AGM PVS-14 3AW1 Night Vision Monocular - FOM 1400 to 1800

Premium White Phosphor Night Vision Monocular

The AGM PVS-14 3AW1 Night Vision Monocular - FOM 1400 to 1800 delivers exceptional clarity for demanding tactical operations. This Gen 3 auto-gated system minimizes halo effects in changing light, ensuring you see every critical detail. Whether hunting or navigating, the white phosphor screen provides superior contrast and depth perception for total mission success.

Designed for the harshest environments, this waterproof monocular features manual gain control for precise brightness adjustments. It is the definitive tool for professionals requiring military-standard reliability and high-performance night vision in the field.

Ideal for tactical professionals and serious hunters who operate in variable lighting conditions. The auto-gating technology protects the intensifier tube from exposure to bright light—such as streetlights or vehicle headlights—while manual gain lets you optimize image brightness for visual comfort. This makes it perfect for seamless transitions between urban and rural environments.

Casual users wanting inexpensive gear may find this professional unit overbuilt. Additionally, those needing heat detection for game recovery should choose thermal optics, as this device relies strictly on ambient light amplification rather than thermal signatures.

Gen 3 Auto-Gated White Phosphor — Provides crisp black-and-white imagery for superior contrast and reduced eye strain.

Manual Gain Control — Manually adjust image brightness to optimize detail in changing ambient light conditions.

Integrated IR Illuminator — Delivers immediate short-range lighting for map reading or operating in zero light.

Military-Grade Waterproofing — Rugged mill-spec design ensures reliable performance in rain, snow, and extreme temperatures.

Versatile Mounting Systems — seamless transitions between head, helmet, and weapon mounts for mission flexibility.

Bright Light Cut-Off — Automatically shuts down the unit to protect the intensifier tube from exposure damage.

Strengths: The Gen 3 white phosphor tube offers incredible clarity and significantly reduced eye strain. Its versatile mounting options and manual gain control make it a top-tier choice for adaptable, professional-grade night operations in any environment.

Limitations: While excellent, the single-tube design limits depth perception compared to dual goggles. It requires some ambient light to function, meaning absolute total darkness requires the use of the active IR illuminator for visibility.
