These are the nightvision binoculars you would see in those military movies. It is definitely a bit more hands free. I use these for my night camping trips. For what I need it for, it actually works pretty well. I definitely would not call this military grade but they work for what I need. It works for my eyes but they are on the smaller side. It may not fit everyone's eye spacing. It works during the day or night which is great although this is more so for night vision purposes. It is nice that you can just pop these down and see through them without having to hold them up. These binoculars are still on the heavy side but lighter than the bigger heavy duty ones. It has a nice carrying case so you can store these and take them on the go. There is also a 32 gb micro sd card with card reader. The card reader is nice as you could plug this directly into your phone to transfer the video/photos from the memory card while you are out and about. This one does have silicone grip on the side but the rest of hard plastic which makes the binoculars are very sturdy. The lens are not super thin so you do not have to worry about breaking them and it gives a good magnification. The buttons do take some getting used in terms of what button does what. It is easy to learn though just takes time for muscle memory. It does have a neck straps to you want to put this over your neck instead rather than the head band. This is definitely be the device I would recommend for someone with arthritis pain as they will not have to hold the device. The device and buttons feel pretty solid. I was able to learn the button comes and get used to them pretty quickly. The head band is not a solid plastic piece. It is just bands that are adjustable. It is nice to hold up. I do like the fact they have a recording function although you will need to use a micro SD card to store it on there. It can handle my 128 gb micro SD card. As stated before, it does have a 32 gb car which I verified is the correct memory size. The memory card is not the fastest on the market but it works. One thing to note about these is that the lens are not the same on both sizes. One side is deeper than the other but that is because it has different functions to enhance your experience. It does give you a clearer image than your usual binoculars and the night vision is pretty on point. When working with night vision, be careful not to point this at any kind of light when the night vision is on as it is pretty blinding. I do like the fact that you do a wider viewer so you are able to see through these a bit easier without having to put your eyes SUPER close to the screen. The controls for taking pictures are easy to access. I really love the image quality. Overall this is a really good device to have if you want a bit more hands free and a little like military look to your night vision. This one has a less magnification then bigger ones but it gives you similar options to use during the day or night. The camera is solid (although not the best) and this is a very durable device. It does take time to get used to how the controls work so take your time. The photo quality is amazing and stores pretty quickly to my micro sd card. The carrying case is nice and plenty of room to store stuff in it. It also has a similar card reader although not the fastest it works and it makes it easier to connect to your phone to transfer pictures.
