Looks interesting....My Canon 7D does very well too at night and does color....
When I was in the Army I use to like looking at the sky at night with the NVG on. You can see every star, satellites and the milky way band across the sky. I could stare at it for hours.
I loved doing that on night patrols, it was so beautiful
Did you see the UFOS?
Satellite 😂😂 sure
I used to do the same....had the 7B
@@gabegarcia4741 idk how you understood him but its probably dots flyinb across the sky
Ugh. These companies MUST get it into their heads that these MUST A HAVE A 1X MODE. If it isn't 1x, it cannot be used while walking around, hiking, etc. 1x IS a must.
it will still come in pretty handy while out looking for plump girls to make a suit out of
100% agree with this. Especially if it is going to have any zoom.
Could try putting a lens to reduces the magnification. But these are digital NV so there's usually a delay between real world and the projected image on the screen, and because of this, it is not suited for walking around. It's actually nauseating for me.
@@WTF_BBQ honestly the nvg 30 is incredible, sure it is only 40hz but the visual delay is so much shorter than something like the nightfox prowl(its a great unit but the visual delay is TERRIBLE) that I can find walking around "comfortable"
@@Alexthereek-ob7vt
As far as digital night vision is concerned, I think it's the best for the price... I tried wearing it while inside the car with my son driving, and it made me nauseous. If you don't have motion sickness problems, it's a viable option.
I think the bottom line is. It's very low cost and it's a lot better than nothing. You can see in the dark for only $200.00, it sounds even better if you look at it this way.
Thank you for sharing this information with us, I'm definitely buying one as soon as I can afford it. 💯👍
That is some slick night vision. I'm digging it. Thanks for sharing
Glad you like it bro! I’m still blown away how well it works in the dark! 😎👍
I kept seeing ads for this on Facebook, so I'm very glad to see you reviewing this. I was gonna buy a Nightfox Prowl based off your review, but I may just wait for this. I've been looking for a good replacement for my Nightfox Cape.
Awesome, I am glad you got to see my review on this. Set to be released Jan 16th! I will say that each has advantages in their own way, the Prowl is definitely good for CQB/helmet mount setup. This one is a great replacement for the Cape for sure. Cheers! 😎👍🍻
@@DavidSchwartzjr Just so you know, you're staking your reputation on a Rip off company that takes your money, but never even sends a confirmation email leaving customers with no info of their purchase / shipping. (They got me for - $175.oo )
Certainly explains why it's so hard to even find customer service contact for Indiegogo. 👎
Nvg30 is better
@@johnconnorsmith5001 I got the Prowl, but I'll look into the NVG30.
I'm so happy to see your channel thriving outside of watches!! 😁 awesome review. Now im thinking if i need something like this. 😅
Thanks Eve! Yeah, I still plan to do some watch reviews here and there but I guess since my collection has not changed much that is why I've decided to branch out into other topics. I appreciate the support and hope you're doing well this New Year!
@@DavidSchwartzjr I think it's pretty great you're diversifying and doing well at it. 😁 One can only say so much about watches.
really cool vid! and even cooler product!
Thanks man! Yea it is super cool!
Looks nice; however, in the demo section @ 4:00, you are bleeding light from the screen from the backside.
This is a must-fix before trying to market these.
Could you fix it using a gasket that connects to the unit and lies flat against your face to prevent light bleeding out during use?
Nice to see one in color. Great for scouting for game in low light conditions. I can see it being usefull. I just prefer night vision optics mounted directly to my rifles.😊
Very cool !!!
I pledged (ordered) one of these after seeing it in an Indiegogo email, as it looks a neat device. Should get it within 1 month.
Wow nice 👏 a must have
It really is!
A manual focus is better for people who use glasses.
How good is at at viewing the stars at night ?
New here very interested in purchasing a set of these when they come available. I was wondering if you could tell me if there's a watch that tells the elevation. Not knowing anything about timepieces thanks
Thanks Dave 🙏
Thanks Junior! My Thorn review is the next vid in the works!!
@@DavidSchwartzjr ✊
Is it Gen 2 (exportable)? What's the sensor material? Is it a true bolometer, or just a near-infrared image sensor? (I am guessing the latter - hence the need for AI processing)
I'm curious if it's any good on pitch black night without any source of light from anywhere?!.
