thought this looked like very good value for a bressner!

I bought the night vision last time it was out in Lidl. I do alot of lamping on foot and prefer not to use torches when walking about. Cant recommend this night vision highly enough. It does the job of a piece of equipment 5 or 6 times the price. The only issue I had with it was I left the battery in and didnt use it for a few weeks over the summer and it died out but this was my fault. Its also fairly handy on batteries. My local chemist sells them in a pack of 2 for €5 and they last me a long long time.

I think bressner itself is just a great brand. Bought a pair of binoculars in lidl . they were 10x50 and cost me €15 . have to say they are the best pair of binoculars I ever owned.

+1 on the binoculars. I can't speak for the NV stuff but from my experience they do pretty reasonable optics for SFA money. And in all fairness, for the price you can't complain.

I bought that spotting scope the last time they had them.

Great value for the money.

Very clear optics, not blurry and goes up to 60X.

The tripod is fairly basic but it works. I usually use a larger tripod I have for the camera.

Couldn't fault the scope for the price.

I give the spotting scope a go at that price.
like J.R say, tripod from the camera will make it a lot more usable.

The Mother got the nightvision for me last Christmas. I take it lamping and use it for lamp shy foxes... its good to 100 yards and you'll see their eyes 300 yards away. A bit fidelly but once you get used to it its class!

LB has 2 spotting scopes, one that was got in lidl and an expensive one. Had them both on the range watching her shoot and tbh I prefered the lidl one, seemed cleared to look through for me.

anyone with the spotter scope ,what would you compare the quality of image to i only have a zos scope 10x40 and its about the same zoom at 60 as my zos scope is at 40 and the zos is much clearer at max magnification but zos is a piece of sh1t.i never looked through a quality scope anyone who has a good quality scope how does it compare with the lidl spotter scope

got the NV lens yesterday.
seems very good can see clearly in complete darkness

but one question to anyone who has one...
it says the display is "creating an enlarged visible image in a monochrome green"
but mine is in grayscale black & white. is this normal or should i bring it back?????

Brno,
I don't mean to sound like an optics snob, however when it comes to glass, you need money, when it comes to night vision, you need lot's of money.

I went to a shop in the States to suss out some night vision gear. I purposely did not look at prices, only the functionality I wanted. The only kit I considered started around $2500. Needless to say, I didn't buy.

I did receive some head gear as a Christmas gift once. It was around $350 and was a total piece of junk. I didn't want the person feeling bad so I used it- still got migraines - not sure if it was from her or the awful optics!;)

I have tried many night vision monoculars out, the coolest thing they saw was my remote control flashing the TV.

kenneths

it actually was grand to view stuff with i can definetly make fence posts etc at 100 yds but i use a friends one before i bought this and the green seem to highlight stuff better.

might bring it back and see if they have one with green display.

mine is in black and white too... i dont think theres a choice. their pretty good for the price but no one is expecting miracles at that kind of money.

lidl had the bresser nightvision back in stock, Bought one yesterday, cant see anything only a white screen, what am I doing wrong?
