Night Vision Monocular - Nightfox Prowl, HD Recording, 32GB, 1x Magnification, Head Mounted, 54° Wide FOV, Dual IR 850 & 940nm, Airsoft NVG for Helmet

2 Ok so after buying the swift and having issues with the eye relief I returned that and bought the Prowl instead . This has good eye relief and makes the difference between a soft image to a sharp image . So this is going to be a long term review and will be added to as time goes by . So in the box comes everything you need to start up inc a hard storage case that's a good quality item as is the charge lead and the head mount it also comes with a helmet mount for airport and a lens cover . Once unpacked charged and fitted the eye relief was set and provided a clear sharp image that git better as I played around with the settings, tmThe nightvwas clear with no moon and was dark . The unit works well with no IR illumination switched on which on a dark night was ok but with cloud cover it's pretty good this gets better with the IR illumination switched on and has settings from 1 to 5 and a 3x zoom it also has a back-light screen function that makes the image brighter to the eye . So taking the dog for a walk into the moors with no torch the unit worked well and enabled me to see the dog and surrounding area with ease and I can see this being useful for night observation of wildlife or shooting. I intend to use it for night fishing as I have lost some big carp at the net by them spooking when they see the head torch so this may be a worthwhile investment and I will add more info and video as the fishing season gets underway . The one issue I had was walking around it sometimes was a little uneven as the depth perception is lost but I have a feeling that two units may solve this and Nightfox sell a bar that enables two units to be mounted together although this would be an expensive setup to solve the dept perception issue so I'm undecided to fork out the extra as yet and I'll keep you updated on this . The aftersales from Nightfox is simply awsome and even answered emails on Christmas day I've never had that kind of service and it's a measure that company's should mark themselves by . All in all upto now its a good little unit that's well made well presented and packaged is easy to use and may well be able to help in landing more fish ,time will tell and I'll report more as its used so check back for more

Very good NVG. Well made and works well in night time viewing.

A good item shame its digital and not analogue. A proper set of optics would cost a few grand.

Very good value for such an excellent product.

I so wanted this to work for me！The build quality, head mount, video footage are GREAT. There are so many positives from my experience with the Prowl. However the viewing screen really lets this down. It only has 320x320 resolution (very poor and unnessary in this day and age). The viewing is not at all as good as the recording. Any footage that you see on utube ( and I have seen hthem all prior to my purchase) is all based on the recorded image, so when you see the smooth, relatively non pixelled footage, this is not what you see in the view finder. The image is very grainy and it is very difficult to identify wildlife at night. The whole screen is made up of very visible dots. This in a perhaps airsoft (not that I am fully aware of this activity) ,situation may not be a deal breaker. I am not experienced in night vision and this product probably produces a realistic combat image. The software really lets this unit down. If you accidently press a button out of sync, the unit invariably locks up, this has been mentioned in other reviews. This will result in a system reset. I have reluctantly returned the unit, as I mentioned I really wanted this to work for me I have now purchased (although not really what I wanted) a 4 k hand held unit, I feel it is unfair to mention the make, however the image quality and recording is truly amazing!! Unfortunately, it is larger and does not have that wonderfull 'green screen' In closing, lets end on the positives; Build quality, excellent, Weight, excellent. Video, very good. Head mount and ease of use, amazing. Illumination, very good. Overall package, looks, presentation, first class. If Nightfox, improve on the negatives, they will have a FIRSTCLASS piece of equipment, and I will RUSH to buy one. Alan

Not worth it for viewing wildlife. It doesn't have much range and the picture is very grainy. If you actually take time test before deciding it's not for you, you don't get a full refund from the seller. Avoid.

Great product, easy to set up and use. Great for the price, easy to use menu, good battery life

Clear image, adjustable focus and dioptre, white phosphorus (blue tint) green phosphorus, black and white and inverted green settings, adjustable zoom 1-3x. What else could you want for £200

Funciona perfectamente y cumple muy bien su propósito, funciona correctamente en completa oscuridad y recomiendo actualizar a su versión 31 desde la pagina oficial.

