace it with a dovetail.
Great informative video man, thank you!
Fantastic breakdown, thanks!!
Dude what are those sweet gloves? Nice video
I think those were mechanix. Thanks 🤙🏼
Very useful, and well explained information 👍
Amazing info! Thank you!
The MOD armory FLIR breach attachment sucks. It doesn’t adjust and line up the thermal unit level. I do not recommend wasting your money.
Would Gen2 D14/LW D14 provide same level of alignment as NPBM since they have higher nubs? It also comes to my concern that over extended use if the anodizing one those nubs are worn out would they accidentally shut off the 14s
Foster Liu It does and locks up solid. The issue I had with the Gen 1 was that sometimes it would move on me if the screw loosened up. I don’t think you’ll have a problem with it shutting off if.
@@NITEWALKER-NIGHTVISION The two pockets on my 14 are very very shallow so I was worrying about it not locking up well
Can you remove one of the arms of the IC/D-14 Lightweight for use with a single pvs-14? I plan to get one pvs-14 initially then add another down the road. If an arm can be removed then reinstalled I could use it with one nod then reinstall the second arm and add the second pvs-14 when that time comes. Thanks for the vid.
Will an ARGUS USBP work with the TNV PBM-A?
I'm looking for Budget NV's, and see Gen2+ everywhere these days at a very competitive price. Any chance you'd recommend those? I'm not looking for like "super combat" stuff, budget stuff for personal use inna woods/airsoft/training -- Any comparisons for Gen2+ vs Gen3? Some of the Gen2+ stuff I'm seeing seems to be rivaling entry level gen3 stuff?
Who has the best deal on a PVS-14 style setup these days? Budget "new" PVS-14 w/ Gen3 equivalent I'm seeing is just a tad over 2k? See AGM for about 2400-2500, Gear Central Supply has a setup w/ Omni 7 tubes for 2500. Any chance there's stuff out there for under 2k?
Munky332 The only gen 2 stuff that I’ve seen that is good are the Photonis Echo. Most of the gen 2+ that’s out there will have much lower performance and can be Russian gen 2 or Photonis gen 2 (they make other tubes). Night Goggles and Night Vision Inc have PVS-14’s with Echos for around $2,500. If you’re on the AR15.com forum, in the equipment exchange night vision section there are a couple gen 2+ for sale under $2k.
Not sure if your gonna respond on a video this old, but do you think dual 14s with a powered bridge mount would be too heavy for a crye nightcap?
That’ll be too heavy to be comfortable. You’ll need a good amount of counterweight and you’ll better mounting options on a bump helmet plus you can get 4D pads to make it more comfortable
@@NITEWALKER-NIGHTVISION what if all i have is the nightcap? Whats the best way to run duals on it?
I really like the nightcap for its portability
@@thegeth4293 Try it and if it doesn’t work then get a bump helmet. Use the Crye Night cap battery pack pouch
@@thegeth4293 you’ll need to DIY the counterweight because no weight is included with it
Does the L4 G24 helmet mount fit the D14 without the need for an adaptor?
The G24 is a dovetail mount. The D-14 is offered in dovetail or bayonet interface. Select the dovetail version and it plugs right in
Does the powered bridge mount shut off the pvs-14s when you articulate them upwards? Or fold them outwards?
Gunmonkey5 Unfortunately no, power knob only
Can one of the J arms be removed on the D-14 LW if you’re just running one PVS-14?
Yes, it can be removed with a flat head screwdriver
NITEWALKER awesome thanks!
Thx for the video. I want to know, what do you think about PVS-14 + Flir breach?
I haven’t done it myself but almost bought a Breach to try it. I got a PTS233 instead. Who knows, maybe that’ll be down the road :)
@@NITEWALKER-NIGHTVISION Hah) This is interesting setup. I want to know how the brain perceives the picture from pvs-14+flir breach.
Russian Infrared Vision it doesn’t work well from what I’ve been told. Some people have had luck but must just switch off between the -14 and Breach
@@wherenowhow6037 Thx! This is very interesting and useful information!
WhereNow&How Which one do you run on your dominant eye?
I don’t think you can find the Asgard anymore…. I tried looking it up cause it looks like rnvgs but can’t find any
You're correct. Thanks for pointing it out I updated the description
@@NITEWALKER-NIGHTVISION wanna sell me yours? Lol I like it because it has that anvis/ring look
@@NITEWALKER-NIGHTVISION bah I just read the updates, darn.... also have you heard of the MACHOS mount? It's meant for dual pvs-14 and is made in Australia. Its kind of cool and maybe they would be willing to send you one to review?
@@Gunmonkey5 No, I'm good. I'm dual pvs-14'd out lol
@@NITEWALKER-NIGHTVISION hahaha
I know some housings differ slightly in dimensions anyone know if a act pvs14 be used with a gsci pvs14c?
If it's compatible with a USGI or Wilcox j-arm then it should fit
Is this NVG setup just two one piece, night vision just customised to be a binocular? I'm really confused, I'm planning to buy one for airsoft.
