NVG30 Digital Night Vision Monocular vs SiOnyx Opsin Night Vision Monocular

Buy the SiOnyx Opsin if you need true color low-light imaging, GPS tagging and long runtimes for professional or field documentation work. Buy the NVG30 if you want a lighter, simpler helmet-ready monocular with a strong IR illuminator for moving and shooting in total darkness. The NVG30 is the more conventional night vision tool and owners call it clear and easy to use; the Opsin is the more advanced sensor platform with recording and GPS, but it is heavier and depends on an external battery pack.

• Choose the NVG30 if you want a light, IPX7 helmet-mountable monocular with a built-in IR illuminator for full-darkness navigation and close-range shooting.
• Choose the SiOnyx Opsin if color low-light imaging, onboard GPS and all-night recording matter more to you than a small, light package.
