Night Owl iGen Day/Night 3x Monocular

I received this item on Monday October 13. I had previously purchased and returned a different manufacturer's night vision device that was inexpensive and worked poorly. The iGen is new technology in that it is basically a low light video camera (without recording) instead of a phosphorous tube. I tried this device last night in the backyard with a full moon. It worked great. I was able to see into very dark corners of the yard (approximately 50 ft) by using either the infrared lighting or by simply slowing down the frame rate to 10-12 FPS. These corners were so dark I could not see any detail with the naked eye. I was also able to clearly see activity about 200 yards down a street that has very little street lighting, again by slowing down the frame rate to around 20 FPS. It will be interesting to see how it works when I have it with me hunting next week and there will be a new moon. The menus and controls are very easy to use and very intuitive.
