Good little NV tool.

I had to return 2 of these because the camera and video would not work and I could not get images to play back. It also had a problem with the video recording when I tried to use the video it would go back to setup screen or shut off. The third one I received worked as it was supposed to and did what it was claimed to do. But then the problems came back with this one also. So I put a new SD card in that I bought from the Verizon store and it has been working fine ever since. So I would recommend that the Manufacture of this Carson item check the quality of the SD cards being sent with this unit. I'm happy with it so far now and hope it will still continue to work as advertised. It's nice and light weigh and works great in the dark and can now record images on camera and video. Yay!!
