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 direct comparison between three night vision intensifier tubes: an ATN Corp Gen 2+ white phosphor, a Photonis Echo Gen 2+ white phosphor, and an Elbit XLS Gen 3 green phosphor. The Photonis Echo is highlighted as a top-tier Gen 2 option. The description advises viewing at full resolution on a large screen for optimal clarity of the comparison.
