Night Cheetah 16x
I might sound bitter but buying night vision (NV) almost feels like extortion. It's expensive technology, so price will always be an indicator of quality and whether the device offers passive technology or not.
Night Cheetah 16x
A trick to see through some false advertising with budget NV is the term "low light night vision binoculars." These do not offer NV as they function best in daylight with acceptable performance in low light - maybe (I'm giving the benefit of the doubt here).
Why choose a binocular over night vision goggles or monoculars? Essentially, you have magnification, large apertures, and dual IITs (Image Intensifier Tube) that can give you greater light amplification, detail at longer distances, and longer, more comfortable use.
As a high-end night vision binocular used as hands-free goggles, it offers a lot of potential for serious hunters and professional applications where maximum situational awareness, navigational mobility, and high-performance IITs are required.
The price for Gen 2 night vision may seem like a giant leap from Gen 1 and that's because it is. Not only is price significantly higher, quality is too. But I'd say the price is well worth it especially when there's magnification to be gained in the mix.
For my top pick of Gen 2 binoculars, I've chosen the Foxbat-5 NL2. It's a bi-ocular by design and has its own set of benefits to aid in your night time stalking adventures. This Foxbat has 5x magnification, a huge aperture, and multi-coated, all-glass optics. I would say without doubt that the potential for incredible light transmission and amplification is there.
I get excited about this next part because it's one of those "small details" things that makes a huge difference in the field. Usually seen on a night vision binocular is a built-in IR, but this Foxbat won't always need it due to its high-quality, Gen 2+ "Level 3" IIT tube. But, when you find yourself needing IR light, it comes with a detachable Sioux 850 nm long-range IR illuminator.
Gen 2 is becoming more affordable as Gen 1 pickings are slim and digital night vision comes in to fill the gap. The NightStar 2x42 binoculars are one of the few optics left in the market with first generation night vision.
The company boasts a long-ranging 250-yard detection range and that may be true though I doubt it. The identification range will likely be inside 80 yards. Being realistic, expect best performance between 50-100 yards on nights with half-moons.
The Binox 4K is a beast at 9.4" long and 2.5 lbs, but it's a camera, laser rangefinder, and night vision binocular in one package. It also has ATN's BIX (Ballistic Information Exchange) technology. It's an exchange of ballistic data between compatible devices: lase a target and the reticle through the scope shows an updated holdover dot. It's very similar to my experience with Sig Sauer's BDX technology that I field-tested.
With dual CORE tech and an Ultra HD sensor to power the 600 lp/mm resolution with a 1280 x 720 x 2 display, you'll have sharp clarity and brightness no matter the time of day. Is the Binox worth the high price tag for digital night vision? If you want the best, I'd say yes.
Solomark debuts with their budget digital night vision device. Like so many other popular models like it, it's a winner with the cost-conscious buyer. For the money, it's one of the upper-end for entry-level night vision.
The 2" screen converts to 4" with its convex lens assembly. You will have color detail during daytime use and black/white detail for night vision. It has optical magnification of 7x and digital zoom of 2x.
Like comparable models in the market, it boasts of 1300 ft (400 m) detection ranges. It could be this good with perfect conditions and with the built-in 850 nm IR illuminator on max. However, I'd caution you to set realistic expectations for about 100 yards at night.
For under $200, you can have night vision - sort of. No, it's not passive night vision technology as it's digital night vision at its core. Still, to see what's prowling and lurking in the dark (besides you?), a cheap pair of digital glasses is the way to go.
I'm always happy to see that devices, including the Nightfox, can be tripod mounted. Viewing time may be cut short since it operates with 8x AA batteries for only 6 hours. It's digital, so it's going to eat up juice power faster than true night vision tubes.
The Nightfox is an entry-level, digital night vision binocular, and it's priced as such. But, what surprises me is the 18-month warranty on the binoculars. For a budget optic, I'm impressed that it even comes with a warranty.
