Yukon's durable, lightweight, compact NVMT Night Vision Multitask line is as versatile as night vision comes. With the use of accessories, the palm-sized, water-resistant, plastic body encased in rubber armor, can change from a hand held monocular to riflescope to a head mountable view to a photo and video component. Also, Yukon's exclusive PULS System Infrared (IR) Illuminator minimizes batter drainage and increases range.
Customer Rating: Summary: Cheap Comment: This is a poorly constructed piece of equipment. Having just returned home from Iraq, I think my expectations were too high for this product. It focuses poorly, the IR feature does not work that well. I would tell anybody looking for something like this to spend the extra money and get a better one. I wish somebody had told me that. Ive got a very costly paperweight now. Customer Rating: Summary: Works great Comment: This night vision monocular works great. We are able to see all the wildlife that visits at night. Customer Rating: Summary: Yukon Comment: Like the others night vision Monoculars is killing battery very fast.
Quite poor vision without infra-red light on. Customer Rating: Summary: Great product for long range viewing. Comment: Great product, feels very durable. Excellent long range night vision viewing. Not good for short range. The only trouble I had was you are constantly focusing the lens depending on distance, which can be a real pain when you are in a hurry to see something.
Customer Rating: Summary: Seeing is believing. I look forward to it. Comment: I bought my Yukon NVMT with the specific intention of watching deer during the hours of darkness and to give me advance warning of wandering red deer stags during the autumn rut and people with dogs. The unit is light and portable and I got a camera fitting and a smaller objective (2x24) for extra functionality. However it has so far proved something of a disappointment in the field - and has consistently failed to out-perform a pair of Meade 10x50 binoculars from way down the price scale in low-light conditions. This may be because I have pretty good night vision myself and have yet to try the NVMT in total darkness or whiteout mist. Or it may be because I have been sold a duff one (just in case anyone from Yukon is reading this!) Certainly I have found it difficult to spot a fallow deer with it which I could pick out the outline of in near-darkness with the naked eye. It is also a pig to focus, especially with respect to adjusting the main lens. The unit operates in lowlight with out being switched on. Switched on it can see 40-50 yards in dim light. In very low light the infra-red source makes for a much brighter image over 15-20 yards. A real downside of the infra-red is that when you use it in woodland it reflects back off the trees so if you are scanning you get an alternate series of dark and bright vertical bands but presumably that must apply to all infra red devices! On the upside you can spot deer hidden in undergrowth because their tapeta lucida reflects the IR. Overall my view is that it still has potential but it has yet to prove itself. That will happen when I reach for it in preference to the binoculars.
