Yukon 3X42 NV

by Treker from Arizona, USA on 2010-06-16
Nice monocular - just remember it is a Generation I Pro: Small enough to thrown in a back pack & nice to have at night around the campsite. Con: Limited field of vision & have to readjust a lot.

Useful item

by Cesar Garcia from on 2010-02-25
I'm really glad I purchased this Yukon night vision system. It's a great asset on my job site. The price is unbeatable too. You can go with some fancy thousand dollar systems or purchase these for a few hundred dollars and get basically the same results, it allows you to see at night. I'm very happy with the product!

Christmas gift

by Kristina Brendel from Ipswich, MA on 2010-01-27
This item was purchased as a Christmas gift for my husband. He wants to be able to watch the wildlife near our house at night. He absolutely loves it. He feels he can see clearly for long distances. It might not be the fanciest model out there, but the price reflects that. It certainly does what we want it to.

Overall, it is a good product

by unowhoseattle from lynnwood, wa United States on 2010-01-09
This is a good product & I am happy with it overall. The focuser is somewhat loose & feels cheap, but the image can be focused to a sharp picture. The optics are suprisingly good. I don't think it would be realistic to expect better optics for the price. In town, with some residual light, at 100' without using the illuminator you can easily see and identify people that would otherwise be completely hidden from view. The IR illuminator works great, almost too well. Don't expect to use the illuminator if you don't want to be seen. It is clearly visible by anyone you point it at. If you aren't going to be sneaking around it won't matter, but don't expect to sneak up on anyone in a pitch black warehouse. This would be a much better product if you had the ability to run the illuminator at reduced output, or if there was an optional clip-on IR filter that blocked all visible light output. Even if this reduced IR output by 50%, it would still probably be fine. The design of the lens cap storage slot seems somewhat clumsy & might actually increase the chance of losing the cap. I think tying a string on it, or putting it in your pocket would keep it safer. At least if you drop it you have night vision to help find it. The NV will continue to function for several minutes after you switch all power off. This can be confusing at first because the power light will be off, but it still functions. If I can figure out how to add an IR filter to the illuminator, this thing will rock.

Description

The new Stealthview¿ Digital Night Vision products use a powerful infrared spotlight to produce images with resolution rivaling that of Generation 2 and 3 optics. The view is sharp from edge to edge, and they're effective in complete darkness and at long distances. They're also invisible to game animals and observers.

Bushnell has engineered the Nightwatch 2x24 with Built-In Infrared Monocular to produce images with resolution that rivals costly Generation 2 and 3 optics. Using a powerful infrared spotlight that produces sharp images even in pitch darkness, the Stealthview monocular is ideal for a wide variety of applications including security and surveillance, camping, night fishing, navigation, and wildlife observation. This powerful infrared technology works by providing a light source for the Nightwatch system to amplify and collect through an objective lens. This collected light is then processed through an image sensor to produce a high-quality image that is magnified at 2x. Designed for use in a variety of terrains, the lightweight Nightwatch monocular features a built-in tripod mount and rugged rubber armor around an ergonomically shaped body for added comfort during prolonged use. The Nightwatch monocular operates on two AA batteries and provides a viewing range of up to 700 feet, making it the perfect nightvision monocular for nighttime adventures. Bushnell Nightwatch 2x24 with Built-In Infrared Monocular: Magnification X Obj Lens: 2x24 Tripod Mount: yes Field of View (ft @ 1000 yards/m @ 1000m): 105/35 Infrared Illuminator: yes (built-in)) Weight (oz/g): 10.7/303 Battery Type: AA(2) Model: 260224 Size (in/mm): 5.9x3.5x2.3/150x90x59 Viewing Range (ft/m): 5-400/1.5-122

• Night-vision monocular for sharp views in pitch darkness
• Infrared spotlight for long-distance illumination
• Rubber armored body with ergonomic shape
• Built-in tripod mount for increased stability

Perfect for night viewing

by J. Deshields from on 2010-04-13
I did not think that this binocular would be a good deal for the money. I really thought it would be like a childs toy or just plain useless. I WAS WRONG!!!! I love my Bushnell Night Watch 2X24 w/Built in Infrared Binocular. There are woods behind my home and my binocular seems to work the darker it is the better the view. It's great to see all of the 4 legged night creatures and the 2 legged "human rats" that might be roaming the woods at night.Bushnell Night Watch 2x24 w/Built in Infrared Binocular

