They both have Germanium lens so that isn't a difference. I put together a chart of the Super Yoter and the Nvision Halo LR, Halo X, and the Halo XRF. I am not 100% sure as some of the Nvision info was hard to find and I never found a temp rating. The big differences besides price in the three Nvision models are the X has wifi and internal recording (as does the Yoter), and the XRF has a Laser Range Finder.
Nvision: Well respected company with a very good 5-year warranty. They use the very well respected BAE core that has also been the gold-standard in Trijicon units for some time. Overall image quality will be fantastic with the exception of high humidity conditions. With the addition of the X and XRF, Nvision is adding some features long asked of the high end thermal brands. They still are using black and white screens, reticles, and backgrounds.
Super Yoter: From a specs standpoint, the Super Yoter is right there with the high end thermals. It has a lot of features that even the NVision XRF doesn't have including color palettes, color reticles, compass, inclinometer, and range marks. It is possible Nvision has a compass and inclinometer but I didn't see it in their manuals. The Yoter adds a unique feature that I have never seen in the industry which is the ability to set an object height and distance and get range marks showing in the reticle. This helps eliminate some of the need of a rangefinder at a much lower cost. The Super Yoter is built off the very popular and dependable Super Hogster code base. They have a 4-year warranty vs 5 on the Nvision.
I have used Trijicon units and virtually every Bering Optics. I have not used Nvision but feel they should be comparable to Trijicon. In comparing to Trijicon, I would say on low to medium humidity nights the Trijicons can PID further than the Super Yoter. However, on really humid nights, I feel the Super Yoters would fair better. The image on all these units is going to be very good. The Super Yoter is $5,000 less expensive than the XRF. You could buy a Super Yoter, Phenom, and an awesome tripod and still have a $ left.
Night Goggles has an order in for some Nvision thermals as well as Bering, Pulsar, and other thermals.
I used the term auto for focus, but Nvision and others typical call it Fixed. The user doesn't control the focus.

The adaptive reticle of NVision scopes is a very very nice feature. I also really like the new mil dot reticle thats on the XRF.

The adaptive reticle is an interesting idea. It almost posed an issue in the video when you were in a mixed environment and the reticle didn’t change because there was an object close by. It actually made your shot more difficult than if it was simply a white reticle on a black-hot background. You made the shot anyway so nice job. I realize this was probably the exception and not the rule. It looks like NVision allows it to be constantly one color or adaptive so that is good.

Nothing in the chart mentioning the "Bering" Super Yoter is a Chinese company. You know what else China gave us... Covid19
Why some US Citizens want to test the Chinese thermals, so they can make them even better is not good.
I'll pay more money to support a U.S. company (N-Vision) all day every day.

Bering is not a Chinese company. They are located in Texas and have another facility in California. Their thermals are not imported as a business process some other companies have moved to. Bering gets components from all over the world and assembles them in the US. They also service their entire line up in the US as well. Yes, the sensors in many of their thermals happen to be from China. That sensor is also the reason why the Bering thermals do better in humidity than virtually any other thermal brand.
I am not testing for a Chinese company. I am testing for Night Goggles. I test all thermals sent to me from brands Night Goggles carries and ones they are interested in carrying. Bering Optics happens to be one of those brands. Bering does a great job of listening to their customers and putting great quality thermals in the hands of US sportsman at prices more people can afford.

Typed with Chinese electronics......
Its a global economy, especially when it comes to electronics and rifle scopes! I'm just happy that a lot of the ones with Chinese cores are quality and forces business competition in pricing and new quality products.
