I have spent a significant amount of time under a single PVS 14 and have never encountered a focusing issue. I've always focused the ocular lens first to as clear of a picture possible, then focused the objective lens for the final corrections. When patrolling, I generally only ever messed with the objective lens in order to see something closer to my NVG and then would set it back to a distance setting. Recently, my broke as f reserve unit managed to get several PVS14 bridge mounts. I have attached an image of the bridge mount below. It is essentially a mutant dual j arm combo. Again, I can not emphasize how broke the Marine Corps Reserves is, and this is the cheap solution to prevent dudes from needing to buy new Norotos mounts for a dove tail adaptor.
I have probably less than 20 hours of time under dual PVS14's at this point, but am encountering a troubling issue. I focus my two devices separately, powering one on at a time to focus each as described above, then turn both on and match the gain and make any minor adjustments. While wearing the duals 14's, I definitely have increased depth perception, a better situational awareness, and generally feel more confident in what I can see. The issue arose when I conducted a few down device drills. Essentially we're practices lifting the NVG's, activating a white light, and engaging through an EO-Tech as if one or both of the PVS14s crapped the bed. When I lift my device and activate the white light on my rifle, my eyes feel like they are crossed a little bit and I get some vertigo. I noticed this feeling a little bit when I first started wearing them around the drill center and would take them off and I do not have any strange feelings or eye strain when wearing the duals 14's. It seems like the longer I wear them the more the "cross eyed" feeling persists when I go from Duals 14's back to the mark 1 eyeball.
With these mounts, we can not change the distance between PVS14 A and PVS14 B, and I am wondering if that could have something to do with it. Does anyone have any recommendations for anything I should change? Should I look into a different bridge mount to purchase myself, or just keep waiting for the PVS15's/PVS31's that have been promised for 6 years.
