Bushnell Night Vision Monocular
There's a great way to get into a night vision viewer without breaking the bank. It's a Bushnell night vision monocular called the Guardian. The Guardian #264202 has a 2x lens that is 42mm in diameter. The unit uses 2 AAA batteries and comes with a simple fanny pack. If you've never experienced night vision before, this is a good way to find what it can do. The controls are simple. Insert batteries, turn it on with the top mounted switch. The light for the infrared light is next to it for use in total darkness. The whole monocular is about 11 ounces with the batteries installed, and it's about the size of a pop can. Carrying is easy. The unit will allow you to see objects in total darkness. The picture will be green and black like you see on TV, and it will have pronounced grain in the picture. This is normal for all first generation units. First generation intensifier tubes are Russian or Eastern European and are interchangeable. The deciding factor on a purchase is bases mainly on size and features. The Bushnell company certainly stands behind their products, and there is no worry about warranty repair from such a reputable company if something breaks. The warranty is two years. Enjoy an inexpensive way to view wildlife or provide security for your home or business.
