The PVS-14 is the most widely used night vision device around the globe. It is also the best-selling and most common night vision device seen by professionals and enthusiasts alike. Full-featured, this monocular paved the way for all other night vision monoculars and continues to be fielded by most Western/NATO country services.

The starter variant of the PVS-14 is a curated mix of components designed to ensure the maximum features and potential of the PVS-14 are utilized, while maintaining a budget-friendly approach for first-time users.

The Starter Kit Variant offers the follwing Componenents:

• Commercial-spec optics (compatible with all standard PVS-14 optics accessories)

• GEN 2+ white phosphor autogated tube with either 1400+ or 1600+ FOM

• Noctis Technologies (formerly Carson Industries) mil-spec housing and deployment kit
  

Optics

Our commercial specification optics, used in all our starter kits, are Singaporean-made and compatible with all standard PVS-14 threaded accessories. These lenses do not meet the same MIL-PRF-A3256342A standard as Noctis/Fuji lenses but deliver similar performance across the board. They may produce a slightly less contrast-heavy image but offer an excellent performance-to-price ratio, providing a clear and sharp image that lets the image intensifier’s resolution speak for itself.

The lenses shown in the pictures are Noctis, but ComSpec lenses have a nearly identical form, with different coatings and finish. To see the exact lens and specifications, see Comspec Lense Set

Image Intensifier

The image intensifier tubes used in all our starter kits are Gen 2+ autogated, available in white or green, with either 1400–1599 FOM or 1600–1699 FOM. The autogating feature is included in all our starter kit image intensifier tubes, providing added value from the start and ensuring a long-lasting, protected device.

These are our standard-level figures of merit, offering good image amplification nearing 10,000 cd/m²/lx (sometimes more, depending on the specific tube), which is usually found in more expensive tubes. This makes for a great starting point and even a solid midrange tube, which is also compatible with multiple other housings if upgrading from a starter kit is of interest.
