Five Star Reviews: | 59% good night vision,everything is what I want. September 21, 2017 I live in a rural area and enjoy watching wildlife activity. This is a really functional and useful night vision monocular, it's primarily for night use. At night, there's an 'infra red illuminator' button to press when viewing in total darkness. That suits me fine as there's no lighting around for miles, so nighttime is truly dark! I really can't fault this bit of kit. It's got more than I'd ever thought about, never mind wished for and it feels as if it'll last for years. I'm delighted with it and looking forward to taking some night images. Good quality for the price. July 15, 2017 Really like this thing. It exceeds my expectations. Lots of fun. If you think you are getting military grade you're not (it's close) you'll need to spend a lot more money but for the price this is great. Great buy March 4, 2017 I purchased these for my husband for Christmas. I did some research and after watching some videos I picked these. They are real nice I've used them a few times my self. A Dad's Dream January 9, 2017 I bought this for my father. Let's just say, I'm now his favorite child. The last 10 text messages from him have been images from Solomark's Night Vision Monocular. Apparently, my dad's crawling around his house at night capturing clear images of household furniture. My mom said she has to give him a time limit or he'll be awake until 2 a.m. taking pictures of "things we OWN and see every day." Needless to say, this is a great product for the price. My dad's not going on any major hunting trips, nor is he using it for any top-secret CIA business. But for taking rather clear pictures of indoor furniture at night, it's a dream come true. I'd imagine his outdoor photography will increase as the weather gets better. I'm just trying to prepare myself for late night texts in the summer where my dad swears he sees a raccoon, and thanks to Solomark's NVM, he'll quickly discover it's a flower pot. Fantastic! January 3, 2017 These are so Awesome! You can really see everything in a completely dark room. For the price the best you can get September 3, 2016 This is an outstanding piece of equipment I couldn't be happier for a bargain priced night scope it satisfies all my requirements thank you! | 53% Very good customer service when I returned it June 23, 2015 Item as described but unfortunately did not fit my NVG. Very good customer service when I returned it. Rapid refund. Thanks A must have for your NVG Kit. April 6, 2014 This is the device that holds your NVG monocular. This item is the real deal. It attaches to Most NVG mounts, and isthe swing arm that puts your NVG Monocular or binocular into battery, or stowed away. It is a rock solid hard PlasticUnit, that is very rugged. Real deal December 6, 2013 High quality J-arm brand new not airsoft knock off. Fit my rhino mount perfectly. no playFast shipping good packaging to prevent damage. great customer service. |
Four Star Reviews: | 21% Good value for the price! September 7, 2017 Performs well and does what it says. It is good to get to know all the buttons before you take it out at night so you can easily make adjustments. I am happy with my unit! Good unit for the money. The strap broke the first time I used it, otherwise so far so good. Fun only, not for fighting the enemy November 17, 2016 Ok I've never had real military night vision but I'm guessing it's not like this. Essentially it's a small tv and a small home security camera. Your looking at the image through one eye as it uses either normal or infrared and it uses a infrared led that illuminates the subject for the camera. It really does work. It takes photos and videos and can store on your own sd card. It feels fairly well built. Now first the cons... It lags from real time, not by much, say a cheap digital camera. But worst yet is its not 1x magnification.. So trying to walk is harder because it appears closer than you are somewhere between 1x and 2x I'd say. All in all its fairly inexpensive, decent build quality, allows you to see in complete dark.. A fun gadget to have NOT FAKE A REVIEW > Do I have to say that from now on? October 30, 2016 ORDERED = 10/25/2016 || SELLER = Solomark Optics || PAID = $150.99(Beware of Seller changes! That's when you may get burned!):: PROS ::1.) Does a good job for the money, feels fairly solid overall. - The budget was not flexible enough for Gen 3 load-outs.2.) It has been in use for a week, so far so good. It gets installed/removed daily into a vehicle steady-mount.3.) GEN 1 Unit - has lot of sensitivity if used right. (Foreground objects disrupt background sensitivity if illuminated.)4.) Illuminator works out to 100 meters no problem - My video shows that.5.) Works great with rechargeable AA's - Few hours of video easily. (Keeps the operation costs very low & battery storage simple.):: CONS ::1.) Camera mode is not very useful - it's OK, but you won't use it much.2.) The 1GB Micro SD it comes with is TERRIBLE - Only 12Mbps on my 100Mbps USB 3.0 Hub?3.) Had to buy SanDisk Ultra 32GB microSDHC UHS-I Card with Adapter, Grey/Red, Standard Packaging (SDSQUNC-032G-GN6MA) = Almost 10x faster then the 1GB provided...using on a true USB 3.0 HUB.4.) Sensor CAP is not secured to unit very well - EASY to loose the cap & that would be BAD!OVERALL :: Despite all the CONS - it is for sure worth the $150.00 we paid.MY 2 TACTICAL OPTIONS FOR 300+ METERS...