Armasight N-14 Ghost Night Vision Monocular Review
The Armasight N-14 is the new standard by which all compact multi-use monoculars will be judged in future. The N-14 uses optics that are equal to or better than current Military issue night vision units, built into a tough, compact and ergonomic composite housing. We built this body to surpass MIL-SPEC-810 specifications, and so the Armasight N-14 can withstand salt water, rain, high humidity, extremes of temperature and still give unsurpassed levels of performance. The Armasight N-14 is available with a whole array of accessories like 3, 5 and 8X magnification lenses for mid-long range viewing, head or helmet mounts to allow the unit to be worn as a mono-goggle, various different weapon mounts for tactical or hunting use and detachable IR illuminator for long range use.
