Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

ORDERED = 10/25/2016 || SELLER = Solomark Optics || PAID = $150.99 (Beware of Seller changes! That's when you may get burned!) :: PROS :: 1.) Does a good job for the money, feels fairly solid overall. - The budget was not flexible enough for Gen 3 load-outs. 2.) It has been in use for a week, so far so good. It gets installed/removed daily into a vehicle steady-mount. 3.) GEN 1 Unit - has lot of sensitivity if used right. (Foreground objects disrupt background sensitivity if illuminated.) 4.) Illuminator works out to 100 meters no problem - My video shows that. 5.) Works great with rechargeable AA's - Few hours of video easily. (Keeps the operation costs very low & battery storage simple.) :: CONS :: 1.) Camera mode is not very useful - it's OK, but you won't use it much. 2.) The 1GB Micro SD it comes with is TERRIBLE - Only 12Mbps on my 100Mbps USB 3.0 Hub? 3.) Had to buy SanDisk Ultra 32GB microSDHC UHS-I Card with Adapter, Grey/Red, Standard Packaging (SDSQUNC-032G-GN6MA) = Almost 10x faster then the 1GB provided...using on a true USB 3.0 HUB. 4.) Sensor CAP is not secured to unit very well - EASY to loose the cap & that would be BAD! OVERALL :: Despite all the CONS - it is for sure worth the $150.00 we paid. MY 2 TACTICAL OPTIONS FOR 300+ METERS...(This unit will pickup the light, but the magnification will max out at that range either way.) ON A BUDGET >> Evolva Future Technology T20 IR 38mm Lens Infrared Light Night Vision Flashlight Torch (Torch+Battery+Charger+Pressure Switch+Scope Mount) NEED MAXIMUM ILLUMINATION >> Evolva Future Technology Lens Infrared Flashlight IR T67 67mm Night Vision Torch Light - Infrared Light is Invisible to Human Eyes (Torch+Battery+Charger+Pressure Switch) <<< This is what I use for FLOOD & SPOT options...works great with this unit! FOR OUR TESTING = Purchased ilauke IR Lamp 850nm Zoomable 5W Infrared Flashlight Night Vision Hunting Torch to gauge the units SENSITIVITY, not extending illumination range.
