Sports reviews of Night Owl Tactical Series G1 Night Vision Binocular Goggles (1x)

Customer Review: Hey it works but i'll update it through it's life
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars

Received it promptly from amazon with free shipping. Item is made in Belarus. Instructions are sufficient enough. Please note, you need to purchase the ultra rare N-battery(mostly used for medical devices) - I checked every local store and all did not carry it. I had to buy it from amazon and paid a hefty shipping price because it was a third party.

Let's move on to the goggles. The item is divided into two parts, one is the binocular part the other is the head strap.

The head strap sure looks scary (like something used in the movie SAW) but is easy to put on and adjust. You can adjust the circumference and then the tightness and comes with a chin strap to make it tighter. I have a big head - about 16 inches around, and it fits with a little more room for adjustment. Overall, it should fit almost anyone.

The worst thing I am afraid of the goggle part is the two buttons, these buttons seem like they will be stuck if press to hard, so don't press to hard!

The feel of this item is not the best; it still feels like it's cheap but all I can say right now is it works.

I tried it outdoors at night, ultra pitch dark and it gives a good image. I say the clarity is 8 out of 10. Maybe I could have some better focusing, but I tried and tried and that was the best I can come up with.


For 557 dollars it provides an adquedate use for night vision; I'm sure they are many out there that are even clearer, but you will have to pay an even bigger price.

I'll try to update on this product as time passes.

Description of Night Owl Tactical Series G1 Night Vision Binocular Goggles (1x)

Night Owl Owl Night Vision Tactical Goggles NOBG1 Binoculars
Night Owl's classic military-style night vision goggle system is designed for hands-free use with a head-mask. The hinged quick-release mount also allows the user to quickly flip the goggle up out of his field of view or to detach for use as a hand-held binocular. Designed for use while walking or operating a vehicle, the BG1 presents the user a non-magnified 1-to-1 image with a wide field of view. 1.4 F lenses improve depth perception beyond that provided by standard night vision viewers. And a light sensor automatically cuts power to prevent burning out the intensifier tubes in the event of exposure to a potentially damaging light source.