What kind of refresh rate is the display?
Very nice
The next step for infantry is full spectrum, AI displayed VR with thermal overlay and on demand targeting data. The power armor to go with it (lol) should follow whenever they get energy storage to catch up with our current servos. More seriously, this really is a huge step forward in targeting and I hope companies continue in this direction.
Who says they don’t already have it?,… hummmm?
do you really want AI to be inpainting colors on things that aren’t really there?
@@JinKee we use these systems for fighter pilot HUDs and self driving cars already, doesn’t matter if you want it or not, it’s coming. The question is, do you want it first, or do you want someone else to have it first?
@@johnbenson3024 well if you trust the machine to correctly render the colors of arm bands from a black and white image when you and your adversary are both wearing some variant of multicam, be my guest. I’ll stick with my kestrel.
@@JinKee lol valid. Certainly not saying I’d trust today’s systems for it, just that that’s the direction it’s going is all
Looks promising.
Hi David. I just followed your link and made the purchase. Can you tell me what you found regarding head mounting gear? Head straps, helmets, etc? Ill be interested in those abilities. Thanks!
Congrats on the purchase, and many thanks for using my link! 😎👍🍻 So, no luck yet with head mounting gear, I'm about to order some go-pro extensions to test out with my fast helmet. I'll have to do an update vid if I have any success. What would really be good is if they made some sort of dovetail adapter that would fit into a wilcox mount. Hopefully in the future we'll see a 1x version with mounting options for an even better build overall!
David I get the sense that the device works on the Still Camera's Color Infrared Techniques. By Just removing the IR Filter on a color point and shoot camera would give color, but not true color. However, this one you have seems to be using AI to get true colors Right?. Thanks for showing this, it's new information for a lot of us. Terry
Thanks David for putting up this review. We are using the SiOnyx Pro units to shoot the night sky on clear nights. It works well for us, but 720p is a bit of a limitation. The SiOnyx has an exposure control setting on the camera to reduce or increase gain. Do you know if the new Seemor allows the user to select frame rate, gain (exposure), or other settings to allow the user to control the light? I'm looking for an on-line manual but can't find one. Any advise would be great. Many thanks! Ian
Hey, Johnny . . . can you confirm if there is exposure control on the new Seemor? I got a reply from their customer service, and they suggested that the AI feature means it's all controlled automatically. If there is a way to control frame rate and gain, then it's a no-brainer for my application. @@j0hnny_R3db34rd
Not sure about that but I saw a review where a guy compared them and he said the seemor is a much better unit than the Sionyx. Which I was happy to hear because I've been lusting for one for a long time now and haven't pulled the trigger. I ordered a seemor today. 1/4th the price and better quality.
I am certain that it will be a great until for a lot of uses - and giving way better performance than the SiOnyx. I've used other digital NV binoculars and cameras that are really nice, but when you point them to the night sky to record stars, the auto gain ramps up making the sky too light, and adding way too much noise. If there is a way to adjust some of the settings manually to control exposure and shutter speed, it would kill the SiOnyx, for those looking to record the night sky. . . and the much lower price sure doesn't hurt either . Please let us know how you like the unit. @@ebenezergeezer
Looks ok for the price but the internal battery, weight, and lack of light blocking (the splash from your viewfinder) makes it impractical for mounted wear. Also, I dunno about ai enhancement... what if for example it decides that patch looks like (country x) flag and enhances it - and you select your target incorrectly. or it's sure that stump is a person... does the ai do any image fill or only color enhancement? this makes me wanna throw some imagers and a pi together and run it through opencv
Better then the Sionyx Pro?
Do you know when the Tripods will be sent out that backers won ?
Auto focus would be so nice, along with 1x zoom. They're basically for stationary use without those.
Awesome review. The colors on that device look specatcular. Nice job comparing it with some nightfox models to give us a better perspective as well.
Don't believe it. Just got one and the colour is not usable at all. Save your money. It's a gimmick. Think about it? If it we're true wouldn't the military already have it???? It's a load of lye.
What is the lowest magnification it has?
Sweet back ground music there 8:42
wow! when did nightvison get so cheap? cuz its digital?
