Michael J Perrine's Review of NightStar 1x20mm Head Mounted Night Vision Binoculars
I've used night vision from 1985 in the Marines and my own sets working government contract to working a heavily wooded and animal-laden acres of security area for a hippy computer company who worried more about the animals...on night shift. I've faced off with poachers and dodged momma black bear with the best night vision I could afford and often a model 629 .44 magnum hidden under my black ECWS parka. I've driven UTVs in the dark with headsets on passive, and have modified flashlights to try and get more reach in active for years. Well, I guess you could say since 1985 to present, even walked security at night around my house and neighborhood with post-hurricane power outage with a folding AKM and a shoulder rig with a custom knife and sheath and the holstered Colt Detective I'd rigged for my military injuries, wearing a soft harness NV gogglde head set. The headset with this Nightstar seems to work well-I have a head/neck/leg injury and haven't tried rigging to a ''Soft Air '' helmet set yet, just an old boonie. The optics are mighty fine and clear and will flip up and out of the way if I should grab my RPK-47 or my ten shot 870 pump out at my wooded 20 acres. I don't think I'd have a better head set of NVGs without breaking a grand. Buy them, they are great. Optics Planet-how about some OPMOD action with these and some magnification hand held/tripod scope with some magnification like 8 or so?
Pros:
- clarity, lightness
Cons:
- like all, should come with real padded cases
Best Used for:
- patrolling a fenceline or hunting poachers at night
Would Recommend:
Yes
