Rating: Summary: Solid unit Review: As a retired military guy I can't help but be interested in this type of technology. When I was in, we used third generation night vision. If anyone can actually afford these type of units I would look into it. But the reality of the situation is that most people can't spend that kind of money on such "toys". For Gen 1 units I really like the NVMT 4x50. If you do your research you will find that the resolution in this unit is better than most. I just ordered the rifle scope upgrade (from another site) and look forward to using that. (I live in Kansas which is full of prairie dogs but not for long.) I bought a Bushnell unit two years ago which is still going strong but the housing on this one is a much newer design. I have had freinds who have used ATN and Night Owl with varying degrees of success so do your research and make sure you get a good warranty.
Rating: Summary: Fun Tme Review: I got the night vision last week and me and my son used it over the weekend. In what will be one of the last warm weekends of the year, we had a great time. We were able to see the stars (which my son loves) and look into the woods at the edge of my property. It was clear and very easy to use, two on/off buttons, no complaints. My son and I had a great time this weekend.
Rating: Summary: Night Vision Review: I take my NVMT 4x50 to the deer lease. At night when there is nothing to do I sit in my blind and look through the night vision. Last week I saw a 14 pt. buck getting a drink from the river that runs through. It was so neat to be able to see this at night. Too bad I never see this big of deer during the day, but I sure did like seeing it at night. This is something new and different for me to do on my trips.
Rating: Summary: Pretty cool Review: My wife bought this for me after I found something similar but not liking it. On a camping trip a month and a half ago I ended up leaving our camp at night and wondering around the woods just being curious. It worked well and had an IR which was like an internal flashlight. Overall I give it a high rating, did just what I wanted and had a 3 year warranty. This one also has different accessories lenses, headmounts, riflekits. I haven't used these yet but I thought it was a cool idea.
