Night Vision

Night Vision is a relatively new technology, so we have devoted a whole section to this subject. Choosing the right device is not easy. Very few stores carry a wide range, and even fewer can give you good, impartial advice and guidance.

The following pages give a broad overview of the subject, and will help you make an informed decision. Although they have come down in price considerably, they can still be an expensive piece of equipment and you want to know you have spent your money wisely.

Think about what you are going to use it for. How versatile does it need to be? For example, do you want to be able to use it as a hand-held device AND as a weapon scope? Then read the following pages. Some of them are nice-to-know as opposed to must-know, but they will all help you choose the model that is right for you.
