Prowl 2 Night Vision Goggles, Infrared Night Vision Monocular, Wide Angle Lenses, Up to 105° FOV, Covert 940nm IR, 32GB SD Card, IP65 Waterproof, Head & Helmet Mounted Digital NVG for Airsoft

Easy to use and great for an IR laser. Remember you won't be able to see through glass, but works great outside. It was a little difficult to put on a NVG mount I bought (probably user error or didn't get the exact right one) but got it to work.

After using the Nightfox Prowl 2 for over two weeks between diving into the settings menu, walking around the yard, and even training I can say that this monocular was a solid purchase for the price in my honest opinion. Is it analog? Absolutely Not. Will you need some sort of IR illuminator via helmet mounted or weapon mounted? Possibly, depending on what you aim to do with this monocular. More importantly, will you be able to see and navigate reliably and safely across your own terrain? In my opinion, Yes. This is what I found, in my opinion, that was solid and what could be upgraded in newer models.PROS:Includes two extra lenses (3 total) which include a 40 something degree lens, 70 degree wide view lens, and 105 degree fish eye lens60 hz refresh/60 fps screen for smoother, and more natural movement for digital night visionFlexible IR settings via Settings menu: can utilize 850nm only, 940nm only, use both (Auto mode) or turn off IR completely for helmet or weapon mounted IR Devices such as illuminators, lasers, etc.Auto IR function removes guesswork between indoor and outdoor use.Prowl 2 can still be used while charging via USB Power Bank which extends battery life run time and solves helmet counterweight issue (two birds, one stone type deal)The Eyecup is removable so if you prefer it off just remove it, or leave it onSensitivity and backlight settings (ability to control brightness/Intensity) are a nice touch and very usable/user friendlyThe overall weight isn't bad for the size of the prowl 2 and I run mine helmet mounted on a bump helmet. however, a counterweight of some sort will still be needed when running the prowl 2 helmet mounted.Ease of movement/use/familiarization with the prowl 2 is quick and easyOffers true 1x magnification and up to 3x zoom4 different color modes including white phosphor, black and white, green phosphor, and inverted green.Works well indoors with ambient light with IR set to 0Passive aiming indoors is definitely usable (not perfect, not analog, but works for me and my setup/needs)Effective to at least 50 yards at 1x in my opinionProduces quality images for digital night vision when doing scouting/surveillance type workThe Nightfox Helmet mount that's sold separately is plug and play, and the prowl 2 comes with the hardware needed to attach to G24 style helmet mountsBuilt in Recording/32 GB sd card is also a nice touchCONS720 p resolution becomes noticeable under zoomIR reflection can wash out illuminated optics in low light conditions against reflective surfaces ( ordering a helmet mounted flood light and will test/update passive aiming issues after testing external IR solution versus integrated IR) This could be possibly fixed by a better sensor in newer models, but I'm not a night vision expert by any means, just an average joe.The body size does feel bulky mainly when aiming ( if all you run is a red dot sight this may not be the case, but i also run an lpvo with a red dot piggy backed and noticed the body of the monocular tends to land on top of the lpvo or hover right above it, within mm's)As stated before, passive aiming will more than likely work better with an external source (will test and verify)Auto Gain feature can become somewhat aggressive in very low light conditionsHigher sensitivity levels introduce more grain, especially when zoomed inLatency becomes more noticeable with faster head movements ( not unusable, but noticeable)With all that out of the way I would definitely say I'm pleased with my purchase. I purchased this unit for perimeter security around the house and clearing out structures that our located on our property (pole barn and shop). When I purchased this unit I DID NOT expect it to perform like an analog unit. It is digital night vision, it is way cheaper than analog, and it does have its limitations. However, while this may have its limitations compared to analog night vision, if you are willing to adapt with realistic expectations of what the prowl 2 can do, you will find that it is great for surveying, patrolling, etc. and can still be used for structure clearing as a slower and smoother pace. The only other experience I've personally had with night vision was during my time I served in the ARMY when we used it a handful of times during field exercises (I believe they were pvs 7's but could be wrong, 2 eyepieces that bridged into 1 tube) so I'm no means a night vision expert, nor claim to be. For this being my first experience with digital night vision, for the price, usability, and overall experience this monocular definitely met my needs. I had to adapt to and learn the monocular, but I was willing to do so. Passive aiming does work on this unit with ambient light at IR level 0 and will pick up red dots indoors, but outdoors, especially low light conditions and reflective surfaces at IR level 0 you may need an external illuminator thats head or helmet mounted for your setup depending on what optics you run. I run a red dot thats piggybacked to a 1x4 lpvo with the red dot for close up engagements, and the lpvo for mid range engagements, but passive aiming bloom may not be as bad depending upon different setups. All in all, I'm pleased with my purchase and don't feel I was ripped off or anything like that. This unit has worked well for me so far and I will update my review after testing external IR sources for passive aiming outdoors. I would recommend this product to anyone who enjoys nature walks and stargazing to anyone who is looking to use this monocular for perimeter security/ surveillance work, and structure clearing who doesn't want to spend thousands on analog night vision. As much as I'd love a PVS14 to just magically fall in my lap so i could use it, I dont have analog night vision money lol. Anyway, I hope this helps anyone looking for honest feedback about this product. Thanks and have a blessed day Y'all.

