$120 Night Vision That Works (NIGHTFOX 100V)

[@MissionaryForMexico]

The night vision goggles we had in the corp were amazing! I remember one time laying down on the ground looking to the stars on a moonless night. I probably seen millions of stars! back then they cost $10,000. The battery was small, I think it was lithium ion. But it lasted for over 40 hours.

In 1998, while stationed in Hawaii (25th LID) I knew a poor bastard that lost his NVGs during night maneuver training after a mudslide caused him to take a huge tumble. Not only was his leg so seriously injured that he got a medical retirement, He almost lost his M4/203 under the mud and got himself buried. We found him waist deep, luckily and the barrel of his weapon was sticking out about a half inch from the mud. The Army was going to make him pay them 1/2 of the $10k the NVGs were worth, but luckily right after it was determined that the accident wasn’t his fault, a couple combat engineers went out with metal detectors and a mine locator and were able to retrieve his NVGs and they still worked. The whole thing was just chalked up as a learning lesson for everyone about the potential dangers of Mud slides during Night maneuvers.

I have tested it on my Vepr 12 shotgun which is one of my go to home defense guns and can confidently say it will serve me well in the middle of the nyte when clearing my home if something should go bump in the nyte. I was able to get at least 1 occassionally 2 shots of #7.5 shot off while testing before it would shut off i would say due to concussion blast but that is enough assurance for me to take a shot should i ever need knowing that it was an intruder on the other end of the scope and not a loved one, friend or neighbor.

@Blue Dragon Exactly. I've been vaping since 2008, no exploded batteries. Basically every 18650 I've heard of failing catastrophically has been 100% due to user error(or poor design/cheaping out, like in "hover boards"), either in the moment, or previously and to the point the cell was basically hanging on by a thread and eventually went into thermal runaway. As someone who has had to turn more people away than I can count, I can say the average lack of knowledge in end users is kind of sad. So many people have no clue that the 3A ICR18650 they pulled out of their old laptop battery is absolute shit for the 25A application they're using it in and get offended if you try and tell them different, so I frequently have to tell those people to kick rocks. It definitely doesn't help that these people are usually the ones asking for 18v 600w PWM lipo boxes but have no idea what ohms law is or that series batteries need to be balanced -_- in reality though a properly used device running 18650s is no more dangerous to be near your face than your cellphone. If anything cellphones may statistically be more dangerous.

Okay then, we stand corrected. Nice find and review yet again sir.

[@barking.dog.productions1777]

Perfect for the boat while fishing at night. Only thing to make it better would be to be able to power it from a 12 volt or 5 volt external power source, and run a USB or other digital video cable to a computer for night time navigation with a bigger screen. How long do those batteries last, and what is the field of view?

[@getmorecontent.]

Can you see ufo's at night when looking up?

[@HighSpeedNoDrag]

You can see UFOs with your own Eye Balls if the mother f'er are close enough. You know, hovering around the trees at night...…...

[@SuperGiantGeckosLLC]

Exactly

[@neversleep8852]

Santa claus too when he come riding on that sleigh

EXPLORTHEARTH According to some dingbats you can but no proof has been shown.

[@Mrvl1234]

Syrian Army had IR spotlights on their tanks when they attacked Israel. Israeli tank crews literally saw those spotlights from miles away. Might as well use a flashlight and call it night vision because look you turn it on and you can see in the dark.

[@Lonewolf6565]

They saw the IR spotlights because the Israelis were using a newer generation of night vision that didnt need an IR flood light to work. You literally CANT see red IR emitters from miles away without IR optics... If you have passive IR optics they make active IR emitters extremely obvious. If you look at an IR strobe through a night vision optic they look a fucking flashbang grenade going off every few seconds.

Nice to hunt down dogmen at night.

[@mari.be.86]

I do not know why everyone still claims that IR is not visible by human eye. because I can see it, not so much, but when IR diode is on, I see it very good.

[@Squeaky_Ben]

mainly because its near IR. these diodes can be seen by the naked eye, its just that our eyes are not very sensitive to these wavelengths.

[@MrAcuta73]

For $120? Beats the AN-PVS 5's I had way-back when in the Army...probably be better than AN-PVS 7 we had later before I got out with some really minor caveats. Crazy good for the money, really.

[@240pixel]

Not even close to pvs7. You can get gen3 tubes for it that blows this toy out of the water with image quality and battery life alone. Not to mention no need for constant IR illumination

[@martinflanagan7362]

Got one of these myself, good for spotting and bargain of a price. Good review

[@generaltan]

I dont know where I can use this but I really want to have one! Lol

[@007tallguy]

cool! it is a bit misleading though when when you aimed your camera at the IR light. most cameras pick it up much brighter than it is to the naked eye. try aiming your camera (any camera!) at your TV's remote control. the camera will see the little IR led flashing when you push a button.

[@bpati-l5e]

bruh i just ordered some and i dont even hunt or play airsoft i just want nvgs

[@bpati-l5e]

@Joe C only if you can see infrared light you will be able to see it I mean U can with eyes but it's very faint and you will get permanent eye damage

[@bpati-l5e]

@Joe C the red light is infrared light i assume this is under 990 nanometers as its visible so i dont know what you are on about

[@socrates_the_great6209]

Only problem is you have to hold it...for hours at a time lol. And when you want to take a break from holding it everything goes black and you have to stand still to not fall in the dark.

This will come in handy to detect the space aliens that keep stealing beers out of my fridge every night!!

[@spark9615]

Got one for Area 51.

[@jims9406]

i got one for area 54

[@sergiotheg13]

Mines on the way now. See you in the dessert brother! #Area51Vets

[@billy56081]

Being this emits IR light, you will make a good target for the snipers with real night vision.

[@jimf1964]

For that money, I could use them for keeping an eye on my land. But how visible is that red light, and how much higher would I have to go to get rid of it?

[@davejan744]

So how well does it work w I.R. off? Range/ clarity w star/ moonlight??

[@firstnamelastname7347]

It doesn't, it's not an intensifier tube, it's an IR-sensitive camera. Hence the price

[@kmg501]

Just as an experiment you should cover the IR emitter and see how the environment looks..

[@EnglishLaw]

Pitch black. That is the light source.

[@Cetok01]

So it's just an IR viewer with no passive night vision? I guess for the money...

Thanks, I’ll surely use this for uh-

Outside in the rain? Or on your porch looking into the rain? Water resistant? Or water proof?
