Night Owl Explorer Marine Pro Night Vision Scope

Amazon.com Review

I have been looking for an affordable night vision scope for years, and I believe I have found it in the aptly named Night Owl Explorer. The well-thought-out design and powerful optics make this scope a pure pleasure to use. Since finding it, I have spent many nights standing on my back porch exploring with my eyes the area around my home.

This little gem literally turns night into day: There is not an area in my yard that is not visible to me, even on the darkest of nights. It works like a powerful spotlight, directing a very bright beam visible only through the lens.

The Night Owl fit my hand perfectly, and the deep blue rubber outer coating made for a nice look and feel, while also weatherproofing the unit. The handy strap held it tight to my palm, placing both the Power and the Illuminator buttons directly under my fingers for easy control. The care taken with the Night Owl extends to the smallest of details, including power management: Simply setting it down turns the power off so you will never accidently run the batteries down. --Dave Cole

Pros

  • Small and lightweight
  • Ergonomic design
  • Effectively turns night into day
  • Water resistant
  • Built-in Illuminator

Cons

  • No tripod mounting

Nikon 7x50 Sports & Marine Compass Binocular 7443 is completely waterproof, fogproof and shock resistant to survive in the harsh marine environment. Nikon chose individual focus for the 7x50's eyepieces to eliminate the need for constant focusing and re-focusing when most viewing is at longer distances. Each ocular lens of Nikon 7743 7x50mm Sports / Marine Binoculars is focused to meet the requirements of your eyes. Then, no further focusing is required. The optimum ratio between magnification (7x) and objective lens (50mm) delivers an exit pupil of more than the 7mm that will accommodate your eyes during very low light conditions. The result is maximum light gathering at dawn, dusk or fog when navigation markers must be seen & identified for safe piloting in coastal waters, harbors and inlets.

The 7x magnification of this Nikon 7x50mm binocular is the power of choice by mariners for steady viewing on the water. The lens surface of this binocular has Nikon's multi-layered, anti-reflection coatings to transmit the highest possible percentage of ambient light.

Steiner 7x50 Marine Binocular

Big on performance and generous on economy, Steiner's 7x50 Marine binocular is ideal for both boaters and shore-bound users.

The binocular is equipped with marine glass that's built to traditional Steiner navy/military styling, from its sharp and incredibly bright optics to the easy-to-grip exterior.

The Sports-Autofocus system, meanwhile, puts everything into focus from 20 yards to infinity once calibrated to the user's eyes. Most importantly for boaters, however, is the binocular's waterproof and shockproof housing, which protects the optics should you accidentally drop the binocular into a body of water. Other details include BAK-4 prisms, fully multicoated optical surfaces, an easy-to-grip exterior, outstanding light transmission that peaks over 90 percent, and 20mm of long eye relief.

The 7x50 Marine binocular--which comes with a web strap, a rain and spray guard for the eyepieces, and an attached objective lens cap--is backed by a 10-year warranty.

Specifications:

  • Objective lens: 50mm
  • Magnification: 7x

Multicoated Lenses: After the lenses are cut and polished, Nikon coats them with multiple layers of anti-reflective compounds. These compounds serve to boost light transmission, improve contrast (to pull game out of its surroundings), deliver true color rendition, flare-free viewing and generally enhance image quality.

Waterproof and Fogproof: Fogproof means the instrument has been purged of virtually all moisture, air, and gaseous water molecules while in a special chamber in an almost-perfect vacuum state. Then, the instrument is filled with nitrogen gas and sealed securely with O-rings. Waterproof instruments also have water immersion capabilities.

What's in the Box: Rangefinder, 3-volt lithium battery, belt case, and neck lanyard.
