@@danteintense5164 why in other videos of pvs-69 pano the sanded pvs-14 eyepieces are closer together compared to this video? I noticed in the stl file to make the cutting guide that there are 2 different versions, I am a little confused...
@@Zlovia as mentioned in the video’s description, the maker of this pano in the video used a different type of lens which were "Plossl 25 mm telescope eyepiece". They are plenty of people doing it with other lenses like Plossl 25 mm telescope eyepieces, cardboard vr lenses, and fma gpnvg prop’s lenses. They modified the eyepiece housing to fit those types of lenses in it and to get it to just work as fine as Pvs 14 lenses but some can have a double sided image which is annoying to have. To counter this, most makers used epoxy or some other liquid that can be used to polished the glass to get rid of the double image.
The reason I chose PVS-14 lenses is the wider availability. The lenses in a real set of GPNVGs is also 40 degrees but they have a different mounting style and are unobtanium.
@@nordicnight these use the runcam night eagle 3 v2 right? so far my testing with that cam has been really subpar. im better off letting my eyes adjust to the dark than use the cam without an IR flashlight. Hows your experience been?
Fuck yeah
Any chance you have some pictures/video showing how you assembled the eyepiece portion?
Build video for the lenses please!
The lenses are two pvs 14 eyepieces that had been sanded down at a specific angle.

Any reason for not using pano style lenses instead of pvs14 lenses? Or is the end result not enough of a difference to matter?
Pano styles lenses are supposed to have a greater field of view compared to the 40 degrees of pvs14s

How good does the image fuse?
Not perfect. I use night vision for hiking so it doesnt make much difference.
@@nordicnight ah ,ok
@@nordicnightI think you might have gotten non collimating lenses

@@drgreenthumnb This build isn't digital, it is using actual IIT.
beautiful, are the files updated to include the retention bands?
No, got those on cults3d.com
@@nordicnight Would you mind dropping the exact link? I tried several search modifiers to no avail. Awesome work!

Hej! Vart köper du dina tuber ifrån?
How did you attach the objectives? The files dont include threads.
It was included in my file.
Its in front of tube housing. Its the one that looks like a cone.
Panos are cool until you have to wear them for more than 30 minutes.
What are those lenses?
lenses from a Plossl 25 mm telescope eyepiece
@@LackLusterMedia no?
