It is supposed to be waterproof, but if the seal for the holes in the roof is not good I would downgrade it to weather resistant. It will probably depend on the tent you get.

I got it from One Thief Surplus.

Yes it absolutely can if fully loaded, which is an unfortunate downside.

@@circlem7366 Thank you for replying.

I'm sorry, I don't have proper recording equipment so that's the best I can do.

Hello! They are very close in capacity to each other. If you attached two large sustainment pouches to the LBT then it would be bigger, otherwise they're about equal. To me, they both feel like they're made out of the same material, so they should have equal durability. What I personally dislike is the LBT style of internal divider. At the end of the day it will boil down to personal preference.

Thanks!

I'd say durable but not invincible. The amount of UV exposure from sunlight can matter; more will weaken it. It won't be as strong as a metal frame, but I'm satisfied with the durability. What do you plan to do to it?

@@circlem7366 camping,hiking and backpacking with it for several months.I have one but im still deciding weather to keep it or sell it and geat an alice pack

These Gen 4 frames from Down East Innovations are strong and can handle a lot. The model.# is 1603. Nothing is unbreakable, but these are pretty stout

It works if you can manage it!

My pleasure!

My pleasure!

Among other reasons, it is extremely uncomfortable to use a belt while carrying a handgun.

@@circlem7366if you legitimately think that you need to invest in a better battle belt and a drop flex adaptor. This is the dumbest take I’ll read today and it’s 00:01

The only drawback is the latency.

Yes. Unless you mean if I've tried switching those specific straps to another one, which I have not.

That would be fun! I think the main things you would need are food, water filter, and shelter. (like a poncho) Surviving on that short a timescale doesn't require special tools unless you fall into an especially austere environment.

I never realized that, thanks!

If it is in decent condition (no holes/broken straps) I'd be inclined to say yes.

@@circlem7366 thanks!

@@circlem7366 thanks, it is in good condition, or at least they say it's brand new. I'll consider it.

Glad you did, where were you looking for me?

@@circlem7366 Didn’t know the name of the channel.

Dirt burglar btw

My pleasure! I hope it was helpful.

For sure, it's better to have at least something rather than nothing.

It's highly subjective, but any of these three would probably be good choices.

Thanks! Yes it was unfortunate that the time I had available to use the device was limited. If I had more knowledge of how to change the settings the video may have turned out differently. As it is, I still think it's pretty cool to see how far digital devices have come.

I think that is the cellphone camera trying its best to use the available light. No ufos there, at least that I could see.

The star was stationary, he moved the phone.

What a great find! I paid a lot more than that for mine, congrats.

I got mine for 41 shipped too

Glad you like yours!

Thanks! I hope you enjoy it.

No. I believe the mounts are totally different.

That's pretty cheap. I don't think this technology is quite in its prime yet; but in time it will be the new hotness.

Thanks for letting me know. Unfortunately I don't own the device and only had it for a limited time to test. I didn't want to risk messing with the settings or something since it was on loan. I do think these will come into their own and be cutting edge within a couple of years.

Glad to be helpful! I did my best to be accurate and concise. The molle 2 is a pretty baller ruck for what it is. This one definitely sits differently on your back and you may or may not like it. I hope you find something that works for you!

I'm unsure.

You mean CRT screens?

I believe that technology is only a few years away.

Good to know, someone else mentioned that. As it is, I don't own this one and don't want to mess with it since it's on loan from a friend.

Yes, I just posted another video where I took it to the country. I was trying more to show the lag, but it didn't quite work. As a side effect, you may be able to get an idea of the performance from that video. I totally agree. I tried using it in the house closer to blackout conditions and the difference is huge. I'm not sure what you mean by one-take.

I will say that I was very impressed. It did way better than I was expecting it to.

That's a great idea! I don't think my phone camera is able to do that, it's pretty old, but maybe I'll figure out a way to make it happen.

I ended up having to give it back; so I was unable to do further testing with it.

@@circlem7366 If you think of any good tests, let me know and I'll run them on my Opsin.

I'll do some tests with the current firmware and see how it does with the 2D noise reduction on and off.

There's load of upgrades with the new firmware. Region of interest mode for lasers, a monochrome mode to remove colour noise in very dark conditions, 2D noise filtering. They've also separated out the EV adjustment. As for lag. again...if you're static and need higher resolution then go 30FPS. If your moving around, driving, running etc.....got 90FPS..... NO LAG!

It's not mine, so I don't want to mess with it; but I've passed that info off to the owner.

Law enforcement. Because of the recording feature. But definitely not as main goggles. More as ARC RAIL (helmet) mounted system. It's great tool for recording your mission without using IR.

