flounder Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 Dont waste your money on that stuff. Youre better off with a flashlight than those things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedytriple Posted December 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 So you're saying a good flash light is better then this? And I am being serious. I have never used night vision equipment before(beside my kids spygear toy stuff)http://sport.woot.com/offers/pulsar-edge-gs-super-1-1x20-nv-goggles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flounder Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 I havent played with it personally but NVD's are one of those things where you really do get what you pay for. And sadly $500 isnt even a drop in the bucket when talking NVD.My Fenix TK15-S2 400lumen flashlight will easily light up a target out to 100-150 yards so when comparing the cost difference, you can do the math.

speedytriple Posted December 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 So I would be better off with a spot light then? That sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flounder Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 So I would be better off with a spot light then? That sucks.Pretty much. But again, if you are happy with its performance than go for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1crusher Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 Those are probably using GEN1 technology which is not very good to say the least. If you are serious about NV you'll want GEN3 stuff and it will run you $4k and up.Just sayin'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gump Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 Russian Gen1 monocular w/infared, works for me. No zoom though. Good to about 200 yards. FLIR's got my attention. Thermal, and they are coming down is price. Be good for game.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got invited to their private party 2 years ago (about 25people total) at SHOT and got to see their military and Prototype stuff that was coming out. We got to play with it all and all I can say is if I had unlimited funds, I would have one of each. The NV and Thermal stuff they make is #1.Talk about a kid in a candy store! If you werent a US citizen, you could not even look at the stuff they had brought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron505 Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 The element of surprise doesn't quite work with a spotlight/flashlight....at least not in my situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AWW$HEEET Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 why is the technology so expensive that the prices are that high? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
