The color split is called chromatic aberration, and it happens because different wavelengths are deflected at different amounts. It’s the same phenomenon that produces rainbows

Was literally just recommend this wow so new so clean

I’ll definitely be building my own kit now. I’ve been looking into just some cheap gin ones right now just to get used to it. But at the end of the day for a few hundred bucks it seems like I can just build my own. And to have a dual set up I definitely should.

Have you considered using “Essentium HTN CF25” filament? It claims to be as strong as aluminum. It seems like a good choice because of the amount of work and quality you are putting into these things. I would pay extra for the strongest possible housing and highest quality parts. Might as well go all out if I am already spending the money, and it would still be cheaper than the analog equivalent.

I’ll definitely check it out!

Parts ordered :) is there diagrams out for wires?

Do you sell a complete kit with everything included? Like everything you need to build these?

Going to make this on my resin printer. got a discord to post updates?

Hey quick question, what’s depth perception like with these? Thanks

if i buy the housing online, will it be super smooth like in the video, or rigid

We also want to use a battery nvg holder so is that possible ? Let me know how to order the kit

if i spend the 900 on the site to build them do i get everything to get these up and running?

Could you fit this setup inside some moc pvs-31 ?

Can you build these as a monocular?

not sure if it's been asked but can you tell us what's the tan filament you're using in the other vids? It's really nice :D

Honestly these units would be pretty sick if you guys switch to sony imx starvis sensors. Esp32 and some Arduino code or even plaform IO to code it will do wonders. Im currently working on something using a imx starvis 400 series of sensors. They're expensive but the lux and fps is worth it. 40 fps 1080P with substantially more lux sensitivity due to the sensor being a 1/8 inch.

I can’t confirm but I’m almost certain the cameras used are starvis sensors. The reason we’re sticking with off the shelf FPV cams is the simplicity of the build. A lot of people struggle with just soldering a huge part of this build is to make it repeatable by anyone with a brain

@@Gooney_Tunes the majority of people building these are looking for budget (under 1k) night vision adding an MCU into the mix will really complicate things, you would be surprised with how many people don’t understand basic wiring, voltage amperage parallel, series, etc. for the foreseeable future I plan to stick with the current setup. I do have an analog housing on the way as well which targets that 2-5k budget. The issue is the cost of sensors drastically increases. The syonix 1” sensor is commercially available but at a much higher price than the $70 sensors currently used. IMO the money will be much better spent on the thermal fusion device which is also in the works

So the Charlie is just a more waterproof Delta that has a larger O-ring? What is the size?

@vonscherfarms925

2 жыл бұрын

I don’t know the exact size atm I will get back to you in that! But it has some slight changes. Charlie doesn’t require supports for the tube. The display is shifter forward more and it is better waterproofed. The bridge also had a small redesign from the original Deltas which makes the dovetail much stronger

Hey, any plans of getting some more footage through these out? I've been interested in this for a few months but have been on the fence mostly due to the lack of knowing what I'd be seeing.

@@vonscherfarms925 ok cool that’s interesting. First of all, thank you for all your hard work and engineering. I’m really considering this. I’m a veteran so I’ve used real gen 3 nods before, and I wanted my own, but I got a stupid toy digital night vision that isn’t really worth a darn. I can’t quite justify spending more for nods than I did on my car, and so this is a really appealing way to get into night vision. Some questions: what is the lag like? What is the frame rate of the camera and screens, and do you have any specs on the latency in ms? Or just, subjectively, is it noticeable? Is it laggy enough to interfere with tasks at all? Second, how would you say they compare to gen 3 tubes? In terms of lowlight performance and clarity?
