VISUAL ASPECTS

A rare feature in most affordable night vision binoculars, the Firefield Tracker Night Vision Goggle Binoculars has Dual Diopter Adjustment that allows you to calibrate each barrel of the binocular to your vision which is especially useful to those who have different eyesights between their left and right eye. While you can use your glasses while using the binocular, you can also remove your glasses and adjust the diopter settings to your vision. If no one else is using your binocular, the Dual Diopter Adjustment set up is going to be just a one-time thing. Otherwise, setting it up is pretty easy. This feature is basically very useful as it allows for some flexibility in adjusting to different eye sights and eye conditions such as near and farsightedness.

While ordinary night vision binoculars could only see when the moon is bright, in low-light conditions, or in levels of light approaching total darkness; this binocular allows you to see in complete darkness because of its Built-in Infrared Illuminator. This feature emits infrared light in the complete darkness to produce a clearer image. This light is invisible so you'll be able to see clearly in complete darkness without getting your location detected. This makes ideal for use in the jungle, forest or any remote area where night is absolutely dark.

IR illuminator:

- This feature is not battery draining.
- Although it can be turned off if you want to save even more energy.
- Small red indicator light (Let's you know if it's turned on)
