Sports reviews of Night Owl Explorer Marine Pro Night Vision Scope

Customer Review: Some Good, Lots Bad
Sport shop rating: 1 Stars

The good--you can see fairly well in the dark at very close range.

The bad--specs say 5x magnification...and it doesn't do anything like that. In fact, no zoom capability whatsoever. When I called Night Owl's support to ask about that, the support person had no idea what I was talking about. I phoned the next day and the next--the same person answered the phone every time and she knew NOTHING about the product! I wrote an email to Night Owl--no response. So this product DID NOT deliver (at least to me) what it promised in the specs and there is NO SUPPORT for it. Have returned and have no intention of going Night Owl again.

Description of Night Owl Explorer Marine Pro Night Vision Scope

The powerful Marine Pro is the ultimate, premium performing monocular that combines exceptional engineering advancements of a 100% waterproof body structure with features such as a 48mm high-grade camera quality lens with 5x image magnification. The solid construction and rubber-coated night blue finish combined with ergonomic soft-touch control buttons and indicator lights make the NOCX5M a top line performer.
I have been looking for an affordable night vision scope for years, and I believe I have found it in the aptly named Night Owl Explorer. The well-thought-out design and powerful optics make this scope a pure pleasure to use. Since finding it, I have spent many nights standing on my back porch exploring with my eyes the area around my home.

With the Night Owl, you will see an image as if you just looked through a regular optical device, except the image will appear in a monochrome green color.
This little gem literally turns night into day: There is not an area in my yard that is not visible to me, even on the darkest of nights. It works like a powerful spotlight, directing a very bright beam visible only through the lens.

The Night Owl fit my hand perfectly, and the deep blue rubber outer coating made for a nice look and feel, while also weatherproofing the unit. The handy strap held it tight to my palm, placing both the Power and the Illuminator buttons directly under my fingers for easy control. The care taken with the Night Owl extends to the smallest of details, including power management: Simply setting it down turns the power off so you will never accidently run the batteries down. --Dave Cole

The high-grade objective lens has a focal length of 80mm and gives you a camera quality, 5x magnification level and superior optical resolution. When the sturdy construction and rubber-coated, 100-percent waterproof finish is combined with the ergonomic soft-touch control buttons and indicator lights, you get a high-quality monocular equipped with exceptional engineering advancements. Requires one 3V lithium battery to operate.
