Editorial Reviews : Go night fishing, boating, or nature viewing with Night Owl's Explorer viewing scope. It is a compact, easy-to-operate device that travels well for recreational use. It's also useful for surveillance, search and rescue, and property management. You'll expand your viewing boundaries with the powerful 3.1x magnification and high-level amplification. The Explorer is also weather- resistant so when you are caught in the rain you can still view without damaging your monocular.
Buyer Reviews : I found the Night Owl Explorer 3.1 to be ok, thats all. The price isn't bad for what you get and it's very hard to pick out a 'good' night vision unit in this price range. The one thing I don't like about it is it needs the IR light on it to work if it's completly dark out, which is ok, but the IR light is so bright that someone could spot you sitting in the dark because of it. It has a 1/2' diameter red light on top of the unit which at night is very bright if there is nothing else out there. This would not be a good unit for surveillance work. The unit only has a 15,000 light gain in it, some have up to 35,000 and would most likely be a better choice, if the claim is true. All in all it's ok for just screwing around with though. I also got the 5X lens adapt. for it, it works pretty good but does rob even more light. If you want a real good unit get one with a 2nd or even 3rd gen. tube, they are much better than any of these 1st gen. cheapies.....
