Luna Optics LN-QE-B50 Quantum Elite 4K Day-Night Vision Binocular 6-36x50 - LN-QE-B50
LN-QE-B50 is the pinnacle of digital night vision technology. Armed with the newest flagship Quantum Elite™ image sensor, it reaches new heights in Quantum series performance. With 75% better low light sensitivity compared to the G3 sensors, it provides much better nighttime visibility, and together with our proprietary Ultra Night Vision Mode, it allows you to see more details at nighttime without using an IR illuminator. It features motion-stabilized HD video recording up to 2880x2160 (4K) resolution and captures detailed 16.1 MP still images. Binoculars allow you to store up to 512GB micro-SD memory card data or stream it live to your iOS or Android devices via Wi-Fi. With the matching pair of brand-new rugged AMOLED color displays inside the eyepieces, you can operate the device in frigid cold temperatures as low as minus 30 degrees Celsius (-22F) and will get an unparalleled viewing experience either in vivid natural color or bright monochrome modes like black-and-white, 'Night Vision Green Phosphor', 'Night Vision White Phosphor' and Amber colors. To increase the contrast even more during the day, the unit also includes a first-in-the-industry automatic internal daylight color enhancing filter (also doubles as an IR filter), which enhances colors to their natural hue and spectrum during daylight, while blocking the Infrared light and at nighttime, once the IR illuminator is activated, the filter automatically disconnects and now IR light can be fully utilized by the image sensor to allow for full nighttime illumination. A fully integrated laser rangefinder helps you obtain distance information up to 1500m or 1635yds – unmatched for any commercial digital night vision and, another industry-first: Dual integrated infrared illuminators (850nm and 940nm) in combination with super light sensitive image sensor allow extending the visibility range up to 1000m (1100 yards) away in near darkness.
The ergonomically contoured body with rubber inserts and knurled focusing rings offers a comfortable and snug grip, and the included deluxe case keeps it clean and dust-free during transport and storage. Able to operate for up to 8.5 hours on 4x18650 batteries, connect to an HDTV monitor via standard HDMI output, or run from an external 5V/2A Power bank via standard USB-C power input, this binocular can become a faithful partner on your night or day adventure for years to come.