This is awesome! After much research and lengthy chats with AI I think I made the correct purchase over the Nightfox Swift 2 Pro. I love everything about it, especially the multiple color filters and different lens attachments. Now I can fish in the dark and stroll through the wooded trails back to my car in pitch blackness. Even the head strap fits nice and securely after some fine tuning and a tight fitting beanie underneath. I was also able to easily mount this to a cheapo airsoft helmet I picked up on sale for the full experience. The only "cons" is the device takes a long time to fully charge, and, depending on IR/Sensitivity/Backlit settings, you can end up draining the battery fairly quickly. Luckily even on the lowest settings you can still see things in the dark pretty clearly.

Definitely got to get used to them, great for airsoft includes various mounting options, with great adjustment options. I’d say they’re worth the price if not more! Pretty sturdy a tad hefty. The battery life is sufficient and it comes with a bent cable to make it easy to charge with an extra charger on the back of a helmet or head mount if you don’t mind the extra weight.

As luck would have it, my father needed something down the road at the farm- coyotes were coming onto the property, so I gave him the only known working Prowl 1, I had after several back and forth returns with the main shop in the UK. I've been a Prowl user before the first firmware came out. Fine I told my dad, I gave him my own working Prowl. Besides, after the numerous goodnite llama style reviews on Youtube said the Prowl 2 was good - so I would just pick up one of those. So I listened to the midnight llama and got a Prowl 2 - maybe this time, the guys and girls got it right the first time out of the box. I ordered and it arrived today. Looked good, charged it up and put it together. When it got around dusk, turned it on – funny, it’s out of focus, ok, I just need to set the diopter. Stated, I never could get the menu in focus, no matter how much I adjusted the diopter.Even when I did get the device in some semblance of focus, the menu stayed out of focus - this was -never- an issue with the older Prowl - yeah, the resolution wasn't that great on the Prowl 1, however, the menu was readable and crisp once the diopter was adjusted - I would just readjust the back diopter and focus ring when done. This made it a great, cheap device to simply get stuff done around the farm and in the country. The Prowl 1, once the firmware was worked out (I actually was a person that got two Prowl 1’s that bricked on a bad firmware release), it was finally OK, it did it’s job Was it great? No, but like an NVG30, it had reached a working status, however, unlike an NVG30, the Prowl 2 does not have a good square viewer – it’s literally a box-o-view. The Prowl 2 is two steps forward and one step back – they almost had it, but the very real focus / diopter issue hurts this unit for people that don’t want to wear bifocals/glasses just to see an image. The box-o-view I could deal with, the fuzziness no matter what adjustment, is a deal breaker.Also, the other issue was the weight - the good thing about the Prowl 1, was it was an OK weight and a decent form. The head harness wasn't great, but it didn't slide off the head. Plus, it saved me from having to put on my helmet with my Gen 3’s. Not so with the Prowl 2 – the new harness feel’s cheap and the Prowl 2 just slides off the head. One of my now greatest regrets (well currently) was giving up my only working Prowl 1. I’ve given out so many Prowl 1’s over the past two years to other farm friends; they like them (course I never told them how many Prowls 1’s I had to return to get those that were working right). I get what they are trying to do with the Prowl 2 (and building it to match the Arctic Fox thermal), but I would be fine with not having two different lenses if they simply kept the old body, weight and simply upgraded the electronics. THAT would have been the most ideal Prowl. This isn’t ideal – I get who they are trying to target with this product, however, they simply and completely ignored the folks who actually use these as working devices – not just the crowd that may use these on an airsoft weekend, or for Youtube videos or just for some type of LARP. They seemed to have utterly ignored the very large group of paying people, the folks that had more time with these units and those, like me, that sent in all those suggestions to the company over the past few years. I don’t have a Youtube channel out there to sell you something, so I won’t, but they really dropped the ball on this unit – and the regrettable part is, they shouldn’t have. They knew exactly what needed to be fixed engineering wise, they just went too far and forgot what made the original Prowl, a working piece of hardware (and a piece of art).

