Perfect condition. Never abused physically or abused by letting too much light into the lens. Barely a scratch on it. Awesome in an open area with stars or moon (backyard, field..etc) On cloudy nights, it is still good, but not the ebst, since there is less light from stars. However, in total, pitch black areas, the IR comes in handy. It is Generation 1, with main power, and secondary power supply-- (VERY BRIGHT IR illuminator) It has a huge 2.5in wide lens to allow more light intake. That lens focuses from about 10' to infinity. The eye piece also does hairline focusing to match up with the front lens to get as clear an image as possible.
CR123 included, about 60-80%power left
Has automatic power shutoff, in case too much light is taken through the lens by accident. Weighs roughly 1lb.
Takes 1x cr123. Expensive battery, but lasts a long time if used correctly, or not running the IR for minutes and minutes on end. I'm not sure about other NV, but with this, the main power will run for a few minutes without being on. Example: I push the main power button for a second until the unit is at full running mode, then i simply push it again (to turn the main power off) and it still works. When it gets dim again, simply repeat^^^. All NV probably does this, possibly because the phosphor screen or photo cathode is just fading out. Either way, using it like this will make the CR213 last much longer.
Looking for $170.00 shipped, ob.
A bit dusty on the sides, no scratches
To camera, the IR isn't that bright. To the NV, its a mini spotlight that is useful from 100+yds
