I bought the device to use it in the forest for wildlife watching. In the moonlight, when it is full, the power of the device is sufficient without the IR emitter, with half or less moon is it then a matter of where you are staying. When you sit at a clearing enough visibility estimated 50m once but a few trees to a clearing are the terrain must also darken a bit to get a decent picture of the IR emitters are switched on. Roe deer, foxes, hares and badgers have the red dot on the unit seemingly not noticed or not noticed. Sows I felt not even come out of the bush, when the IR is on. They could hear constantly, they circulated several hours the clearing, but did not come out. Can of course, other reasons for giving but as I said, that other game there did not appear to bother. The instrument itself is well in hand is solid and high quality workmanship. With a few sensible batteries, you can certainly get by for several hours, even when the front IR emitter. Very useful is definitely also the diopter, which is, however, to adjust my opinion slightly. Taking the NSG from the case, it may be that he is a bit adjusted, so that you again have to make a new adjustment on the first sighting. This does not take long, but annoying at times, just when it should go schneler. All in all, highly recommended, as it entails lower cost of ownership (2x AA batteries or, batteries for operation), a super starting price in the NSG technology has (the price-performance ratio is consistent) the device. Therefore, my conclusion for all interested or interested: If you want to from time to time watching something in the dark, but you high prices of the NSG have held to date technology, then to beat. Personally, I have now leaked through the purchase of this equipment, and blood will follow the market over the next one to two years and still grow me a larger device, because it is simply fascinating to hear the needle fall in the forest and animals together in a meadow Watch where you does not think in the dream that together side by side (in a clearing 5 deer, 3 rabbits, 2 foxes and badgers). Oh a little something more, the device is what is being controlled at the top of the large rotary knob, the brightness or sensitivity turned on. This One or off emits a small clicking sound, so rather under the jacket when one-off, I did not think it even possible but animals have remained at the 100m, perceive this soft click and are then fleeting. Maybe reads this review so times one of the manufacturers or Ings. that would improve. Greetings to all readers Björn B.
