Want Panoramic Night vision? -The Panobridge MK3, make your PVS14's Awesome
Welcome back to the Channel!
Today we have the Noisefighters panobridge mk3 in for review, this $400 bridge mount turns any two pvs14 NVG into a 55deg and 40 deg bino system. Pair this with lightweight tanto with rpo v.3 glass and you basically have the lightest paned nvg bino system. Mine is 480 grams and let me tell you, I love it and it blows most regaular bino systems out of the water. The tube i'm running are WP photonis 4g echo tubes, 2K fom, and they are supplied by our channel partner Phosphor Knights (not paid) and you can find them at www.phosphorknights.co.uk. They didn't pay for this review, but they help the channel and i'm grateful for their friendship and support! If your based in the UK and need nightvision from the best, look no further.
Thanks for checking out this review. I really hope it helps you.

Garmin Foretrex 601 REVIEW (Is this the best military GPS?)
turn the damn music off
sadly once edit is done its there forever. but feedback noted. volume down. appreciated 🫡
Have the tan version and I love it
i dig it too 😎
Came here from your 801 review ! Phenomenal reviews man
your awesome dont change appreciated means a lot
Hi, what kind of maps can you upload on this device and where do you purchase them? Tnx
you cant upload but you can import gpx files from garmin explore app. so these are saved as tracks. so you make your own maps. there is no phyiscal mapping. e.g topographic and similar. its a breadcrumb navigator but its highly accurate and has great battery life
Great Video ! May get the 801 soon and mount it in a Chest Pack for my Map and Compass Navigation ! Will back up the 26mm NATO style watchband with 550 Paracord.. Will the 801 survive an EMP event ? tjl
EMP. only in a faraday bag/box shielded from magnetic harm. so unless its shielded an EMP wouls amoke this. Appreciate your kind comments my friend
What about NVG mount?
not seen. does it fit in the shroud position?
This was tons of help thanks
just message if you need more buddy.
sharp shines
indeed
Great video! The metal versions are actually out now, and ready to ship.
appreciated I need to get my hands on a m1
This model has an internal microphone
nope. not that im aware of
Does it have jump rope counter?
believe it or not, it does!
Big difference between forever and 25 years
im going to do a video ever 10 years to report on the glow. but there are reports of the old lights still glowing since the 80's. its more the useful glow output hence why the military have them for 10 years from new ad they are strong in the first halflife
I’m relatively sure, even before watching the video, that panoramic night vision is not for me…..but by golly I still want it.
its certainly cool. but the pvs14 is still a great option. 👍 appreciate your comments
Night vision is so cool!
its really a superpower, nighthikes are the best. can see every star in the sky, satellites etc but the technology is getting better all the time.
Brynje as First Lager then 200 woolpower an then a goretex Jackett. Very good
agreed
Does it use USB C or mini USB?
AAA batts! but the battery pack is a usb bd1800. so i use the pack and then alkaline batts for backups
they also sell a rechargable lamp with integrated battery but i wanted the dual fuel goodness. I'll check the charging lead for you.
So you can't charge the battery pack thru the headlamp like the revolt does?The revolt is duel fuel but you can charge the battery pack inside the lamp without having to remove it. I don't see why they are going backwards.
I made a mistake and got the forerunner 965 but I wished I brought this watch
where did u buy it from, could maybe return it?
@@AlphaPews I got it from Sigma Sports in London
@@AlphaPews I only got it on Monday
@shyrahman4506 that could be easy to return
@@AlphaPews this morning I went back to the shop and return the 965 back and placed the order of the Epix Pro 51 Sapphire
wtf? Stay tuned for more info? Was there something you didn’t have time to say?
it only allows 60 seconds and i talk far too much. But im planning to do a review, i have a special camera for low light but defo a review in 10 years time to see how bright the glow is
Is it just me or has Snugpak got the most complicated naming and grading system in the world? You've got i-12 this that and the other, you've got i-4 this and that SF this and that1-4 and then there's Osprey, Hawk, Kestrel and half the bird world. It obviously pays them as they've done it for years they've confused me into buying 3 bags over the years and having to sell on 2 at a loss. Moan over.
