Night vision goggles are one of those things that you've always wanted, but known that the novelty wasn't worth the hundreds (or thousands) of dollars such fancy equipment obviously would cost. Well, good news! Now there are night vision goggles priced with you, the amateur pervert, in mind. Only $90! The EyeClops goggles we checked out in February are finally for sale. They're similar but assuredly crappier than the ones special forces badasses use! No sleeping ladies are safe when you've got cheap night vision goggles. [ThinkGeek]

Kind of reminds me of the night vision goggles from Jurassic Park... Those things are bulky!

Where can I get a set of those beasts. What I really wanted was a NV scope but oh well. PS no pervert here

Actually, if you put a green filter on the LED's, it'd look like Sam Fisher's NVG's.

i wonder if they are ballistic rated? having a pair of these at a night game would be sweet.

we are the borge.....resistance is futile!

It's not even true night vision!

If you're serious.... http://www.opticsplanet.net/nightvision3rd.html

what do you mean? like a replica night vision?

That's exactly what popped in my head at first sight. LOL They look bulky.

The EyeClops Night Vision goggles let you see in total darkness using infrared lights, all while giving you that special Terminator look. Two attachments allow visibility 10 or 20 feet ahead—the 10-footers give off no light, the 20s show some small red dots.

The Borg have invaded.

these things are junk, you can see up to 20 feet MAX....

"We are going to assimilate you to the Borg Collective. Resistance is futile."
The more times I see them I laugh harder. No offence to the manufacturer intended. LOL Hey but Halloween is coming up.

Haha not everybody can cough up enough cash for Gen. 3 (or higher) night vision bro!

You can more or less build those yourself. They aren't, as previously stated, real NV. They're basically just a CMOS-based camera, capable of seeing IR (like cheapo "spy cameras" on eBay) and some IR LEDs providing illumination.

My laptop's built in webcam does the same thing lol

night vision can not be import right!

You can buy NV at places like Canadian Tire and Walmart... Im sure its safe to import lol

+1 I built one back in high school, the 2mm IR LEDs, just like a flashlight shoots a beam of IR light, so if anyone else had one on, you would instantly see the beam and vis versa.

Basically generation 0 tech.

So-called "digital" night vision is as Drake described. The resolution is on par with good Gen 2 devices, but these need a LOT of infrared to see anything. Without it you're just as blind as someone with the naked eye. A huge IR spotlight would assist greatly but makes you a lot more visible, especially to anyone else with any sort of NV device.

I think these new goggles are advantageous to airsoft. Night games can be a lot of fun and VERY few people have the scratch to drop on acceptable NV devices. I had a Gen 2 D-300 monocular at one point and found it lacking, especially for the $1,200 I dropped on it. At the price point this device is marked at, it makes it affordable to most any airsofter and opens up the possibility of far more night games. Who cares if the built-in illuminator is only good to 20 feet? An IR filter for a flashlight can be bought or made with a piece of exposed photographic film. Bring these on and get out there in the dark, I say!

whats with the death star on the top??? is that for blowing up planet shaped balloons?
:p

or is it the US that cant export to canada?
I thought there was something like that...

anyway I like mine better :D

Thats not even night vision, its an IR camera, same idea but with ALOT more IR illumination lol
It's the old 1950's starlight!
Anyway moral of the story is anyone with a gen1 tube is gonna see you no matter where you are, best chance is to blind them with your many IR lights lol

Hmmm won't be to invisible if someone has an IR Detector built for catching these devices seriously I've seen them for sale at a electronics surplus store.

This will be popular at Star Trek conventions.

It looks like some sort of weird pilot helmet from Star Wars. Like some Tie Interceptor or Advanced pilot should be shooting down X-Wings wearing these things....too bulky.

Far as I know US state dept won't issue any export permits for these. You'll have to get them from the UK or get ones built in Canada.

All it does is allow you to see infared and has a giant infared flashlight on it.

You can get the same effect using infared LEDs and a camcorder viewfinder (I.E. Paris hilton night vision).

I had to sell my nightvision goggles for car insurance.

Saw one of these at walmart today...

I think my kid got one in his McHappy meal!

I guess it wouldn't be to hard to mod the externals.

It's the US that will not export higher than Gen 2, and Canada does not allow the import of higher than Gen 2 plus (for Joe Public). As well, Canada restricts any NVD that can be weapon mounted (again, for Joe Public).

Something like this I would consider fun and affordable for the average airsofter, and it'll only be time before someone tinkers around with one enough to figure out how to properly mod it to function better.

SHA DO

You mean for import right? You can buy state of the art NV riflescope (GEN 4) from Newcon Optik right here in Toronto, no restrictions.
