Product Description
Newly updated variant of the Yukon 5x42 Ranger Digital Night Vision Monocular.
Now features an upgraded Sony CCD for improved imaging. Coupled with the addition of a variable gain control dial (brightness/contrast control), this offers noticeable performance advantages over the previous model.
Because the unit uses a CCD with the image viewed on a built-in LCD screen, the unit cannot be damaged by bright light sources. Variable gain contol allows you to adjust the image based on an individual scenes lighting level.
The built-in high power Infrared Illuminator - the right-hand lens of the device - is covert (invisible to the human eye at approx. 940nm) and throws a beam out to over 100m. In ultra low light levels this provides the unit with its own light source. The power output of the illuminator is also controllable offering maximum flexibility in image brightness/contrast.
The unit offers true 5x optical image magnification through the left hand lens of the device. Currently competitive products can only achieve higher magnifications through digital magnification which means a loss of resolution.
A Video Out facility (lead included) means that the unit can be linked to a recording device such as a DVD Recorder/Video Recorder /Camcorder or alternatively to a monitor.
Running on 6 x AA sized batteries, the unit is supplied with two battery cradles (for quick battery change), a 12V car adaptor and a UK mains lead. The unit will happily accept the latest NiMH rechargeable batteries (2700mAh) - in fact, these are the recommended power source when out in the field.
A screw thread is built-in to the base allowing attachment to a tripod.

a multiple purpose night scope
By tim
It does what the product description says.Basically it's is a very sensitive black and white camera, and the image appears on a small screen, which is visible through the eye piece.Unfortuneately you cannot reduce the magnification- when you would like a wider field of view - unlike a digital camera- hopefully they will change this.The variable infrared is clever.But when using full Infrared- it does eat up the batteries rather quickly.But it is a good multipurpose unit- giving a quality picture 200m away in the dark.The variable screen brightness is an asset.Also being able to use 12volt and 240v-supplies- increases its versatility.What is a big plus compared with the non digital units -is having a video out, which means it can be attached to recorders and monitors.

Out one night bat hunting I became aware of some owls out and about . I hoped this device might help me to look at them . So far though I haven't mastered the art of the moving . Static objects or creatures can be well seen even at some distance . I think they will be ideal for bat emergence work and who knows I may yet achieve a greater mastery .
