I've used friends night vision set ups both monocular and binocular. I
now would like to get a set and want to make the wisest purchase
decision. What brands do you recommend? For long periods of usage is
the binocular much easier on the eyes than the monocular? Should I
stay away from the Russian stuff? I want a Gen III system that works
well in the maritime environment. Where is a good, reliable place to
purchase them on the internet.

If you want something that works well in the marine environment, you
should look for an image stabilized version. But, I'm afraid you'll look
long and hard before finding image stabilized night vision optics. I
don't think the technology has gotten there yet.

So in lieu of that, what you need is a generation three device that can
be used hands on or hands free. It needs to be a military spec unit.
Binoculars are a waste at night because you have little or no depth
perception looking through binoculars at night anyway. Better off with a
binocular at your eyes and a monocular at the business end. Very
important is auto brightness adjustment. For boat use you will often be
going from dark to bright lights in the background.

Check out this device. It's what you should be looking for if you want a
top-shelf unit. https://gpssignal.com/PVS-7_DELTA_KIT.htm

This is better for marine applications, mounted on the Pulpit, nice
display in the wheelhouse.

That would be nice on the bow of a large, stable ship. But I'm afraid
you'd only see a blur with it mounted on the bow of a small sailboat.

Nice but it might be a bit battery intensive for a small sailboat.
