Best Monoculars (1 Viewer)

Hey fellas, I'm in search of a night vision monocular. Can anyone of you suggest a few good ones please? I've read about the Night Owl iGEN 20/20 one in an article which featured it at number 1: Night Vision Monoculars
I'm wanting to get my gear kit in order before venturing out in the outdoors. Thx a million people

I have tried a lot of those Gen 1 night vision monoculars on Amazon.com that are less than $500.00. They are MIC JUNK. You need to get a Gen 2 or above to be effective. I would look on Ebay. You can get various magnifications from 1x on up. I like 3X for observing wildlife but if you just want to move around in total darkness without being seen 1x is good with a head mount. I have an ATN Gen 2+ with 3x magnification. Expect to spend $1500.00 to about $3000.00. Here is a pretty nice one. The picture to the right is two birders using it head mounted hunting for the world's most dangerous bird the Cassowary.:-O

Hmmm, good to get the bird connection there, but not with guns...

How have you really used those NV units? For example, can they spot owls in the dark?

Here are some videos comparing Gen 1 to Gen 3 night Vision and Gen 3 night vision compared to Thermal Units. You could definitely find Owls. The Thermal Units would pick them up easier because it see's their thermal signature. As I said I could see every duck on a lake in total darkness.
