lidl night vision monocular

daithi55

hi just wondering if lidl are doing these anymore as when i was in sweden lately it would of been perfect for identifying the boar as you cant shoot them with a light
the range was at most 40 meters from the high towers
but tricky in low light to identify what your shooting at as in male or female size etc

also anyone have an idea of the model number or price range of them

Ye they are actually back next Monday at a much lower price!

daithi, I think that they are the same ones.
I tracked down an old thread and the previous ones were "Bresser" 5X zoom and had a ccd chip.The same as these.

Will definitely get a pair.

Are you back yet and will you be able to get a pair,if not PM me and I'll get an extra pair for you(I'm in Tipp too so I can't be too far from you)

I think it's slightly different - I only found your thread when looking for specs.

They are different (better zoom but narrower field of view) from a 2007 version that was e100.

I bought one of the last ones slightly different to that one. I think it's grand out to 150m it is only a gen 1 you can't expect much from them. i'm looking at getting a gen III soon mad money but you only live once.:D

andrew dickenson

may pick up a pair myself

anthonyos

does anyone know if its a wrong price ??sounds to good to be true

clivej

Priced now @€;129 which I'd say was the correct price to start with and was marked up wrong.

kylemore56

I doubt it, they are only to go on sale on Monday. I am going to run in and check 'just in case' - but not expecting to get them so cheap!

cookimonster

Worse still, new catalogue price is €139.99 now.

mightyabhabelle

ok now the price is settled.. did anyone buy these and are they any good for the money. In terms of comparsion and maybe a few bucks extra what else would you recommend..

thanks M

Just wondering did anyone get one and how they are working. Can ya make out what animal your looking at say 60-70 Mtr away.

I have one and for what you pay for them they're not too bad, think of something between the old camcorder nightvision and a proper good first generation job. On a mild night you'll get about 80 to 120 yards with a relatively good image.

On a cold frosty night on the other hand you may just as well be looking through a jack roll tube. But than again, for €140 you're not going to get the same quality as a military grade Gen I weapon sight.

Thanks Stevie I know I could of just bought one myself and found out but I'd have to kinda go outa my way to gat to a lidl store. I'll hopefully pick one up tomorrow if their still available and have something to post about later in the week

I got one today from Lidl Stillorgan - last one in the office they told me.

For the price it's decent enough.

I had mistakenly thought it was a gen1 light intensifier - it's actually a ccd sensitive sensor that amplifies the surrounding light/ir light.

alderdeer

Bummer it. Rang earlier and they told me they've been taken off the shelves to be released at a later date

Lads I have one if anyone wants it. Im in Dublin. Its the newer one with the white screen. I have the older one with the green screen and thought I lost it so bought the new one last year. I used it once and put it away because I thought it was **** really. One thing to bear in mind is that theres a lot of fiddeling around to get it focused and your left half blinded when you take your eyes away from it. It would be worth looking to get one of the older ones if you could. I could easily scan a very large area, focus quickly, and easily identify anything with them.
No offer refused:D

moby30

GONE.
Thanks
