night vision

[Guest oldskool]

i was just wondering wat people thought of night vision binoculars? there is a minocular on ebay going for about £65 includin pp. i enquired about a set [bANNED TEXT] i was working and had the cash but i was advised to forget about the gen 2 crap cuz they are no good for spotting foxes etc. the next step was to look about military but the cost was nearly a grand! has anyone used them and wat are theyre thoughts on them? foxes are green now but they wont be in another couple of months!

I have a gen 1 monocular, it works but I needed to keep re-focusing, and they eat batteries for fun.

Still got it but went back to using a lightforce 170 with a dimmer.

I would like to try gen 3 though, apparently you dont need to keep re-focusing.

if u do spot a fox with the gen 2, wat sort of distance wud it be?

[Guest oldskool]

is there a big difference in the gen 3,, other than the price lol?

I would say I could spot a fox at 150 yards with gen 1 monocular, only by the eyes shining though, just same as with low power lamp. if you wanted to identify clearly, then it would need to be 70 yards max.

I found gen 1 ok aslong as there was atleast 1/4 moon. But batteries cost a mint.

after a look at digital camcorders we reckon the nite vision on them coupled with an ir filter for the lamp should work well. llol,, we can then make videos from the outcome of a nights outing ( that will be comedy at its best :11: ). i can get the flip up ir filter for the blaserlite at £30. [bANNED TEXT] i get work again i think this is the way il go! thanks for the replys folks
