Just been using these AV920 screen goggles with a camcorder and WOW!!!

to be a pusher of the commercial stuff, but these things are amazing. Plugged them in to the back of our camcorder and set it on night-vision. I was walking around the house, with just the street lights coming in through curtains, and it was like being in Silence of the lambs. :-)



Well worth a Christmas gift for someone who likes video photography and stuff.


Have you tried that novel thing that's catching on lately at night?

Sleep.

Pathetic resolution though. The best is only 640 x 480 and the cheap ones are 320 x 240.

It should say "equivalent to a fuzzy 50" screen"

I was happy them. I have been showing them around today, and everyone was saying how clear the picture was on them. I'm like a kid with an early Christmas present, but they are actually for our engineers on CCTv jobs. Just looking for a string to tie them around their necks so they don't fall off.

I wanted their hands free for focus adjustment and things, and someone told me about these specs with Tv screens in them. Going way to Sci-Fi me thinks, until I tried these out for myself. Have now ordered another four. The guys can then trim the cameras without having to bring those mini-screens with them. Just pop the specs on and go. They all seem happy with them today.

cctv is about the same resolution (as is my mobile phone).

Have had something similar manufactured by Olympus for some years. Main selfish reason for getting them originally was so I could ignore a bore who in a shared environment always spoilt whatever was on the box by being a continuous armchair critic. Connected to them the Sat receiver direct and put the normal screen away. That fixed the sod. Found that connecting to a Playstation running a rally game was fun if the right view was selected, .though with some people they brought on motion sickness when doing this.