lol i agree, i think its due to the army and how they name the contracts and also how they procure them
ive been using ex surplus army bags. cheap and warm but heavy. so i treated myself to a winter down bag for use in my hammocks
Dear shooters, can I use this device for airsoft shooting ranges ?
technically yes but not for the sound detection
@@AlphaPews i mean the place is close not outside, then will the device detect the sound ?
there is a way to reduce sound sensitivity but this isnt ideal and really designed for small arms e.g 22LR rimfire
depends on the system used. maybe gas rifles gbbr or pistols could be detected but again its about the sound levels
@@AlphaPews appreciated all your efforts, many thanks
What color is this?
black DLC coated titanium. but its more dark grey
My PVS-14 illuminator is much brighter than the Sidewinder Compact II in infrared mode. The RWB colors are also pretty dim. Consider the Sidewinder Compact II a map light, nothing more. So I sent this toy back for a refund, and then I bought a REAL light.
maybe you got a faulty unit. my onboard IR had a focused beam due to the led type. so this is a wider flood. i tested surefire also and this wins in my view. But your experience with your tube specs etc will differ. what sort of tube specs you running? also i think of onboard ir as a backup not primary, as if that stops working, it's a new battery housing for the 14.
what light are your running? on the helmet. ive got a surefire 3p IR but its overkill for most tasks.
@@AlphaPews I wanted a light that would allow me to use a stopped-down iris on my PVS-14 indoors. The Sidewinder was overpowered by my onboard PVS-14 illuminator. Now I run a Surefire Scout.
@Down_Time_Productions ah i see thats makes sense. yeah ive used iris also. brilliant for reading or squaring away weapons etc. I love being able to rotate and tilt it tho. my scout light vampire lives on my rifle so i couldnt justify a second for my lid. but that being said surefire and malkoff are my go to illumination brands.
Beefy
why thanks 😊
Superb video
appreciate you stopping by! 🤟
Upgrading from a worn out Fenix 5X original version to the Fenix 7 Pro Sapphire Solar. Decided to reduce the size a smidge. Looking forward to the upgrade.
im excited for you already. i came from an instinct and im still really happy. did you get a deal on it?
@AlphaPews not exactly. But I did have rewards points from work that paid for all but the last $75 of it.
@wittyag fair one suppose something is better than nothing at all. hit me up of you get stuck at all. happy to help
A 900 $ flashlight, again
900 smartwatch with full navigation and a flashlight plus more. i agree its expensive. if it were 700 that would be far better. trouble is apple watches offer far less and their ultra 2 watches are just gimmick. All depends on what your use case is. Dont get me wrong i love automatic watches too
@@AlphaPews For me a good compass is key, so I look at the Suunto Vertical too in compare. Good point on the Ultra 2. But I need to decide, leave for ski trip on Thursday :):)
its got really good ski features. inc course mapping. i also ski and looking forward to using it myself. i think garmins mapping has the full european courses but worth checking online first
Hi, it looks like the screen of the 7 Pro is much better than the screen of the regular seven. Do you think this is really the case? It would be great to see a face-to-face review of these screens.
i believe they are the same but could be the sapphire glass? also my filming camera is kinda 👌 so that will help. i was in a REI store stateside and the staff were really helpful or see if you can find a garmin main dealer. To be sure checkout the garmin website. dont forget this is the Fenix 7 pro sapphire solar so their top spec watch in the line. The fenix 7 is a great watch and the previous generation fenix 6 is also very nice too (also cheaper and more deals about) just depends on what features arenkost important. although the battery on the 7 series has good reports from what i can tell and personally only needs 1 or 2 monthly charges.
The MIP is upgraded in the 7 Pro
@ToniTio89 yes from what i understand also more colours.
Can you reverse the colors on the screen?
sadly not.
Would you buy the M-Seven again or do you think the traditional 40 FOV would be clearer?