Cool

by J L from big D TX on 2010-01-07
Bought for our 11 year old. He loves it and so does Dad. Works quite well

just some info on nvg's before you buy one

by mijo556 from on 2009-11-05
to the customer who purchased this product and stated that in a dark room, he couldn't see anything, night vision devices aren't made to let you see anything in a dark room without the aid of infra-red. yes, with the infra-red on you were able to see, but thats only because the infra-red is there for use only in poor lighting situations. on a clear night outside with the moon out and plenty of starlight, visibility is pretty good. on a cloudy night, no moon or starlight, visibility with night vision goggles isn't as good anymore. what they're designed to do is amplify the ambient light that is given off by the moon or the stars. indoors with no light source, you wont be able to see anything without using the I.R. mode.also, most civilian model night vision devices use older generation tubes, so the image probably isnt as good as it would be with newer generation tubes. if anyone would like to read more, this is the link that goes more in depth about night vision devices[...]i had to give a rating to post this, so i just went with the 3 stars to say its ok.

good product. does what it says.

by Paul E from Jersey on 2009-07-21
the Bushnell night watch is a good toy, but nothing for serious use.In a dark room I couldn't see anything at all with out the IR light on. No shapes, no outlines, nothing.With the IR light on I could see pretty well in the dark. Focus is not perfectly clear, but adequate. The objective is pretty small, but I can read the label on a cereal box in complete darkness from about 25 feet away. From farther I can make out shapes and outlines.It wasn't exactly a waste of money, but it isn't as fun or useful as I thought it would be, and in hindsight I don't think I'd buy it again.

Fun Binocular

by V. Stenger from on 2009-06-30
Got this for a Fathers Day gift, he loves it!! Of course I had to take it out of the package and try it before we gave it to him, it was just as described. We could see in total darkness, the viewing field is somewhat small up close but it is sufficient to play around with. I could see my dog who was running down the yard, (about 300 or more feet)in total darkness. It is a fun binocular. My dad wanted one to see the wildlife at night at his home.

A lot of fun.

by Gator from on 2010-07-02
I bought this as a gift for my father and have been fortunate enough to enjoy it as well. The image is good, the double focus is good, and the battery life seems fine. I don't see a lot of practical use for this monocular, however it is a lot of fun to play with. An entry level device, decent enough grip, with room to improve the illuminator. Overall I'm pleased with this purchase.

eyesight works better.

by Richard Matusiak from on 2010-08-23
Was mine a defective unit ? put fresh battery in .. read instructions, do use binoculars on a regular basis I know how to set eye piece. This unit had green screen . thats a period . Worked when IR was on. Which leaves a RED BEACON for anyone to see You. Used with cresent moon and starlight. green screen..without IR. I called Company bought through Amazon and will be returning this unit. Seems there will be no problem returning unit, though cost of return shipping. But I don't have a night vision device which I was looking forward to using. So back to reading alot of reviews again, or maybe ill just eat alot of carrots hope my eyesight improves...

Lots to consider...

by Hitchicken from MD on 2010-04-06
Lotsa things to think about...Buy it from Ace Photo Digital, there's no battery. In fairness, while the ad doesn't promise a battery, the fact that it is a specialty battery, it seems annoying that a battery is not included. So be warned; order a battery with this item. It appears not to turn off, but it actually does. A residual charge on the light-amplifier seems to keep it operating even when turned off. Eventually, the charge will bleed off, the unit will shut off. I discovered this when it continued to 'operate' with the battery removed. No drain on the battery... I think. Focus is hard to do... as described by other reviewers, but with effort and patience, you can do a resonable job. It seems to work better for me if I take my glasses off. So much for the cons... The light enhancement is impressive and works great considering the price. The IR improves performance significantly. Overall, it was more than I expected. I'd recommend it to others.

decent little NV scope, does what it says. Battery case is a little senstitive, had trouble with it powering up at first but kicking butt now.

