The product itself is a great idea. However, the IR light is very visible to anyone you may be looking at. Also, like with most Generation 1 models the depth perception is an issue as is the field of view. Hence, it doesn't work very well as a "goggle." The definition is better than many Gen-1 models. However, I've seen better light gathering capabilities (with/without IR) using a child's night vision toy for only 70 bucks (Jax night vision for kids). You may want to look at a generation two model instead of this one.

The headset was flimsy and gave me a headache. It was not the same headset as seen in the picture. Also, I hiked with it and could not see much of anything and the images were blurred. It was hard to tell the distance of things like trees and branches. It made the hike unenjoyable. Plus, I bought it for nighttime wildlife viewing, but it lights up at night, making it impossible to hide from wildlife in the dark.

This is one of the best investments ive made in a while.
Perfect for airsoft, and for camping, and for hunting, and for everything involving darkness.
Not the best image, but for the price...... i didnt expect more than this.
It really is much better than i imagined..... installation was really easy.
This is perfect for my needs.

You can see better with the naked eye in pitch black than with this device.
I am not sure what type of quality control ATN have, but it must be fairly low standards if this is the type of devices they are manufacturing.

A dog in a dark night is visible from say 10 -20 yards with the naked eye, but use this ATN Viper and all you see is a blur. It couldn't even really define a huge tree from less than 30 yards, all you see is a big blury something in front of you.
The only way to see in the dark with this is to pack it away and use your eyes.

I tested this in various conditions, full moon, no moon, stars, infra red on/off, different batteries and overall result in this is an expensive piece of nothing.

Great product and would recommend to a friend. This will allow you to illuminate the night. Though it is not a great as the newer generations of night vision goggles it is a geat steal for the price. I have no complaints about the set that i have purchased and have used them in a variety of situations to test them (just for fun) The only thing that could have made them better is getting a goggles set instead of just the monocular set. I have read bad reviews on this when i purchased mine but i honestly do not see what the fuss is, this is a great product!!!

Ok, is not the top top of the line, but it is a great product for the price!
I bought it for my dad and took it to Argentina to give it to him, he was soo happy! My mom keeps on telling me that at night he walks in the garden with it, just to play... he loves it, great toy for big boys.

google is very clear some people say its blurry but you just adjust it...but the headgear is different in the picture :(. it kinda sturdy.Aslso i use it for airsoft and it works great.

There is no way you can keep one eyed closed during the entire time you'd be wearing this; when I initially did a search on Amazon it was for "goggles," not a monocular, so the title is misleading. And having both eyes open while using it isn't an option as what you see out of each eye is quite different. However, ours was defective so this is really a moot point: Regardless of which position the on/off switch is in, the device stays on as long as the battery is installed. So quality-control is obviously an issue in at least a third of cases with this device (given that the other two reviews were both positive).

My son loves this product, he's barely taken it off since we got it a month ago! We did notice that it gives slight tunnel vision, and he does regularly bump into walls, but as he's only 2 1/2 that is to be expected!
These are great, I think everyone should have a pair, and then no one needs to be afraid of the dark! And we save on energy because we don't need lights (as often) mind you, you go through a lot of batteries!!!
