This IS the ticket. I wanted a device that I could take camping/outdoors to see what was going on in the dark. I played with some Gen2+ NVIS devices, and while those are great for seeing DETAIL at night, nothing compares to seeing squirrels playing in the leaves in pitch black, over 200' away. You must have one of these.
Pros: Size, weight, build feel. Easy to use, no complex menus.
Cons: No replaceable battery.
