This unit features a Gen 3 autogated green phosphor tube, and while it isn’t an L3 or Elbit tube, the performance is excellent in dark, rural environments. I’ll compare it side-by-side with a standard PVS-14 housing, weigh both units, explain the dual-battery design, and show actual night footage from deep woods testing in West Virginia. I also cover an important (and frustrating) detail about the auto-on / auto-off feature, how it only works with AGM’s proprietary mount, and why that matters if you plan to run third-party helmet mounts. If you’re a prepper, night-vision buyer, or someone considering AGM’s E-Model PVS-14, this video will help you decide if the compact housing tradeoffs are worth it. ⏱️ Chapters 00:00 – Overview of the AGM PVS14E (Gen 3 E-Model) 00:55 – E-Model vs Standard PVS-14: Size & Weight Comparison 01:17 – Weight Measurements (With & Without Battery) 01:52 – Compact Lens Assembly & Housing Differences 02:14 – Dual-Battery Design (AA & CR123) Explained 03:54 – IR Illuminator, Manual Gain & Tube Options 04:26 – Auto-On / Auto-Off Feature & Proprietary Mount Issue 06:41 – Real-World Gen 3 Performance Footage (Garage & Woods) 07:58 – Autogating Whine, Final Thoughts & Closing ?