Night scope

by Steven Lefler from Kenai, Alaska on 2009-12-12
Surprisingly good quality for the price.My wife (and me as well) use this scope to watch deer, coons, foxes, and possums in our yard. The quality (gen 1) is not good enough to see details but the above mentioned critters can be identified.I also like sky watching. There are billions of stars up there that cannot be seen with the naked eye!

excellent product

by sewer rat from Brisbane, Australia on 2010-04-07
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.

Full moon rising? Perfect! No moon? Still not bad!

by Rey Muniz from San Antonio, TX USA on 2010-04-07
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.

GREAT

by R. Zelnick from on 2009-07-07
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.

Fantastic for the Price

by Sphaerus from United States on 2008-11-15
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?

the point of night vision

by Sean P. Oloughlin from texas on 2008-09-24
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.

Good Night Vision Monocular

by D. Michael Sanford from on 2010-07-13
I wanted a good night vision monocular to check out the woods behind the house at night since I hear all kinds of sounds but never see anything. The usable visible accuracy of these monoculars are less than 50 yards, so if your looking for a real clear N/V scope these aren't the ones you want. Even at 50 yards, the acuity is not that great although you can make out whether or not your looking at a human or a deer. This monocular is the first generation (the 1+), when you step up to 2nd, or 3rd and 4th generation, the price increases accordingly. I doubt that most people would need a 3 or 4th generation unit, in fact, the US forces rarely use 4th generation, they mostly use the 3rd. The battery usage is minimal but I would go and buy a box of batteries to have in stock. They are not batteries that can be found easily unless you go to Radio Shack or a similar store to buy them. I'm very satisfied with this N/V scope. The covering is water proof as well as the controls. It is not heavy but it is not something you can put in your pocket to carry. It does come with a neck strap. I also has a auto power off to save the battery.

Works well for basic night vision

by M. Taylor from United States on 2010-02-12
The first unit that was shipped to me did not work at all. I returned it to ATN and they shipped me a new unit as soon as they came back in stock.The second unit works fine, the image you get is a greenish glow and we use it to spy on furry little creatures that congregate in our backyard at night. It does not have a great range, so don't expect it to "bring" images closer to you, at least not very much.For the price, it works well. I recommend it to anyone wanting a basic night vision unit.

Night Owl is widely recognized for embracing the latest technology and standards in night vision optics, and the NexGen 4x night vision monocular is no exception. The monocular provides unsurpassed image resolution, with the highest-grade, all-glass, camera-quality objective lens available on a 4x magnifying night scope. The lens creates a 56-foot field of view at 200 feet, helping you spot owls, bats, and other nocturnal creatures while camping, or view terrain and landmarks while working in the evening. Plus, all Night Owl optics are coated specifically for nighttime viewing to further enhance the light gathering and image brightness capacities. As with all Night Owl optical equipment, the NexGen monocular includes a Russian-designed light-amplification module inside the two-piece body. The module's Generation 1 technology amplifies the ambient light by 500x and hurls it against a phosphorescent screen, yielding green but crystal-clear images in near darkness. The monocular also includes a powerful infrared illuminator for use on moonless nights. The illuminator captures the thermal radiation that's invisible to human and animal eyesight, so you can see others without being seen yourself. Add in Night Owl's exclusive steel stringer system for added precision and you have a terrific monocular for just about any nighttime application. Specifications: Magnification: 4x Field of view: 56 feet @ 200 feet Infrared illumination: 32-foot diameter @ 150 feet (12-degree projection angle) Power supply: CR-123/3-volt lithium battery (not included) Dimensions: 7.6 by 3.82 by 2.4 inches (W x H x D) Weight: 14.5 ounces

Description

Bushnell Night Vision products feature a built-in infrared illuminator for enhanced images in very low light for use when camping, exploring caves, patrolling warehouses or other locations where there is no ambient light to amplify. Backed by a 2-year limited warranty, the Bushnell line-up of night vision equipment is lightweight, compact and ready to use for work or for play.

