Description
The AGM PVS-14E APW Monocular (AGM item 11PE41284124111) is a military-pattern night vision monocular built on the proven PVS-14 design and fitted with a Gen 2+ APW, FOM 1600+ 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 APW 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 APW version uses a high-grade Gen 2+ image intensifier tube with a figure of merit (FOM) of 1600 or more and white phosphor. It pairs strong low-light performance with the crisp black-and-white image that many night vision users now prefer.
FOM combines resolution and signal-to-noise ratio, so an FOM 1600+ tube produces a cleaner, sharper picture than entry-level Gen 2+. White phosphor adds natural-looking contrast that makes shapes, shadows and terrain easier to read. Together they make this one of the best values in the PVS-14E line.
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, preppers and search volunteers who want white phosphor and strong performance on darker nights at a price below most Gen 3 units.
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.
