GOYOJO Night Vision Goggles- NVG10 Night Vision Scope with Photo and Video Shooting, NVG Digital Vision Distance 200M for Hunting, Camping

I'll cut to the chase and say these are one of the best version of NVG10s on Amazon. Read below for detailed review. First a little about myself and what I use GoYoJo night vision device for: I am a photographer and I have always loved to photograph long exposure night time photography. I am also an airsoft player that imitate military style scenarios as a hobby. Having the GoYoJo night vision device have helped me enjoy both my hobbies even more. It makes my photography easier because I don't have to do trial and error as much because I can actually see what I am capturing and set my frame. For my military reenactment airsoft hobby, I can now play at night with my group of friends at a valued price. Quality of material: Both night vision monocular and helmet mount are made of quality aluminum and feels sturdy and robust. The eyepiece may seem distorted because of packaging but it actually just needs a little bit of time to gain back it's original form. Lens are crystal clear and the glass seems like it has some quality AR coating on it like my dslr lenses. As a photographer, I can tell GoYoJo made sure the glass are premium quality. The black coating on the monocular and mount seems anodized and feels smooth to the touch and operate. Night Vision: Night vision was usable in a pitch black room with no IR illumination with a bit of noise (picture noise not sound noise if you're not familiar with camera terms) but that is to be expected with digital night vision. With built-in illuminator turned on at lowest level, the picture quality was night and day (no pun intended). The higher the level of illumination, the higher quality picture you'll get. The digital sensor on these GoYoJo NVG10 are really good at producing accurate picture and is sensitive enough to allow enough light to come in even if ambient light is next to none. The included clock on screen is nice to know the time and the compass is a nice touch. Ease of use: Without reading the instructions, I was able to put everything together and use the night vision monocular within 5 minutes. The mount was a perfect fit to my military style replica helmet (airsoft) and does not have any play. It was simple to switch from left eye to right eye and it only takes seconds to do. Adjusting the mount bracket was as easy as turning a lever to loosen or tighten. The user interface was also simple to navigate and there's pretty much only 3 buttons to press for navigating through the settings. Focus ring is nice for adjusting the focus to your vision for a clear picture. The battery was easy to charge with the included charger and the 18650 battery was great because it shares battery with my other gears (flashlight, laser, etc) so I'm always loaded with the necessary battery to operate my GoYoJo night vision device (see pictures of extra battery mounted on back of helmet). Packaging: The packaging is simple but secure. Think of it like a cellphone style packaging. The night vision device is well tucked in foam and accessories are on the side incased in a white box. The package includes the helmet mount, night vision monocular, battery, battery charger, lens wipe and a carry pouch. The carrying pouch is great for when I am not using the device, I can just throw the bag over the device while on the helmet so dust and debris doesn't get on the lens (see pictures). The instruction was easy to read even though I didn't need it. Value: There are nvg10s that costs way more and GoYoJo definitely provides value for your dollar. Comparing this to the more expensive digital night vision devices out there, I do appreciate having value options like this to compete with the big boys. Competition is good because it makes every company innovate and provide more value to the consumers. Communication: Before purchasing this device, I had a few questions regarding quality. Customer service was great and responded within a day. I was able to get my questions answered and made me feel comfortable with purchasing the product. I made a great choice in the end and it did not disappoint. Conclusion: Don't take my word for it, try it out yourself :)

Did a few modifications and upgrades to make it more rugged and efficient, made it vertical instead of horizontal for walking can see the ground better and better for doing room sweeps for home defense, cap with blue painters tape hides the IR light signature(will put this on the HML-IR as well), replaced the lens for a wider FOV. As for the internal mods, I soldered in an SMAJ5.0CA and two 107J 100uF Tantalum capacitors to increase performance (Smoother operation in high-drain modes and fewer glitches. Battery life may extend slightly (~10–25%) in demanding scenarios.) and adds an extra layer of ESD protection (battery swaps, or IR laser noise, EMP or solar flare(if insulated indoors, not while outdoors, I keep NVG, the batteries and 18650 USB Solar Charger in a tablet sized faraday bag when not in use). And I’m considering wrapping in copper tape and then repainting with krylon camo paint for further transient reduction and IRR subduing when in use. Will probably paint it brown as that color is good year round in my region. Weight is good, needs a battery weight pack on back of helmet, fits relatively perfectly(it helps if you have a ratcheting helmet securing system to help dial in the correct position), and I don’t use the zoom as this is intended for CQB home defense. A bit slow and takes getting used to, you need to train with it in your environment to understand the pros and cons effectively and plan for that. When turning head quickly it will be a blur for a moment as it is digital not analog. Pairs well with IR lasers and lights, there can be some noise feedback due to being LEDs but it’s negligible. Having a secondary IR flashlight can increase the range and light up more intense and crystal clear FOV and also save NVG battery life. My setup is generally always geared towards CBRN and having the technological edge, even if the grid goes down I’ll still be able to own the night. I have also upgraded my 40mm PAPR as well. Welding cartridges are really all you need to protect respiratory against iodine dust and they are cheap in bulk, can use 40mm to 3M adapter. Sealing/coating and then Painting your armor carriers can help seal it against iodine dust collection for easier DECON in SHTF.

For the prize its worth it, the camera quality is good, i was missing 2 small screws for the mount but still for the price compared to other i dont care. It has a compass on the camera dash and you can zoom in and out. Please remember you pay what you get for though.

First off iv never used Real NVG's before and I know Good NVG's are pricey but these are absolutely awesome! I looked around to see if I could find a good video showing the quality of these on YouTube before I bought them but couldn't find anything.. so I bought them anyways to test them!.. if your reading this an hesitant on buying them because you wanna know if they work? YES they work! I tested them in pitch black only using the IR light an the picture was clear. In the video I posted the quality may look wired but that has something to do with using my phone to record the NVG screen!.. its about 1.5X so it will take some time getting use to to move around without bumping in to anything. definitely recommend whether its for AIRSOFT or what ever else you would need NVG's for side note: I never used the WIFI crap I don't really care for it.

Greatest digital night vision and easy to install and use

I'm happy with the purchase. For the price, it works fairly well. Battery life seems to be pretty good too. It's definitely not 1X magnification at base, it's about 1.5X or so and there's a noticeable lag if you're trying to navigate while wearing it. I also noticed that the rubber eye cup should be slightly softer, and you have to have your eye perfectly centered to see the screen clearly. Is it going to perform like a $5,000 a piece? No. Is it going to allow you to see whatever is going on on your property in the middle of the night? Yes, and the image is surprisingly clear. For what I need, this will certainly suffice. I can walk around my property and down open trails with this, but don't expect to be able to walk through bushes or unknown territory with it on. Having it on the helmet gives me hands-free options. Maybe a thermal scope will give me a dual band view? We'll see...

Bought both our boys one for airsoft they absolutely love them great quality for a great price! Would definitely recommend purchasing!

It works well for digital and sub $1000
