#20 After Dark - Everything Night Vision: NODs, Lasers, Accessories, Illuminators, Brands, Prices & More!
About this episode
Welcome back to Iron Sights After Dark! In this episode, I sat down with JP and Bryant Pham to discuss night vision and practical application for the civilian. Bryant is my go-to resource for any questions I have when it comes to selecting the right equipment and he did a great job in this show of breaking down the different options when it comes down to:
-Single vs. Dual Tubes
-Helmets
-Accessories
-Firearms
-Green vs. White Phosphor
-Infrared Lights
-Lasers & More!
This episode will walk you through the equipment, mistakes we’ve made and different products we’ve tried along the way. If you’re new to this game there’s a lot to learn before dropping thousands of dollars on gear. We’re just three civilians who wanted to share our experience for everyone else who seems overwhelmed and wants an introduction on how to get started with night vision. This free resource should answer your questions and as always - reach out to any of us on Instagram or YouTube for specific questions you need answered. We are here to help.
