I am TNVC staff and this was provided to me for testing & evaluation.
Fun game.
Drink every time nightwalker says "dove tail"
Feels like I was watching a sham-wow infomercial! So much info!
Super informative. Thanks.
🤙🏼
I’ve gotten my breach and 14 to line up just like u did on kvc with dual dove tail and k clip love content learn a lot from u thnx
Right on 🤙
@@NITEWALKER-NIGHTVISION can u please make a vid about collimation explaining and or demonstrate 🙏
What were the component numbers you used to build your setup?
Thanks for taking time to make these vids! Im glad you have access to the store's stock and share your findings!
My exact setup! PVS14 on left eye and breach in the right due to the 14 battery pack obstructing the breach of run in the opposite configuration.
I am waiting on a NOX 18 mm and have this bridge on that order. I was hoping to use the NOX with my PVS14 if they both can fit and the weight isn't too bad, can't wait to find out! thanks for the video.
👍
i ve heard NOX 18 is factory lined up to work with PVS-14 on bridge but i am not sure to which dovetail PVS-14 arm they lined
i found a picture from ar15 and it's clearly says it's wont work on wilcox bridge with wilcox shoe. Other shoe may fit but wilcox one is tooo far to rear lens. Theme name is "How to mount Nox and PVS-14?"
@@yaneemdetey The best bet to line them up the same is to use an OSS shoe or maybe a D-14 arm instead of the Wilcox bridge j-arm
Hey, it’s been a year now. How do you like the Nox 18 and PVS 14 bridged on the Wilcox? I’m interested in bridging mine.
I used to know a guy named Wilcox when I was in the Army. Some of the guys called him Donkey Balls, 'cause apparently he had donkey balls. I cannot confirm....
Bạn chia sẻ video thiết bị rất tốt, thank you
Nightwalker do you prefer this over the Mod Armory D-14? I just watch your video on that too, great stuff!
I do because of the IPD adjustment, however, I like the KVC is better than both when it comes to QD bridges
awesome video! Quick question - if I only want a single PVS-14, is it possible/good to use the binocular system outlined here, or is it better just to go from the G24 through standard J-arm to the PVS-14? Thanks
You could use this set up for a single but it’s on the expensive side. If you want an articulating arm, check out the noisefighters AX14-PRO
@@NITEWALKER-NIGHTVISION thanks.. I ended up getting a normal J-arm... but I will admit that bridge system looks nice.. if I ever need to put the PVS on my gun rail, I might go with the bridge.
Anyway to get ahold of you at TNVC to go over a order I want to place? Just want to make sure I’m going to order everything right. Or email.
Call the main line and ask for Will 909.796.7000
Is there such a thing as a scope ring that is attached to a dovetail, in order to attach a round scope-like thermal to a bridge system and a G 24 helmet mount?
Not that I know of
Or do a review on the Wilcox dual mount with the cutoff button from tnvc please
Do you prefer the KVC bridge over the wilcox, or is there another configuration you'd use.
For a dual band setup the KVC is better but they are virtually unobtainable.
The best bridge for a dual band setup using the Breach or the new Armasight sidekick is the Rayvn Rail.
I did a video on it. Much less expensive and made strictly as a dual band bridge.
@NITEWALKER-NIGHTVISION Thanks for the quick reply. Keep being awesome.
@@Zhovm3 🤙🏼
@NITEWALKER, if you could only afford one, would you get the PVS 14 or the Thermal?
Great videos by the way. Keep em coming.
Sorry been busy busy. Great question. Depends on what you want but for me living in the boonies I’d take a thermal monocular over a PVS-14 if I could only have one. I hate hypotheticals though because most guys end up with more than one. It happens 😉
@@NITEWALKER-NIGHTVISION I can't afford more than one right now. We do a lot of camping but it's getting more and more dangerous out there. We had an intruder last time we camped and I swore I'd pick something up. It's not like many of these places let you do payments. Thanks for responding!
@@DigitalCleaner 10-4. Thermal will be better for quickly seeing if there’s anything outside your camp. night vision will be better for maneuvering around if it’s worn head mounted.
@@NITEWALKER-NIGHTVISION Thanks.
@@NITEWALKER-NIGHTVISION I was also going to ask, do you still sell this equipment? Where should I go to buy it?
What do you think of the NL914C battery pack?
I like them for the weight savings if running two bridged -14s. It’s not a huge weight savings but some is better than none.
Functionality-wise, the standard pack’s gain knob is better at adjusting gain versus the buttons and the standard power knob is better for IR signaling. But if you don’t use the gain much or have a need for IR signaling then it’s a wash.
