poor mans night vision?

[george_995]

Any of you guys have or know anyone that has fiddled around with a monocular night vision with an aimpoint or eotech compatible w/ NV. Along the lines of something like this http://www.dawsonprecision.com/ProductDetail.jsp?LISTID=8000092D-1222977344 . Just curious if it would work. Thanks

the low cost night vision I have used is very two dimensional, leaving you with no depth perception. I am not sure at what point that goes away.

While not a helmet mounted version, I picked up one of the nv monocular for a good price a while back. It was a neat toy and surprised me how well it worked in a dark building. It still worked good outside with additional IR light. I tried using it through an EOTech on nv mode, it did work however I don't see a way to shoot a gun using it.

That said the more advanced ones are very impressive.

Good to know. I know with NV, it is a case were you get what you pay for. For me rather have the quality firearm vs. the gen3 NV. <laughs>
