We are aiming to provide series of “Round #” articles where we will compare different NVDs in same environments. There are many articles online that describe the performance of different generations, tube producers or optics. Truth is that usually comparable devices are not close to each other specification wise. We wanted to do honest review and It’s so much easier to grasp the difference when you see performance of IIT’s with similar specs side-by-side. We Read more…

Until now, in our comparison blogs we have compared ECHO to a GEN3 and other GEN2s. You can read all about it here.  However, we have never compared ECHO vs ECHO to answer a question  “how big is the difference between FOM 1600 and FOM 1900?“. Now, we will try to cover that question with examples. Specification of Test Units Let us start by comparing specification sheets of the selected test units. As you can see Read more…

A picture is worth a thousand words! Let’s see how Photonis Commercial compares against standard Gen2+ and 4G. We have comparisons in a half-moon, cloud-coverage, and starlight conditions.  Photonis Commercial in GT-14 different lighting conditions Full moon Half moon Cloud coverage Starlight Standard Gen2+ Full moon Half moon Cloud coverage Starlight Photonis 4G Full moon Half moon Cloud coverage Starlight

When you are looking for MNVD (Monocular Night Vision Device), then most probably you have a lot of unanswered questions like: How does Gen2+ compare to Gen3? Should I buy Gen3 instead of Gen2? How about Gen1? Can you have cheap and good night vision device? There are so many different Gen2+ devices – how to compare one against other? What accessories to consider? Let’s try to answer those questions…. Why you should not consider Read more…
