Night Vision Goggles - Nightfox Swift Head Mounted Night Vision Binoculars, Wide Angle 1x Lens NVG, Close Quarters NVG Goggles Tactical Infrared Night Vision Binoculars for Adults

I purchased this after wanting to get into night vision solutions. After combing through the reviews and recommendations of the comments on Amazon as well as YouTube channels I decided to try this product out. My main goal was to use these goggles to be able to walk to and from Deer stands or blinds in early morning or evening so I don't give myself away using flashlights. The limited field of view takes some getting used to as well as the refresh rate of the sensor but it is entirely doable to move around in the dark while walking at a brisk pace. I will say after trying it out this is NOT something you'd want to use moving through woods. I constantly found myself running into hanging vines or stumbling on uneven ground. If you have to move through woods, take it slow and use trees for bracers and absolutely turn on the infrared lights so you can cast shadows and get a decent depth of field. Moving on open terrain that is flat is ideal and easy to do and even using the Lunarlight mode (no IR light given off) allows one to traverse well without using lights. Another plus was when I received my unit it had a fully charged battery and between me using it as a tester in and around my house as well as a walk back in the dark after some still deer hunting in an evening hunt the battery is still full or at least it shows full on the HUD icon. I can not wait to use this device even further but for now I am loving it! 5/5 for entry level night vision!

Keep in mind I am reviewing this a day after receiving it in the mail. I took a chance on the night fox swift due to it's great price and the singular review on YouTube that seemed slightly like an ad. Here is what I think. This unit is dependent on an ir source (one is provided inside it), by that I mean I don't believe these can be low signature night vision using ambient light only. The picture quality within it's range was great considering the cost. Speaking of it's effective range I was able to see clearly within 70 paces (as advertised), I feel this could be extended with an additional ir source. The controls were easy to manipulate and the headband worked much better than I expected and the unit is extremely light. After some getting used to I was able to walk through fields checking cattle, play ball with my dog and even jog a few yards (bouncy and a bit laggy on the jog). The only cons that I noticed were as follows: 1. small screen with odd zoom and narrow field of vision means you will have to re-learn moving and will not have any depth perception and may have problems seeing it if you are far sighted 2. everything outside of ir range is not visible meaning if you are using it to check live stock you will probably need a strong ir source to reach in the field. In conclusion I feel like the nightfox swift is well worth the money and I am looking forward to using their product more.

Ir works well. Can see in dark has various backlight ir levels . Can work through windows car windshield. Fits well to head . However when i use it as head held having it fit to my eyes it becomes super difficult to focus and use it for prolonged time. It is like you are trying to focus your eye to see something on your nose. I couldn't use it for more than a minute and had to remove it and use it like a binocular that i put front of my eye 2-4 inch away. I couldnt focus my eye with head setup.I have tried to use "focus" option but it made no help. Seems it just changes the clarity of the screen inside of it rather than giving you a optical path to help your eye to focus like in classic binoculars. I have 0 to 0 prescribed eyes. Which means at last optometric test i had ,my eyes were fully correct. And yet it was difficult for me to focus on it for long time. I am thinking to return it. Build is rugged and looks good ,does not feel like its going to break at first drop but i wanted to be able to use it more than hour without burning out my eye focus. Seems designed more like a night binocular than goggles

Let’s start off by getting this over with first. These ARE night vision goggles and no they are NOT high end. Okay, with that over with let’s break this down. Some people don’t realize that there are many different types of NVG’s out there. Unlike the classic image intensifier style these are digital night vision. The difference? Vacuum tubes are swapped for a low Lux camera. This makes it cheaper and easier to produce. Please understand that if you want the “classic” goggles expect to pay in the thousands vs the $200 I snagged these for. A few things on function, these are great for the price point. Only thing I wish was improved on would be a wider angle for the lenses. View is very limited with these and makes it slightly difficult to move in close quarters. Nevertheless these are still very comfortable to wear and work very well. No you are not going to see great detail at extreme distance but are still a great device. Also note that with this price point the two IR lights are slightly in the visible spectrum. So in operation you will see two glowing red eyes piercing the dark abyss. This may be a deal breaker for some, but I’m okay with striking fear into the hearts of my enemies as a shadowy demon emerges from the dark. In all I am extremely happy with this buy, and despite some minor flaws these will be a great addition to my airsoft gear, and great for general entertainment on a long work night.

Nightfox’s Swift 2 Pro Night Vision Goggles is recommended by large format photographers. It is beneficial to use the 940mm IR for darkroom film processing and work. I purchased these to eliminate the feel and touch tasks while in total darkness. Unfortunately, after receiving and testing the goggles everything was blurry in spite of the focusing wheel. Everything became clear if I held the screen about 8-12” away from my face, thus negating the purpose of my purchase. After doing research, I discovered this is a common occurrence amongst those who are far-sighted like me. The screen also arrived with a small horizontal scratch/mark. I believe these goggles are a good value and appear to be well made. However, Nightfox should reveal the issues with those who wear corrective lenses.(It is mentioned somewhat in the Q&A comments, or develop an inexpensive unit that has adjustable diopters, and/or can take VR2 Myopia lenses. How cool would that be. …Regrettably, I had to return them.

I’ve used the PVS14 before, which retails for about $2500 new. While this product is definitely not that, it is shockingly good night vision for less than 1/10th the price. Getting into NVGs is extremely expensive. After a ballistic helmet, ear pro, lights and a good pair of binos, you’re looking at close to the cost of a new vehicle. While I intend to get the real deal in the future I wanted something to practice on until then. The brightness, field of view, battery life, recording options and multiple IR settings make this a great practice tool. It will pick up an IR laser or even a red dot off your rifle, and it’s super easy to use. It may not look as cool as the binos but it definitely works and works well. If you’re attaching this to a helmet, I would definitely buy the Wilcox quick release mount and the adapter for these from the nightfox website. They don’t seem to have it on Amazon.

Si publicidad es engañosa, su alcance real en la noche es de 2 metros, más de esa distancia no se ve nada, además la resolución de la pantalla es muy baja,entiendo que es un producto de bajo costo, pero sus especificaciones están muy lejos de la publicidad del producto.

Good value, you could use these to spot animals or navigate in the dark. Don’t expect to zero dark thirty some burglars with it though.
