I bought this as a better camera than my phone for night observations while camping. It's small, lightweight, has good night vision range & good picture/video resolution. It does well w/o IR in low light & in total darkness w/full IR/zoom it can see a rabbit at ~1/4mi. It also seems to auto-focus once dialed in if the distance to the new target is within 1/2 to double the distance to the prior target, but this may just be higher depth of field at the ranges I use.

The drawbacks are the screen & the zoom. The screen is small & narrow so the playback images are distorted narrow & difficult to really see the good resolution. Once the files are downloaded to a PC or something w/a high resolution monitor this shouldn't be a problem. But in the field w/just this monocular it can be difficult to tell if a picture/video came out ok or needs to be reshot.

Problem #2 w/the screen is that it's bright & designed for viewing by a couple folks at ~1-2' distance from their eyes. This makes the screen easier to see, albeit small, but puts a lot of light on the viewers' faces. This monocular is not appropriate for situations where the observer must be totally concealed.

The zoom has 8 graduations but really only changes by ~2x-4x over its range. The optical zoom is fixed at about ~2x-4x so field of view is a bit narrow for close viewing when fully zoomed out (min mag is ~2x-4x, max mag is ~4x-10x). For example, looking for something I dropped at night in leaves, it was easier to search using the excess light from the display & my bare eyes than using the night vision ability of the monocular. But most critters I observe are between 20' & 1/4 mile away, for that it's perfect.

Final note is that this is a high res IR camera. It shines an Invisible IR flashlight at its target & the camera detects the reflected IR light. It is not a thermal imaging camera, these detect body heat at a greater range. And it is not a phosphor gas light amplifier which have even greater range than thermal imaging & can see things other than things giving off heat. But in a non-tactical situation, where a weather event, predator, or other surprise can force me to abandon my gear, an $80 IR camera is a perfect fit.

Update (2 out of 5 stars): 5/31/2023
I wanted to provide an update to my previous glowing review of the Night Vision Monocular 4K. While initially impressed with its features and performance, I have encountered some issues that have affected my overall satisfaction with the device.

One major drawback I've discovered is the weight of the monocular. It is quite heavy and can become cumbersome to carry around for extended periods of time. This can be particularly inconvenient during activities like hunting or camping where mobility and comfort are important factors.

Furthermore, the device requires a fair amount of setup and calibration before use. While the instructions are clear and easy to follow, it does take some time to get everything up and running. This added step can be frustrating, especially when you're eager to start using the monocular right away.

Additionally, I've noticed that the durability of the device is not as impressive as I initially thought. Despite claims of being sturdy and resilient, the monocular did not hold up well when accidentally dropped a few times. It sustained minor damage that affected its performance, and I was disappointed by its inability to withstand normal wear and tear.

Lastly, while the image quality is generally sharp and clear, I have encountered some issues with the night vision mode. In certain conditions, the image can appear grainy and lacks the level of detail I expected. This has hindered my ability to fully enjoy the night vision capabilities, which was one of the main reasons I purchased this device.

Considering these drawbacks, I am revising my rating to 2 out of 5 stars. While the Night Vision Monocular 4K still offers some decent features and functionality, the weight, setup process, durability concerns, and issues with night vision quality have significantly impacted my overall satisfaction. I would recommend potential buyers to carefully consider these factors before making a purchase decision.

Original review

I recently purchased the Night Vision Monocular 4K and I must say, I am absolutely blown away by this device. Not only is it incredibly practical for activities such as hunting, camping, and military operations, but it is also a whole lot of fun to use.

Firstly, the 984ft 8X zoom feature is out of this world. I was able to see objects that were miles away with crystal clear clarity. I was even able to spot a family of deer grazing in a field that was over a mile away, which was an experience like no other.

The 4K video and 40M photos are also amazing. I captured some stunning footage of the night sky that looked like it was straight out of a science fiction movie. And the best part is, I was able to save all of my photos and videos with audio to the 32G card that comes with the device.

Now, let's talk about the night vision capabilities. This monocular allows you to see in complete darkness, which is both spooky and thrilling at the same time. I used it while camping and it was like having x-ray vision. I could see every little insect crawling on the ground, and even spotted a raccoon trying to sneak into our campsite.

