9cats, thanks for posting your Prowl footage! Just to let you know we recently launched a new firmware patch, 1.28, which offers a "high frame rate" mode with significantly reduced lag. You can toggle it by long pressing the IR UP button. It's available on the Nightfox website for free. I hope this helps!

I’m about to receive one to test It seems that the lag without IR it’s bad, but as soon first level of IR light, did solves the problem, did you have any troubles with the software ? I think it was a patch for the resolution when recording or something like that, don’t remember exactly, and did you got any ghosts from the reticle when looking down ( aiming) through the sight , and using external IR? Appreciate the video. Slow n Smooth Smooth is Fast Cheers

Yeah no IR light makes the ISO shoot way up on the camera causing lots of lag and noise. The patch fixed the unit from freezing and switching from 30 to 60 FPS. My only gripe with the unit is when in 60 FPS you could see screen tearing in the eye piece screen. But when set to 30 fps There's no tearing. I contacted night fox. Did a return on my original prowl thinking it was defective. Got my new one and same problems. They said that's just how it works .Other than that this is good digital night vision. I also do plan to make a real review for it and my helmet setup with it.

@@Iam9cats thank for the info! Looking forward for that review. I'm downloading that patch as I type, so ready for when the unit arrive. Hows the battery life and 900 oz. 255g.weight, does the unit feels cumbersome when using it with a helmet? Seems to me that the design of the ir 850 mm.of the unit to close to the nose. Does the mounting setup, sturdy? Looks plastic, compatibility with Wilcox right? Thanks for info and response ! Cheers

@@BConText No problem. As for battery life not sure i never used it long enough to even get close to draining it. Have to wait till hunting season is over to go shoot at night. So my test really have been walking around my property at night. Weight, I recently got a counterweight battery setup and it does feel much more balanced even tho the unit itself isnt heavy at all. ( I plan to get 2 to try to run them duel). The 850mm being to close to the nose, it dosnt hit the nose. I was thinking running duel might bump into eachother but i think its just perfect enought that they wont touch. I like many other have purchased a knock off Wilcox that was like $80 and thats the only thing that has play in the mount is the mount itself. The nightvision is sturdy.

@@declineofthewest. Pretty good. Granted it's digital night vision so we all understand the draw backs but picture is clear. Originally, one of the two units I bought didn't work and nightfox sent me two prowls to replace the one that didn't work. They definitely try to pull the helmet forward when mounted but that's where counterweights come into play. All in all, I spent less than $500 and got a bridged set of tubes that I can use while I save up for analog.
