Nocpix nite D70R

To improve night vision performance you have 3 options.

Increase Lens Aperture
Increase Pixel Size (Lower Resolution Sensor - HD is optimium balance for performance and light gathering - x4 more sensitive than 4K)
Software Adjustment

In terms of digital night vision the top three performing products , in regard to night vision ability, still have the same defining factor.... huge apertures.

The market has pushed into 4K and 5K AND reduced aperture size... doesn't take a rocket scientist to predict the outcome.

Whoever bins 4K sensors and goes back to a HD sensors with F1.2 lenses and integrates IR , will dominate the market. the difference between HD and 4K during the day is very small, most would not notice, plus most 4K scopes only record in HD anyway.. ultra resolution is not the way forward in night vision products, daytime yes, night time no..

If I was producing my own scope, it would be two models, both tube design, one for airgun/rimfire and one for foxing and long range . 4K sensors would not be used. A HD sensor would be used, on the Foxing and long range I would fit a true 70mm focal length lens with a F1.4 lens to balance weight and performance, the HD sensor allows for this, as it's sensitive.This would beat a Drone Pro day and night and be better allround.

On the airgun setup again HD sensor and 40mm focal length with F1.4 or even upto F2.0 ! The HD sensor carries it so well , whilst a 4K sensor is crippled with small apertures at night...

Unfortunately, not a single one of the manufacturers have listened to you so far with these latest models to be launched- perhaps that will change with the next evolution of NV for night time use.

There are other options, such as a physically larger 4K sensor, or stacked sensors.

The standard 4K sensors, the Pixels are tiny , 1/4 of the size of 1080P HD

Moving to a physically larger sensor, drives cost up, lowers base magnification, requires bigger lenses and makes the scope much more focus fussy.

Whoever implents these changes for Night Vision , which is what 90% of users want, wins the game.

I mean this is talking about all manufacturer models from Sightmark ATN, HikMicro , NocPix, DNT Optics, it's not one specific manufacturer ...

HD Sensor, centre focus, dual turret, 70mm F1.4 lens, inline LRF with external low profile IR. Job done.

Saying that , all of the current models have fans across the board, they're all selling still in big numbers so the demand is still there for different customers needs.

Some want lightweight and opt for the Alpex Pro

Some want a sleek seemless design and large circular display and opt for the NocPix Nite

Pard Night Stalker , attracts high mag users

It's endless and one mans meat is another mans poison, but there is room for improvement on every model ...nothing is perfect yet.

The NocPix Nite is selling like hot cakes currently as is the Alpex Pro... it's anything but peak season, the demand is most certainly there still..

Hope to see one at the show this weekend with a bit of luck. And the Pard 4k 2.0

Well there was nothing at the show, so never got to see the Pard 4k 2.0 or the Nite D70R so still none the wiser which to get, anyone have a image of the rets in the above scopes??