​@@aesthetic8780I'd say it's useful even as a primary night vision device because of the color output (useful for identifying subjects) and also because most cops work in a city that has high light pollution Even in places that require illumination that is OKAY, because most suspects do NOT have night vision and can't see IR They CAN see visible light illumination which is what patrol cops have been using since forever > why this vs PVS14 then Because I wouldn't take an IIT on a fucking patrol with light pollution everywhere, or where car headlights and helicopter spotlights and flashing high lux lightbars are everywhere More importantly seeing in color matters more when you AREN'T just out shooting anyone who isn't on your team T shirts look identical in WP, that is a fucking problem. > but patrol cops don't need opsin Buy an aurora pro from triarc for $500 and go see how much shit you CAN ACTUALLY SEE without illum and with illum IN A CITY Not in the forest or a rural backyard A city with that ""cheating"" amount of light pollution When you combine that with the fact that it is equally useful with white light and IR light, has a record and GPS log function, and could have integration with ATAK Why stand in the way of that to pitch IITs that you sometimes can't even buy because some military contract ate up the production capacity

Y'all are pretty much spot on. I would use this in a high pollution environment to avoid damaging my nice tubes, especially where IDing color is of extra importance. The onboard recording is pretty nice as an included feature; especially with audio. It also has good potential for a dummy (e.g. every grunt ever) who would turn it on in the daytime or do something equally stupid and damage an analog tube. I'm pretty excited to see what the future holds for the development of these devices. While I wouldn't use one in a combat setting, I'm willing to bet that the next generation of this device might be viable. @slowmo7500 @aesthetic8780 @DD-hz3ts

An interesting development came out recently with Sionyx making an IR flashlight that emits 1050nm IR which digital nightvision can see but analog cannot which in a scenario where there is absolutely zero ambient light digital night vision could be the preferred option which is pretty wild

I'm glad you found it useful!

Good to know! Like I mentioned, it isn't mine; so I'm trying to be careful not to damage it. I'll be sure to pass that along.

The connector is a full MIL-SPEC Fischer. Its designed to be turned to find the connect point.

Another thing to note. I always leave that end of the cable plugged in, there’s no reason to unplug it. I have found that leaving the battery plugged in even while off will drain the battery but that end can plug in at any rotation so it’s not a big deal.

This. You just need to loosen the tension screw, position the scope, and then re-tension it.

Thanks! I didn't know that, I just thought it was out of spec.

There is no perceptible latency for the Opsin, and the others are analog.

There is no latency. But very low frame rate. It should have 360 FPS but that's not possible at the moment. 90 frames per second is WAY WAY WAY to low for using it as night vision device. But it's great for recording!

I tried to make a video on that, which I will post soon; but since the camera I'm filming through has lag of its own it's almost impossible to capture.

@@circlem7366 If you have a camera with a wide enough FOV, a good test could be to find a crosswalk with enough light to see it, then film both the screen and the ground. I've checked this manually and the crosswalk lines appear exactly when they should.

There is no perceptible lag at 30fps or 90fps. There is more motion blur when you move your head quickly.

@@aetius9 I've ran the opsin quite a bit and 30fps sucks. Whether you call it "lag" or "motion blur" the opsin does represent progress but it's not quite ready to be legit night vision.

@@SpecOpsGear I agree that 30fps is not great. But lag (latency) has a very specific, technical definition. It is how long the light from the real world takes to show up on your screen. The Opsin does not have perceptible lag at any fps.

​@@aetius9Yes, they are all dummies. They doesn't like the frame rate. That's all. They want 360 FPS/Hz without knowing it lol 90 FPS is just too low.

I'm not super technical with the terms, but the takeaway is that there is a delay between moving your head quickly and the image catching up. This one is far better than the original version, so I'm very excited to see what future versions of this device are capable of.

Glad you liked the video! I'll see what more I can do.

@@circlem7366 For what it's worth I also really liked seeing you just looking at the stars. It's so hard to find NVG reviews that aren't made for people who want to LARP as special forces badasses or whatever and just end up being a bunch of complaints about how something isn't perfect for running through the woods shooting everyone in sight. I'd love to see more use cases that normal people could relate to like hiking or taking care of your land at night.

Analogue tube has effective resolution of around 5 microns, the OPSIN detector is 9.4 microns, thus by looking at the stars you mainly see difference in resolution. The OPSIN also picks up two major irradiance peaks analogue devices can't "see"

I'm glad it was helpful to you, thanks!

I rather like it for what it is!

@@circlem7366 Oh, don’t get me wrong. I love my Halftrack. I just haven’t been able to fit it into my system because of the weird capacity. I mostly do weighted training hikes with it.

It is rather niche, that's for sure.

My pleasure!
