Night Owl 3.1x Discovery Night Vision Monocular w/I/R Illuminator Reviews
But it works very good out side, in closed area the bright light can really be unpleasant for your eyes. I can see a clock against wall in my living room im complete darkness at 24 four feet. but you really can see in complete darkness so that is the point of the IR. I got one of this and I really love, its not the best one, you know, but for the price, I paid $91.00 used one. And the diopter has very good focus, very clear picture.This one is better than Yukon NVMT 4x50mm gen 1st (Mfr#24027) because I bought both and returned the Yukon.
Another strange requirement of the instrument is that the batteries are recommended to be removed if not used for 24 hours. The Night Owl Optics monocular had a major flaw as soon as I started using it. Occationally the unit would create a large snap(arcing noise) and emit a bright flash of light from the eyepiece. If one is using the instrument, the light actually hurts the eye. They told me to ship it at my expense.
Other than the above, the monocular has performed well. epilogue-Night Owl Optics did repair the unit and returned it. The system uses high voltage derived from 2-AA bateries. I do not know the result of the repairs as it is still in transit. I have returned the monocular to Night Owl for repairs.
I could recommend this to wildlife watchers who might be considering their first night-vision device. Since this was my first, I have no comparative information on whether there might be better ones out there. Not bad, on the whole, for watching wildlife in the dark. Good illumination and nice balance between magnification, field of view, and use w/o a tripod. Sharpness falls off at the edges of the viewing area.
Hello, I'm glad with this product, I haven't try it yet outside my house but in a really dark condition it works pretty well, I need to turn on the IR button and clearly I can read even a sign on a bottle in total darkness. this thing really works
100 bucks is not too much of a waste, but if you are serious about nightvision you should spend about 10 times as much. Once I spotted a deer and turned on the "IR" illuminator, and the deer ran away - not too surprising, it is actually a red light and totally visible for most animals. I bought this item over a year ago, and it has never served for anything. This is a first-generation nightscope, and has a very small range of utility: If there is a little light, the adapted human eye sees better, and if there is almost no light the device does not see either. Better use a flashlight.
