The AstroScope 9350-HVX-3LPRO Night Vision Adapter is designed to be used with Panasonic's HVX200 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. Fitted with a high-performance 3rd generation intensifier, the AstroScope significantly enhances your camera's low-light capabilities.

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: 10. Will this work with the pop up flash?

A: After examining the images in B&H's on-line catalog, I can verify that the Ringbox will NOT work with a camera's pop-up flash, an external flash unit is required. The opening for the flash itself is a good 2 inches too high for the pop-up flash to reach it. The only thing I can recommend (if you really want the Ringbox) is an external flash unit with a swivel head that's compatible with your camera (if your camera has an external accessory hot shoe), or you can look into something like a Bolt VM-110 Macro LED Ring Light that also requires standard hot-shoe but brings it 's own light source, so you don't have to buy a separate external flash unit (the Ringbox and the Bolt VM-110 are about the same price). The VM-110 is AA battery powered and LED driven and has adjustable camera/lens mounts that adjusts to many different DSLR and 35 mm SLR cameras. If you have a standard DSLR, this ring-light will probably work on it.
