Customer Reviews:* I just received my NOXM50 today. I did a lot of research and read many reviews before deciding on this device. I found the reviews to be spot-on! This little NV is awesome! I've been around NV for many years and have played with some really high units and some cheap ones. The technology has really improved for Gen 1. I am amazed in this $200 Gen 1 unit by Night Owl. The best unit I have ever played with was a $12,000 US Military Gen 3 unit 15 years ago. This NOXM50 is nearly as good as that one was! Tonight there is no moon. There is some urban lighting. I could see all the way across the local lake...which is well over 500 yards!!! You can't count fingers, but you could see a boat and possibly the number of people in it. You can read a business card at 20' in total darkness. My Sgt has a Gen 1 set of binoc's that do not come close to this unit. I can't complain about the width of view or lack of auto focus because of the price. You will not beat the clarity/distance for $200! * The more I use it the more I like it for night time viewing. Suggestion on taping the eyepiece after making required adjustment was good idea. Other wise eyepiece has tendency to move out of adjustment which can cause focusing frustration. Once eyepiece is focused as instructed. The only thing left to do is focus the large lens as necessary. Night vision works great when in proper focus.Can see things around lake area 1 to 2 hundred yards away with fairly good clarity.
