Well.. gen 3 is clearly superior in low light conditions.. I tried several photonis tubes (xr5-echo-4g) and none of them perform as good as my thin filmed gen 3 in low lights.. to be comparable you have to use old gen 3 units with specs worse than Omni viii.. everything that is pretty recent is superior to gen 2+/photonis tubes in low lights. Full stop.. that’s my Personal experience. questionable for sure but that’s it..

I feel like filming never does a justice when we all compare tubes. I had a GP Photonis aviation tube and it worked pretty damn good. Even on No moon overcasted nights. It struggled! But I was able to see in the dark. After a year I upgraded to an L3 Omni 8 tube and WOW. Major fucking difference. It sees so much better in low light 10x better than my Photonis tube did and on full moon nights i need to actually turn the gain down further. Photonis still fucks and I havent played with any of their echo or 4g WP tubes, but id imagine theyre still great for the money

Why the black spot?
@EagleBayNightSupplies6 ай бұрын
Black spots with sharp edges are defects from the manufacturing process. And black spots with soft edges are light damages. It's quite common to have a few smal black spots, especially on commercial grade tubes just like this Photonis echo tube in the video.

Don’t you have to purge the tube?
@EagleBayNightSupplies9 ай бұрын
You can't purge a tube. But it is recommended to purge the unit once it's built. But as it says in the title "without special tools". We got full set of correct tools and purging device. But for this specific video that aims to help people who wanna build their own pvs14 so we didn't bother because cheap DIY won't afford a purging device😊 Never the less, a unit needs to be purged every 6 months which I highly doubt anyone outside the military does.

Do you think Photonis de-gain their Echos for SNR or for cynical market reasons? It doesn't make sense for a highly automated, mass produced product to vary in performance. They should all be turning out similar SNR. If this is true, 4G are really echos with the correct voltage and so higher gain.
@EagleBayNightSupplies Жыл бұрын
No I don't think they modify their tubes in any way? Have you seen elbit tubes? Their xlsh series tubes can vary from 1500-3000fom only from slight diviations in their production. Same line of tubes, same prices but huge difference in performance 👍
