Armasight PVS-7 QS MG Night Vision Goggle NAMPVS7001Q7D-1 Review
he PVS-7 is the most widely recognized and dependable United States Military night vision goggle system available. The AN/PVS-7B/D system has proven itself in combat due to its rugged, ergonomic design. The PVS-7 is equipped with Automatic Brightness Control (ABC), which automatically adjusts the brightness of the image tube to achieve the highest quality image resolution under varying light conditions, as well as a built-in infrared illuminator that allows the user to operate in total darkness. The PVS-7 also has an excessive-light cut-off feature that protects the image tube from bright light sources, and a flip-up shut-off feature when used with the optional helmet mount assembly. The PVS-7 is equipped with two LED indicators: yellow for a low battery, and red to alert the operator that the IR illuminator is on. Both are displayed on the eyepiece screen. Lightweight, rugged, and versatile, the Armasight PVS-7 can be hand-held, head-mounted, and helmet-mounted. The dismounted goggle can also be used as an excellent long-range viewer with optional afocal magnifier lenses.