This holds up really good, live in the middle of the desert with no lights anywhere and this thing is like having a huge flashlight without giving away your position. You're able to see about 100+ meters with IR 5 and even further with a IR light equipped to a rifle. Quality is really great and the headstrap fits nicely just like a GoPro headstrap. Overall do 100% recommend the prowl 2 for budget night vision.

First night vision Im trying and I am impressed. High framerate mode allow me to walk in the forest without motion sickness. Field of view takes some getting used to but from the listing, the cheaper ones are so much worse. Good to know you cannot look trough windows with this.

The Prowl is as advertised: it's a superb digital night vision device set at an appropriate price with awesome extras! I think that I need to address this first: it is NOT US military analog night vision, and it is not supposed to be. This monocular is a digital night vision device with [some] low latency lag that gets you into the night vision "game" as a complete package. I feel like I can't stress enough that the value of the product combined with the head mount is incredible. The device allows you to see a long distance with some ability to distinguish gradient color patterns. It absolutely relies on additional IR light. The onboard IR light is FANTASTIC and can give the optic the ability to see just past 100 yards. You're not going to be sneaking around on a moonless night without the IR... or on a full moon night without the IR either. But it's not advertised to do that - this won't make you silent, give you muscles, or replace a decade of special operations experience; but it's not advertised to do that either. The lag is noticeable, but easy to manage. I can easily walk around the house, inside and outside, and perform tasks with the monocular with little issue - it's more of a "training" issue as opposed to a device issue. You won't buy this and then write a book about killing Bin Laden, but you will buy it and be very satisfied playing airsoft in the dark. The additional features offered by the device are very welcome. The video recording is nice. The zoom is an unexpected benefit that I use regularly. And I would leave a 5 star review just on the headset that is included... did I mention the headset comes with it!!! I highly recommend this product. I'll be saving up to buy another one to run this "dual-tube" style in the future (which you can absolutely do with a bridge from Nightfox). Hopefully I'll be able to update the review with that info one day! I'm not a "cool-guy," but I've been "cool-guy" adjacent for most of my adult life. I've used helmet mounted PVS14 white phosphor dual tubes, and I've had low-light/no-light training. It's not fair to compare the Prowl to a PVS14 when it comes in at 1/20th the price. I was easily able to tell the difference between a possible coyote and a lost beagle outside the house at 75 yards. I run it on my non-dominant eye. Because of the latency and need to use the IR illuminators, this isn't something that I'd "trust my life to" in a tactical situation. But it's super fun to use in the backyard and for things like airsoft, especially at the price point. Nightfox is offering an awesome product at a great price with what you need out of the box to have fun. Buy this because it's fun; don't buy it because an Alex Garland movie scared you.

Non vi aspettate una visione tipo gli analogici militari, ma va veramente bene, davvero. Inoltre e'arrivato con l'ultimo aggiornamento software gia' installato(1.31). Utilizzato per un tre settimane in un range dalla luna piena calante al buio pieno, in aperta campagna a piedi e per prova pure in fuoristrada (nella mia proprieta') senza fari. Con un minimo di luna si vede pure a colori, altrimenti bisogna affidarsi all'IR che funziona alla grande! Utilizzato per softair, se si resta in IR 0 mode, si resta in modo passivo e si rilevano subito gli illuminatori usati dagli altri visori. Ottimo sorto tutti i MIEI punti di vista. Prima di prenderlo avevo letto un po' di recensioni qui, qualche video su youtube Poi ho deciso e non sono affatto pentito. Tenuto conto di cos'e' e come funziona, ripeto NON e' paragonabile ad un analogico di 3 gen, costa200 € contro almeno 3000, ma ti consente di vedere al buio in maniera piu' che accettabile.
