Real night vision, or fake/simulated?

The surplus Russian units I hear are the cheapest, you could google them up. ALso try SuperCircuits to see if they have something in your price range that would work. I guess typically you use a screw-on lens adapter with these, may need to add rails to the cam to support it all or risk breaking or bending the lens attachment point.

Obviously the cheapest (and easiest) would be to simulate night vision in post. Depending on how you light it and play with it in post, you could get results that are just as good (if not more to what you envisioned).

Best of Luck!
