I was blown away at the hundreds of yards of view with these night vision binoculars! Unmatched, as I also own night vision monocular or single sight IR which can barely see 10 feet! I live next to a very large cranberry bog and watched a cayote, at 300 yards in complete darkness, walk along the far bank. Amazing

I just purchased these binocs from Amazon and before I received them I was fearful of what I ordered. I was more than pleasantly surprised by what I got. First, it took no time at all to get them(2 days!). Second, these things do exactly what they're supposed to do, let you see in the dark. We watched deer for hours in total darkness. It was a 3/4 moon and they gathered so much light, they did not have to be switched on! The infrared is also great! I watched mice running around a brush pile in pitch black. Well worth the money! I compared prices and this is in line with other sellers(better than most).

these binoculars really work well. i had purchased a monocular, with little magnification, and was displeased (returned it). this has enough magnification, but not too much (otherwise your field of view becomes very small and hard to focus). the "high beam" infrared is also real nice. we've been watching nocturnal animals from our second story window with clarity and ease.

I've never owned any night vision product, but always wanted one. Decided on the binoculars for night viewing of animals. These binoculars are awesome. With some ambient light, you can see clearly for hundreds of yards. In complete darkness, the IR works great. I was not sure about generation one technology, put these are great for what I want them for.

Was kind of worried buying a product that was only in the gen 1 class. All my worry was relieved after looking through them. The IR light isnt always needed, but when used i watched coyotes at 200 yards and could easily tell what they were. Very glad i got these.

The spec did say 70ft or so but I did expect some capability beyond that distance. Also, the sensitivity of the lense means you have to be very careful in any direct light.
Also, diagram in book had buttons marked wrong way round!!
Be careful when using!!

For the price you can't go wrong! Works great for peering into the night. When I bought them I was hesitant spending the money, but after I got them they are worth every penny.

Field of vision was very distorted and fuzzy even after focusing. Objective focus wheel very difficult to turn. Unit was quite a bit heavier than I expected and fatigues the arms and shoulders after a short time. Cannot recommend.

A good Generation One night vision binoculars for the five minutes I have been able use them since purchasing them two days ago. Will get the ultimate test in Yellowstone viewing elk in rut this coming September 2011!!
