I'm giving this 4 stars. It works but it's big, bulky, and heavy. I'm, just not sure that overweighs the advantages. For me, this is going on a pellet gun for plinking chem sticks at night. It's not something I want on a battle rifle because of the functionality vs weight/size. I attach five photos that I've taken through my cell phone through this night vision that was mounted to a telescoping 2.5x-25x scope. The two pictures with rainbow banded colors without this night vision's IR light turned on and with a few ambient lighting sources turned on but those lights were down the hall or from a semi closed closet light 15 ft behind me. The middle picture is the same lighting but the photo was just taken with my cell phone and not the scope or through the night vision. This photo represents the general amount of light in the room whereas, the 1st two images are the same lighting but taken through the scopes. For the 4th picture, I turned off all the lights in the room and took a cell phone photo without the scopes and you can see my cat's two eyes shining and that's pretty much all you can see. I then turned on this night vision's IR light and took the same phono through the magnified scope and the night vision mounted to that scope. While the cat is gone by then, you still bee the chair. There are some color bands but it's mostly B&W but it's clear and you can easily identify objects. When you pan the sight around, there is a lot of lag and blurring but if you are still and let the sight do it's job, it works pretty good. There are a ton of options to record images and videos and the unit comes with a rechargeable battery and USB C cord. It comes with 3 different sized scope adaptors and a little electrical tape to prevent scratching your scopes and to give you a few more millimeters of tolerance to mount the adaptors. I used the both the middle and small adaptors depending on the size of my scopes. I also tried this with a red dot and illuminated reticle and I don't advise that, especially with magnification. It works OK on no or low magnification but scatters too much on anything greater than 3x power. Conclusion: I'm not so sure the weight and bulk are worth carrying around. If I was out plinking at night, I'd say this is fun but not something I'd want as a dedicated mount. I wish it had some other system of quick mounting. The adaptor will stay on the scope mounted to the rifle but there is a small tab you can depress and remove the powered part of this night vision. That may allow you to quickly swap it out but the adaptor will stay on the rifle scope. I just don't see much running around with this mounted in such a way because it isn't mounted on a rail and probably would get loose. But if I'm plinking from an Adirondack chair around a campfire, this will be a ton of fun. Oh and I thought about mounting it to my airsoft kit but I just don't play at night and if I'm working outside in daylight and moving into low lit buildings, I don't want to spend the time mounting or carrying it in the middle of all that action.

Overall not bad considering price point. Starting off, it came out of the box ready to use and undamaged. It is easy to use and intuitive. I like the features and it is easy to see through. It is easy to attach to a rail mount with the accessories it comes with. It also comes with covers on either end of the scope. You simply flip them and they automatically spring open. The crosshairs are easy to see and the magnification is simple and clear. The very left side nob is where you place the small battery. By rotating the left nob you can turn on or off the different color dot in the crosshairs. You can have red or green or non. By turning the nob you can adjust color and intensity. The right nob you can turn to adjust accuracy. I really like the feature where you can turn the nob unless you slightly pull it out from its compressed state. That mitigates any accidental turning of the nob. The top main nob on the scope you view through changes the magnification in and out. It is easy to use and works well. The sight picture has been clear so far and I have not had any issues. The only two issues I have is the dust covers on the scope come off easily and move constantly. The other thing is making it sit properly on the picatinny rail, takes patience and accuracy to insure it is seated in a correct position. Otherwise the scope crosshairs could be lopsided even if it was placed mostly correct. Overall I am very pleased with this. It has a lot of uses and for something entry level and affordable right off the gate what's not to like.

Using this for my s@w mp 9mm, great size for this compact gun I own. The plastic to this material seems to be flimsy but this still does its job.

Great product, comes with two extra screws & the key needed. They feel and look great, the only issue is mine came faded with a greenish tint. Other than that I’d give it 5 stars.
