DuoVox Mate Pro: A fun but imperfect night vision camera
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 фев 2025
- The DuoVox Mate Pro has a Sony STARVIS 2 CMOS sensor and f/0.9 lens that lets you take clear, but grainy color images in near darkness. The company claims it’s a thousand times more sensitive than a smartphone sensor and more dynamic range than the best mirrorless cameras. It’s best use is as a spotter for wildlife, portable security camera and similar uses, but it’s not designed for any kind of general photography.

Lol, you lost me at 'Kickstarter' 😆
Great review - what I got out of this is that this camera is NOT a night vision camera but it is a LOW light vision camera!
The plastic looks incredibly cheap/low quality. No lens cap included for a proprietary lens is honestly an insane oversight/omission.
The image quality looks totally unusable too for anything professional and the rolling shutter will ensure that it won’t replace the a7s series for video. Looks like a garbage lens too.
I presume finding no-light dark zones which are photogenic enough for this video was a huge task, So congratulations.
Unless you are doing night nature shots or spying or some kind of investigator, this is only for those who really have money to burn. Luckily that is a high number for this company. Every place I may want to take night shots also has lights.
Mate great Video 📹 but it seems you never heard about Luna Optics products like the LN-G3-B50 ,LN-DM60-HD, LN-DM50-HDSR or the Sony A7S series that turns Night into Day 😂😊
Sionyx was first 5 or so years ago and it still looks better and it cost $400 on kickstarter
Well to be fair, only 125 people in the world got it at that $399 price in 2018. The Sionyx is only 720p and this one is 1080p to 2k output. The Sionyx is only a small square eye piece (think gun mount telescope) and this one is a consumer touch screen, albeit kinda small screen but still functional to look at with more than one eye at a time. From the looks of the technology for the money though, someone might want to check out the new Sionyx Aurora Pro before deciding what to get for their appropriate application though, so thanks for mentioning it :)
@@utubestalker.dotcom The Starvis sensor can't actually resolve to 1080p or 2k in low light. In low light true resolution is bound by SNR. It's impossible to know for sure without doing a side by side comparison, but from this video I would guess any of the Auroras would produce better footage than the DuoVox at night.
I remember one guy did a comparison with sionyx, just can’t find it now
For 600 it looks cheaply made
Can it record longer than 30 minutes? My big beef with cameras
I’d buy it for $100
at daytime the image quality is the same as my first flip phone
Are we in 2005 to get this now?
Nice & Thanks :)
Great my brother,,, keep spirit my brother 👍👍🙏🙏🙏
Hello
Im interested in a rifle scope with that type of censor .. why are they not being made I live on a fam inadated with coyotes which attact out chickens gotas pies and cattle I and my mules and donkeys kill over 20 a year this type of censor would be wonderful as a dull switch thermal/color night vision scope allowing much more safe shooting at night giving more detail of back stop for a bullet travel
Depths of, field
Lol even duovox got usbc......unlike other tech giants 🤣
Crowd funding is a racket.
600$!!! ?
Meh, my A7R3 + f/1.4 lens delivers much, much better results, and better control. But it's not a fair comparison. The A7R3 sensor measures 35.9mm horizontally, against ~7.11mm for the STARVIS 2 sensor. That's a 5x crop factor. That means that the DuoVox Mate Pro's f/0.9 lens only captures the equivalent of an f/4.5 lens on a full frame sensor. The full frame sensor's surface area is 25x larger than the 1/1.8" STARVIS sensor.
Might be worth shelling more for a used full frame camera and a used Sigma Art lens or even an old fast vintage lens...
so you are comparing your $2,000+ camera to a $600 pre-order crowd funded Nite mode only camera. okay. lol
@@utubestalker.dotcom Hey, I'm trying to reply but YT keeps deleting my comment.
-A used A7 series camera can be bought for just a bit more than the DuoVox.
-When crowdfunding ends, the DuoVox's price will go higher, making the gap even smaller.
-There's no guarantee that it will be somewhat good at production, while you know what you're getting with the used Sony.
-With the dedicated camera, you have interchangeable lenses and you won't be stuck with an awkward focal length that can neither do wide shots nor telephotos.
-Let me remind you that it's very easy and cheap to find a lens with an aperture bigger than f/4.5 on full frame.
@@wandererstraining Fair enough, but still your camera after production price goes up, if it is even sold at retail price, your camera is still $1k more than that pre-production model, so comparison is still unbalanced. They said they sold previous models in the past on their Indiegogo page, however I have my doubts about their camera quality being anything better than an actual camera. It's basiclly for a nich market
@@utubestalker.dotcom Yeah, it is very niche indeed. I wish them to do well anyway. I'm a big fan of night photography, myself, and I see the appeal.
Regarding prices, I think it's fair to compare it to the closest offering, and that doesn't necessarily mean MSRP, because it will also compete against used cameras. Myself, I would look for the better option for the price I can afford, which includes used options.
Good, I, yousd, for, in, my, village, security
Check, same, time, I am, watch, your, video, in, enter, leopard🐆
I think this is VERY cool… but I have no idea what I’d do with it.
This is 100% designed to spy on neighbors or to video people at night *wink wink*
Horrifly NIGHT vision
plz add Huawei p30 pro n p50 pro in perspective as well.. they have 409600+ ISO!
I, hope, you, reply, me
What an expensive cheap piece of crap. ^^
First
There is no guarantee to deliver me product and also lose my money ....🙄🙄😱😱

Using a Sony sensor means this company is doomed as they don’t own the technology.
What sensors do Nikon, Fuji, iPhone, etc cameras use?
@@newt3535 the companies you have mentioned have patents in key hardware components.
Even Hasselblad uses Sony sensors.
