longhorn3144 from United States, TX Public Profile

I'm impressed by this unit. The clarity is good, and it's easy to focus even with glasses. I've gone through a number of gen I units, and this is by far the best. I'll still upgrade when I can, but I don't feel like I've wasted any money. I do wish that they offered this in a dual unit, but I may still have gone with the mono anyway. The gen I dual units are a PITA to focus and adjust on the fly. I would have liked to compare this mono with a dual just to see if it can overcome the PITA factor.

The head gear is padded, and supports the weight of the unit so that you don't need to run out and purchase a helmet right away. The bracket that the mono fits into could stand to be a bit more secure. You will need to be sure to secure it to either your LBE or head gear before running through any exercise or hunting. It never came loose, but you can feel it move with any quick body movement.

The onboard IR is good, but you will need to upgrade or add to it if you need to see past 25 yards.
