Night Owl Xgen 2.1x Digital Vision Viewer

Für die umgehende Lieferung gibt es schon einmal einen Stern. Es war meine erste Erfahrung mit einem Nachtsichtgerät überhaupt. Graustufen mit unerwarteter Auflösung innerhalb der 70 m-Distanz. Sehr gut! Deutsche Anleitung vorhanden, allerdings sollte die Batteriebestückung sorgfältig erfolgen. Das Einprägen der +/- Kennung wäre da hilfreich. Insgesamt kann das Gerät bestens empfohlen werden.

Scope is small and light; a bit awkward to focus, but it focuses well. The image is well defined in very low light. Sighting through an open window can be problematic since the built-in light can reflect off the window casing and overpower the image tube. Inside a home it works very well and I could read my 6 inch wall clock very easily in total darkness (self illumination by the scope, that can not be turned off). A hand strap would be very useful as the hand-held image can shake in your hand. I will also equip it for use on a tripod. For less than $100, I don't think it can be beat. P.S. it can see stars in the dark sky; a bit blurry, but it is not really designed for astronomy.

I bought this as a present for a friend so only got to use it once. It was great.

I have to be honest, this is one of those things I didn't at ALL need, but it is far too cool to not have. Simply, it works. I'm impressed! There is a little digital screen that seemingly has some control options (with which I haven't yet fully oriented myself), and has a brilliant display. There is a wide allowance for the focus, also. This monocular functions flawlessly in low-light settings, through to pitch-black darkness (the darker, the better, because of the infrared). Great gear to have, because you never know when you might need to see in the dark without the attention (or irritation) of a bright flashlight.

This Night Owl Optics "XGEN 2X Digital Night Vision Monocular" is a good value for a very functional, low-end night vision monocular. The monocular is very small and lightweight, making it perfect for camping or adding to a "Bug Out Bag". The optical quality is better than expected and the IR emitter does a nice job lighting up a dark room. The unit has two lenses, each with a focus that must be set in conjunction to optimize the picture clarity. The unit also has a "mode" setting that adjusts the IR emitter power and frame-rate to get the best performance for the operating environment. The included "pleather" carrying case is functional, but nothing special. I very much like that it takes standard three standard AA batteries (not included), which are always easy to get. This is not a high-end unit, but it is not priced like one either. Recommended! CFH
