Is there a way for someone to take a pic through the monocular and post it so we can see (to the best of the internets ability) what the view looks like?

I may be thinking of the Gen 1 scopes that were around a grand.

Can yours be mounted and used as a scope Jim?

This unit is not intended to be gun mounted but does have a screw hole for typical tripod mounting.
I don't know how well it will allow me to take a picture through the eye piece.

I ment to try using it and seeing how the green lazar I have interacted.

J- I think it would probably be "difficult". Maybe a 1/2 a roll of camo duct tape and you could line em up.

Here is a decent summary of the unit:

Not really but the base line prices for scope type night vision was cheaper than I expected roughly starting at just under $300.00

Hell. You can even find reburbished; generation II for $360 scope gun mounts.

I held the unit up to my phone. 8:30pm, heavy cloud cover.
Using the IR light about 60-70 yards. The stump is 30 yards. The pine at 60.

I had a chance to play with some of the newest white phosphorus ones on my govt camping trip...they blow the green ones away. But at a 10k+ price tag i would hope so.

For a moment there I though you had dummy cord on that M9. I was about to Crack on you so hard.

And if I hold my green lazier on a tree 70 yards away and look for the dot with the unit, it does show very well as a white dot.
