    In my opinion, i can't believe people pay $800 more for RPO's. To my eyes, the Carson glass looks much clearer and brighter.
    Oh almost forget to mention how much i enjoy watching your content. Very helpful / informative. Thanks for putting it out here.

    Excellent video comparison. I've often wondered if the edge distortion of the RPO optics would be an issue when doing a panoramic NV setup. I'd love to see you guys do a video on panoramic NV in general as I believe that is the future of night vision.

    • @kevin11288
      @kevin11288 9 місяців тому

      Panoramic meaning 4 tubes.. not two.

    • @Senpai_B
      @Senpai_B 8 місяців тому +2

      Do you know what you’re talking about? Pano rigs are literally dual tubes with extra FOV and is not “the future” of NV setups. Bridged systems for NV with thermal capability is the future and we’re already in it.

  • @christopherjordan459
    @christopherjordan459 8 місяців тому +1

    Great video! To much eyes Carson wins hands down. The RPO isn't bad but the jellyfish (for lack of a better term) flair is kinda distracting watching the video. Real world? Probably not an issue but I'd still stay with the tried and true Carson glass!

    This is the best channel for nods, I was wondering about if the RPO’s had better clarity but the Carson looks cleaner and with less edge distortion. I have been considering the RPNVG and I was wondering about the rpo glass but I would now see that Carson glass would be the way to go

    The hardest pill to swallow is paying a premium for RPOs and taking an optical penalty. Im all for the weight reduction but i cant deal with that and reduced eye box

    I dont like how light blooms/ lense flairs really bad through RPO glass. Any bit of light you see. Street lights, lights on houses or headlights passing. Idk maybe its me but it drives me nuts and its $800 more. But if it were the same price i could see it. Just not for me for the price tag

    I bought a Manual diopter, so with that on the front, I can’t put my cap on the front. Will that damage my device over time?
    It it safe to store without the plastic cover? Also am I damaging my device when looking at street lights and car lights at night?

      Im aware. I was trying not to confuse people that could care less about the intricacies that nighvision nerds obsess over. Carson also just changed OEMs on the eyepieces, this is the reason we made the disclaimer in the beginning of the video.
