 The price depends on the system you get (quality and features - like
 everything else), but different companies range from $10k up to $80k.
Foresight sells their basic system - ready to install - for $11.9k (for
 experimentals, certified is more expensive).Custom mounting pods made
 specifically for your aircraft are another $1k. If a group (of five)
 were to order together, the price drops to under $10k - and if the
 mounts are all the same, the customs will be included.
 The images are pretty amazing... this camera can see footprints of dogs
 left behind on wooden floors; distinguish small animals on runways up to
 half a mile away! That is with no light... though fog and smoke will
 hinder the image some, the vision penetration is still amazing. For all
 the gadgets and gizmos we put on our planes, this is the "bacon saver" I
 would recommend next to an AOA.

 Steve,
 You're better off getting a FLIR camera, such as what is available at
 www.foresight-flir.com ; it lets you see at night, through smoke and
 fog, and still lets you see all your instruments properly (even has its
 own battery backup in case you lose all power). If you want the ultimate
 in night time safety features, this is it. Though this is the one we are
 working with, there are others as well.
