SiOnyx Aurora ~ Best & Worst Case Performance Testing
Channel: Phoenix Rising
Date: 2021-02-24

In this Video we will be testing the SiOnyx Aurora out to 100+ Yards and Comparing it to Gen 1 under both a "Best Case" scenario (Full Moon No Clouds) and an almost "Worst Case" (Starlight Only, No Clouds) scenario.   We will also be testing the SiOnyx Aurora's Digital Zoom Performance, All three Night Glow modes (Color, Greyscale and Green) under different conditions and demonstrating reducing frame rates to improve light amplification and using both 850nm and 940nm Aftermarket Near Infrared Illuminitaors to improve range and clarity.For Comparison we are using a Bering Optics eXact Precision 2.6x Gen 1 Monocular side by side with the Aurora to show how these two budget night vision devices stack up against one another.This video is Lengthy with A lot of Outdoor footage and demonstrating a lot of variables To aid you in viewing the areas that interest you the most please use the following Index...

Note: This Video demonstrates the performance of the SiOnyx "Aurora", "Aurora Sport" and "Aurora Black" models as all three share the same sensor and optics.  This does not represent the Aurora Pro as it uses a different sensor (although the resolution is the same).