Designed to fit in the palm of your hand, the Bushnell 2.5 x 42 Night Vision Monocular features a built-in dual-power infrared illuminator that works in total darkness and low-light conditions. In total darkness, the monocular sends out an imperceptible ambient infrared beam that allows you to observe objects with no other light source. The low-beam intensity can be used when partial light is available. Offering outstanding viewing clarity and versatility, the 2.5 x 42 monocular allows you to see in the dark without being seen and alerting others to your presence as with a flashlight. Ideal for hunting, scouting games, and security and surveillance, the monocular is lightweight and easy to hold with its included hand strap. The monocular is also equipped with a tripod mount. With a viewing range of four to 600 feet and a field of view of 79 feet at 1,000 yards, the monocular has plenty of power to illuminate the night. The monocular is water resistant and comes with a two-year manufacturer's warranty.

Good unit for 1st generation, but ...

by L. Leuzinger from Pantanal, Brazil on 2010-08-07
Being a first generation scope this is a good one, the IR beam has a good range of about 50 yards. But anyone will see you because the IR lamp is strong and glows red. Things are only sharp in the center of the image, but they look clear and you can identify easily anything up to 50 yards.I bought this to watch wildlife, but honestly a good flahlight will be as good or even better because you'll see it in color.My problem wit it is that I was using a military grade scope prior to this and any comparision is unfair ...

Excellent

by JS Bird from South Africa on 2010-06-05
I am using this Bushnell night vision monocular for security purposes and when my backyard motion sensors (I have a large yard) inform me of abnormal movement. I am now able to experience excellent night vision when I do my own security surveillance from the comfort of my bedroom window. I am not giving it 5 stars as I would imagine the more expensive (military) types should earn all the stars. I am a happy user.

Good Gen 1 device

by Matthew J. Woerly from on 2010-05-19
This product is about as good as you can expect for the price and being a Gen 1 device. It's larger than I expected, a little larger than a small camcorder. It needs a little bit of light to function well. If your eyes adjust to the dark, what you can begin to see, this device brightens up a good bit. What is still too dark is also too dark for the device. It's good at showing detail in dim scenes. It's also good in places where there may be a bright area (where you can see) right next to a dark area. Your eyes have a hard time adjusting to the dark area with bright lights near it. This device allows you to look into the shadows and dark areas and see things your normally can't (of course, don't point it at the bright lights...) The manual says you shouldn't point it at anything brighter than 1 lux for very long. That's about a full moon, maybe a little brighter. The IR light works well out to maybe 50 to 100 feet. It's pretty bright on closer objects. Much further out it doesn't help much. As mentioned in other reviews, it's also really bright if you're looking right at it. If you put something in front of it, you can see the red light shining on it for about a foot. I've considered getting a filter for it, but am not really sure where to look. Some people suggested using primary red and congo blue stage lighting gels, I may do that eventually. I tried a floppy disk, and it helped, but it also made the IR light a lot dimmer for the night vision. Once focused, the image on the device is very sharp. It's distorted around the edges as with any Gen 1 device, but provides a very clear image in the center. I think the 2.5x is a good balance for providing a good angle of view but some magnification also. It's not great for things closer than 20 feet or so, or things over about 200 feet away. When I first turn it on, there are some bright flashes and such as the manual says may happen, but those disappear quickly. The image also kind of flickers, flashing a bit brighter sporadically. Not sure if that's normal, but it's not really that big of a problem. Especially in really dark places (where it's not much good anyway), and also a bit in brighter places, you can see what looks like static in the image. After you turn it off, the image remains for a few minutes before fading away. I found that once you turn it off, the image quality is actually better at first. The static clears up and you get a pretty clear image. The battery compartment can be tight. I have some normal alkalines that went in fine, but I have some rechargeables that are a bit larger that got a bit stuck in there. I was able to line it up on a chair with my DSLR camera and got some decent shots (a little blurry from movement and static), though it's really hard to point it where you want it and have it stay still in the right place. I needed about 10 seconds to get enough light for a good exposure at ISO 1600. It's no high end device but it's still functional and fun to play with. I hope to get some good time using it this summer.

Gift for Son-in-Law

by Lee Paulsel from on 2010-02-18
My son-in-law wanted this type product. I selected this for him. He loves it, so it must be good. He is a professor and very discerning.

casual night vision user

by J. H. Thillmann from NVA USA on 2010-01-18
I bought this night vision instrument to keep an eye on my small dogs when I let them out at night. It does the trick. Its pretty much idiot proof but does take time to get used to it.
