Maybe we were onto something when we were kids. When I was a kid, I would have traded my own brother for a pair of night vision binoculars. Now that I’m an adult with magic adult powers (credit card), I’ve made my childhood dream come true. And it’s sick.
I went with these 4K Digital Night Vision Binoculars because, as much as my inner child wanted me to drop a rent payment on cool spy gadgets, my lame adult brain couldn’t justify it. But these ones are only $99.99 on sale (they’re normally $169.99), which is right in that sweet spot.
Why did you buy night vision binoculars?
Because they’re cool.
That’s really the only reason I needed. These ones can see in total darkness or in broad daylight, and they also do a few more things I never would have imagined as a child of the 90s.
First, these binoculars also lead a double life as a video recorder, so if you catch sight of anything interesting, you can snap a photo or make a video of it. I haven’t yet found Bigfoot, but I’m assuming I’ll be the one to do it now that I have these.
The zoom on these things is adjustable, so looking around kind of feels like a video game. You can magnify your view up to 8x, which gives you a range of over 1,000 feet. I’m trying to pull together a group for extreme hide and seek, and these are going to be key players.
And if it rains, it’s whatever. These binoculars are IP54 waterproof, which means they’re protected from dust and splashes. Heavy rain might be a problem, but I’m not really in the habit of standing in the middle of rainstorms.
Fully charged, the battery lasts for up to five hours. It charges with a normal USB-C cable, too.
Turns out, it’s not that hard to be the person I wanted to be as a child. It just takes some sick binoculars.
If you want to do the same, these 4K Night Vision Digital Binoculars are on sale now for $99.99.
