Build quality awesome, performance not bad!

 

Build quality awesome, performance not bad!

I got a few night vision devices from here to test out in Big Bend National Park. Though I like this one's build quality, I don't know that it is worth the asking proce in comparison to Bushnell's Double Infrared monocular. After testing them both,...

Unreliable for me

 

Unreliable for me

I took good care of it. Never dropped. Broke after only a couple months. Total usage - maybe 20 times. Unbelievable. Other than that it was pretty good.

Perfect.

 

Perfect.

I purchased this item because I was curious about night vision scopes and wanted to have a basic model. Since then I have used it to help catch a runaway pet as it works quite well at night and the IR illuminator lights up animal eyes making them...

Night Owl Explorer Pro 5x Night Vision Scope w/I/R Illuminator

This scope would have a better score by me if it would work properly. As of now it doesn't focus on infinity because focusing rings were assembled incorrectly. Will attempt to repair...

Pretty good

You can't beat this night vision for the price. It's easy to use but I wouldn't bring this into combat or anything like that. It's great for what people have said about it. One minor note, don't let the IR be the main selling point for this night...

Fun Home Surveillance

I live in a rural area with homes on acreage. It's nice to step out to see what the dogs are barking at without scaring away whatever it is. Don't expect movie style effects, but do expect to see without a flashlight. Don't use this with a video...

Great present

 

Great present

Gave this as a present to a friend...loves it! The only complaint is that it only works (well) with absolute darkness (i.e. no full moon)
