Best option for affordable 1X nvg
Pretty great for the money. Obviously this isn't a high end 3rd or 4th gen nvg so it's not fair to compare this to it. This is one of the few affordable night vision kits currently available with a 1X zoom. So if you want a 1X NVG without dropping 1 to 15 grand, this is your best bet right now. While this is a 1X zoom and technically you COULD go with it, I wouldn't recommend doing it much unless you have to. The screen is small and can be quite confusing. Better than nothing but not great for walking around. The IR lights built into the set are not 940nm which means the lights are visible to the naked eye. This isn't a big deal for me as I also bought a separate 940nm light to use instead. Just leave the device in IRO mode so the built-in lights don't come on. If the visible IR lights aren't a problem for you, they work as is. The device is quite small and light, so no problem with the weight on your head when carrying it. Overall I would recommend to anyone who wants an affordable 1X nvg but understands you are buying a <$200 NOT $3k 3rd gen device.
