I am so excited to show you guys my night vision setup from Night Vision Inc. these things have blown me away from what I was used to with my PVS-14. If you are looking into getting night vision for any use, your best decision would be to go to Night Vision Inc. I cannot say enough great things about dealing with them. In the video I go over what sets the RNVG's apart from other night vision setups, and a little bit about what is inside of them. Please know that filming through night vision with a cell phone is less than optimal, so the footage is poor. If you have any questions about stepping into night vision send them an email!

Nice review. One thing to add the photonis EBI is measure differently than Harris(elbeit) and L3. The EBI of .15 and .16 is actually 1.5 and 1.6. These are still good numbers it’s just something to note. Typically on specs you want halo and EBI was to be as low as possible

Yep, the EBI is a little high but the Gain on these Echos is super good. They should be pretty good performers.

@@poolee77 That is a tough one. A high spec Echo would perform better than a low spec Omni 4 and vice versa. A high spec Omni 4 would perform better than a low spec Omni 4. If you want to change colors to WP and are in reasonably high ambient lighting conditions the Echo's might be worth the switch.

If the sound you're hearing is low in post-production, then you either had your computer/headset volume too low and was trying to boost it, to hear it, while editing.

What made you go with photonis tubes over the thin filmed Elbit tubes? Price point on the two are pretty similar if I recall

The Elbit just weren't around when I got into my setup. But I agree they are pretty comparable.

@davidtrumpy4908 4 жыл бұрын

Shopping RNVG right now. Seems like the best housing if you want to get the best tubes without spending 10k or even more at the moment. Seeing right around 8k for L3 white filmless...although elbit thin filmed is real tempting for quite a lot less

@gunsnmammons 3 жыл бұрын

Honestly the Elbit offerings are pretty cool for their price. Although if I could do it all again I would save up the extra for the L3 filmless. Those tubes are amazing.

Whats the difference between L3 24UA vs the L3 20UA tubes?

I believe the UA just means different minimum specs (FOM, SNR, halo, etc.). Not 100% though.

Right now this stuff is getting scarce and more expensive. A few years back it seemed like you could get white 15s for like 9999. Now that's like 11500. Some of these high spec units with good articulating housings are approaching PVS31 money (if you could buy them lol)

Hey man! I just ordered RNVG's from Night Vision Inc. as well. When you received the unit, did it come with a user guide of some sort that describes how to care for/store the RNVG housing/tubes? Also, did it only come with the pin hole covers instead of covers for all 4 lenses?

@poolee77 4 жыл бұрын

Biggest thing is just not exposing the tubes to excessive light.

@gunsnmammons 3 жыл бұрын

Yes the only covers are for the objective lenses as they are the only ones that are light sensitive. Really just as SemperFiMac77 said, just don't expose them to light and don't store them with the batteries in for long times and you should be fine.
