This AstroScope Night Vision Bracket is designed to be used with Sony's HVR-Z7U camera. The AstroScope provides your camera with the ability to produce high resolution full-frame images under adverse lighting conditions. The rugged and compact design makes it ideal for demanding applications. This bracket is fitted with a high-performance 3rd generation image intensifier that significantly enhances your camera's low-light capabilities.

To operate the AstroScope, a C-Mount lens (not included) must be mounted to the front of the CIU.

Your high definition camera can now take on a more valuable role in all your security concerns. The AstroScope's ability to capture images in low light that provide facial recognition and vehicle registration identification ensures your ability to execute wide area surveillance and long range detection. You can secure any perimeter, shut down border crossings, and render any 'line in the sand' impenetrable.

While 2nd generation night vision works well in most applications, 3rd generation night vision will out perform it in all situations. With a 3rd generation NVD, your image will be crisper and clearer with a decreased level of bright light blooming. These improvements substantially increase the recognition and detection range of the system.

Q: 1. Will I be able to keep adapter on for use with a collapsible 50mm summicron for infinity shots in collapsed setting as can be done with the 90mm macro?

A: The photos are misleading. Both the Novoflex and the Hasselblad adapter position V mount lenses at the same distance from the X1D sensor. There is a separate adapter for xpan lenses to X1D (different lens flange to sensor distance) See BH #HAXPLAX1D and B&H # FOXPANXCDPRO
