$5k Thermal vs $5k NVG, spotting adversaries at different distances.
This videos compares a Gen 3, Autogated, OMNI VIII, Aviation Grade, 2500+ FOM, L3, Unfilmed, White Phosphor, PVS-14, NVG with a Pulsar Helion 2 Pro XP50 640 Sensor Thermal Imaging Monocular. The idea is to see the effectiveness comparison for someone in the role of a defender, between classic analog NVG (or NODs) and a thermal imaging scope, at the same price point.
The adversary in this video is a K9 handler with his animal. Which SHOULD make them easier to spot (multiple signatures, multiple movements speeds). I'll let you be the judge of that though.
I also show what it looks like when someone uses an active IR illuminator at various distance and circumstances, explaining visually why there is a saying that if you use NVGs you should keep them in passive mode.