(This unit will pickup the light, but the magnification will max out at that range either way.)ON A BUDGET >> Evolva Future Technology T20 IR 38mm Lens Infrared Light Night Vision Flashlight Torch (Torch+Battery+Charger+Pressure Switch+Scope Mount)NEED MAXIMUM ILLUMINATION >> Evolva Future Technology Lens Infrared Flashlight IR T67 67mm Night Vision Torch Light - Infrared Light is Invisible to Human Eyes (Torch+Battery+Charger+Pressure Switch) <<< This is what I use for FLOOD & SPOT options...works great with this unit!FOR OUR TESTING = Purchased ilauke IR Lamp 850nm Zoomable 5W Infrared Flashlight Night Vision Hunting Torch to gauge the units SENSITIVITY, not extending illumination range. The product does everything that it states. I do ... May 16, 2016 The product does everything that it states. I do wish it had a larger Zoom ratio. Would buy again. No regrets. Shipping was timely also So far so good December 26, 2015 Works great. Clarity could be better. Haven't tried the sims card yet. We got it to look at the deer at night. | 0% There are no reviews yet |
Three Star Reviews: | 4% C- March 13, 2017 These work as advertised but the range is a bit week. The video eye piece is quite grainy as is the video. Perhaps I should have spend a bit more $ to see if there was a better one out there. Three Stars January 11, 2017 Decent.......... could be more responsive but for the price point it's ....ok Don't Expect a lot January 20, 2016 This device did not impress me. Small viewfinder. Ability to see in total darkness limited. Have a night vision device Spent half the money on that works better. | 12% Three Stars July 6, 2016 Still trying to return it. I thought i ordering the foggles. Not a part for it. Accidentally ordered the incorrect item. March 17, 2013 I misunderstood what the item actually was and ordered it. I thought the item was some sort of night vision goggle. |
Two Star Reviews: | 6% Two Stars October 2, 2017 very poor quality hard to see as it claims.You get what you pay for. Good for party novelty. not good March 3, 2017 does not work as expected. marked off every 50 feet to see how the distance works at night. seems like you need a lot of moonlight for it to get past 50 feet. but it is only one with magnification that is available to ship to california. It seemed like it would be a neat product to use to ... March 10, 2016 It seemed like it would be a neat product to use to keep an eye on the park that is next to my house at night, when we get some loitering. The screen gave me headaches. it was too bright and somewhat blurry. not worth the cost for me. returned it. Not worth much in the city even with greenbelt. January 7, 2016 This NV monocular's visibility is minimal unless you have total darkness. My first attempt to use one of these, so maybe my expectations were too high for a low end product. Just ok December 9, 2015 I bought this item with my own money. This product suffers same fate as many others on amazon with the 5 star got this product for free review.the product is not terrible and does help you see in the dark. BIG TIP----only works to see things in video mode. The default mode is camera and the image / viewfinder image is very poor. Not acceptable quality. Not until you switch to video mode can you get better resolution.But I do not find this glitch acceptable. I return the product.I think this product would do better if it focused on one thing only instead of camera/ video/ night vision .That brings to another point if someone gets this product for free they should not be able to give it a star rating onAmazon. They can leave a review but no star rating . Maybe this would help decrease the fake reviews and maybe the company would work on making the product better. | 18% save your money, February 28, 2016 No thanks , the parts need to be modify in order to fit one another ,you need a metal file to shave the parts in order to fit Does not appear new at all. It was mailed ... October 1, 2015 Does not appear new at all. It was mailed wrapped in a walmart sack and placed in a box. No tags, no military number. |
One Star Reviews: | 10% It's less than a toy... March 8, 2017 You see more with your naked eye than with this device. I purchased to use it as a night view support for my boat ay night, and I could see more without it. I returned the device. It's less than a toy! Already stopped working November 10, 2016 Purchased this for my husbands birthday in July, and it's already stopped working four months later Not this one... April 2, 2016 Defective - worked for two hours, then screen went blank-white.Would not turn-off unless took-out batteries. Returned. This product is of very poor quality. When in infrared mode it was VERY ... December 16, 2015 This product is of very poor quality. When in infrared mode it was VERY grainy. You could not hardly see anything. My husband who is the Army stated is was if the poorest quality. It was really like a toy for a child at a whopping $142.00DONT DO IT!! It was like they sent me a reject August 6, 2015 It did not work at all, not to mention the price. It was like they sent me a reject. | 17% ... have misread what i was actually purchasing i would like to return March 12, 2015 I may have misread what i was actually purchasing i would like to return item Poor Quality Workmanship July 23, 2013 As an infantryman, I wanted to slowly build my collection of equipment to allow me to function in the field while having to sign for as few items of equipment from my company as possible.After less than two weeks of use, a critical plastic lever that locks the NVGs into place and allows for adjustment stopped working -- rendering the entire J-arm worthless to me. |