I've actually got the brand new panobridge mk3 in now. the review will be dropping in the next few weeks! along with a new helmet setup
the m seven is very nice but the mk3 has dual capability for 40 deg fov and panned 65 deg
personally for me the option to switch easily is a big win. I can go to standard 40 deg for range use and then 65 deg fixed for navigation and wider field use
Great question tho buddy
Looks usable
I managed to get a second matched specs tube so standby for a fresh bino build.
I love lumens factory i did up my m3 combat light with their parts
those in the know love them 😎
What watch band is that? And where did you get it I don't like the one it comes with
hi Jordan, it's a garmin 26mm nato band. but any 26mm watch band will work.
Can you explain what the 'Reserve' column means on the spec sheet? I'm not following what its trying to say
I believe its the low power setting once the batteries get low enough. I'm not sure if that's red or white output. but luckily it's easy to see the battery status and switch before they get low.
wow 350 lumens is that good? should I got 600???
200 is more than enough. 600 is overkill. ideally you want good battery life too? so lower output balanced with battery life is ideal
I'd like to see this become infinitely solar powered too- just like the later model Instincts and Etrex Solar. I have two previously mentioned- Just holding out till a Foretrex SOLAR to get released .
same here but given the battery requirements for military and the small size your better of going rechargeable and a small solar portable unit for the cells. 100hrs on those AAA is very healthy now
Pretty sure a triple a will work in it too
I think it does. runtime less but the light seems to run on nearly everything. pretty cool 😎
It only glows 10-20 years, not forever
I'll be doing a follow up in 10 and 20 years. you just inspired me. Theses are really interesting as they half their glow output each half life. but the useful output is rated for 12 years. so in 24 years, the glow will be half and then another 12 years half again.
Awesome video, just pulled the trigger on this watch. I think the solar feature won it over for me vs the epix - i want a watch, not a smartphone screen on my wrist! Also, as a side note, is that a tactical wedding ring?
indeed it is silicone in case of a situation. I had the same feeling. I wanted great battery life and a super fancy screen wasn't super important for me. currently I charge once or twice a month in winter and the flashlight gets used very often, it's super handy. Really happy you enjoyed the review means a lot. glad to help you
1000+ for a f watch
my solar intensity didnt work at all. its never show a solar indicator and i cant charge with solar.
it tops up rather than charges. so in thr summer in europe on a day where there is strong sunlight it will assist like 2% depending how much sun exposure. Think of it a maintainer rather than charger. The watch does so much stuff the solar panels would have to be massive to charge a complete device. I have a solar device still and it'd exactly the same
I charge mine once a month from USB its great. Apple watched are daily for comparison
Where can I get the battery cover only?
simple answer Russia. Best bet is find a similar battery cap on different device. I battery caps from factory were tethered
stay safe
Where can I get it
check out falconclaw eu. otherwise its Google searching an a cup of coffee my buddy
Is this waterproof?
yep. but not dive proof.
Are you American? Why do you have our flag on your helmet?
ex yes, American family also. Born in UK the rest is a long long story my friend.
what state u from? most of my family are West Coast peeps
your review sucks
I need something that combines this device with topo maps as well
fenix 7 or the etrex models. none are more compact so I'd lean towards the fenix. I have a video on that also so it may help you.
@@AlphaPews thank you i wa leaning towards the etrex 32x but am worried about the 10,000 limit backtrack points
Hi, can you tell me if the red logo can be adjusted or it was edited in the beginning to make it look all black ? Thankyou
that's part of the creative edit.
there are a few black and white images. but further into video you can see the colour, check it out ❤️
🔥🔥
07:39 i guess you talking quietly won't alarm people any more than randomly shining very powerful lights in the middle of the park at night 😂
one million lumens quietly whispered. meanwhile, the light also being seen in space.... 😆
is there any way to flip the screen? thinking of mounting one to my body armor but would need the buttons to be on the "top"
there is no option to my knowledge. there are some 3rd party molle mounts for armour. Worth checking but likely for the 601 as the 801 is still new
