NNVTs vs Photonis ECHO & 4G High Gain - We Compare All the Night Vision Tubes We Carry!
Ever wonder how different night vision specs actually mean in terms of real world performance? Join us in this deep dive of each night vision tube we carry to find out what works best for you. In this video we will be comparing our tubes in a lab setting on the Hoffman, as well as in real life environments in a variety of different lighting conditions.

CAMERA SETTINGS FOR THIS TEST:
A7SIII with SEL24F28G lens CHS Cine-NV adapter
4k/24fps SLOG-3 with rec709 LUT
ISO (NOTE: This higher ISO is the dual native on SLOG-3 on A7SIII, so we can get the least amount of camera noise with the best video and use a smaller aperture so the clarity from the camera lens is less impacted by the camera’s aperture)
F5.6 to F11, we changed the aperture to better expose the NODs in bright light conditions, this does not change the sharpness or focus of the image from our testing though stopping down can induce some softness to the sides of the image
1/48 Shutter
5800K White Balance (we found this to be decently true to colour on most NVGs)