I'm Waiting For There 2nd Unit To Be Released .... The Seemor Hiney ! 😜
Hi man, this is COMPLETELY off topic, but i saw one of your previous videos on how to treat a scratched and scuffed watch. Do you reckon it would be possible to apply our own brushed finishing on a stainless steel watch where the watch is polished. So basically get rid of the polish and make our own brushed effect, or do you think that would be a big no no
You can brush polished surface (stainless steel) no problem.
Hey there, as Tom mentioned, you can absolutely turn the high polished surfaces to brushed, however, I would advise to approach it with extreme caution in terms of keeping a steady hand and making sure your movements with the abrasive surface are done in perfectly straight motions. If you do it at even a slight angle the brushed lines will be slanted. I would not attempt to brush a circular surface like a bezel until practicing on a cheap throw away watch first. 😎👍
@@DavidSchwartzjr
What he said.
There are some videos on YT explaining how to. Watch before attempting brushing.
whats the price??? most Image Intensifying goggles are very expensive.....
I'm curious if you can see many stars with this. Can you do a little stargazing and tell me if it's clear and crisp or not?
Hey there, just uploaded a video with the results here: czcams.com/video/qQ4Cx2n1nbw/video.html
It works for seeing a lot more than the naked eye can, but I don't know if this would be sufficient enough of quality for your needs. Cheers!
@@DavidSchwartzjr Thanks David, much appreciated.
Hello! Have you seen the YASHICA night vision on kickstarter? What is your opinion on that product? I’m thinking on which one to buy
I would like to know as well how they compare to each other. I don't need either, but kinda want one.😅
That is why I'm here too! $179 for Akaso - $139 for the Yashica. Wonder which is best??
I’d say the biggest difference is that this one actually exists and has videos and reviews like this one, showing it actually doing what is claimed. The Yashica is very suspect. I’ve seen no reviews, and no demonstrations of a working unit, unless I missed something. And the videos that they used in their marketing showing the night vision even say in fine print at the bottom that they weren’t taken with the Yashica. I placed an order for the AKASO yesterday and I’m looking forward to getting it. I am accumulating high resolution equipment that can see in the dark, IR, and full spectrum to do some sky watching and recording. I’m going to get that bombshell high res UFO shot that the world needs to see.
Tapo color pro security cameras are kinda like that...neat
Well, it's not passive IR (you still need an IR light source to illuminate), so not really good IR, but, for the price, this device is ok. It's way better than some apps for a smartphone and way cheaper than FLIR. I guess it's worth to take a closer look.
Also, curious about this for driving at night? is this something that would work well for that? Or not so much? Lol.
The lack of binary vision makes driving a problem; you have zero depth perception unless you have undergone a lot of training with the equipment, like the military pilots do.
would be cool to see this sensor in a astrophotography package
It would definitely excel in a rifle scope scenario I mean if it was made to be a rifle scope because that ability to be not detected and still use the unit that's priceless
Unlike binoculars, you can't use it if you're nearsighted because the image is displayed on the screen so you have to have it away from your eyes until the image is clear.
I could have a lot of fun with this watching wildlife.
There is a need for a night vision camera with better resolution than the current crop of affordable night vision cameras (eg Sionyx Aurora). Better resolution, better low light sensitivity, false color is very useful too. Needs to be tripod mountable and run for at least 4 hours on its internal battery. I know that this device is not what I want, but I hope that night vision manufacturers read these comments.
why did it take so long to attache a phone to binoculars?
awsome
Hi David - were you ever able to find a fitment that worked with the mounting rails and the 1/4" screw fitting? I f there's a way to mount these to my head for hands free use, i'm 100% in.
Hey sorry for the late reply, Scott. I did not find an exact fitment that works with the rails yet. I tried using some go-pro arms but its kinda wonky and not stable. I'll keep looking tho!
Received mine but its still charging after 1 hour....how long before the battery is charged
Depending how low the battery life is it may take a couple hours. I'm not exactly sure, I usually just let my charge overnight, I never timed it from 0-100% though.
Hi David: can you turn down the intensity of the screen's light, so that youre not blinded and lose your naked eye night vision?
