Hi!

I'm also contemplating to buy this device. As a newbie to this forum and to NVD, however, I do have the following questions

Questions

1) How long is the battery life w/o turning on the IR illuminator?
2) How long is the battery life if the IR illuminator is turn on?
3) Does it comes with lens caps and a neck strap? I suppose the tripod is an accessory?
4) Does the image suffers badly from geometric distortion? Any place whereby a captured IR image by this device can be seen? If no, do you think you can attach a picture here?
5) What's the lifespan (average) of the tube?
6) New StealthView™ digital model - any captured IR image to see?

Your answers assure me of a better buy

Thanks

Hi

Can't help on battery life, as that is a spec not supplied by Bushnell, but all Gen 1 products suffer from geometric distortion (fisheye).

Someone on another forum said it looks like the D-211, here:-

If they're similar then battery life is pretty impressive Very Happy
