Could try putting a lens to reduces the magnification. But these are digital NV so there's usually a delay between real world and the projected image on the screen, and because of this, it is not suited for walking around. It's actually nauseating for me.

I think the bottom line is. It's very low cost and it's a lot better than nothing. You can see in the dark for only $200.00, it sounds even better if you look at it this way.

I kept seeing ads for this on Facebook, so I'm very glad to see you reviewing this. I was gonna buy a Nightfox Prowl based off your review, but I may just wait for this. I've been looking for a good replacement for my Nightfox Cape.

Thanks David for putting up this review. We are using the SiOnyx Pro units to shoot the night sky on clear nights. It works well for us, but 720p is a bit of a limitation. The SiOnyx has an exposure control setting on the camera to reduce or increase gain.

I am certain that it will be a great until for a lot of uses - and giving way better performance than the SiOnyx. I've used other digital NV binoculars and cameras that are really nice, but when you point them to the night sky to record stars, the auto gain ramps up making the sky too light, and adding way too much noise. If there is a way to adjust some of the settings manually to control exposure and shutter speed, it would kill the SiOnyx, for those looking to record the night sky. . . and the much lower price sure doesn't hurt either . Please let us know how you like the unit. @@ebenezergeezer

What is the lowest magnification it has?

Sweet back ground music there 8:42

Do you know when the Tripods will be sent out that backers won ?

Looks ok for the price but the internal battery, weight, and lack of light blocking (the splash from your viewfinder) makes it impractical for mounted wear. Also, I dunno about ai enhancement... what if for example it decides that patch looks like (country x) flag and enhances it - and you select your target incorrectly. or it's sure that stump is a person... does the ai do any image fill or only color enhancement? this makes me wanna throw some imagers and a pi together and run it through opencv

Looks promising.

Better then the Sionyx Pro?

David I get the sense that the device works on the Still Camera's Color Infrared Techniques. By Just removing the IR Filter on a color point and shoot camera would give color, but not true color.

Hi man, this is COMPLETELY off topic, but i saw one of your previous videos on how to treat a scratched and scuffed watch.

I’d say the biggest difference is that this one actually exists and has videos and reviews like this one, showing it actually doing what is claimed. The Yashica is very suspect. I’ve seen no reviews, and no demonstrations of a working unit, unless I missed something. And the videos that they used in their marketing showing the night vision even say in fine print at the bottom that they weren’t taken with the Yashica. I placed an order for the AKASO yesterday and I’m looking forward to getting it. I am accumulating high resolution equipment that can see in the dark, IR, and full spectrum to do some sky watching and recording. I’m going to get that bombshell high res UFO shot that the world needs to see.

Tapo color pro security cameras are kinda like that...neat

I'm Waiting For There 2nd Unit To Be Released .... The Seemor Hiney ! 😜

whats the price??? most Image Intensifying goggles are very expensive.....

I recon it supports TF (microsd) cards up to 2TB because the microSDXC spec reachest 2TB. I recon they may say 512 because not all 1TB drives necessarily have backwards compatibility with the UHS-I version I predict the goggles use (they will run on a faster USH-II version. Regardless, its rare to see SD cards larger than that price anyway

It would definitely excel in a rifle scope scenario I mean if it was made to be a rifle scope because that ability to be not detected and still use the unit that's priceless

Well, it's not passive IR (you still need an IR light source to illuminate), so not really good IR, but, for the price, this device is ok. It's way better than some apps for a smartphone and way cheaper than FLIR. I guess it's worth to take a closer look.

Unlike binoculars, you can't use it if you're nearsighted because the image is displayed on the screen so you have to have it away from your eyes until the image is clear.

Also, curious about this for driving at night? is this something that would work well for that? Or not so much? Lol.

@AenesidemusOZ

4 ай бұрын

The lack of binary vision makes driving a problem; you have zero depth perception unless you have undergone a lot of training with the equipment, like the military pilots do.

why did it take so long to attache a phone to binoculars?

There is a need for a night vision camera with better resolution than the current crop of affordable night vision cameras (eg Sionyx Aurora). Better resolution, better low light sensitivity, false color is very useful too. Needs to be tripod mountable and run for at least 4 hours on its internal battery. I know that this device is not what I want, but I hope that night vision manufacturers read these comments.

I'm curious if you can see many stars with this. Can you do a little stargazing and tell me if it's clear and crisp or not?

You don’t mention the zoom setting for the device other than it would be nice to have a 1X wide field of view.

Thanks again for the review, but this device doesn’t seem to have the most important feature of optical zoom I would want in such a device. Thanks.

As someone who just found out that I stand a good chance of losing all of my eyesight, or at least a good portion of it and I already have NO night vision whatsoever, devices like this are very interesting to me, just unfortunately the price tag makes it out of reach. Those who suffer vision impairments usually aren't working and are on disability but this is something that these companies should be exploring as it represents a market that is in dire need of some devices to assist their everyday living. Not everything needs to be about hunting and "wargames". Cheers.

The sensor should be running at 120 fps 4K resolution and use a proper 4K display in the viewfinder. The focal length of the lenses SHOULD be at 24 mm to get around 220 degrees of wide field of view for CQC uses and for walking, riding bikes, cars, marine vessels and aircraft! The 120 fps using a real-time Huse/saturation/luminance/contrast plus unsharp mask plus 2D-XY SOBEL/CANNY edge detection will give the best image quality!
