I find it hard to express to you guys just how useless traditional night vision feels nowadays— especially after using a night vision system with a thermal overlay like this one.
Affordable digital night vision with thermal fused image technology has reached a point where it’s legitimately impressive, and the Shinenyx G1A is the device that proved it to me. So what is it? It’s a helmet-mountable digital monocular that combines a high-resolution low-light sensor with a built-in thermal sensor. I went into this review fully expecting it to be junk, based on bad experiences with earlier digital units, but after running it hard for two full weeks, I came away genuinely preferring it for a lot of real-world tasks.
