I like this night vision monocle. It is not half as good as my Army issued night vision helmet mounted monocle which is the only thing I have to compare. But I think this item is good. I like its features, battery seems to have a long life so far. Also, to be fair, I haven't had the chance to use it in an environment for which it is designed. I live very close to Los Angeles- lot's of light pollution.
For me the price was right, and even trying test it in the city- I still think this night vision scope is decent. I recommend this for anyone who is new to this technology and on a tight budget. If you have money, you should not be here reading this- go get one of those FLIR/thermal/night vision combo scopes starting on the low at about $2,000 up to $10K and beyond: )
