night vision rocks
The night owl night odyssey is one of the best out there in my opinion it works like magic and it is easy to use. It's waterproof so you don't have to worry about getting it wet. When you turn the infared illuminator on, it's like there is a huge flash light that is scaning the object. It really works great.

Low price, exceptional value
I am amazed at the features this toy has compared to the price. At $150 this is the cheapest I have seen this particular model selling for. I have been looking at purchasing a night vision monocular for about a year now and finally decided on the night owl brand. I wanted something that I wouldnt have to worry about if it got wet. I also wanted to stay with in $200. I have owned the Odyssey for about 5 days now. Each night I spend an hour or two looking through it. It has performed well in near complete dark situations with out the IR illuminator turned on. When the IR illuminator is switched on I can see perfectly in the dark. I recently helped my neighbor find her cat when it wouldn't come home after dark. I was easily able to see her cat hiding in a tree. When I switched on the IR, I was able to pick out the details on the cats collar. I give this item 4 stars because of two improvements that I feel are needed. The lens cap screws on which is great. However, there is no way to secure the lens cap to the unit via a cord or string. If I am not careful I can see myself losing the lens cap. I would also like to see the Odyssey coated in shock absorbing rubber. I am scared to drop it as the manual says it isn't shock proof. Oh, one more thing...the batteries are a little expensive. I was able to pick up two of the 3V lithium batteries for about $10. I haven't been through the first battery yet, but Night Owl says one will last for about 20 hours. Overall, great features and a very low price!

Exellent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The first time i used this night scope i was a little disapointed as i didn't read the instructions, i just put the battery in and pressed a button, but later on when i pressed the IR button...WOW, i am amazed by the results, my garden is about 160 feet long and even in total darkness i can put the IR on and clearly make out any objects/animals that are in the garden. Here in the uk they charge about $450 dollars for this item, I managed to get this model in the Seben Make for about $175 dollars (inc. Delivery from Germany). It is exactly the same model, my mate has the Night Owl Version, and we have compared, they even have similar Serial numbers.
P.s. No matter what Night Owl say these are Designed and made in Russia, not the USA.

This really WORKS!
I could not believe such an inexpensive device would work as WELL as this.
We own a country place we go to in the summer & watching what goes on nocturnally with wildlife is unreal. Where there appeared to be nothing during the day, at night we can see the true potential of our small forest surroundings. It is a blast! Deer, racoons, foxs, owls, coyotes, even BOBCATS come out all over the place!
We also like to watch the stars away from city light pollution & it's amazing what can be seen through night vision.
Another thing it is used for at home in the city is security.
With no sun, that equals no shadows, so it's like you can see right through bushes & thick undergrowth. No "snooper" is going to go undetected hiding behind bushes. (WE can even see THROUGH cars windows at night, if someone tries to hide behind a car)
The IR illuminator works VERY well, if you ever encounter a situation with NO ambient light, like in a totally dark room.
My husband even found a mouse that had been driving us crazy using this thing.
I also like the waterproof feature, but am SO scared to test it's "floatablity" feature.
If you have never experienced night vision, give this a try.
For the price of less than [money], it's a VERY useful item to own.

could not see 40 feet
My husband and I are avid hunters. I bought this for him for our 10 year anniversary. We took it deer hunting with us on several occasions. It would not let us see in the dark past 30 or 40 feet and the product says it will let you see at least 150 feet.
The product was not (to us) worth the money.
