Expert Answer
A
Answered by Mark H., Gear Expert, from IL, United States, on March 05, 2019

Q
Dennis, member, from AZ, United States, asked on August 19, 2018

Does the quality of night vision equal 3rd generation ?

Expert Answer
A
Answered by Ethan C., Gear Expert, from IL, United States, on February 03, 2019

Not quite this is more on par with a Gen 2 night vision device. However, it's also more durable than a Gen 2 or Gen 3 night vision device because it is digital rather than intensifier tube-based.
