I'm thinking they might be really good to help me wipe out the rest of the squirrels in my neighborhood.

Just got this. The field of view is pretty small and the pov is like 8" ahead of your eyeballs. Like trying to navigate by camcorder. (which is pretty much what it is I guess)

You can strap it to your head, but not with the flimsy ribbon that comes with the thing.

Would have been worth the buy if my cats didn't have seemingly the same level of night vision as this device.

These look like they might be perfect to allow a 10 year old to triumph in Man Hunt games - any idea if they would get here in time to be tucked under the tree?

These are freakin' awesome. My son uses them to watch deer in our back yard at night.

Got these the last time they were up. The 50ft range is about right with the IR LEDs on the high setting. The resolution is so-so, once you focus them you can see things pretty easily, but the classic "how many fingers..?" was tricky at 30ft.

Geez, we're going to be here for a while.

Bedroom eyes?

got mine a few days ago - totally not worth it. home alone voice recorder was a better product than this. its all plastic and the zoom doesnt work.

Woot I'll take 3 if you sell me 3 @ $30

Anyone else terrified with the last image of the mannequin faces?

Think of someone else. I got two of these for gifts for 8 year old kids. What kid wouldn't love a pair of these?

holy santa claus The Star Wars Holiday Special (1978), night vision goggles!

This is the perfect gift for your favorite occupyer in your family. Cots, hydration packs, knifes...maybe they're all gifts for the occupyers.

That's a big ten-four, there, sir!

I'm in. Something for the guy who has everything. (except night goggles)

You know what's amazing? They're not that noticeable on your face!

or for the zombie apocalypse

The strap seems a bit flimsy for the goggles's bulk. Will it securely hold them on your face?

All we need now is a gas mask to ward off the pepper spray! ;-)

This is going to be here a while.
Post some Cats!

I think they were called "x-ray vision" glass's.

Not going to work on zombies. No body heat...

"Goggles do not magnify"

This is what killed it for me- if these magnified they would have been perfect.

My nocturnal, nudist neighbours have too small bodyparts for non-magnifying binoculars.

No one wantsthem Woot... Face the facts.

NEXT!

Back to bed...

i'm sure it would still come in handy trying to find other signs of life


and this is never going to move is it? I loved those 10 minutes before this where the woot item changed like 5 times

Think they're counter thingy must be broken.

Alone? In the dark? You're better off NOT knowing what's out there. You don't want to know....

I fear not my dear friend, I fear not. Quickly, purchase 3 of these night vision things and hook them up in series to attempt to detect if Woot's counter is, in fact, broken.

$39.99 in Target Stores.

Wonder how these little gems would do at ghost hunting?

They work surprisingly well, but they do require two modifications. First, the strap needs to be replaced so that it can be secured to your head. Second, the unit is grossly under-powered. That's where it will need a second modification.

I said to myself: "Self, if these goggles will make my eyeballs look like that, then I'm buying one!"

So. I did.

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

does anyone know if the still shots can be timed, such as every 5 seconds?

i'm trying to get an idea of how many critters are in my backyard at night to gauge the extermination effort.

and does there happen to be a tripod mount?

Got these just a few days ago:

They do fit over glasses with ease and comfort.

They have two re-focusing settings so you can always get a clear picture.

They have a regular IR scatter light, as well as a more powerful blast light, though the blast light has little red lights on it, so it makes you easier to spot.

The camera is okay, good for fun pranks, but not good enough to pinpoint who it is egging your neighbor's house at night.

That is a neck strap, not a headband. It can, however, be modified to work with a forehead lamp style head mount setup.

You will have no depth perception. None.

Great fun for sneaking up on your cat in a dark room.

Even more fun for sneaking up on your girlfriend in a dark room. Just remember you have no depth perception.

Pretending you have amazing super-powers, or that you're a secret agent never gets old.

Pretty sturdy build quality, and good run time on four AA batteries. No noticable difference in run time between alkaline or rechargables.

They are? I bought 2 and I thought I gave the same price for them.....

Welp, at least these will be dwindling away while I drive home from work. Trying to woot while driving is not very safe.
