Night Owl Explorer Pro 5x Night Vision Scope w/I/R Illuminator August 14, 2005 20 out of 20 found this review helpful
For the price, you can't go wrong with this Generation 1 optic. I've used it in near to total darkness and the visual imagery is very clear. Using this device, you can detect small animals to large objects with ease and the clarity has impressed me. It is true that Generation 2-3 optics offer greater clarity and range, but you will also have to spend at least $1000.00 to get these results. For most people, the Night Owl 5X monocular will more than meet desired expectations. I highly recommend this product.
OUTSTANDING TECH-TOY! March 18, 2006 20 out of 20 found this review helpful
First, I know next to nothing about the technical aspects of these products. I've had this model for a month and here's what I know: This monocular is lightweight and very easy to use (just 3 buttons). I bought the inexpensive battery at the supermarket. At night with a distant street light and a quarter moon I could just make out the form of a cat over a hundred feet away, but with the infrared spotlight switched on I could see the cat in detail, like it was the middle of the day. I read the reviews of all the night vision products and decided on this slightly more expensive model. You can get some for less money, and they might be just as good; I don't know for sure. I went with this one and love it! If it suddenly dies on me or works poorly, I'll write another review to let you know.
Very nice unit September 3, 2006 18 out of 19 found this review helpful
I have used several types of night vision, 3rd generation that is, but as many of us can see, 3rd generation aint cheap. I went with this particular n/v because of price, and a fellow Deputy friend of mine owns one, and said he liked his. I have only one complaint the weight, it's a little heavy, but well built. Turn on the I/R, and wham it's like turning on a spot light, nice unit, works well, and if your interested in a great little night vision unit, you can't go wrong, quality product great price. Hope this helped....
Best you can get December 25, 2004 17 out of 19 found this review helpful
Great product, and it's the best you'll find for Generation 1 night optics. Unless you want to go spending $1,000-4,000 for Generation 2 or 3 night optics, this is a good buy, and in a decent price range. It does what it advertises, and that's the important part.
Update on my first review February 15, 2005 16 out of 18 found this review helpful
In my first review I mentioned that the electronics often shut down. I called Night Owl and they said to send the scope in. They found that the power pack needed replacement. The service was good (no charge), I got it back within two weeks of sending it in and the problem was corrected. I have since tried the scope on streets with street lights. The shadows are light enough to see what you can't with unaided eyes and the 5 power magnification helps a lot. Still having fun with this one!
