Affordable Night Vision Systems: New NNVT Tubes at Custom Night Vision
At Custom Night Vision, we’re always looking for ways to make night vision more accessible without sacrificing performance. If you’ve been searching for entry-level or budget night vision, this is big news: we’ve just received our first shipment of 11769-formatted NNVT tubes.
These new tubes open the door for high-quality, white phosphor night vision systems at lower price points—while still offering the reliability and optical clarity that users demand.
What Are NNVT 11769 Tubes?
The new 11769 NNVT tubes come with an external gain control cable (EGAC), also known as a pigtail. This feature allows you to connect to compatible housings and have fully functional manual gain control.
Previously, most of our stock was 10160-formatted tubes, which don’t include this pigtail. With the 11769 format, we can now offer more versatility and more user control in a wide range of housings.
Major Price Drops on NNVT Tubes and Systems
We’ve also reduced pricing on all NNVT tubes and equipped systems—making them some of the best deals in the night vision market.
- Molded Katana with NNVT tubes: Previously $5,000+, now just $4,495 before tax.
- PVS-14 with NNVT tubes in a mil-spec housing: Just $1,999.97 before tax.
- MH1 with NNVT tubes and mil-spec optics: Available for under $5,100.
That means you can now own a sub-$2,000 PVS-14 or a sub-$4,500 binocular system with real mil-spec Fujinon optics.
Tube Performance: NNVT4 Specifications
The tubes we’re offering are all NNVT4 white phosphor with specs that meet or exceed typical factory standards:
- FOM: 1600+ (compared to NNVT4’s baseline 1400+)
- Resolution: 68 lp/mm
- SNR: 24–26 on average
- Cosmetics: Nearly flawless—most tubes are clean with no visible spots
In short, these aren’t just affordable—they’re high-performing.
Upgrade Potential
One of the biggest advantages of buying a Custom Night Vision-built system is upgradability. Unlike imported factory units, our builds use housings and optics you can keep long-term.
- Buy an NNVT system today
- Use it, enjoy it, and upgrade later
- Swap in higher-end tubes when you’re ready—without replacing your housing or optics
This makes entry-level systems an even smarter investment for the long run.
Warranty and Reliability
Every system we build is backed by strong warranty support:
- Nocturn Industries and Low Light Innovations housings: Lifetime, no-questions-asked warranty
- Other in-house builds: Long-term, comprehensive coverage
That means you get not only affordability, but also peace of mind.
Final Thoughts
With the arrival of 11769 NNVT tubes, we can now offer some of the most affordable white phosphor night vision systems on the market—without cutting corners on quality. Whether you’re looking for a sub-$2,000 monocular or a sub-$4,500 binocular, we’ve got you covered.
