Hi,

I'm recently looking for a cheap and good-quality night vision device, and thought the Bushnell Guardian is quite affordable. Since I completely don't know anything about night vision devices, so can someone give me any advice on this product or recommend me another one? Thanks

Hi

All gen 1 intensifier tubes are made in the same factory in the Ukraine, so all Gen 1 products will have roughly similar performance. Only features other than the tube that affect performance are objective size (large objectives supply more light), magnification (more is not better- this is a low resolution product) and the IR illuminator (need by all gen 1 products under tough conditions). If you are using an NV in a marine environment, be sure to use a waterproof model.

The Bushnell is certainly a good choice in a Gen 1 monocular.
