The Yashica Explorer features an OLED + square TFT screen setup that allows users to switch between different viewing angles seamlessly. It offers full-color vision in low-light environments, providing a significant improvement over traditional night vision devices that often produce grainy, green-tinted images. The device also comes equipped with a high-quality f/1.0 lens, which improves image clarity and detail, making it an essential tool for anyone needing clear visuals in low-light or challenging lighting conditions.
Traditional night vision devices often face challenges like poor image quality, limited versatility, and short battery life. The Yashica Explorer addresses these issues head-on. Its full-color vision and f/1.0 lens eliminate the common problems of grainy images.
Additionally, the device’s onboard electronics can treat the OLED screens as viewfinders, allowing you to capture high-quality 48MP photos and 4K videos without the need for extra equipment. With a removable 3500mAh battery providing up to 11 hours of use, the Yashica Explorer ensures users can operate for extended periods without interruption.

The device will be available for pre-order through a Kickstarter campaign with early adopters able to purchase it at a price ranging from $258 to $278 before its retail price increases to $389.99.
