Im looking at buying these. I have found a few different ones across google. Just wondering if anyone has them and if they can share any info about them?

Try Jaycar.

These are pretty good for the price.

Thanks astro i might go into the store and have a look. I wanted the ones that show heat signatures not sure if they are called something else? I go out camping a bit and get curious to know what wildlife there is lurking around

 

[jeffreythe00]

The ones that show heat signaturres are called "Thermal".

I can buy it and you can send me paypal money to ship it to you, how about that? I know I just raised the eye brows of a few people in the forum and expect it, I'm just kidding folk. I can't do that, especially if I were to say so in an open forum

I was reading about the new FLIR thermal imager for an iphone, it is very nice. I've been researching night vision optics for a couple of years, what are you primarily going to use it for? I might have something to share regarding them. I bought some surplus black and white tubes to make a IR telescope out of someday, if you have a big enough light bucket, I think the black and white gen 2 units are in some ways better than the green gen 3.

Just at home and when i go camping to see what animals are around the area etc

If you really want to see in the dark, get
gen 3+. For IR viewing, the cheap gen 1
will work. Just don't expect to see any
better in the dark without IR
illumination. FLIR will allow you to see
some things in complete darkness, but good
resolution will cost the same as gen 3+
anyway. It depends on weather you just
want to see in the dark or need the extra
temperature data.

i dont really need them, just something i have always been interested in getting to play around with.

 

[djQUAN]

is a cmos camera with IR filter removed similar to gen1 or gen2 NV in viewing IR?

Do you need the kind of night vision the military uses? Or infared. I own infared I got made from Jakes Pacific. There also useful for seeing IR laser light. They are $50. Range is $50 and they use about 20 IR LED's.

I own these: http://www.amazon.com/EyeClops-Visi...73&sr=8-4&keywords=jakks+pacific+night+vision

They were $50 when I got them though.

These are probably just as good and they can record to an SD I think. http://www.amazon.com/Spy-Clops-Ult...73&sr=8-1&keywords=jakks+pacific+night+vision

There all toys but they work great and are really cool!

The camera is probably better than gen 0
and 1 in every way except there is no
viewfinder to use it as "nightvision" in
the classic sense.

Gen 2, not a chance. The microchannel
plate in the gen 2 scopes amplifies the
light 20,000x. A CCD won't "hold a candle"
to it.
