In this video we will be doing Side-by-Side video comparing Gen 1, Gen 2, Gen 3 Digital, Cascade and Thermal - Apples to Apples to show how all these levels really compare to each other on a moonlit night at out to 300 yards!

We will also do two "Tabletop" presentations - 

One for Thermal / Digital debunking exaggerated distance claims with methods for you to look at ANY thermal device and determine how usable it would be for your particular needs as well as talking about some things that limit the effectiveness of Thermal that most people leave out~

And a 2nd "Tabletop" on Tube Based Night Vision that will tell you why virtually every Night Vision Video and Image that you see really don't represent what you see in actual use, as well as the differences in technology between the different generations and way to better view lp/mm.

Firefield NVRS 3x42 Gen 1 30 lp/mm
Sightmark Photon RT 4.5xS model with 850nm IR illuminator
