Frequently Asked Questions can be found here.
What is it?
PVS-69 is a FOSSCAD Night Vision Device (NVD). It uses a fpv drone camera and a small screen, rather than a IIT tube, and is designed to be mounted to a combat helmet.
Why is it useful?
The current suggested components cost ~$500, about 10x less than the industry standard phosphor tube-based night vision.
What is the current version?
The current version of the PVS-69 is the Gen3 FOXTROT. Housings for both V760 and V780 displays are available. The Gen3 FOXTROT also comes with a CS Mount Lens Adapter Assembly (see here for writeup on lenses), which is interchangable with the NE3 Stock Lens Cap.
