Does anyone have experience with the EVS-100 from Forward Vision/Max-
Viz or the EVS3 from FLIR? I know that the first product has an STC
for the Cessna 100s (172/182), and I think the EVS3 has been
installed in these aircraft as well.

From what I have been able to find, I think the EVS-100 uses its own
screen while the EVS3 connects to the MFD. Both are about $15,000 (I
think).

I have added SVT to my Cessna 172 and really like the increased
situational awareness. I probably would not add EVS until I move up
to a 182 or equivalent, but I am curious to find out more.
