Review: Night Owl Night Vision Binoculars - Considering they are generation 1 binoculars (I believe that is what the box indicates), they are good. I used them out in the desert recently and I could see fairly well. If I had never looked through a pair of $4000 binoculars before, I would think that this model is fantastic. Everything is relative. Since California limits what you can buy and bring in, these are pretty good. Review: Outstanding...heed two warnings cited here, however. - Well packed. Arrived way ahead of schedule. Operation is easy...follow the step by step operator pamphlet. Be sure you do not remove the lens covers in lighted environment. Battery NOT included...you will need one C 123 battery. These two facts should have been printed up front on the box and instructions. Otherwise, good choice! ## Features - Crafted from the highest quality material - Suitable for every outdoor adventure - Made in China ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0002I81TM | | Age Range (Description) | Adult | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Brand | Night Owl | | Built-In Media | 5-Power Night Vision Binocs | | Coating | Coated | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 3.7 out of 5 stars 9 Reviews | | Diopter Adjustment Range | +/-5 diopters | | Enclosure Material | Synthetic | | Exit-Pupil Diameter | 10 Millimeters | | Features | Night Vision | | Field of View | 16.17 Degrees | | Focus Type | Center Focus | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00635328121467 | | Item Height | 5.5 inches | | Item Type Name | binoculars, weather station, hydration | | Item Weight | 1.54 Kilograms | | Magnification Maximum | 5 x | | Manufacturer | Night Owl | | Model Name | NOXB-5 | | Mount Type | Tripod Mount | | Objective Lens Diameter | 50 Millimeters | | Prism Type | Roof Prism | | Size Map | Compact | | Special Feature | Night Vision | | UPC | 037451165545 635328121467 | | Warranty Description | Manufacturer Warranty | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | | Zoom Ratio | 5 multiplier x | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** Adult - **Brand:** Night Owl - **Magnification Maximum:** 5 x - **Objective Lens Diameter:** 50 Millimeters - **Special Feature:** Night Vision ## Images ![Night Owl Explorer Pro 5X Night Vision Binoculars w/Infared Illuminators - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61XQOYiuRLL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: What kind of battery does it require?
