Reviews & Ratings for Bushnell Night Vision 2.5x42 Monocular with Built-in Dual IR 260200 — 10 reviews — Page 1

I EXPECTED BETTER ,WILL SPEND MORE $$ ON A NIGHT VISION BINOCULAR IN THE FUTURE
Pros: small&compac,aa batteries
Cons: lenscover is easy to lose,small fov.

This is a good unit for the price you pay, optics are pretty good although there is some fisheye effects. The two different IR beams are nice and you can cut both of them off for those moonlit nights, you can make out cows in a pasture at probably 300+ yards on a 3/4 moon night, you can see a lot more, especially at distance than you can with the naked eye. The bads if you want to call them that would be, the battery door is a little quirky, with the flood lamp on your hand gets in the way of the beam when trying to focus. Minimum focus in reality is about 10-12 feet. That's about all the bad points there are. Just be sure to get the diopter adjusted to your eye before you judge the unit. Optics Planet delivered on time like they said, they sent a tracking number and shipping was free, sure I'd love to have a Gen 3, but you aren't going to get that for this price, overall quite happy with this purchase.
Pros: AA batteries, Fair price, Nice appearance
Cons: Gen 1, Made in China

The relatively strong light in one eye makes it inconvenient when it is removed, that is: swiching back and forth between using the night vision monocular and using naked eyes, is inconvenient. I would probably go for a binocular next time. It works well when staying in-doors and looking out into the garden, but for more or less continuous use (e.g. in my boat late in the evening), I would rather recommend a binocular.
Pros: Good quality, fine IR light sources, good value for money
Cons: For some use, a binocular would probably be more convenient

This is excellent for short range viewing even in complete darkness. Details become increasingly difficult to see beyond 50 yards. This is a necessary tool for observing wildlife past sundown.
Pros: works great out of the box
Cons: difficult to see beyond 50 yards

WELL WORTH THE MONEY, HAS EXCEPTIONAL QUAILITY AND IMAGE RESOLUTION. YOU HEAR ALOT OF BAD THINGS ABOUT GEN 1 BUT THERE ARE QUITE RELIABLE, YOU SHOULDN'T NEED ANYTHING MORE UNLESS YOUR TRYING TO BE RAMBO.
Pros: LIGHT WEIGHT, STURDY AND RUGGED
Cons: BIGGER THAN EXPECTED

Used other night vision products before and i've read ups and downs on this product here but i see no problems with it. does exactly as it says. i am totally satisfied with this product as well as the timely manner i recieved this from optics planet and i'm stationed overseas.
Pros: lightweight yet sturdy
Cons: bigger than expected in size but worth it

Even though a gen.1 night vision they are great,for $200 bucks you can't go wrong
Pros: the AA bats last along time, also cheap to replace
Cons: Alittle bit of a problem if you ware glasses

Clear Image, Compact Design, Good Contrast, Weather-proof. Best use for Hunting, Orientation, Surveillance, Twilight
