This is a GREAT product. Doing your research like I did? you can stop here. The lighting is amazing and if you turn on the built-in IR, there's nothing you can't see. The only 2 pieces you have to keep track of is the battery spring and cap. I was looking for something to play with and I got a real professional grade product.

As for the guy who gave it 2 stars, the one who said it wouldn't shut off right away, that's because scopes retain whatever light they are able to trap. The light dissipates after about 30 seconds, he just had to wait.

I'm just getting over a very bad experience with tigerdirect, so I thought I'd warn you all. I ordered the Yukon Advanced Optics 2x24 Night Vision Monocular new, thinking it was coming from amazon.com for some reason (of course I found out later it was from tigerdirect.com). It arrived not looking new at all. The box wasn't sealed and there were no instructions. No problem if it worked, but it did nothing but light up indicating it was supposedly turned on. Definately broken.

I wrote tigerdirect, got a return authorization number and spent $15 mailing it back to be replaced I thought.

Almost a week after they recieved it (I had delivery confirmation), I wrote to find out what was happening with it only to receive a reply 2 days later telling me that they don't exchange products bought over amazon.com and supposedly I was refunded the money. My account isn't showing it yet, but I'm assuming they are good for their word on that.

Not neccessarily a bad company, I'm sure it isn't standard practice for them to send defective merchandise, but the customer service was almost nonexistant. Had I known I wasn't going to receive a working product in exchange, I would have bought another (from someone else) last week.

Just a warning fyi, you may be better off buying from one of the other vendors on amazon.com if you are going to get this.

I'm new to the night vision world, but I'm happy with my little Gen 1 yukon unit. Initially I wasn't very impressed (I think we are all a little spoiled by seeing the night vision footage on TV) but after a little more practice/ use I'm more than satisfied. The IR illuminator really makes the difference here. Also the weight is fantastic-- very light. Way to go Yukon!

I was considering a Night Owl night vision when I ran across this NVMT 2x24. In my ignorance I based my purchase purely on looks, thought the NVMT just looked cooler (don't know anything about night vision). Got it at the house on Friday and have no regrets. Small, almost fits in my pocket. Not heavy at all, focuses good. My cat knocked it off my kitchen counter and it still works. I got on the yukon americas site and saw they have a camera adapter, need that.

My buddie bought this night scope from Famous Trails from Big 5 and what a dog. We get together and we play paintball and often way too late for us to see anything. Last time he was using it and was able to get some cheap shots on us. We are planning to go again and I am totally going to get him back. My Yukon 2x is really cool, works well - clear and I can see much father than the one his got like 5 or 6 times. Hehe. I am looking at getting the head mount on Amazon to go open sights. If you are going to use it for paintball or airsoft I suggest saving yourself the time and getting it with the kit and everything. Anyway, if you are looking for a good night vision this is the best I have seen.

I used this NVMT for the first time last night while handing out candy on my porch. I didn't spook the younger kids but I definetely made some of the older ones jump. My wife and i had a blast. The NVMT itself is small. The buttons are in a perfect place so you don't have to move your hand around to push them. It has a fucus on the objective lens and on the eyepiece which I though was easy to focus in on people. I liked the night vision overall, I'll keep it handy for home security. Pretty straightforward and practical.

Delivered on time and performed just as described and met expectations. Given as a gift to someone who has deer, bears etc. in his back yard and he was thrilled.

When I opened the inner package it was obvious that the monocular had been used and returned. Also I noted the product was made in Russia. Both of these facts should be listed in the ad and the item sold as used versus new. I returned the product and my refund was handled rapidly, as always.
