I built a Gen2+ PVS14 for $1200, no manual gain. and I used a manual iris for gain control. It is by far 100X better then a Opsin. The mx11060 was $500 on armslist and $600 for the pvs14 kit. $100 amazon mount
I've thought of a possible way to test this: measure the audio recording against the video recording. Attach a wooden rod or something maybe a foot or two long and straight to the Opsin so that it shows on the edge of the viewfinder. Then swivel the opsin to tap that rod on a stable surface like a door frame. The audio should be much lower latency, so if there's latency between what is happening in the real world and what is happening on screen (and being recorded), you should hear the tap of the measuring stick before you see it on the screen. Rather than trying double-record that, though, you can then analyze the video frame by frame and see if there is a delay between the sound of the impact and the appearance of the obstacle. For the analog recording, push up your cell camera frame rate as high as it will go (might need a better camera?) and do the same test.
Only thing I can think of would be to up the framerate on the phone camera, possibly with a higher Exposure Value, but I don't think it will help much. The phone has the same problem as the Opsin, in that it's a digital device with a fixed framerate. You're always going to get that blur, especially at 30fps. You might be able to get an idea of any latency by filming during the day, and capturing the Opsin screen alongside the real world - not sure if that's possible with a phone though.
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!

The day CTR screens come back in a pocket size is when a PVS-14 will be replaced.
You mean CRT screens?
I believe that technology is only a few years away.
Can the opsin got to 60 and 90 fps? I think that may help lag but make the light sensitivity worse
I'm unsure.

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.

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.
You should really update the firmware for the Opsin, you can turn off the noise reduction. Much less blurry.
I'll do some tests with the current firmware and see how it does with the 2D noise reduction on and off.

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