This light amplifier transforms the Canon camcorder into a night vision camcorder. Designed to fit between the lens and camcorder body, it permits the electronic functions of the system to communicate as though the module was not installed. The 9300VL Night Vision Module permits full electronic control of the VL lens iris and zoom functions. No batteries are required as the energy efficient AstroScope 9300 draws minimal power from the camcorder's rechargeable battery. The 9300VL mounted on the Canon L1 camcorder The 9300VL transforms dark, moonlit or starlit nights into bright, high resolution scenes easily viewed via the view- finder monitor and recorded.
Image intensifiers amplify the existing light.
The current high end Gen III Premium will allow viewing in very low light levels. The auto iris control and exposure controls will remain intact. The system is designed to use all of the Canon VL mount lenses. Because our design fits between the camera body and lens, all controls are maintained. You operate the camera as though the night vision module isn't installed.
