BESTSIGHT DIY Night Vision Scope,Quick Installation Barrle,5" Display Screen with 5w 850nm IR(Infrared Illuminator),View 218YARD/200m in Night,for 38-44mm Eyepiece Scope (Rifle Scope)

This was my first experience with night vision scopes. This is a little different because it is more of a system than a scope. It attaches to your existing mounted scope. It arrived quickly from Amazon and was extremely well packaged. I wasn’t expecting much in the way of quality materials based on the low price. I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of all parts of this system. I mounted it on my scope in about 10 minutes but that time would be halved if I mounted again. I tried to test it but could not get it to work properly. It was my fault. I didn’t realize there were three separate switches that have to be on for it to work properly. One on the illumination light, one on the screen,and one on the camera cylinder. In my defense the instructions are pretty much useless. But it is generally simple enough that it can be figured out. If I would make one suggestion I would recommend comprehensive instructions. I nearly packed mine up and sent it back until I made one last attempt and found a YouTube video review showing the third switch. Glad I didn’t. This thing works great for the price. It’s as accurate as your scope is. I could identify a rabbit at 75 yards in total darkness and a coyote at over 100 yards. I believe I should be able to use it on coyotes out to at least 150 yards. I would recommend this system.

thanks to Amazon. this item is great

Not a bad concept, just poorly executed. I had low expectations for this product based solely on its price and the capability it's supposed to provide. However, it failed to live up to even those expectations. First sign of an issue was the product documentation, which was severely deficient and lacking in the simplest details, or even adequate diagrams. Secondly, the product is more prototype than finished product. Its components are not of very good quality, in particular, the viewing screen is very cheap and not robust at all. The connections are in no way ruggedized for use as designed. Merely usb connections without any locking mechanism to prevent loss of connection. The method of connecting the camera to the scope eyepiece is flimsy, and requires use of self-adhesive tape like you would use for covering the site of a shot, or like if you had a scrape and bandaged it. Not electronics grade at all. This should have been electrical grade rubber tape at least. The camera piece also is not really secure even when fully tight, it allows for movement and shifting of the view through the scope objective lens. The camera piece also lacks the ability to telescope or adjust the camera distance from the eyepiece for best view. Finally, once the product was attached and freshly charged batteries were installed, it failed to function properly. Initially, it came on and worked for a couple of minutes. Enough time to walk out the door into the night, switch to night mode, and turn on the IR light, before switching itself off and on in a never ending, unresponsive boot loop. On a positive note, the IR light is super bright and very easily focused. I understand that this is supposed to be budget night vision, but after you figure the cost of a decent scope and add the cost of this product, you might as well buy any other dedicated day/night scope out there. They can be had for between $400 and $500, and with far more capability. Amazon was very good about the return of this product the next morning and processing my refund.

The scope works well. Daytime is not the greatest. The nighttime view is amazing. In pitch black I could see bugs flying around in my yardIt’s takes a bit of time to get everything focused and mounted correctly the camera unit will need to be focusedThe instructions are useless. The unit does not come with batteries. I found a flash light set on amazon with batteries and a charger for about $20Make sure you have about an inch of scope tube clear to amount the screen. Otherwise it will be a challenge to mount securelyThumbs up on the purchase

Night vision on this unit is useless in complete darkness, you have to have some residual lighting, moonlight will do but if your in the woods where you would expect to be using this product, you have zero chance of using the night vision. they include camo tape, yes tape, to wrap your scope in so the set screws of the camera wont mar up the scope, that is useless as well, the screws cut right into the tape marring up the scope anyhow. Okay, a night vision (infrared) flashlight that is included, that is more useless than using a match! it literally lights up a single dot of area, not more than a 3" circle at 3', any further you might as well give it up! To wrap this up, this is a novelty toy useless for hunting, and the night vision only works in an open area with residual light
