@davesworld85100 The scope is a NVSP-10 made by Tactical Night Technologies Inc.and the camera isnt very good - Nikon coolpix s210 hope this helps

I just bought a gen 1. It works but only if you're inside a building with rooms and corridors, etc. Out in a forest it becomes disorientating to navigate by, strangely.

@trancehi

unfortunately Gen1 scopes are a poor excuse for night vision. My first scope was a gen1 - used it once, used it twice then it ended up on ebay.

night vision is: Gen2 and up

how much did it cost

[clkbateman]

@gearsofwar20111 £750 from "the bay" and resold 2 years later for £1024

Generation 1 are fine only in full moon.

Also gen 1 offers cleanest view- no "noises" at all

@clkbateman I agree. I wish I never bought them now, Gen 1 is a bit of a toy and wish I added a bit more money to get something more decent. Lesson to all, don't buy Gen 1.

great vid thanks for posting. i am new to night vision, not sure if this applies to all or just gen 3, but i never realized how bad light is for night vision goggles. but it basiclly distorts the image, and makes it heard to see.

I have one of those cheap Night Owl monocular units from Walmart....thing stopped working after 2 years.