But the real kicker, and the reason why I'm writing this review, is because of an experience I had while using the Night Vision Monocular 4K on a hunting trip with some friends. We were out in the woods at night, trying to track down some elusive prey, when we heard a rustling in the bushes. We all froze, thinking it was our target, but to our surprise, it was a skunk. And not just any skunk, but a skunk that had somehow managed to get its head stuck in a jar.

We couldn't believe our luck, and we all started to laugh uncontrollably. It was a ridiculous sight, and we were so grateful to have the Night Vision Monocular 4K to capture it all. We took some hilarious photos and videos, and it's a memory that we'll never forget.

The rechargeable 2000mAh battery is also a huge plus, as it lasts for several hours of continuous use. This is particularly helpful for extended periods of use, such as a full night of hunting or camping. And when the battery does eventually run out, it's easy to recharge using the included USB cable.

One thing to note is that the Night Vision Monocular 4K is a bit on the heavy side. While this isn't necessarily a deal-breaker, it can be a bit cumbersome to carry around for extended periods of time. However, the weight is definitely worth it for the quality of the device and the stunning images it captures.

Another thing to keep in mind is that the device does require some basic setup and calibration before use. But don't let this deter you - the instructions are clear and easy to follow, and it only takes a few minutes to get everything up and running.

I also want to mention how impressed I was with the durability and sturdiness of this monocular. I accidentally dropped it a few times while out in the field, and it remained completely unscathed. The outer shell is made of high-quality materials that can withstand wear and tear, making it a reliable and long-lasting investment.

Moreover, the device is incredibly easy to operate, and the controls are intuitive and user-friendly. It didn't take long to get used to the different settings and options, and I was able to adjust the zoom and focus effortlessly. The 8X zoom feature is particularly impressive, allowing me to easily switch from long-distance to close-up views.

As for the image quality, I cannot stress enough how sharp and clear the visuals are. The 4K video and 40M photos are truly stunning, and the infrared night vision mode provides a sharp and detailed image even in complete darkness. Additionally, the audio recording feature adds an extra layer of immersion, allowing me to relive my adventures with crystal-clear sound.

In terms of battery life, I was pleasantly surprised by how long the 2000mAh rechargeable battery lasted. It provided several hours of uninterrupted use, allowing me to fully immerse myself in the experience without worrying about the battery dying midway through. And when it was time to recharge, it only took a few hours to get back to full power.

Overall, I highly recommend the Night Vision Monocular 4K to anyone who wants to experience the thrill of seeing in the dark. It's an incredibly well-made device that is both practical and fun, and I give it a solid 5 out of 5 stars.

Sfizioso soprattutto se lo trovate in offerta

Reviewed in Italy on November 7, 2022

Eccomi a recensire questo visore notturno acquistato in offertissima (80 euro) durante il Prime Day. Ho provato in passato apparecchi simili a prezzi ben più alti ma non mi hanno mai soddisfatto, motivo per cui li ho resi. Vediamo come è andata con questo.
Arrivato in una scatola di cartone molto curata contenente oltre alle istruzioni un cavetto di ricarica usb c, una custodia morbida, laccetto per il polso+ tracolla + pannetto e scheda microsd 32 gb. E' davvero molto piccolo e portatile,considerando che integra un faretto ad infrarossi. Si impugna agevolmente ( se non si hanno le mani enormi) come una telecamera: ha la filettatura standard per cavalletto e obiettivo 25mm con filettatura a vite per aggiungere eventuali altri filtri.Il fuoco è regolabile ruotando la ghiera sull' obiettivo (consiglio di mettere a fuoco prima di iniziare a girare il filmato, per evitare fastidiosi rumori nel video). La qualità costruttiva è buona: da' l'idea di essere solido essendo un piccolo blocco unico senza parti scricchiolanti. Le connessioni sono protette da un tappino gommato sulla base; autonomia buona grazie a una batteria 18650 ricaricabile e sostituibile, collocata intelligentemente in posizione parallela al faretto, così da ottimizzare lo spazio. Il menù di configurazione è molto semplice e si esplora con poche difficoltà una volta capiti i tasti da premere per confermare le opzioni da selezionare. L'apparecchio gira video in full hd e foto a 12 mp. Qualità tipica un po' sgranata di questi strumenti, non paragonabile agli smartphones...d'altra parte la loro funzione è diversa. Consiglio di tenere le impostazioni di qualità al massimo per avere buoni risultati: in generale i video vengono meglio delle foto.
Lo zoom ottico fisso è circa 8x ulteriormente incrementabile in digitale con i tasti appositi. Diciamo che si riesce a mettere a fuoco al di sopra dei 3 metri, meno diventa quasi impossibile. Di giorno si comporta come una normale telecamera producendo immagine discretamente definite; di notte riprende a colori anche la poca illuminazione dei lampioni- In condizioni di buio assoluto si può attivare l'illuminatore infrarossi in 7 step, che illumina tranquillamente fino a 150 metri. L'oculare è un po' minimal, ma si riesce comunque a inquadrare la scena.Caratteristica unica di questo prodotto e mai trovata nei concorrenti è che i filmati hanno anche l'audio, essendo l'apparato provvisto di microfono (non particolarmente performante....ma c'è).
Giudizio: prodotto buono, meritevole di 4 stelle (qualità delle foto ancora migliorabile). Promosso a pieni voti perchè trovato in offerta (ecco perchè la quinta stella). Certo non è un visore professionale, ma ha delle caratteristiche davvero sfiziose ad un prezzo finalmente bilanciato!

