Description
The AGM PVS-14E NL1 Monocular (AGM item 11PE41284153011) is a military-pattern night vision monocular built on the proven PVS-14 design and fitted with a Gen 2+ Level 1 image intensifier tube. It offers 1x magnification, a 40 degree field of view and a 26mm F/1.2 objective lens, and it can be used handheld, on a head mount or on a ballistic helmet.
AGM PVS-14E NL1 Monocular Overview
The PVS-14 format is the most widely used night vision monocular in the world because it is light, rugged and versatile. AGM’s PVS-14E version weighs about 10.2 ounces and measures roughly 4.25 by 2.5 by 2.7 inches. It conforms to MIL-STD-810G, is waterproof and rugged, and operates from minus 60 to 120 degrees Fahrenheit. A single AA or CR123 battery provides up to about 40 hours of runtime with the infrared illuminator off.
Image Intensifier Tube
The NL1 version uses a Gen 2+ Level 1 image intensifier tube with traditional green phosphor. It is the entry point into the PVS-14E line, giving you a true military-pattern monocular at a lower price than Gen 3 models.
Green phosphor has been the standard look of night vision for decades. The human eye is very sensitive to green, so detail is easy to pick out, and many users find it comfortable for long sessions. A Level 1 Gen 2+ tube performs best with some ambient light from the moon, stars or distant sky glow; in very dark conditions under heavy cover, the built-in infrared illuminator helps.
Features
The monocular shuts off automatically when flipped up out of view on a head or helmet mount and turns back on when returned to position. Manual gain control lets you adjust brightness for conditions, and an automatic bright-light cut-off protects the tube. LED indicators in the field of view show low battery, infrared on and excessive light. Electronic polarity switching means the battery works in either orientation, and the built-in IR illuminator helps in total darkness.
What Is Included
AGM includes a head mount assembly and adapter, brow pad, eye cup, soft carrying case, daylight filter, shoulder strap, diopter lens cap, sacrificial window, demist shield, lens paper, manual and battery. Optional accessories include 3x and 5x afocal magnifiers, MICH and PASGT helmet mounts, a J-arm dovetail adapter and a long-range IR illuminator.
Who Benefits Most
This version suits hunters, landowners, campers and first-time night vision buyers who want dependable performance for walking, scouting and observation without paying for a Gen 3 tube.
Honest Limitations
At 1x magnification, any PVS-14 is a navigation and observation tool rather than a long-range identification device; afocal magnifiers help but narrow the view. Helmet mounts are sold separately. Night vision image intensifiers are export-controlled and are sold for use within the United States. AGM covers the PVS-14E with a three-year warranty.
