Hello,

I live in France and am in the market for a first pair of night vision binoculars.
I know we have an IIT tube manufacturer in Brives la Gaillarde called Photonis they produce gen 2+ tubes.
I want to buy my first pair of night vision binoculars with 4G in the US or 4G+ tubes in Europe.
Ideally, I want to use them in a deep forest environment for wildlife observation and counting.
Must I go for a high gain, low EBI, and high-resolution tube?
I've seen their PD-PRO-16B Binocular NVG sold in the US and they interest me.
Do they sell it in Europe?
If I want a good pair of matched tubes with at least 2800 FoM what prices can I expect?
I can spend around 20K€ for a complete unit with manual gain paired with a cheap COTI like a Jerry CE5.

Warm regards and greetings from France.
