Night Owl is widely recognized for embracing the latest technology and standards in night vision optics, and the Explorer Marine 4x night vision monocular is no exception. The device offers a completely waterproof design that floats if dropped in the water, making it a great choice for nautical use or search and rescue operations. Just as importantly, the monocular provides unsurpassed image resolution, with the highest-grade, all-glass, camera-quality objective lens available on a 4x magnifying night scope. The lens creates a 56-foot field of view at 200 feet, helping you see other boats, landmarks, whales, and other subjects. Plus, all Night Owls are coated specifically for nighttime viewing to further enhance the light gathering and image brightness capacities. As with all Night Owl optical equipment, the Explorer Marine monocular includes a Russian-designed light-amplification module inside the two-piece body. The module's Generation 1 technology amplifies the ambient light by 500x and hurls it against a phosphorescent screen, yielding green but crystal-clear images in near darkness. The Explorer Marine also includes a powerful infrared illuminator for use on moonless nights. The illuminator captures the thermal radiation that's invisible to human and animal eyesight, so you can see others without being seen yourself. Add in Night Owl's exclusive steel stringer system for added precision and you have a terrific monocular for just about any nighttime application. Specifications: Magnification: 4x Field of view: 56 feet @ 200 feet Infrared illumination: 32-foot diameter @ 150 feet (12-degree projection angle) Power supply: CR-123/3-volt lithium battery (not included) Dimensions: 7.6 by 3.82 by 2.4 inches (W x H x D) Weight: 14.5 ounces
Beware this thing have no zoom!!!! Ok my mistake.... the seller never claim that this device actually have a zoom feature, but I was mislead by the part where it claim that it does have 4X optics but anyway. Putting that aside the Night Vision feature does work properly. I give it one star just because I think that at this price it should have a zoom. You can find cheaper devices with pretty good zoom. If you don't need or want a zoom monocular this should be fine for you.
