Reviews & Ratings for Pulsar Challenger GS 1x20 Night Vision Monocular w/ Head Mount Kit — 5 reviews — Page 1

If your like me looking for a decent nvg that will get the job done these are a great option. Out of the box I took the optic on a bike ride around my local park at night where there was no lights on the path and found the task to be difficult, but definitely doable and with a little more practice fairly easy. As a novice user with a few hours of use I have noticed the short falls of the gen 1 device compared to some of the other reviews I've read on the more expensive options out there.

Meaning, while the device does allow you to clearly see in pitch black conditions, it requires you to constantly adjust the focus, for the distance your looking. For example if your walking down a path, you can confidently and safely walk down it, while looking between 1-10 feet in front of you.