Allunga le immagini in verticale

Reviewed in Italy on August 29, 2023

buone caratteristiche e dotazioni, c'è anche un microfono per appunti audio; nella riproduzione mediante monitor non c'è l'altoparlante, ma viene registrato nei video, effettivamente il visore funziona meglio della maggior parte dei telefonini di pari classe in condizioni di bassa luminosità, in pratica la differenza con un intensificatore di immagine non vale la differenza di prezzo (anche questi non funzionano nel buio più assoluto senza LED IR acceso), di default il mirino è troppo luminoso, i colori sono troppo chiari, MA è facilmente regolabile a menù, e la regolazione viene registrata nei files, non c'è tappo obiettivo (fra l'altro con poco paraluce), MA l'ho costruito io da un tappo di aranciata lavorato con il mini drill, non c'è tappo nel mirino (almeno c'è un discreto paraluce protettivo), l'ingrandimento indicato come 10x è fisso e, tenendo il mirino a circa 20 cm, in realtà la visione è 1:1 (tenendo un occhio sul bersaglio e l'altro nel mirino appaiono di identiche dimensioni), modificando questa distanza si modifica di pochissimo la visione, diciamo che è il campo visivo molto stretto, rendendo difficili le visioni a meno di 10-15 m, una immagine full resolution occupa 5-6 Mb, ma la qualità è molto scarsa se paragonata a una normale fotocamera digitale con risoluzione anche molto inferiore (es. Olympus Mju 410 con 4 Mpixel), ma:
DIFETTO GRAVE:
- le immagini (foto-video) nel mirino sono molto fastidiosamente deformate (elongate nel senso verticale) nelle varie risoluzioni, anche se alcune rare volte misteriosamente non lo sono. Nelle registrazioni quasi sempre rimane la deformazione, a volte no anche se nel mirino lo erano, non capisco con quale criterio;
ringrazio per ev. osssrvazioni in merito, disposto ad aumentare le stelle se risolvo questo problema.

Qualité d'image moins bonne que prévue

Reviewed in France on February 24, 2023

The media could not be loaded.

J'ai reçu rapidement et en parfait état le monoculaire 4K à vision nocturne infrarouge avec zoom x8.
Cependant, la qualité de l'image, même en 4K (4K qu'il faut activer dans les paramètre du monoscope) est bien inférieure à ce qu'on peut lire en commentaire ou dans la description de l'article. Je me suis faite avoir par les 5 étoiles et les présentations des utilisateurs dans leurs commentaires.

Je joins une vidéo à ce commentaire, une prise de jour (je précise que le ciel était couvert lors de la prise donc la qualité de l'image sera sûrement de meilleure qualité lors d'une prise ensoleillée). Pourtant, malgré le temps nuageux, je trouve que la qualité d'image est médiocre.

En ce qui me concerne, j'utilise depuis longtemps un monoculaire zoom de x10 à x30 et j'ai été déçue du zoom du monoscope 4K que j'ai reçu. La qualité d'image étant déjà basse, (même en "4K", je ne me vois pas faire un zoom numérique).

Je n'ai pas testé la vision nocturne donc je fais uniquement un retour de mon expérience sur la vision de jour de cet appareil.
