About this episode
The episode discusses the complexities of purchasing night vision devices, focusing on intensifier tube selection and common misconceptions.
Buying NODs is probably one of the most confusing processes in our community. Understanding the new options that are available almost every month, as well as the plethora of secondhand devices, can be an almost impossible maze to navigate. To try and address what I think is the most critical part of a positive night vision purchase, intensifier tube selection, I'm sitting down once again with Shane Sharp and Ty Morgan of Terrace Unity Solutions. We get into the common myths behind the different tubes on the market and dig into why brand name alone will never be enough to guarantee your happiness as a end user. Further, we talk about dreaded "blemishes" in the tube image, and why it's the most misunderstood concern by new users, and even discuss the finer points behind reading a spec sheet, and the "death by spec sheet" paralysis that so many fall in to. If you're planning to get into Night Vision, this will definitely be a helpful discussion for you! Visit our sponsors!
