The IR LED is going to be the same in both, it’s just that the light crystals may be adapted to switch faster. So … go blind faster? Yay!

It’s worth pointing out that with an AC adapter or a Li-Ion battery pack, the Eyeclops projector will make a much smaller package. Connect everything to a belt-loop battery pack and you can have 320×200 projection FPS action coming off the end of your gun. Of course, if you’re playing FPS games in near absolute darkness, why not splurge $300 and get an SVGA projector in the same package size?

I’m waiting for someone to merge an iphone into the whole kit and have a stand-alone projection FPS with 3G multiplayer.

There already is a sub 100 dollar projector. The Torpedo Projector is a kids projector that accepts composite video and r/w audio cables. 69.99 at Walmart if you can find them.

@farthead, from what I understand there is no getting blinded by light when moving from light to dark with the IR LED one

I love the review, the Night vision toy is good for a night paintball romp..

Yeah, you and your buddies have high power IR beacons, get several, give some to your buddies and disablet he IR on yours, shoot at the bright lights you see.

with real light amplification monocles available for under $100.00 why buy a crappy ccd camera and IR led source toy?

$60 night vision toy? for that price they can only be using a CMOS camera, replacing it with a CCD camera and adding a belt battery pack should be the first ‘upgrade’ so you can see much more in the darkness for a longer time. Perhaps a dozen super bright IR LEDs added into the existing ones for good measure.

I do like the look of that projector, I just hope it can accept a PAL video input or it’s no good to me.

actually, on second thoughts that projector is probably too big to strap to a gun :(
