That's a shame if it is starvis/starvis 2, I had the impression that they were relatively sensitive. Obviously not the level of brigates sCMOS sensors though - if only those were more accessible lol.
The view through the viewfinder picks up a lot more on the NVG30 compared to the video recorded to the micro sd card - th-cam.com/users/shortsxKemT98_zCc
It does. The ADNV-G14P unfortunately does not have an on-board recording feature, so I was forced to do it through a phone. Don't worry, I've covered the screen of the phone using a phone case while filming so there was no light contamination from the phone screen. As to why the ADNV-G14P sees that much more, well, it's simply a much more sensitive unit
The image recorded on the NVG30 is substantially darker than what you can actually see through the device itself. I like the g14 performance. But the cost is said to be around 1600 USD. Im my personal experience with a PVS14 gen 2 vs the nvg30 it's really not that different honestly. 450$ is really difficult to say no too and you can run and gun in just starlite with overcast no problems without IR. For the cost ill just stick with my NVG30S
@@vonscherfarms925 Oh, that's not true huh? Well, a channel by the same of toolaa2000 did a comparison between the too and guess what? The Aurora is more sensitive. Show me proof before you say "it has been tested".
@@DjAlonDevil toola is the Chanel I’m referring too. The aurora was running at 30fps which is the only reason it had a slightly better picture. At the end of the day. The PVS-69 beats any other digital system simply because of its multi use capability. You can swap out EO sensors for thermal ones or upgrade to other sensors like the IMX662. And on top of that you can swap in analog tubes whiteout having to purchase a whole new housing.
First part of vid is with moonlight coming in through the window, second one is with blinds closed. None of them had IR. If there was IR, the whole room would be lit up and the image would have no noise. Sorry but I also wish we actually have a 300 buck digital unit that competes with intensifier tubes, but that dream is still probably more than a decade away from coming true.
@@hypemilitaria6447 no I get it. It just kinda looked that way since there seem to be an outline in the picture. I put nvg30 in the brightest setting for that. Seem to do the job.
I don't have an Opsin but I do know folks who have been using it. The Opsin performs better than the NVG30 but still significantly lags behind the ADNV-G14P when it comes to low-light sensitivity. Under starlight levels of darkness, the ADNV-G14P will see more at 100fps than the Opsin will at 30fps. The Opsin, however, can do color, while the ADNV uses a monochrome sensor.
@@KyzoFox I bought a SIGHTMARK WRAITH 4K NIGHT VISION MONOCULAR ( digital ) for £859 to play airsoft. The only use I think it has is to put it on a tripod and record video in the night. Otherwise from that it's absolutely useless
@@WarAngel72there is little to no latency with the nvg30. I have one helmet mounted and I can walk around just fine at night with it. Takes some practice but it's more viable than being tripod mounted. Also the on board recording of the nvg is trash compared to what you actually see. I've seen people post that they are pissed how much they have spent on analog after looking through a nvg30. It's really close to gen2 analog for a third of the price.
Hmmm, you can get 5 nvg-30 for the cost of the g14p. Maybe the price would be worth it if the digital market didn’t already have $1500-2000 options that preform similar or better than the g14p. Especially for American buyers than don’t want long shipping times and want American based Warranty and repair options that don’t take months to complete including shipping. But definitely a cool system, if only it didn’t carry a $1700+ price tag when analog setups are a small stones throw away price wise I would grab a pair myself.
I agree, I hope the ADNV prices come down in the future as the technology matures and more options enter the market. Speaking of which, there are other digital units that perform even better? Available now for the 1500-2000 mark? I know of the SiOnyx Opsin but urban survivor tested it against the cheaper ADNV-G14SE and the SE crushed it in low light.
@@hypemilitaria6447 i agree that the g14 has great performance for a digital unit. But with all of the pvs-69 variations and other self assembled kits on the market I couldn’t see myself shelling out the money for a adnv-g14p at the moment. But I can absolutely see a large audience of buyers who either don’t want the hassle of self assembling a unit or don’t want to dish out $2000-2500+ for a American digital unit or an older analog unit. I agree that the adnv-g14 unit’s definitely deserve respect and a place on anyone’s list when searching for night vision. I personally just wish that they were closer to $1500, but like you said once production has carried on for a while the price should adjust accordingly. When that happens I personally think the g14 units would be on the top of my list if I was considering a new night vision setup.
@@wladoBBB Am planning to do a very detailed comparison once I get my hands on a device that can record high quality footage from the ADNV sensors. But for now, all I can say is that the NVG30 doesn't even come close to the performance of the ADNV-G14P in extreme lowlight.
Interesting, is there any public info about the sensor being used in the NVG30?
Most likely a Sony Starvis 2 4MP 1/1.8" chip. This seems to be the closest match.
Not really except it’s a cmos sensor

Now compare it to a PVS-69
PVS-69 sucks, sorry. It's not even as good as the Aurora Sport when it comes to light sensitivity.
@@DjAlonDevil that’s actually not true though and it’s been tested…

Hi good sir, have you tried sionyx opsin? considering buying either ADNV or opsin, need some advice, much appreciated!
