Yashica crowdfunds the Vision, a 4K night vision camera

Yashica, a storied name in optics, is dropping a new product that’s set to illuminate the dark corners of our world – literally. Meet the Yashica Vision, a night vision device that’s not just any regular gizmo but a beacon of innovation in the murky waters of low-light observation.

Yashica, with its 75-year strong heritage, isn’t just playing in the shadows; they’re bringing them to life in 4K UHD full-color detail. This isn’t your grandpa’s night vision; this is the future, crystallized into a handheld device. The Yashica Vision boasts a 5x digital and 3x optical zoom, turning night into day up to 600 meters away. Whether you’re hunting, camping, or just peeping at nocturnal critters, this thing’s got you covered.

“Nighttime is scary because of the feeling of vulnerability in the unknown and unseen,” said CEO Kondo Hidenobu. The Vision is your knight in shining armor, breaking down the barriers of darkness with clarity and detail that’ll make your night owl friends green with envy.

But wait, there’s more – this night vision wonder isn’t just a one-trick pony. We’re talking advanced 0.0037lux sensitivity, which, in layman’s terms, means it can make a starry night look like a sunny day. And you don’t need any extra gadgets or gizmos to see in the pitch dark, just the Vision’s IR illuminator.

The features are like a tech enthusiast’s Christmas list: full-color night vision, 4K UHD image quality, a massive 600m view distance, and zoom capabilities that would make a spy jealous. And with a battery life that lasts longer than most people’s waking hours, this is the ultimate tool for anyone looking to conquer the night.

But Yashica didn’t stop at just making it powerful; they made it tough too. With IP65 water and dust resistance, this binocular night vision device is built like a tank but handles like a sports car. It’s equipped with a compass, SOS lights, and enough storage to save every nocturnal adventure in high def.

The Yashica Vision isn’t just a piece of tech; it’s a statement. A statement that says, ‘Hey, night, you don’t scare me.’ It’s a device that tears down the curtain of darkness, letting you step into a world unseen. YASHICA’s not just bringing light to the dark; they’re redefining what it means to see in the night. So, if you’re ready to turn night into your playground, the YASHICA Vision is your ticket to the show. Get ready to see the unseen.
