The first-generation, high-resolution night-vision unit features a magnification ratio of 1x, but offers the option of expanding to 4x or 8x. More significantly, the unit is extremely versatile: you can use it for hands-free activities such as fishing or paintball, as a compact monocular, or attach it to a camera for nighttime photography. And even though ATN outfitted the Viper with a heavy-coated glass lens, the company managed to keep the weight down to only 9 ounces.
The Viper fits around your head via a comfortable fabric strap, which includes both forehead and chin pads for security. The goggle itself, meanwhile, offers such features as a built-in IR illuminator, an automatic brightness control, an adjustable eyepiece, a manual focus system, and single-switch button operation. An excellent alternative to night-vision binoculars, the Viper is water-and dust-resistant and comes with a soft case.

ATN Viper Gen 1+ 1x Expandable Night Vision Goggle System

Customer feedback:

1. This is one of the best investments ive made in a while.
Perfect for airsoft, and for camping, and for hunting, and for everything involving darkness.
Not the best image, but for the price…… i didnt expect more than this.
It really is much better than i imagined….. installation was really easy.
This is perfect for my needs.

2. My son loves this product, he’s barely taken it off since we got it a month ago! We did notice that it gives slight tunnel vision, and he does regularly bump into walls, but as he’s only 2 1/2 that is to be expected!
These are great, I think everyone should have a pair, and then no one needs to be afraid of the dark! And we save on energy because we don’t need lights (as often) mind you, you go through a lot of batteries!!!
