Fast delivery and great product

Ok there is one caveat to this. You really need to buy a quality aftermarket either red or infra red light for this. Then it becomes an incredible value. I already had the light. I have been trying to coyote hunt with lights with zero luck. Someone recommended this on a fb page saying they were picking up eyes at 800 yards with it. I can say that they are correct. But you have to have a light that will get out there. Without an aftermarket light it's basically a toy and useless for what I need. But as mentioned I already had a awesome light and this has a pic rail that let's u mount the light.With a good light I can sweep a half mile field in a few seconds with a great degree of confidence whether there is anything there or not. It picks up eyes amazingly. Way better than we could ever do with just flashlights. This is a great way to see what's going on while trying to call them in and have your second guy at the ready with a light on his boomstick. Then once it's in close enough to pick up good with a light you are ready to go. Under 200 yards this thing is 100 percent capable of i.d. out side of that u can usually tell by their mannerisms but may or may not have a good look at their body. It has no problem picking up eyes 500 yards our from a racoon in a tree. It's like a spotlight on steroids.You have to understand this isn't a 3500 dollar thermal, but as a scanner and being used in conjunction with lights, this thing will step your game up I promise. I think coupled with a 100 dollar ir light off Amazon you will have a very capable scanner. Or, if like me you already have one, then this is a no Brainerd.I included a couple pics from a coyote that was 150 ish yards out. It's better in person than the pics show.

For the $:Feels ok built, performs ok but not nearly as the advertised (650 feet range). I'd say 200 feet in my case for sure (confirmed with range finder), it has a small picatinny rail to add an external IR light, I will do so and hopefully it will illuminate more and further...it's like a glorified baby monitor but "tactical" and can zoom the image. The default baseline image field of view is small, inside the house, from about 25' across, I can only see like a torso with head fitting on the screen...anything closer it becomes blurry even after adjusting. At a 200' distance, the field of view is acceptable. Since it's a monocular, it made my sight feel weird after looking for a bit, it takes a moment to get both eyes back adjusted to the same light spectrum.So... for my need, it does the job... I can look in pitch darkness and see the road clear enough to confirm if anyone/anything parked or walking. The integrated IR doesn't like to go through glass unless completely perpendicular and against the window... If i wanted to scan the road, I would have to step outside to do so, since I would have to change angles through my window. I didn't care about daytime since the whole point is to see in the dark... I would say, it does good transitions when lights come across on and off... just like any baby monitor lol...Oh one more thing... for the $, Bushnell offers a decent warranty vs any "no name" out there.Hope this helps someone out there.

The IR light on this is too weak. In pitch black I can only see fuzzy outlines of objects out to about 30 yards. I cant see anything in my field thats about 100 yds deep, not even the trees at the back. I could hear animals running around and this couldnt even detect eyeballs. You need an additional IR light to be able to see further out.

I bought this on a whim and was pleasantly surprised. Burned through the Alkaline battery pretty quick because I had accidentally hit the power button putting it in the case. Oops. No documentation came with it, but I was able to go online and download the most current version. The IR illuminator comes on the moment you turn on the device. Once I read how to use the menu, I was able to turn it off. I could also increase or decrease the brightness of the illuminator. I do have IR floodlights around my house so I don't need to use the illuminator on the device unless I move further away from the house. The IR floodlights keep the neighbors from complaining when I turn them on. I was able to see accurately out to 300 yards. Another thing I noticed, I can see a lot of stars when I point my Monocular into the sky, even those I can't see unaided. I have been very pleased with the Monocular. I did replace the 8 GB card with a 64 GB one for more storage. With a 1.0 view, the device works great. When I increase the zoom up to 3.0 the image becomes grainy. For me, the 1.0 view is just fine.10/16/2023 UpdateWhen using the 64 GB card, the device will shut off at times while in use. Sometimes it won't even come on. Once I removed the 64 GB card and replaced it with the 8 GB version that came with it, the problems ceased. Since I primarily use it for wildlife spotting in my neighborhood and night viewing of the sky in conjunction with a couple of telescopes, I don't need to record any video or pictures. I did buy a couple of IR lights for it and they work well with the scope. The quality is pretty good for the price. I would buy one again if I needed another one.
