Nocturnal wildlife viewing won’t be the same with the Bushnell 260500 Equinox Z Night Vision Goggles.
This set of binoculars from Bushnell, one of the most recognized and reputable sports optics brands in the world, features an easy to hold, heavy-duty, and water-resistant design, a powerful infrared illumination as well as the ability to record pictures and videos.
Though technically a monocular scope since the left lens is actually the IR lamp, the image in the goggles is sent to both eyes with diopter adjustment just like real binoculars.
Three levels of adjustment allow you to specify how much IR light to release to increase the night vision clarity from high level down to no IR light while in night vision mode.
