AGM PVS-14 3AL2 Night Vision Monocular Green Phosphor Gen 3

Helmet-Mounted Night Vision Monocular

The AGM PVS-14 3AL2 Night Vision Monocular Green Phosphor Gen 3 sets the standard for adaptability, allowing you to dominate the darkness with military-grade confidence. Whether you are navigating rugged terrain during a hog hunt or conducting tactical surveillance in near-total darkness, this Gen 3 night vision monocular turns night into your advantage, delivering the reliable clarity you need to execute your mission safely and effectively.

Designed for the serious operator, this system combines proven Green Phosphor performance with a robust, weatherproof housing. It transitions seamlessly between handheld, helmet, or weapon mounts. With manual gain control and an integrated IR illuminator, you maintain total command over your environment.

This Gen 3 night vision monocular is engineered for tactical professionals and serious nocturnal hunters. It is the ideal choice for users requiring a reliable, hands-free navigation or hog-hunting solution, where durability and adaptable gain control are critical to mission success.

Conversely, this unit may not be suitable for casual hobbyists on a strict budget, as the cost reflects professional capability. Operators requiring Unfilmed White Phosphor for zero-light subterranean conditions might prefer higher-tier configurations suited for those specific niche applications.

Gen 3 Green Phosphor Tube — Delivers high-resolution imaging and exceptional light amplification for clear target identification in deep cover.

Manual Gain Control — Allows you to instantly adjust image brightness to match changing ambient light, reducing eye fatigue.

Compact & Rugged Design — Weighing just 12.4 ounces, this unit withstands harsh weather and rough handling without weighing you down.

Integrated IR Illuminator — Provides immediate short-range illumination for map reading or equipment checks in zero-light conditions.

Helmet & Weapon Mountable — Offers versatile mounting options for hands-free operations or direct weapon alignment during tactical engagements.

Bright Light Cut-Off — Automatically protects the high-quality intensifier tube from damage when exposed to sudden bright light sources.

Strengths: The AGM PVS-14 3AL2 excels in versatility, offering legitimate Gen 3 autogated technology at a competitive price. Its manual gain control is a standout feature often missing in this tier, giving hunters and tactical users a distinct edge in variable lighting conditions.

Limitations: While robust, the "Level 2" designation indicates the tube may have minor cosmetic spots in Zone 2, though these rarely affect utility. Additionally, the optical glass is not top-tier mil-spec, which may result in slightly less edge-to-edge clarity for discerning purists.
