Brad (verified owner) –
I went with the hand-picked option. The experience was AMAZING. I ordered on Saturday night after speaking with Ben I think his name was. On Tuesday I got a text from Kevin with the tubes he selected with pictures of the tubes AND the data sheets making sure I was satisfied with the selection. I asked a few questions about it and I was assured he would use these same tubes in his personal device. The build was complete the same day and even shipped out that same day. I got everything I ordered on Thursday in a well-packaged box. The night vision device itself was shipped in a surprisingly sturdy black case. I powered them on the first night I had them and WOW they are amazing. Thanks for the awesome product and answering all of my questions.
