Works at least as good as Vietnam era starlight. Takes a little practice to focus good which is necessary. Can pick up and id a cat @100m with overcast sky &1/2 moon, no IR. With IR even clearer as eyes shine like green lights of devil cat.

I have no experience at all with night vision. I am not disappointed with the performance I can see in the dark cool.

this unit works better than I thought it would in total darkness and gets out further than I expected. The IR is great for lighting up the area and getting a good look at subjet matter. I got it for feral hogs and it will do the job. I have a night vision on my rifle but a pain to scan w/ it all the time. I now just keep it at rest until I have visual.

This was my second NV purchase and while the unit was ok when the IR was on, without it a good flashlight worked as well. The battery is $14 and the IR eats it up pretty quickly. Focusing the 2 lens was sometimes difficult and if the object was moving it might be gone before you could focus. OpticsPlanet refunded my money upon return and I am going to purchase a different one.

This is a pretty inexpensive item considering. It actually works pretty well, especially when reflecting off of the eyes of critters that would otherwise not be visible. If you don't expect military grade you shouldn't be dissapointed.

While this monocular is not military quality, it's not junk either. Out to one hundred yards in pitch darkness, you can clearly see a man and how man fingers he was holding up with the IR turned on. Focusing was relatively easy, taking all of 10 seconds. Key here is to focus the front lens first. If you have any light at all surrounding your objective, no IR is needed. Infrared works well illuminating your target, but the IR is strong enough that you could be noticed. The pulse feature is nice for covert operation here. The very important lens cover could be lost when removed. It's intended to be slid into a grove on the very bottom. I have found it works best to simply place it in my pocket to keep from loosing it in the darkness. I purchased this based upon the previous reviews and was not at all disappointed. I not only recommend it to anyone wanting to see into the darkness, but have just tonight ordered another one. I had two purposes for my initial order. Number one was to help annihilate ...

Overall great purchase, can see clearly at 100 yrds. Only negative is when you use the IR light, if you are in tree stand light shines on leaves and is almost blinding for a second.

Took it out of the box and was able to use it with ease right away. Works much better than expected for a Gen ! product and for the price. Highly recommend this scope.

after spending a few weeks investigating gen 1 monoculars i ordered the 4x50 multi task based on the many reviews id read. because it is gen 1 NV it is not military grade nor does it have the $2000+ price tag associated with them. on recieving this monocular i was really surprised at how clear images were, i could pick out individual blades of grass out to 60 metres and could easily identify wildlife at greater distances in open paddocks. my only negative, which has been commented on by other users is the zoom/focus function. youre much better of leaving the zoom on minimum magnification. at greater magnification it narrows your field of view too much and its too difficult to refocus. it claims to be head and rifle mountable but havent tried it in these configurations.
