Well constructed and priced right. The scope is intended for looking at things at a distance like hunting or surveillance activities, do not try to use it indoors or looking at things up close; you won't see much because of the magnification. Takes a little to get use to looking thru it but still an excellent product.

Although it didn't indicate it on the site prior to purchasing, instructions said "there might be dark spots" in the lens, and there was one. These are defects, and they detract from the percieved quality of the product. Also, it is BIG. Lastly, protective lens cap doesn't have attachement cord or hinge, and is critically important.

This is the best entry level gen 1 I have seen..just don't think you can turn it on and see stuff clearly. It takes a little tweaking of the eyepiece to get it set up. Then just focus and adjust as needed for different ranges. Seems well made, and compliments my gen 2 rifle scope, and lets me lay the rifle down and scan by hand for those pesky hogs. Great value in my opinion.

Pros:  Function (works well for 1st gen) and clarity. Good warantee and cost.
Cons:  No good for mounting on a gun.
Would recommend:  yes

Not counting using a Starlight scope in Viet Nam, I have used several night vision scopes over the years and this one is the 3rd that I have actually owned. My first was OK, my 2nd lasted only a short time. This Yukon works quite well, no spots (though spots are normal), and very clear. Some wrote in and said it was hard to set up. It was! It took a good 45 to 60 seconds to get it right. After about a minute you're eye-ballin' the dark. Focus the FRONT lens first.

If you want to see in the dark and not break the bank this scope is for you. I can see the individual leaves on the trees. Not what you see on tv or the movies but unless you very high quality pictures this does work.

I had read many a review on the internet of how Gen 1 optics were "useless" and that you would be better off with a nice flashlight... despite this I took the plunge and bought this optic for a recent hog hunt in central Texas. Boy was I pleasantly surprised! This tool was FAR from useless. It was a clear weekend with a 3/4 moon. I could see several hundred yards at night. Clearly. We even did an experiment and I could see how many fingers a person was holding up at about 80 yards across the pasture. In the deep woods, the illuminator was necessary, but worked fantastically. Watch out hogs, with this great tool they are no longer safe in the dark.

This is my first night vision device, and I am pleasantly surprised with the quality of the images I'm seeing. My son is in the military, and warned me away from binoculars because of the difficulties involved with focusing lenses for both eyes. He recommended a good monocular, and I'm very happy with my purchase. I feel this unit is a very good value.

Pros:  Good price; wide angle field of view; weather resistant, infrared illuminator really lights things up if they're within 40 or 50 feet.
Cons:  Difficult to get focused view on startup, but with patience I got it dialed in after about a half hour of messing with it.
Would recommend:  yes

Takes a little getting used to if one isn't used to the green effect on images. When I first tried it out I was disappointed with what I saw but then I finally got it focused properly and found I could easily make out the Saguarro cactus across the road from my front yard; thast's adiatance of about 500 feet. I'm now quite pleased with it's performance and I'm glad I made the purchase.
