ASTROSCOPE™ NIGHT VISION ADAPTER FOR CANON XL-SERIES VIDEO CAMERAS. GEN 3 PRO. CIU. Add Night Vision to your Canon XL2 for starlight-level video image capture. Electrophysics AstroScope is an advanced night vision module that incorporates a state-of-the-art Gen 3 PRO image intensifier that transforms dark scenes (below 10-4 lux) into bright, high-resolution imagery. The AstroScope 9350XL-3PRO is specifically designed for the Canon XL-series camcorders and seamlessly installs between the camera body and lens in seconds. The patented AstroScope design sustains communication and power between the camera and lens, which ensures that lens stabilization and zoom functions are maintained. A design that delivers optimum performance in every configuration. Unlike pocketscope-based night vision setups, AstroScope is specifically designed for image capture applications. Only AstroScope enables you to use your XL and EOS lenses to shoot full frame images at distances beyond 1000 meters! AstroScope’s modular design enables you to easily transfer the image intensifier to other camera platforms including Canon SLRs, Nikon SLRs, and fixed lens camcorders.
