This video analyzes the Photonis Echo white phosphor image intensifier tubes for the PVS-14 night vision monocular, addressing common criticisms and presenting them as a viable, readily available alternative to L3 and Elbit tubes. The presenter argues that Photonis Echo tubes offer excellent clarity and can be built into PVS-14 or BNVD units much faster than the often-delayed L3 and Elbit options, making them a practical choice for those needing night vision quickly, especially before winter. While acknowledging they may not match the gain of L3/Elbit, the video asserts their performance is competitive in most scenarios.
This video offers a layman's guide to night vision devices (NVGs), aimed at first-time buyers. It covers essential aspects to consider when purchasing, including NV tube types, different manufacturers (L3 Harris, Elbit, Photonis), laser aiming devices (DBAL, PEQ-15, PERST 4, Holosun laser), key specifications and metrics like Figure of Merit, housing types, generations, color options (Green vs. White Phosphor), autogating technology, and whether tubes are filmed or unfilmed. The guide helps viewers navigate the NVG market and conduct their own research.
