Night Owl's National Geographic Vision Travel night vision monocular is ready to travel wherever you're going. This compact NVD can disappear into your backpack or coat pocket with ease. Your night time viewing pleasure will be greatly enhanced by its first generation intensifier, which is rated with 35 lp/mm of resolution.

No-light viewing is managed by the assistance of an integral auxiliary IR illuminator that can light up the darkest nooks and crannies on any trail. This can be your perfect traveling companion for those nocturnal excursions across the desert, into the forest, or just down the hall to the kitchen for a late night snack.

There are many different variables that affect the distance that one can see with a night vision device, among them the object's size, the level of details being sought from the object and the conditions of observation. Night vision devices detect much further under a full moon and clear skies than they will under a new moon and cloudy skies. Many different formulas are used to determine the statistic of maximum viewing range and this varies by manufacturer, so ultimately the generation of the intensifier tube is much more relevant than any quoted statistic when determining the maximum viewing range.

All night vision devices sold by B&H have mechanisms in place to protect the intensifier tube from a sudden burst of bright light, but this does not mean that bright light doesn't damage the device. No matter what, bright light in any form is not good for the longevity and performance of image intensifier tubes.
