Night vision accessories Q&A

[Red1]

1.Looking for a ways to attach my pvs 14 to my phone or dlsr for a road trip so I can pass it around the car and still see what my group is seeing as I only have one.

2. Would a sionyx be a good option for night time animal viewing to hand off to party members (I do have IR light)

3. Is there a place to rent thermals or other night vision.
Any specific set ups that are recommended for Yellowstone?

No help on #1 & #2, but Ultimate Night Vision rents nv and thermals. If your intent is to see critters at a distance at night time in Yellowstone, go with a thermal and one that's at least a 640 and has a higher base magnification.

For the PVS-14, look at phone scope adapters like Wilcox or inexpensive MOD Armory bridges, they'll let you clip it to a phone or DSLR for group viewing.

A Sionyx with an IR light is great for casual wildlife spotting, won't match Gen 3 tubes, but very shareable.

Yes, some NV/thermal dealers and outfitters rent units, check Kenzie's, Ultimate Night Vision, or local gun shops.

For Yellowstone: tripod mount whatever you bring, pack extra batteries, and stay way back from the critters.

Thanks for all the tips! And definitely going to stay far away from the wild life.
