 Awsome for 80 bucks!!!!! August 13, 2008

I got this today and with much excitement I stripped away the packaging.
First I found some batteries, 5 AA Lithiums was my choice. Light and better runtime, next I opened the battery pack in the back with a screwdriver and plopped them in. After skimming the manual I ran to the attic. The display looks like an inch and a half when turned on. I prefer the green setting over the grey, the array of IR LED's work great for looking far away. The attic I was crawling around in was about 50ft long and I could clearly make out the far wall, I could even read the text on the boxes. In complete darkness I would walk slow because of the narrow view but WOW I can see great!!! It takes a minute to get use to but I love it.
I work for a LED Micro light company in Oregon so we have IR clip mounted lights laying around. I mounted 4 to the goggles and low and behold I could see clearer all the way to the end of the wall.
I'm off to hunt rats tonight Look out! Now the odds are in my favor!
Fun but wildly impractical September 15, 2008

I think my title is a pretty good description: fun but wildly impractical! But I saw night vision goggles for this price and thought that this is a toy I can't do without.
It's actually really, exceedingly cool provided you do not attempt to use them to navigate. For example, go get a toilet paper roll. Close your left eye. Hold the roll up to your right eye and start walking around. This is identical to the experience you will have with these goggles: VERY narrow field of vision in one eye.
That said, they do what they say and the construction seems pretty rugged and kid-friendly. You'll need a phillips head screwdriver to get the batteries in and out. The whole thing is basically made of rubber it looks like it could survive a bit of rough handling. If you look at the picture of the item, the big thing in the middle is the camera, surrounded by some high powered infra-red LEDs. Those can be switched on or off. When on, they visually glow a dull red but act as a floodlight for the camera. In front of the right eye you have another bank of lower powered LEDs which do not glow when on and act as a lower-powered light source for the camera. This lets you switch between "stealth" (no glow, lower visibility) mode and "observation" (slight glow, higher visibility) mode. The left eye is covered with a simple plastic cover which is on a hinge and can be opened for a source of "normal" vision.
The view itself, as mentioned, is very narrow, but quite good. You can certainly turn off all the lights and make out the interior of your house in great detail, although I have to say the narrow scope and false color sets you up for a real "Blair Witch" feeling. I was actually thinking you could get a great haunted house by making people wear these in a pitch black environment.
I think you'd have a hard time using it for anything practical (including, say, hide-and-go-seek) simply because it feels dangerous trying to move around while wearing them. You're asking to trip on or bump into something.
Still, I'm keeping em. Too cool not to have for this price.
Great fun, but a few things you should know August 14, 2008

They actually work but they take 5 AA Batteries that have to be brand new or it wont work. Also good to know camera is up high and it is mono vision. One of the eyes just flips up and is normal vision. also there are no metal parts, screw on front is black and isn't actually a screw. Otherwise it's an alright toy.
 P.O.S. - Don't buy this August 16, 2008

For $80, this thing is a real disappointment. My son saved up his allowances for several months to buy this, and it was a terrible disappointment. First of all, it didn't even turn on. Second, when I went to adjust the strap for fitting to his head, the post holding the strap in place snapped. Without the strap to hold this on your child's head, it is pretty much useless. For $80, this needs to be better constructed. Bad, bad, bad!
 REAL nightvision for $80! September 15, 2008
R. Makowski Jr. (Los Angeles, CA)
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
As the product details and other reviews state, this toy actually has REAL nightvision technology! And considering most low-end NV solutions start at around $500, the $80 pricetag is fantastic. However, the product isn't perfect. Most notably, despite its outward design, the goggles are NOT binocular. The single camera feeds to a monocular lens on the right eye. This causes serious disorientation and loss of depth perception.
PROS-
* $80 for REAL nightvision
* easily adjustable
* fairly lightweight
* 2 brightness modes (see near and far)
* B&W or green modes on monitor
CONS-
* MONOCULAR - only one screen inside, over the right eye.
* loss of depth perception
* centered camera displays to user's right eye, causing disorientation
* camera field of view is narrow (no peripheral vision)
* lens fogs up
While the product isn't perfect, it is a lot of fun, and very affordable when compared to other real NV solutions.
