   I purchased this unit with wildlife watching in mind. On an average suburban night there is enough ambient light you dont need the IR turned on, but out in the bush you will of course need it. The clarity and viewing distance is amazing for the unit and the price. The dual IR is what drew me to purchase this unit, the spotlight is especially powerful while the dispersed beam is much better for viewing animals that are a bit closer. The unit is light and easy to use, weather resistant, and compact. I showed this to some colleagues who do observational fieldwork and they were quite impressed with the quality, scope, and distance this nightvision device provides. Other people I have shown it to have gone away wanting one! This is a quality nightvision monocular that will more than adequately serve the needs of the casual animal observer. So far I have been able to observe possums in their nests and climbing through trees and watched flying foxes feeding in trees. They seem to notice the red beam, but it is really only noticeable when the unit is pointed directly at you. I highly recommend this product.

   This cam is awesome. You know how in scary movies where someone is being filmed in IR their eyes light up real bright? Well… Imagine being parked in one of the most remote areas around… Big Bend National Park for example… Sitting on an overlook with the sole intention of testing this thing out… Turning it on after your car has sat for a bit to let things settle… And then you turn it on and see some eyes coming through the brush not so far away, and along with the eyes the full silhouette of the fox they belong to!

   That is how this thing worked for me. Watched rabbits eating, foxes searching, and javelina moving around at night too. In short, with a full moon in a dark area, you may as well be looking through a green tinted camcorder in daylight. This thing will see everything that the moon casts light on! With the double IR light, the throw is far enough to where it makes it fun to use this thing since you can ID whatever is running/moving/looking at you in the dark. The price isn’t bad either. I bought both the single and double IR versions of this item, the double has a smidge more throw/range to it. Given the choice, I’d opt for the double every time based on the small price difference between the two… In reality though, both are comparable, so if you need to save some bucks go for the single version.

   I am really enjoying this purchase. As other reviewers of NVDs have stated, this is not a military class unit (unless you are comparing it to a 1960 era unit), but for $200 who cares. I have about an acre of land and I can check out the whole yard without a problem. It is more solid than the picture gives it credit for, and is comfortable to hold. I would recomend this unit to anyone who just wants an NVD for recreational purposes.

   The title really says it all. While I didn’t actually buy mine (business gift), it’s something I’d have paid for if I had a need. It’s an excellent unit to keep in your pocket in case you need a better view of things, or your “usual” night vision optic is out of whack.

   That being said, anyone looking to buy this needs to know two things:

   Firstly, this is a night vision device, not an infrared device. While, yes, infrared devices are “technically” night vision devices, this is a standard, light-amplification device. It is an incredibly good one for the price you pay, but it does not do what an infrared display does. You cannot walk into a pitch black room and see everything with a heat signature.

   Secondly, this is a low-end night vision device. That is not to say it is not good, but it is to say that it is not excellent. For the price, it is a fantastic value, but if you compare this to other units starting at $600 and going up from there, you will be very disappointed. That being said, don’t do that.

   This is an excellent device for most hunters, and certainly sufficient to just go out and tool around with because you’re bored. If you need something of “professional” quality, this is the wrong device for you, and honestly… why are you shopping on Amazon and not a proper dealer?

   When I first ordered this item I was hoping it would help me see in very dark environments. When I finally got it and tried it out I realized in order to see in night vision you have to already have some type of light source in order for these night vision mono’s to pick anything up. In very dark conditions you still can not see anything out of these mono’s. That defeats the purpose of having this item. I should of bought a flashlight I would of been able to see better and it would of been cheaper.
