This unit does not meet the specs shown. It is far inferior to the Yukon unit purchased at the same time. The maximun viewing distance with the IR on is barely 20 yards. I will accept that this is a faulty unit and requires attention. Have used ex Russion bino's for years and this does not compete

The device works as advertised. But I thought the focus lacks sharpness. It is a bit larger than I anticipated

This unit is a good entry level NVD. But if you are expecting video game style night vision, forget it. Without the IR illuminator switched on, it only gives you slightly better vision that the naked eye. The built in IR illuminator is limited in range to less than 100 feet and it has a narrow field of view. The adjustable beam is also a bit average. I'm thinking of buying a "Da Torch" IR illuminator or the IR-100 from night vision UK to make it more useful at longer ranges.

While this ATN scope is well made and easy to use, it has an image I would wish was a little sharper. Even when I purchased the 3X multiplier, the image wasn't what I call sharp...but for the money, compared to what you would have to pay for gen 2 and 3..it is a good image...and way better than our own human night vision.
