I snagged one with the link. I have used it in pitch black and also with ambient light. It works pretty well and is focusable. Bought it for fun. To all of you thinking you can sneak up on people in the dark , be aware that the view screen lights up your face and you very well. But if you are spotting night life it works great. I am considering designing a 3D printed cell phone adapter. Tripod mount it and see what gets picked up.
i would assume with an OD or black towel draped around your head you might be able to smother out some view screen light of your position in bush..?? give it a try let me know?
@@f.e.r.t Mine is high ISO with the r11 model. Meaning its display is showing an image quality brighter than what you'd pick up with the naked eye outside of the night vision setting. But its got about a 12 inch eye relief and a 1.5 inch screen. So dont expect to helmet mount it without serious DIY as its meant to be more of a camera with a viewfinder kind of setup. If youre not using it as a camera its just ok to Surveil as a fixed 5x monocular with a long eye relief. I used the Night vision function to find my cat in my backyard in pitch black for practice and it worked. But extremely limited FOV with the lens its got in it. So took a minute to scan around before I found her.
Bought this after your video last Friday. With the codes it was under $60.00. I got it Sunday with Prime shipping and I can't believe how clear it is for the money. Definitely happy with the purchase.
I have a question for you, on Amazon they have another version of this for 79.00 . . . It’s called Kinka night vision monocular, is this the exact same unit just a different name on it ??
I bought this camera on Amazon through your link. I'm having a weird issue where when IR mode is activated there are some serious scan lines visible in the monitor and videos/photos. Any idea what this might be or how to fix it? I have tried various resolutions and have it set to 60hz. Thanks in advance.
I snagged one last week (through your link) after you did a video on it. I haven't tested it out yet. Thanks for the great service you continue to provide.
Thank you brother we have a lot of night vision and thermal actually this product was viewed by one of us I told him the other day that I was going to buy one... Keep up the good work Patriot
I ordered one of these from the Friday deals vid. Received it yesterday. Returning it today. I didn't find the screen very clear. Just didn't work for me. Keep 'um comin'.
Can you put together like a simple little shroud so the light from the screen does illuminate the viewer’s face? And are there infrared light bulbs you can exchange for your front porch lamp?
How do I zoom out more with this camera? I just bought one but it seems to be still super zoom in and using the zoom in and zoom out button don’t work.
Thank you, excellent review. I just ordered one of these because it looks absolutely perfect for camping. If Im moving around after dark, or just looking at the wildlife, its a nice way to do it without changing your light profile. A cautionary note: IR is apparently not great from a "tactical" perspective. If there is anyone around with grown-up NVGs or passive infrared optics, when you turn on the IR lamp you will light yourself up like a Christmas tree. Probably more of an issue if you are stealth camping on a private estate or being hunted down by a seal team lol, but worth noting. I know some park rangers use quite good night vision optics now for hunting down illegal campers. Thanks again.
Bought one, using the second code. I'm liking it! It is no where near as good as one for several thousand dollars. But it's more than worth it's price. The passive is less the "meh", but I wouldn't expect it to. It's IR though is really good. This isn't for tactical situations because of the the screen. Might buy another one.
I have bought one, and have done the same question in other videos or forums with no answers. I'm planning to make a modification myself, by unscrew the lens and fixing a thread of M42 to exchage the lens, I think would worth it because the sensor is very good, and the videos are very clear. I will let you know if it works !
How sensitive and useful is it with ambient lighting? Does it require the illuminator to really be useful? An illuminator will give you away big time to anyone else around with NVGs on.
I just received mine today thinking I would be able to do what you're describing. The gun is really blurry because the focus is 10+ feet in front of you. It's also not the kind of monocular you hold up close to 1 eye. Imagine a small tv screen not glass that you look into. It could be done if you were stationary but you're not going to clear your house. It's best use is scanning a field at night.
Yep. I got a PVS-14 clone, for $260. (brand name is Canis Latrans, and after I bought mine I found others new for ~$165). It's crystal-clear, mostly high-impact plastic and aluminum body, displays high-hertz, and mounts to both helmet mounts and to my rifle via a standard pvs-14 rifle mount (mine is a Sightmark slide-to-side). I'll have to use silicone or get some fingernail polish to waterseal it, and a battery-delete kit can eliminate the 2 AA batteries, plus I already got a working test with a 17.6 amp-hour battery pack, running through a voltage regulator to the optic. It only draws ~.312 to .342 amps, so that translates (average) to 17.6 hours x ~3 which is 53 hours. It was cool AF to mount it to my ballistic helmet, but it was just too awesome having it on my 10.5". :)
Sorry, wait. A PVS-14 clone, meaning a PVS-14 chassis for $260? Or are you implying you also got a photon amplification tube and a clone chassis for $260 and saw others for $165? For this price point I'd assume a CMOS web camera with the IR filter removed, which is what OP is talking about. But actual amplification tubes cost $1K+ for factory rejects from Russia, to $30K for a factory pass from America or above for acceptable or above standards (i.e. no defect, or milspec). Are we talking about the same equipment?
@@bashkillszombies Sorry bro. digital night vision is whats hot now. They make PVS-14 look like blurry black and white dog water.Youre outclassed. But theyre civilian unobtainium.
If you have a old camera take out the red filter in the front lense and get a ir light. All camera and video recorder can be night vision for cheap.👍👌✌️💯🥂😉
Great video but my 4k IP cameras w/IR can display much clear and further in black & white or full color display at night on large 4k monito or tv screen.
I still have my PVS-14's from the Army that I never signed a RFI hand receipt for from Afghanistan I kept. I can get a full nights use from a set of 123 bats.
Just like the Taliban, they never signed a receipt for NVGs - US left 16,000+ for the Taliban. Unknown of the types of NVGs that were “given” to the Taliban, but the GAO stated over 16k are now in the hands of the Taliban.
Why would that matter in less your a peeping Tom and don't won't to be seen by people any animal is not going to care they usually look in to the light that's why it's illegal to spot light hunt for animals and most places at night it's illegal to hunt.🤭👍👌✌️💯🥂

