moved this review because I wanted to make a video showing how well it works. Well, I keep hesitating, so I figured I'd better at least go ahead and give my 2 cents here. I don't really need them. I don't hunt and really have no reason to own a set. I fish at night so it might be fun to take them out and play with them. I can definitely see myself taking them out when I'm on a boat at night. Anyway, I've tried them a few times now and they work very well. I was surprised at how well they actually worked. I am a former soldier and we have used some of the best night vision goggles and while they certainly aren't as good as this one I assure you they are a very capable product. My sons had never seen night vision and of course their minds were blown away. You must have played with them for hours (they ran out of batteries). This device has some great features like capturing and taking photos. They're not military-grade durable, that's for sure. They feel kind of fragile. They're lightweight, but the material is cheaper than your premium devices. I'm not sure how well they would survive a drop or two. You can use them over your glasses so that's a plus but I didn't really need to. I wear contact lenses but I put on my glasses to see and although they fit well over her I was surprised to see that I could see without glasses or contacts. I'm blind as a bat, but I reckon the screen is close enough to my face that prescription glasses weren't really a factor in using it. The biggest downside I can see with these are the batteries. It uses a lot and you have to replace them. It would be nice if it was rechargeable but you can use rechargeable batteries so not a big problem. It would just be nice to be able to plug it in and not have to worry about changing batteries.
