    Just wanted to know if you’ve have any updates on your upcoming PVS 14 build? I’ve been looking at some of the comments and saw that you working on a project that would have downloadable files. Will the files be available to buy? Really looking forward to it. Your work is very clean very professional. Hope to have an update soon. Looking forward to it.

    Which lenses did you use, the ones from a gen 1 night owl? If those work with conventional 10160/11769 tubes that would be sweet. I have a VERY similar project but using 14 lenses. I'm at work, trying to skip around in video and make sure I didn't miss it, sorry if you answered that in there.

    Would you be able to make a housing for my pvs7 tube ? I have a night owl marine pro for lenses id pay for this as well

    Wow I love this design I have that exact same Lense on my “HiTek SuperTalon” and a great Photonis Gen2+ tube I managed to get a steal on inside it! I wish I could make mine lighter and more compact It uses a Fat Anvis style tube Does this?

    As desiger of this battery pack, i'm so excited to see my product been usding in such a nice project, quick removeable and modular objective lens is very impressive. if you want to know more about my battery pack , just ask me.
  • @MrPlytiger
    Pretty good, its a shame the lenses and tube can't be printed also >> Are you making enclosures to sell, maybe the lenses would be hard to get, well at least the ocular lens, the main lens could be c mount.
  • @extrudedshoots
    do you think you could do anything like this with one of the ITT Night Mariner 150 Gen2 tubes?
  • What did you pay for your tube? Idk where to find cheaper tubes besides ebay and want to try printing a monocular.
  • @mikeiso8963
    Does it say which gen 3 tube you’re using?
  • @sebus7628
    Will you release any documentation on this? and the stl files
  • @davidopatsky
    Can you provide a link or name of the battery compartment? Thank you
  • @DEARERFOB771
    could you do a list of parts where to download files to make and how much did u spend
  • make a more rugged one out of a metal 3d printer and add helmet mounting and youve got yourself a buisness
