Id be curious to do this test in a dark room with nothing more than maybe the ambient light coming from under the door. digital can pretty much keep up with analog in higher light conditions, but where digital really becomes impractical is truly dark conditions with nothing but starlight, especially outside of the suburban/urban areas with light pollution.
All you have to do is use an illuminator.
@@Valoriusand have a big screaming light on your head so anyone with an nvd can spot you from a mile away. The goal it to be able to see with no light assistance other than starlight or moonlight. Even with a analog nvd you dont want to run an illuminator unless you really need to.
@@f.j.b. im not a pretend commando so that is not a concern for me. Rodents cant see IR illum.
@@f.j.b. yes, but using gen 3 you only really need to illuminate indoors. also most military use of NODs involve using IR strobes for IFF especially with aircraft.
With light coming in from under the door you can still see everything without the illuminator on.
Ever see anything strange with these things?
There's a story of early gen night vision that used a red filter instead of green. A unit was issued these experimental devices and supposedly saw "demons" and became greatly paranoid. The devices were no longer used after a month of field testing.
Lol no.
You sound like Nick Offerman
What display did you go with for the pvs 69?
That is seriously impressive. I too am curious to see what the range of these ends up being. Any chance you could get your hands on an opsin to compare?
Currently the problem with digital is that that at true starlight conditions, they suffer a pretty steep drop in performance when compared to analog tubes. In low/near starlight conditions they still can hold their own, but analog wins in resolution and intensification
These digital display models are actually being issued to Chinese infantry troops to try and match the US’s nighttime fighting capabilities. There is noticeable delay and lag at times, as well as general Chinese-quality control issues on these sub $1,000 units from what I’ve read/seen. I personally, would not trust them for even airsoft, as one BB could likely take out my Chinese model. But if you’re not a hard-user, sure - knock yourself out. They make for GREAT children’s gifts to overcome their fear of the dark.
@@moose2934where did you get that these are being issued to the chinese? Are you sure?
@@moose2934 these are definitely not being issued as the Chinese I can say the Chinese are probably making ones like this. Yes but these are way better built the lens are still glass they’re not plastic so a baby would definitely not hurt them. It would just be the housing that you would need to take care of in as long as you don’t fall which if you fall you’re gonna fuck up normal in Jesus anyway someway somehow, but either way the housing isn’t that expensive. But at least things are just as strong as anything else.
garbage propaganda lol not even dark out
Because he uses preset sensor and not suitable optics for this purposes. You can see my nv monocular on my channel, which is able to see in the dark.
It's dark. You can tell because it's most black in the video. Night vision is applicable here and the comparison between the two still works even if it's not moonless, overcast and he's in a dense forest.
@@user-qy4cf9ir5k do you have nods? there's not much point in using them in an environment like this. I live in a city too and if it were this bright I'd just use my eyes
@@tobyadog no kidding, my eyes can see a hell of a lot more than a digital camera so saying its dark on camera is pretty meaningless, especially after allowing your eyes to adjust to the dark.
No, it's digital. It requires lum. The full moon nights in TX are pretty bright. It absolutely will not work with no ambient light. Even top end nods need a little bit of ambient light.

How much is the price
you have a 3d printer?
@@basedmale4719 of course 😇
Pvs-69s I believe are $1,500.00 and a good Pvs-14 is around $4,500.00
I have seen some decent Pvs-14s for $3,200.00 and $3,600.00 though.
@@clownoftheredrose7592 they are around 700 my guy
So the biggest question I have after building one with the tft 2” display is screen resolution, the tft gives you the ability to identify things to about 50 yds my days of “needing”to PID things beyond a 100 yds are long gone but if it can reach 100 yds then I’m sold, so what would you estimate range wise it’s good for?
These don't use the low res screens. These use 1080P displays with zero latency.
@@John_Prophet not 1080p screens, they're analog FPV drone screens, so around 720p give or take a bit. Still significantly better than the adafruit displays not to mention much better latency
They are pretty good. It really depends on ambient light but I can read stop signs at 100yds
@@barrygregg3476is that with the v780?

EXCELLENT! 🤌