Hello, yes you sure can! There are Low, Medium, and High brightness settings. If the lowest setting was still too bright, since the viewing screen has glass you could also apply a light tint to get the right brightness I suppose. 😎👍🍻
Thanks David!@@DavidSchwartzjr
An external battery charger would be nice, you could be charging the spare cell off of a power bank.
non IR dependency is amazing! but the lack of x1 zoom makes it almost useless for airsoft and night shooting which is probably the biggest consumer base for affordable NVGs. This is frustrating ngl
website has malicious code on it that you listed for the akaso
What do you mean? I’d like more information on that, thanks.
Hi again
Can I charge battery in unit with cable
It does look like it, it comes with a type C charging cord.
Yes, it can be charged with the battery already installed in the unit.
@4:00 "...no i.r. signature, which means you can detect while not being detected."
Umm, what about the light emitting from the screen? It's pretty obvious, it lights up your head and the surrounding area!
Thanks for the video and explanation of this unit. Why is all the sales and marketing items these days say they are “powered by AI” . For me if the term “Powered by AI “ is used for a device I don’t need AI in, then it will be something I won’t purchase as I know it’s a bogus claim. You don’t mention the zoom setting for the device other than it would be nice to have a 1X wide field of view. I would like to have an integrated optical zoom, but I’m guessing for a device of this price that still wouldn’t be an option. Thanks again for the review, but this device doesn’t seem to have the most important feature of optical zoom I would want in such a device. Thanks.
I bought a very similar cheap set as a curiosity, and can tell these are all toys, best suited for impressing children.
There is no advantage to using these, and in a real world “tactical” scenario of any significance, using these will quickly get you killed.
Even passively using these without the IR illumination on, you will light up your face like a spotlight for all to see, and also ruin your naked eye night vision to actually see when you “hunt” or whatever.
The screen brightness is a horrible thing with units like these. I got an Amazon unit off a similar review and the screen was harsh in full dark. MAYBE if you could turn the screen all the way down.

I see you were able to take a break from the zombie apocalypse to make this video... nice.
Everything with a microprocessor and an algorithm is now marketed as an (AI) now
It's silly how now they just throw the name AI at anything that is automatically done by a computing system with sensors, just to sound like it's more advanced and cool.
I’m guessing you briefly served and were a driver
for me, miss one thing, a thermal vision mix with or not nightvision.
Can you see the stars with them with light pollution?
I will need to test that out soon! Its been really cloudy and rainy here this past week. I'll try to post an update sometime soon! 😎👍🍻
Wait no 1x? What’s the point without it it’s not a walk around device without 1x
This needs to be a small headset
In the movie Videodrome, an experimental color night vision headset caused those who used it to experience vivid and frightful hallucinations that became too real.
The WiFi signal is easily detected, bad Idea.
It also should use rechargeable CR123 type batteries
Full colour 4k night vision has been out since the release of the Sony a7s2.
I paid. 1200 bux for military grade 2nd generation Russian NV 25 years ago and these beat hell out of that.
The picture may be better. But remember yours displays images in realtime...digital has quite a delay
What is "these" and "that"?! You are making no sense!
It is a scam, I ordered it weeks ago and still nothing and I cannot email them to ask
what do people use this for anyway ?
never got the idea what people use night vision for , other then military application for night ops , maybe
but you don't go hunting at night and fishing doesn't need much more then a tiny led for hooking up a worm or fish for eels ...
maybe a bigfoot show can use it to catch one with his pants down , but for the rest ... ?? idk ...
How many people clicked because they thought they saw a twin turbo feeding a supercharger?
Lol right here!!😂
What is NEEDED is a proper sensor that is a full 8 microns or larger per photosite and NOT the 2.9 microns used by the Sony Starvis OEM'ed imagers used in these products! The sensor should be running at 120 fps 4K resolution and use a proper 4K display in the viewfinder. The focal length of the lenses SHOULD be at 24 mm to get around 220 degrees of wide field of view for CQC uses and for walking, riding bikes, cars, marine vessels and aircraft! The 120 fps using a real-time Huse/saturation/luminance/contrast plus unsharp mask plus 2D-XY SOBEL/CANNY edge detection will give the best image quality!
“HI resolution, 4mp photos. - Potato vision!
If this device is available for commercial sale makes you wonder what the military has.