Good idea
Any idea what the battery life is and is it rechargeable. I guess if that price you could buy batteries

Thanks from Texas! I just bought one and used your code. Bought it just to have fun..can't beat the price.
I have a question for you, on Amazon they have another version of this for 79.00 . . . It’s called Kinka night vision monocular, is this the exact same unit just a different name on it ??
Could this be cowitnessed with an scope or mounted to a helmet?
is the night vision strictly 3x magnification or can it be changed to 1x

How does it hold up to recoil? Tripod to Picatinny Rail is an option. it was 100.10 with warranty plan.
Great salesman where can I find a discount coupon keep the good work up thanks.
Hello ,can be use for close range indoor orientation ? thanks
Can it be used for sky watching ?
704 tactical what is the difference between these night vision and the creative xp? They look similar but price is not.
Does the SD card have to be formatted on a computer before using?
Any idea of any programs that will add colour (easily) to the recordings?
Can you put together like a simple little shroud so the light from the screen does illuminate the viewer’s face? And are there infrared light bulbs you can exchange for your front porch lamp?
Will you show the passive video footage with the illuminator off? I used a similar video camera NV and it was a black screen in very low light.
in this price-range without the IR illuminator it will show pitch black
Great review much appreciated! I just ordered it just for fun hiking etc etc
@@f.e.r.ti know its old comment but no. its good for spotting.

I have several in my collection and they perform pretty good and a much-needed tool for today's world.

What about stars
Can i see all the stars very clearly in this night vision?
Hey 704, picked up one of these and so far so good. Have you looked into possibly mounting this co witness on a rifle?
I sure have been contemplating that. Not sure how it will work.
@@dalemyers9045 me too, just not sure if it could handle the recoil.
I got one and I live in the country and for me it works fine will be handy when SHTF.
Will you do a video about the best night vision without an illuminator ?
Yes. You may as well be walking around with a string of christmas lights.
can you mount it on a helment
How sensitive and useful is it with ambient lighting? Does it require the illuminator to really be useful? An illuminator will give you away big time to anyone else around with NVGs on.
Yes. Any digital device pretending to be night vision requires IR illumination.
@@Ashley-1917 Non-digital devices (Gen 1 , at least) require IR illuminator as well.
@@fugomaye396 Gen 1 is irrelevant.

What is the minimum magnification this monocular can do while using night vision?
The best I can tell is 3x optical (won't go any lower) and then digital zoom up to 5x. A wider angle would have been nice though.

My old phone the moto z 4 has night mode and it works great same as this device your showing but a whole lot better.
Do u know if rechargeable batteries will work with this device?
I’m not 100% sure
I tried rechargeable Duracell batteries, unit turns on with a low battery reading and they couldn't run the IR.
Use a more powerful IR illuminator and these things improve greatly as do they all.
Time to duct tape 2 wooden wedges and 4 of these cameras together to make bubba’s quad nods