Overall, the AGM NVG-40 are binocular goggles. It has 1x magnification for hands-free navigational use and is suited to hunting and law enforcement applications. It can be head or helmet mounted for hands-free use. With dual IITs, the NVG-40 offers binocular vision with night vision goggle benefits.
Digital night vision is safe to use during the day, so this NVB can be pulled out regardless of the conditions. I feel like the GThunder has an upper hand against similar alternatives because the GThunder has image and video recording. Not all budget NVDs have it.
Some have quality control issues that mostly involves units not working correctly or no night vision detection past 10 yards. I'd recommend purchasing one of the multi-year protection plans that offer returns, refunds, and/or replacement eligibilities.
The main feature of the GlassOwl binoculars is its digital features. As such, it can be used both in day and night conditions. It has 3.5-7x optical magnification and 2x digital zoom. With it, you can see your targets in up-close detail on the 4" display.
It promises 1300 ft (433 yards) of a detection range, but I advise that this is only likely with use of the built-in 850 nm IR illuminator and with clear night skies. With 31 mm objective lens, FMC (Fully Multi-Coated) optics, manual focus, and 10-30 mm eye relief, I reckon the budget digital binoculars are at the top of their field.
The good news is, the cheap night vision binoculars are covered with a lifetime warranty. Unlike warranties that only cover components and sensors for a limited time period, such as 2 years, this set is covered for life. In my opinion, this adds a whole lot of value to the GlassOwl NVBs.
It gets repeated over again that night vision is expensive. Many will say that anything below Generation 3 is a waste of money, however, Gen 3 is considered the standard for law enforcement and military use. The prices for these optics are upwards of $4000.
If you have around $3000, you can find Gen 2 night vision binoculars that should be good enough for professional use and hunting at night. The increased performance and quality in Gen 2 tubes versus Gen 1 is significant.
True night vision generations include Generation 1, Generation 2, and Generation 3 that are passive devices. You will see Gen 4 night vision binoculars in the market, but it's a manufacturer's term, and not an official industry classification.
Digital binoculars are active systems as they don't require ambient light to work. They are more affordable and dual-use (both day and night) binoculars that usually have photo and video recording functions. The latest models can live stream via connection to smart devices.
You won't see high-powered 10x night vision binoculars in the market. The brightness, clarity, and quality needed to see with magnification just isn't there. Most will be in the range of 2-5x magnification.
Now, many night vision goggles have a wide FOV of 40 degrees while magnified optics such as binoculars are severely restricted. Anything upwards of 20 degrees is considered very wide, but we usually see 15 degree FOVs as the average.
The type of battery and quantity needed to power the device plays a major role. Generally, a digital night vision binocular will take 4-8x AA batteries, and remember that this will quickly tack on weight. Passive night vision devices may only require 1X CR123 or 1x AA battery. Many models allow for rechargeable batteries and power banks to be used.
On passive night vision binoculars, the industry standard for battery life is 20-60 hours. IR illuminator use will draw more power to operate and is usually associated with the low-end of advertised battery life.
The general rule is, if it's digital, you'll likely have to buy the many batteries needed separately. Passive night vision devices that only require a single battery will like have one included in the box, but it's always better to supply it with a new, fresh one anyway.

The main path goes down where you can see another event with the ghost maid. From there, go right to get to B3. Go downwards and soon you will see a red exclamation mark event to the left. Here you will have 2 choices, If you choose the first you won't have a fight here but you won't get anything either. Take the second choice and you'll have a boss fight against 3 Temple Knights and CG #35 afterwards. The knights hit pretty hard and have a skill that heals all of them by 200 HP, and they regen 150 HP per turn when damaged. The knights are weak against darkness, so if you have any dark element sorcerer, use them. This fight can be quite difficult. If you think you're too weak or start running out of resources, just skip the fight and redo the quest later. 041b061a72
