    Great video! One thing I thought I’d mention is katanas (and I believe tantos) don’t have ip68 rating so not as water/dust/shock proof as some of the other offerings, something to consider if you do night schenanigans around water. That being said I’d love a tanto as a light weight handheld and for camera work like you said!

    Having the AGM NVG40 in the comparison but not the 1431 mk2 is criminal :'( What did L3 to you guys? Did they really "contacted" you because of the 1431? I mean it's one of the best housing options on the market.

    Only thing that I can see that was missed honestly was the Jerry line, however to my understanding that is in uncertain waters in regards to potential sanctions being placed against infraray/iray, even though when looked through the scope of the US market they would be sitting next to those AGM NVG40’s Apart from that it’s a solid vid lad, all the best from 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

    @@kevin11288 don't think the high gain tunes are worth getting? I would genuinely like to know your opinion on them, I would like US tubes, but at the price point, with gain now at and past some Gen 3 tubes along with better contrast, high light resolution, and more durable in terms of burning, and I know out of band capabilities really aren't a huge benefit but Photonis has it, what would be worth the extra couple thousand dollars? I know the GAAS tubes have a few thousand more hours of like typically than the multi alkaline tubes but other than that? US tubes would be cool, but again with the high gain tubes achieving around the same gain value as L3 tubes, I am hard pressed to spend the extra money I had some GP Elbits before and the were a little brighter than my Echo+ tubes, but I do strongly prefer the image of the Echoes, granted the Echoes are higher spec than the Elbits were outside of gain.
