I am currently looking at purchasing a PVS-14 for an upcoming series of tests I have to perform for a customer (testing tracer ammunition).
I want to use the PVS-14 as a basis for comparison in the results section of my presentation, I will be mounting a camera to it (I can handle the mount, so this is not something I need advice on) I just need to know what models are closest to the military models, and will be reflective of where current military technology is going.
TNVC was recommended, and since they are local to me, I will probably use them for a vendor (Unless you have someone else you can recommend for a cost savings)
The two models I'm looking at: https://tnvc.com/shop/tnvpvs-14-itt-gen3-pinnacle/
and: https://tnvc.com/shop/pvs-14-night-enforcer-gen3-pinnacle-night-vision-monocular/
My understanding between the two, is that the "Gen3 Pinnacle Night Enforcer" doesn't use the barrier film, however other than that, both units seem to be mostly identical. Is this correct?
Is there anything else I should worry about before buying? I mostly need to worry that this is going to give representative results of how the different tracer ammunition performs vs the common NVG platform.
