Night vision goggles
« on: July 14, 2007, 10:43:40 PM »
I am looking to get my first personal night vision goggles and have been looking at the  ATN viper because I can only afford goggles in the price range, I am looking for night vision goggles with the head gear all complete, the viper comes with the head gear for hands free, which is what i want, ts get 1, again can't afford much more for right now. Does anyone ever used these? How well did they work? as in helping to see in the night, any problems with them? overall how what do you like of them, is this a good night vision system? good name and effectiveness?  do they stand up to some abuse meaning won't break moving around a lot etc? Durable? i need one that fits on my head with the mounting for hangs moving and want only one eye to be used by it, like in the picture, dies anyone else know of any other night vision i am looking for priced 200- that is better then the ATN viper? One that already comes with everything you need to start using it, meaning the the head gear etc? Any ideas with personal experience, greatly personal, and have a wicked good day, Ryan Stephens. I would also considered in buying one for aronud spending area i want to be in/near wise also  i want the same features that i explained, thanks again

I have never use the ones your speaking of, but have played with some of the gen. 1 stuff. It is a big improvement over nothing, but can tell you that you get what you pay for. My gen 1 rifle scope is good for around 150 yrds. with the IR on. I don`t think that there is a great deal of difference in light gathering with the same generation of scopes, but have no experience with quality and durability.
