I pretty much bought this unit blind since there were no reviews. So, here is what I know now after owning it. It does not come with a battery. It uses one cr123, which is easy to install by unscrewing the I.R. spotlight, which is 5/8" diameter. I suggest buying several batteries when you order the unit. This unit comes with a black heavy duty nylon belt carry case. The belt loop will fit up to a 2" belt. When you look through the eye lens you see green, so use your off eye, there by not screwing up your night vision on your dominant eye. This unit has only two buttons to operate. One is to turn on the battery and image tube ( green light). The other turns on the I.R. emitter (red light). The lights are small and possitioned above the eye lens. Now, these buttons protrude a bit, and can be bumped and turned on inadvertantly. So, I suggest you carry it in it's pouch with the eye lens up. That way you can lift the velcro flap and see if the green light is on or not, no gain waisting a battery. The unit appears well made, but is not water proof and is not armor coated. You have to spend more money if you desire either of those options. The owners manual seems to be correct as far as viewing distances. Without I.R. emitter on, 1/4 moon light = 50yds, 1/2 moon light =75yds. Street lights work real good. I have a street light accross the street and another 100yds away with alot of shadowy dark areas in between. With only the battery & image tube turned on, all the dark areas ceased to exist, just like daylight only green! The spects say you can see a man out to 125yds using the I.R. emitter and moon or streetlights. It is true. Now, without any other light except the I.R. emitter, you can expect to see a man at 50yds easy, further if he is moving around. Now for the bad news. The I.R. emitter produces a nice red glow. It is not passive, luckily the emitter is only 5/8" diameter. Otherwise this is a great unit for the price, I'm happy. Sorry for the long review.

This is my first night vision so dont have much experience as to what to look for but the scope works as advertised. It uses a cr 123 style battery which is not included. Nylon sheath comes with it with belt loop althogh for putting it in a back up I would put the scope in something more cushioning and impact resistant. Scope says it's made in russia. It's a 1st generation Intensifier. The artifacts were minimal and units seems very well built. I tried rechargeable RCR 123 batteries and they worked just fine.
Unit is not waterproof, and neither shock resistant so please bear that in mind.

For the price I paid for it, thru Amazon, which was under $70, this is a GREAT piece.
I previously used to have/use a "kiddie" Jasik $40 night vision "binocular", and wanted to see how much better/clearer a "true" Gen1 NV unit would be.
Comparing the two, the Night Owl Gen1 unit is leaps ahead in clarity, size and magnification. Well worth what I paid for it, though I likely wouldnt pay over $100 for something I use as occasionally as this.
