Eyeclops Night Vision Infared Stealth Binoculars

I bought these for my boys (5th grade and kindergarten) last Christmas and wasn't really sure what to expect. Holy cow! These were a huge hit! I could not believe how well they worked for the price! They ended using them to play hide and seek in the dark house at night - the seeker getting to use them. I can't even tell you how many hours of entertainment they have provided. Our pair are still working well one year later, but I wouldn't exactly say that they're real durable, but not the most fragile things either. We've taught our boys that these are fragile and that if they want to keep them they have to take care of them. They've been pretty good about it, but I know they've been dropped once or twice and they haven't broken.So one year after purchasing these they still work well and they're still fun. I'd highly recommend them!

I was pleasantly surprised by this toy. While I wouldn't want to have to rely on these on any real battlefield, these work great for any imaginary scenario. These goggles are much cooler than any toy that I had as a kid, and every kid should have one to play with. While the resolution is poor, the distance is actually quite good. I own an infrared flashlight, but the built-in lighting has a viewable distance of at least 100 feet and is better than my flashlight.Impressive for under $100.Every kid should have these!Pros:1) Works surprisingly well2) Solid plastic construction3) Adjustable focusCons:1) Poor resolution, but still great for the price2) Bulky3) No depth perception

I picked this up on sale from Amazon for around $50 as a Christmas present for my 14 year-old son. He really seems to think it's cool to have functioning night vision equipment, and I tend to agree. Tailor your expectations to the fact that in the end, this is designed as a toy,and you won't be disappointed. As a toy, it is pretty impressive. It indeed provides night vision, but the range is pretty short. It seems well constructed and runs on AA batteries. Once the initial novelty of "hey, I can see at night" wears off, what use or how much fun they can offer will be up to your individual child, and maybe where you live. If we lived in a more rural area, I could really see these providing hours of nighttime exploring. We, on the other hand, live in an urban area and my kid simply isn't out wandering around that much at night. But, the bottom line is these do function as advertised. On a side note, I also wanted to get these to have an inexpensive form of night vision equipment in the house for disaster preparedness. (earthquakes, blackouts, etc.) At $50, this item fits works well as a toy and inexpensive night vision for use in a pinch.

Well-built product with great looks and intuitive controls. Nice big viewing screen and crisp image. Works great in a dark room hunting for my kitty. Outside is another story. Unless it is an absolutely black, starless sky, any ambient city lights significantly diminish the ability to see animals, etc.

I got these thinking it could be a total waste of money and that it was probably just a cheap toy. Well, we took it camping a few times and have been amazed how well you can see in the dark of night with this little toy. They work very well as far as I'm concerned and so well that I don't plan on upgrading to the more proffesional grade night vision goggles or binoculars for about $500 more. They work well with good batteries but the view does get grainy when the batteries lose power. Also, be gentle with them as they are classified as a toy and are made of the hard plastic that can break quite easily. I am also gentle on the switches and controls as..once again they are also toy grade. Overall...we were amazed how well these worked even at 100-150 feet, the toy grade quality was expected at less than $100...Overall...amazed...fun in the bush on dark nights!!!