The dual fuel capability (AA or CR123A) is a great feature.
it's a very particular setup... That bridge also have two more types of arm, that one for "Flir M24" (in fact it's just fixed dovetail and it wont work with foldable one as they not lined up at all) and the mini n seas one. M24 is something isnt worth the mention unless you like fixed units like rnvg or anvis and the mini n seas bridge... oh f/ck i love the mini n seas bridge. It's a little heavy and overengineered but the bino is just very solid, you can put the coti in middle (hi, PSQ-36!) and you can control with easy just by stowing/unstowing it, never touch the switches. Only downside it's heavy enough (even so still less than 2xPVS-14) and not able to turn on/off while being up.
Do the Mod Armory D14 QD J-arms work with the Wilcox bridge dovetail? Reason being it should get that battery compartment a little more out of the way than the Wilcox arms.
They should work being that they’re dovetail but I don’t have a D-14 to test however so can’t confirm 100%.
👍👍
I still use this ..
Does the auto shutoff turn both 14s off?
We miss you Batman. Make more content. Stop working. XD
Hey Nitewalker, I made a PVS14 + PTQ136 mount for 3D printing, it's been about as good as it gets for using both devices at once. If you're interested I can send you files or something.
Nice 👍 I don’t have a printer but would love to see some pics

The overlay is excellent if my brain plays nice, had to have specific angles and go through trial/error for the IPD. Articulates and folds super flat against the helmet.
@@Meph648 that’s awesome brother nice work. That’s the unfortunate downside to this setup is that it’s not a “true” fusion you can rely on like a COTI/ECOTI but when it works it works pretty good
@@NITEWALKER-NIGHTVISION Agreed, I'm upgrading to DTNVG and a Jerry C5. The setup was cool but yeah I want something more practical.
@Scott After trying all the mounting options, my printed one is by far the best since I fitted it specifically for my eyes and head shape. I used it for some pretty hard hiking in very dense brush, it got a lot of branches and a couple of falls, still worked fine. The print settings and type of resin used makes a huge difference, but the Breach itself really pushed me to go to the full setup with dual tubes + COTI, I just found the Breach to not have any setting that worked for me versus a COTI's settings for palette/outline, not to mention how the overlay is a true fusion versus the psychedelic mind-overlay of the PVS+PTQ.
My NV has MUM14 housing. Should bridge meant for two MUM's function with MUM14 & Breach? There is no way of getting Wilcox here in EU. I would have to order the bridge from other country so it's not possible to test before buying.
Have you tried IT already i have the same problem so im looking for bridge system for MUM 14 too
@@martindvorak2867 I ended up with Mod Armory D-14 bridge with dovetail adapters. It was pretty costly peace of metal, but availability of other products around here made that only reasonable choice. I would say MUM-14 bridge should work, if this works with identical adapters. I got this setup th-cam.com/video/BfFyR-QTroc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=KxLsw3aPSC1gjp64
@@martindvorak2867Steange, I thought I replied already.
I got Mod Armory D-14 bridge with dovetail adapters due it being only easily available option at that time. In theory MUM-14 bridge should work equally well. Maybe even lighters without adapters.
Does this work with NVision NOX?
Lost me when I saw the a la cart prices. Really seems like a pay to play hobby/ tool. If it was titanium, I could understand the price but it's aluminum!
Yeah they’re spendy lol
Overcomplicated and overpriced
for being the best PVS-14 bridge it's not a big deal. The only bridge that i found as stable as dedicated binocular and the reason it's so good is Wilcox Arm that fixing 14 straight. Yeah, it's heavy as fuck, controls are complicated and on/off buttons not working (at least for me), but it's really solid, not wobling and easy to stow/unstow.
Overpriced yes, but not overcomplicated. All the adjustments on there most people can benefit from. That said, it is only overpriced from the perspective that you have a CNC mill and can make your own bridge, If you don't, then the price is reasonable. Night vision is a small market. If you really want to save the bucks, you can always pick up a $90 chinese clone. Just bungie everything up well because it's just pot metal and can fail if you get too aggressive.
Hey brother thanks for the great channels and vids on both you inspired me to order a pvs 14 and im thinking of getting a mh 25 thermal to run on a bridge at the same time to try and achieve a thermal overlay effect. Do you know of any other options for themal 1x devices made in usa that i can run at the same time as the pvs 14 other than the breach thanks bro.
The N-Vision NOX is another option. However it’s a bit larger/heavier.
