For a generation 1, this unit performs great! Of course it is not upper class goggles but I really got more than I expected! I ordered them booth with the additional IR but even without it Ninox works good. Usually I use head mount as it keeps my hands free so it is very convenient way for me. I appreciate that in spite of the Gen 1the quality of Armasight Ninox doesn't differ too much from the Gen 2, for example, I mean the housing and the strengths. Well, I know it for sure as I have some experience with the optics. So my choice is Armasight Ninox!
