Night Vision Monocular Lets You See Color In Low-Light Video Recording

Shooting a video at night can be challenging for filmmakers. The absence of adequate light sources can lead to low-quality footage that looks grainy, dull, and lacks color accuracy. So unless you have access to loads of professional equipment, you might have to give filming after dusk a pass.

Fortunately, companies like Duovox are working to provide videographers with innovative solutions to overcome these challenges. For example, the Duovox Ultra is a monocular designed to let you see in color even in extremely low-light conditions. It is equipped with an F1.2 aperture and 850NM IR illuminator, and seven-layered glass lenses to ensure no disruption in your field of view.

Moreover, the company claims it can produce bright and clear images and videos even in the darkest environments, allowing photographers to capture high-quality footage while out in some of the most challenging conditions.

The Duovox Ultra has a 5x optical or 10x digital zoom that allows you to focus on a subject up to 1,650 feet away. It also has a run time of up to 10 hours and 128GB of memory, providing ample storage for up to 120 minutes of 1080 full HD footage and 1,000 images.

In addition, the device is made of military-grade aluminum and has an IPX4 dust and waterproof rating, making it durable and able to withstand harsh environments.

Another advantage of the Duovox Ultra is that it can be connected to your smartphone to stream footage directly onto your smartphone as an external monitor, or you can use its high-contrast two-inch screen if you are keen on shooting a film in the nighttime.

The Duovox Ultra is now in Kickstarter mode, with an expected retail price of US$167.