As someone who just found out that I stand a good chance of losing all of my eyesight, or at least a good portion of it and I already have NO night vision whatsoever, devices like this are very interesting to me, just unfortunately the price tag makes it out of reach. Those who suffer vision impairments usually aren't working and are on disability but this is something that these companies should be exploring as it represents a market that is in dire need of some devices to assist their everyday living. Not everything needs to be about hunting and "wargames". Cheers.
It needs a rangefinder judging distance from the unit to object and object b as well as distance between objects a and object b. It needs an incline meter, a velocimeter, gps and barometer. Include those things then it will be useful!
I doubt there is any actual AI involved here. I bet it's just the new marketing buzzword that gets slapped on every product.
Probably, after all technically any analytic algorithm could be called "A.I.". All it is, is a complex set of "if/then" coding.
Rule based AI vs Machine learning AI
Very limited AI for application only, not a super computer!
Whatever they sent all the influencers is NOT what we the consumers received. I received mine this weekend and NOTHING I try can get the same image quality in any way. This was a total scam
Sure, I have one in my freakin back pocket....
Also, be wary about the AI, AI can be used to hi lite animals and people, or it can filter out animals or people
The WiFi transceiver should be removable.
This item, for what reason does one need to acquire? Well actually there is no need for this item, its probably a health risk as you might disappear if used in a inappropriate manner...which is pretty much always.
So if I lost my dog in dark...I could possibly find him with this ?
Yes, and quite easily
@DavidSchwartzjr
Thankyou David .
How so ? If unit does not have infrared
Just make wireless connect to micricro screen classes
it looks like the artificially colored ww2 videos, grainy black and white made to look like color.
Thermal is superior.... in ALL conditions.
I watched this video and ordered a pair. Mine is now a month late and was delivered to some unknown location. Beware of this company.
they say anything is powered by AI nowdays ,the problem is we dont have a concensus of what AI is and what something must consist of to state that its using AI really all tvs nowdays are AI ,anything thats artificial and is intellegent that is above the intellegence of Cletus the Slack Jawed Yokell
You look like a Batman villain 😂

haha, indeed...lets gooo!!
The $300+ price tag is very close to the Sionyx. 🤔
It’s less than $200
I'm happy you're doing well with your choice to go down extra routes bro but I'm lost with this stuff😬 I get where you're coming from being you're in the U.S for me it's pretty pointless 😢 I love you're watch reviews but cigar's and thermal scopes aren't something I'm into 😢 I can't honestly remember a watch review,think it was around 7 videos ago😭 love you lot's bro but I'm kinda lost now😢😭
Hey Trip, I know man 😞 I had taken maybe too long of breaks over the last year or two because I really did not get many requests from watch brands to collab (which is okay) and then since my watch collection has not really changed much, my journey had slowed down a lot. I still wanted to do videos but decided to try some other topics/ideas which have worked well for the growth of my channel. That said, I do have some good news...my next video is the full review on my Thorn Blancpain FF homage! Working on it this week so I hope you will enjoy that. I may need to do a video also addressing the channel updates so other viewers and subs can understand a bit more of what's been driving me to do these changes. Much love to you too bro, hope you're having a great New Year!
MSRP? $50,000????
Ok I'm in Australia and my mate just received his purchase of this unit and these beta versions you guys got must have a 2000 dollar sensor for promo purposes. Because I played with his and the colour night vision is 100% not usable. Can't even make out an image. It is about a 100 dollar normal night vision!definitely would not buy this!
I'll be doing a review on CZcams to save people money.
There’s nothing new about these Bono’s, they’ve been around for a couple of years now, the really new stuff is combining IR with thermal night vision technology.
Send some of these to ukraine
use the ukraine money to help the people losing their homes in america first or use it to fix our non-existant border.
Nope....... It's not our war, not our problem, and none of our concern.
Please do not be fooled by this device, was able to compare this side to side with the Sionyx Aurora Pro. Full moon, no clouds and the Akaso was less than HALF the quality of the Aurora Pro. Spent over an hour changing settings and always the same. Aurora Pro was set to default settings the entire time. No offense to the channel creator but please know you get what you pay for. Really wanted to believe this device was a game changer too. The image is never near as clear, only suggestion is use a IR light then you will see well. But alone it was a waste of money IMO.
