The UANVB Katana is a high strength and lightweight articulating binocular housing that has quickly become a popular option in the commercial and law enforcement markets. The Katana is the lightest binocular on the market to date at a functional weight of 17.76 oz. fully assembled (with battery installed). It comes with a industry leading LIFETIME WARRANTY on the housing and is made in the USA. The articulating design allows users to use one eye or both eyes enabling the simultaneous use of a thermal optic or other non-passive aiming systems. This also enables users to operate vehicles without limiting head space by eliminating the need to stow the unit upright or to tuck the pods against the helmet when stowed.

It is simple with a minimalist design. An onboard battery with no remote power keeps things simple and wires off the helmet. Push button on/off in the cap to reduce weight and reduce the footprint of the bridge. Individual pod power on/off when articulated to the side for single or dual eye use and to eliminate backsplash when stowed or rotated out.

An original new “Friction Lock Interpupillary Adjustment” feature allows users to quickly and easily set IP stop distance with a simple rotate into place and forget design. No tools or knobs. This unit is light weight without compromising strength. It is rugged and has been drop tested to the NATO 1.5 meter drop test standard. All our products are designed and hand built in New Hampshire, USA.

As always with Kosher Surplus, we ONLY SELL IN-STOCK NIGHT VISION. NO LEAD TIMES. Because we do not pre-sell night vision, we grade each individual goggle to assign a fair price to each set based on the performance specs and spots in the image tube. By providing our customers with full transparency of tube performance specs and image, they can choose exactly what they want so there is no disappointment on a large purchase.

We are offering the Katanas with the following tube options (all are cerakote Black with LEMO port unless otherwise note):

• Photonis Echo White Phosphor
• Elbit Green Phosphor XSLH
• L3 Filmless White Phosphor

New to the research of NV and have explored your site witch is set up nicely. Can you translate the gain on the echo vs the L3 or Elbit

What do you mean by Translate?
Are you asking if they are manual gain?

Well, from what I see others state is you would want a luminance gain of 64K or better. The Echo uses a different scale such as the ones you show, example 87**, 88**. What number would be equivalent to a LV 64K L3?

Just received my set yesterday with L3 tubes and RPO glass. They are fantastic. Much better than 31s and DTNVS I’ve used in the past. Ben was a pleasure to deal with.

I actually don't know how to accurately answer this for you as they are two different units of measure.

luminance gain is the number of times a night vision device amplifies light input. It is usually measured as tube gain and system gain. Tube gain is measured as the light output (in fL) divided by the light input (in fc). This figure is usually expressed in values of tens of thousands.

Lux is a unit for the amount of light that falls onto a surface. cd/m2 is a unit for the perceived brightness of a surface. So the difference is the color and texture of the surface When something is pitch black, it can receive a very high illuminance (Lux) and still have a very low perceived brightness (cd/m2). I assume there may be a way to properly covert them however I am not aware.