These setups are two PVS-14 monoculars combined on a dual bridge to be used as a dual tube system
@@NITEWALKER-NIGHTVISION Yeah, I just realised by watching another one of your video, thanks for responding, I'm trying to get a cheap NVG for airsoft so yeah
Thanks for the video! Man now you got my wheels turning. Question what would you do if you had a pretty nice Gen 3 Green Phos. device, and you where wanting to upgrade, but at the same time, your wife wants to get into training with NOS.? Do I go for it and buy a $5k White Phos. unit and just always run them separate? Or do I buy another Green Phos. like the one I have for cheaper, and a dual mount so I can run them together when she isn't using them (She won't use them near as much as me) any thoughts would be great! Take care!
Lol it would prob be weird to run White in one eye and Green in the other Right? Asking for a friend, I've never tried it lmao.
That's how we got started with one -14, then a 2nd and dual bridge mount. We'd each run a -14 and I would bridge them together when it was just me. Then we went into another -14 and then another and then ended up with binos.
Long of the short is that dual -14's are a great way to gradually get into a dual tube device versus spending all of the money at once on binos, however, you will most likely end up with binos. So, it's worth skipping ahead to binos IMO if you can do it. I still like running dual -14's but a dedicated lighter goggle is more comfortable. The weight of dual -14's is too much for most people.
I've talked to a few guys who've run white & green together and they said the primary color they see is whichever one is over their dominant eye. I wouldn't gamble on it personally and just go for well matched tubes with the same phosphor color.
@@NITEWALKER-NIGHTVISION Yeah I figured it probably wouldn't work to well, but hey after watching your videos I figured, well this guy has probably tried it lol. I just ordered an L3 Film less, from N Vision Optics, it the Generation 3 L-3 White P-45 Phosphor, Unfilmed Auto-Gated Image Intensifier Pvs-14. It was the "highest quality" one they had... It was 4k I sure hope I'm happy with it... How do you think I did?
@@82rocksolid I'm sure it'll be good. Did they send you a copy of the spec sheet? Or hit me up when you get it. I could tell you how it is based on the spec sheet aka data record.
@@NITEWALKER-NIGHTVISION They said that I would get one, however the device isn't put together yet and they have to put it together, put it through testing and then once that is done they will send it to me? I looked up N Vision they seem reputable. The guy I talked to said that a lot of civilians haven't heard of them mostly because they deal with Government contracts but are now getting into the Civilian market more? Does any of this sound legit lol?
Did you get these culminated?
Looking for a bridge mount for the ATN NVM14-2 stock.
I'm not sure if the NVM rail will work as is or if you'll have to modify it to work with MUM rail interfaces but that's the only option I know of - dual bridge mounts with MUM rail interfaces.
The D-14 you can order with Breach arms which use a MUM style interface. Wilcox and KVC also have MUM style interfaces you can use with them but they are an additional price.
so even with all these mounts, do you still feel the same way about picking true duals over 2 14s?
wolf0060 Dedicated binos are a better system for dual tubes but dual -14’s have their place. It’s an easier stepping stone for some people to slowly work their way from a single -14 to two with the bridge and then later possibly putting them into a binocular housing. I would use the QD D-14 often to quickly detach a -14 for videos & pics. They’re also great for preparedness individuals for the redundancy of two complete operational monoculars. If I could only do dual -14’s or a bino, I’d personally go with dual -14’s, for the ability to split them up. The Mod-3 is a good option also for being able to split them up.
@@NITEWALKER-NIGHTVISION I am wanting to make the jump to dual 14s or some used DTNVGs, main issue is my current 14 is an Omni 7 with no spec sheet so i'm not sure how i would go about finding a companion 14 for it lol. I have had the chance to use a friends DTNVGs and they are amazing, that price tag is just a hard pill to swallow.
wolf0060 10-4, I see where you’re coming from. Not every dealer is accommodating but I suppose if one was willing to do it, you could send them the -14 and they could eyeball a match for it. Is it an L3 or ITT tube? One issue with dual -14’s with ITT tubes (aka Elbit, old Harris) is when the time comes to go into a bino housing you’re limited to ones with gain control. Some dealers will do the modifications to make it work inside a no-gain housing. The L3 tubes have removable pigtails so you can use them in any housing. If you won’t have a need to split them up, honestly going with the DTNVG is the better option if you can spring it
@@NITEWALKER-NIGHTVISION I honestly have no idea, i picked it up from Steele industries last year during their black friday sale. It definitely sounds like the DTNVG would be the easier route in my case. :D guess i'ts time to save my pennies, thanks for the replies man.
wolf0060 🤙
Between two pvs14s and the bridge mount this is literally the same cost as a dual tube. Just these are 50% heavier. Doesn’t make sense for the average person and I don’t think huge police departments are watching CZcams to learn about this. Nor are they really worried about the price.
Hey dude, do you have an email I can contact you at? I got a couple questions for you and need your help/opinion.
