Are Cheap Digital Night Vision Goggles Better Than Nothing?

[GMBStillFree]

I bought some, got them today. I gotta give it to them they are not as bad as I thought. Easily 2-3X better than the CoD going dark toys. Picks up IR light extremely well. A little too far zoomed in but not terrible.

The mount is fairly solid, hardly any play once tightened down and adjusted. Housing seems decent, I wouldn’t try and break them or step on them but I don’t think a head level drop is going to be the end of them. The lens sticks out a decent amount so that would more than likely be the weakest point if dropped.

One slight annoyance is when the unit is on there are 4 little LEDs and a charging port facing you that will be lit up green when on. I put two little pieces of duck tape over them and problem solved. This solves the issue of having green lights in your FOV when trying to aim.

For someone who is just trying to have fun plinking or playing airsoft in the dark this is a decent option without breaking the bank and seeing if it’s something you will actually use.

A huge point the gate keepers of NVG/NODs will bring up is that these will get you killed. If you try and fight a trained force in lethal combat there is no argument against that. That said the majority of us buying and using night vision digital or analog will never see combat and are merely hobbyists. Don’t let those guys stop you from having fun on a budget.

6/10 from me, these will be fun to use and fulfill that itch to try night vision on a budget. Don’t expect miracles but these are absolutely something to buy your kid or get yourself for fun.

Make a duel tube version without cross hairs and youll have a very solid followung

Can’t wait to get my order, hope it’s a unit from the new batch without without the crosshair. Looking forward to giving them a fair review.

That ir illuminator is alot brighter than you think

Which is why analog is king and more expensive

[mattcoombs]

IR for the win!!! Optoeletronic technology never stops to amaze me, so impressive. You guys should look up the newest night vision the army uses called the ENVG-B.

Still searching for the farmers hunting coyotes with super clear night vision/thermal, probably need a second mortgage for those😂

[Lihzahrdwarriors]

It looks like a scam, website is screaming “IM A SCAM”

[awesomeopossum]

Even lower end analog units have better performance and cost less than an iPhone

Bro's like a T72 with IR lamp on to a Abrams 💀

There is an option to remove the crosshairs in the middle!! Just got mine, it’s actually insane.

Make a quad nod version and sell it for $800 but make it better than the CoD dark edition ones but also better than gen 1+

I'm pretty sure it uses infrared, and phones can easily see that (just like the tv remote light), but still they are relatively cheap and they work, that's all you can ask for

[Andino.]

These stuff starts at like $300 bucks, anyone can afford might vision....

[TruthPrevails]

def gonna get them for fun, 200 for a pair actually smooth and i could use for hiking around night for right now. but is there a way to get rid of that green crosshair that shits annoying.

[Beyond_The_Cities]

What's the delay on them, also you should try and make a anolog set from scratch so manufacturers the photocathode and microchannle plate

[Favoritsvid]

Make a video that shows you holding nightvision so we can see if they are visible

[thepaisleyproject]

If you're up against people, especially at a milsim this is a liability. Those milsims, a large portion of them have nods, they will see you for miles.

And most digital pump out near IR light, meaning that the red is still visible on the bulb, making your head the target.

Meanwhile me sitting with real nods looking at the bright ir light walking around