It is a good cheap nvg but you'll be using the IR illuminator a lots. If you like to just survey and nature watch, it might be a good option but for airsoft, other player with nvg will see you like a sore thumb once you use the IR light.

My son has decided to use this to cheat at hide and seek at night with his friend lol. Works great!

Video reviews made this out to be good as a scanning rig for night hunting. Setup on my helmet it was heavy, but worse yet, I could only see about 30 yards. This may be ok for those defending their home or just night observing, but not coyote hunting. Even with an external IR illuminator that shines 400+ yards this was only effective to about 45

Sorprendente, un rapporto qualità prezzo interessante.Migliore delle più rosee aspettative.

Ich habe das Nightfox Prowl 2 jetzt bei einem Airsoft-Spiel eingesetzt und bin insgesamt wirklich zufrieden. Die Bildqualität ist für ein digitales Nachtsichtgerät sehr gut. Bei Mondlicht ist die Sicht überraschend gut und man kann sich im Gelände problemlos orientieren.Im Wald wird es allerdings bei kompletter Dunkelheit und ausschließlich mit IR deutlich schwieriger. Die Reichweite und Sicht sind dann sehr begrenzt (ca. 25m). Außerdem sollte man bedenken, dass der IR-Strahler für andere Nachtsichtgeräte sehr deutlich sichtbar ist. Wer mit einem echten Röhren-NVG mit Phosphor unterwegs ist, dürfte einen aktiven IR-Strahler entsprechend sehr deutlich wahrnehmen.Die Verarbeitung und Qualität des Prowl 2 haben mich dagegen überzeugt. Für Airsoft finde ich es insgesamt brauchbar, insbesondere wenn etwas Restlicht vorhanden ist.Ein kleiner Kritikpunkt bei der Nutzung am Helm: Ich nutze einen FAST-Helm mit Begadi-Schutzbrille. In dieser Kombination sitzt das Gerät bei mir nicht optimal an der Brille an, sodass ich das Augengummi abnehmen musste. Für eine Helmmontage sollte man daher vorher prüfen, ob die eigene Brille bzw. das Setup mit dem Gerät harmoniert.Fazit: Für Airsoft bei Mondlicht wirklich stark, gute Bildqualität und hochwertige Verarbeitung. Bei komplett dunklem Wald mit IR sollte man keine Wunder erwarten, liest sich in der Beschreibung viel schöner 😂 – 2* und der eigene IR-Strahler macht einen für andere NVG-Nutzer ziemlich gut sichtbar.Für Airsoft eine klare Empfehlung, wenn man die genannten Einschränkungen kennt.Für Homedefence nicht geeignet.

Bueno para uso recreativo no profesional, cansa al ser monocular digital al caminar de noche.

Very good NVG. Well made and works well in night time viewing.

Ha superato di gran lunga le mie aspettative
