6:55 this is actually incorrect. The different color pallets are only filters added onto the raw image. The camera is not a BW camera. The information it collects is in color independent of what setting you have it on, so putting it on grayscale will not give you any more information. Its just that grayscale noise is less distracting than color noise.
Immediately, yes. However just like everything new to someone its not going to feel 100% right so it takes training and time behind the camera to get it dialed in. After a collective of maybe 10 hours of the short times I used it for messing around it felt really natural. I am hoping that there will be opportunity for me to use it in-game
I have a Syonix Sport, Pro, PVS-14 and some ANVIS-9s and can say that for practical purposes the Syonix is useless for navigation. Not only is the screen and FOV too small, and the sensitivity too low, the lag makes it impossible to run effectively. I guess with IR light maybe you could navigate in near darkness, but then you might ad well use your natural vision or white light. The syonix gives you no advantage over just using white light in an airsoft setting. If you're in the US just buy a used PVS14. If not, you're still better off saving up
@@mungus48 it's cheap but it's garbage for shooting people with. A syonix pro in Canada is around 1200, a used PVS14 is 2k but gives you 10x the capability
Helo! I liked the review of the facilities and equipment functionality. I can't find the part (KILOOHM MK1C BRIDGE). Would you like to forward the link where you bought it? I only need to do my installation !!! Thanks.
It is just 2 individual cables since the battery bank has 2 usb ports. There are some cases on Amazon where you can get a usb split to 2 micro-usb but kinda hard to find those.
other youtubers show side by side comparisons of say this unit and say an analog type unit. an analog unit seems to be far more capable than these digital types. have you every with your own eyes seen through a pvs-14gen 2/3. just wondering what your opinion is. thanks!
The person who has the most experience with seeing analog would be James. I (Talon) have only peeked through one for a couple of seconds, not nearly long enough to have been substantial experience. I see other youtubers blatantly use and operate the sionyx in the worst settings possible and negatively review it due to user error. I would love an opportunity to do a collaboration with analong users, I am waiting for the nights to warm up a little more.
@@TheAirsoftArena I've watched a lot of footage from both types of night vision. Having served in the military I was issued a gen2 pvs14 which was a phenomenal piece of gear even at Gen 2. A refurbished pvs 7 out performs these syonix devices by powers of 10. To advertise these as being anything other than a gimmick is disingenuous. Everyone here should just save their money for a real analog unit. The poor person cope in this video is pretty funny.
@@DonVoyage6948 I think it has 5he potential to be used effectively indoors with IR illumination. I had a sionyx for a while, and while it was nice to have, I sold it to get a housing for my newly acquired omni VII tube. The aurora has its place, but that place is much smaller than the marketing for it.
@@DonVoyage6948 the auroras main catch is recording in low light or at night. If you’re shooting with buddies at night and want some great footage this will definitely help. It’s also not too bad if you’re shootings with it while stationary, ie hunting or target practice.
I use the newest Anker battery box and the small hdmi cable ( I found a spare one that slid in tightly) The other video that I have posted featuring the sionyx goes over what we are using
I appreciate you guys giving a review. But you trying to give pros to cons over actual night vision is kinda silly. This doesn't even come close to gen 3 or even gen 2 night vision. Don't give these guys false hopes. I have this camera to record videos in low light. However it does not compare to my pvs14 and pvs31
If you want to see in the dark for cheap fun, why not get an even cheaper real first gen NV monocular? It’ll be more sensitive and have no image lag, and cheaper lol
First gen monoculars are way heavier than this, a lot more fragile (more so than even gen 2 and gen 3), prone to IIT damage from light exposure, and doesn't have recording capabilities. The Aurora does fill a niche of its own. I have gen 3 dual PVS14, and two sets of quad tubes (one chinese, the other homemade), and I still bought two auoras to mount on a bridge because they do things my other sets don't do. Back when the Russian Lomo was still around, yes that was the way to go for intro night vision. Only $90, and could mount directly to a j-arm. However they were also extremely fragile. Bump it once and it is toast.
@@DaveSmith-cp5kj nah with offerings like the Bering optics polaris, gen 1 is still a much better option for seeing in the dark than an aurora. $400 or less and it comes with everything to go hands free right out of the box. An actual night cap with pivoting mount & J arm rather than a shity skull crusher. Same weight as a pvs14, high light shut off to help protect it, 1x26 with a 1.2f objective, even comes in green or white phosphor. A unit like that would totally smoke an aurora in performance and do it for less money. The aurora isn’t a night vision device, it’s a low-ish light action camera, being a camera is the only thing it does better than actual night vision. It’s frame rate restraints alone make it near impossible to head mount and navigate or shoot at night with. Gen 1 just needs a little bit of external IR light to help it out and you’re rockin and rollin, seeing things in the dark in real time.
@@DaveSmith-cp5kj and yes, I can flex on the poors too with my L3 unfilmed white phosphor pvs14. But poors need good advice too, and there’s simply better budget options than an aurora for head mounting and getting into shenanigans at night.
@@revvyishonisd5027 you’re just flat out wrong. The amount of seeable light you’re getting from the sionyx is measurably brighter. Gen 1 is worse than your own vision at night and it hinders you without an illuminator
@@Chicano_pistolero the aurora literally gives you zero tactical advantage over gen 1 lol. None. Nothing. Nada. Zip. I’m not trying to talk up gen 1 or something lol. They’re both absolutely useless, unless you’re just recording a video lol
Hello, I’m seriously thinking of buying these I’m gonna be using them as a binocular setup and I’m still on the edge of getting these ive seen some good reviews and some bad reviews. What should I do
Id say keep watching and reading reviews and critically think about the negative things stated and decide if they are warranted or not. For example if someone were to say because a Ford GT came in a baby blue color that people shouldnt purchase it without stating legit reasons then I have a hard time believing anything that is said from them.
@@TheAirsoftArena hey thanks, I’m getting back later I just have a question about the crash hats aspis lens protectors do they come in sets in two or is it just for one camera?
@@luciankristov6436 I wouldn't buy an AGM product let alone a PVS-7. But like a pro is around 1000CAD x2 plus a couple hundred for a bridge, while an Echo PVS14 build is worth about 3k. So the price is so close idk why you'd waste money on a syonix
I mean like, still gonna get clapped vs any real night vision. Tried the syoniz for a year, too limited in that the range of lighting where it was better than my eye without supplemental IR was so narrow that I just ran white light.
The lack of knowledge on analog night vision you guys have while trying to compare this to analog is hilarious. a $50 led flashlight will not kill an analog tube have you heard of autogating? Probably not
@@TheAirsoftArena not really gating, it's inherent to the sensor design. The aurora just adjusts exposure in real time. Gating on a tube is due to oversaturation of the MCP which causes a voltage spike and the tube intermittently cuts power to prevent damage. Not the same mechanism at all
The fact that sionyx is seeing these being used for NV ,is probably going to lead them to make an NV version
Opsin was released earlier this year

Very helpful! Thanks guys!
Were the dual auroras collimated into one picture?
What is the name of the cable that can be mounted at different angles?
Hello, what is the navigating experience like with these units for something like milsim west, for example? Is the latency noticeable?

Hey guys, Chris here from TASK FORCE DELTA Canada. Looks like you guys have a yellow filter over the eye cap. Do you have any info?
As far as purchasing? Or just general info?
@@TheAirsoftArena I assume that'd a Lion's Gear one?

How do u get the Tracer rounds like what do u need to make them lite up ???
you need a tracer unit that gets stuck on the end of the barrel so when the BB passes through Ultra Violet light can react with the chemical in the BB
