1x High Powered Waterproof Night Vision Binoculars for Hunting, Bird Watching, Navigation or Simply Enjoying Nature for $49.95 each after repeated attempts to get a tracking number /ETA on product I recieved the  please wait 15 days generic response 3 times,signed by Joe but with the name Chris Oliver attached to the email.

Finally after repeated threats I recieved a pair of regular ,cheap shoddy  binoculars that I could not use. I emailed Hobbies Discount about the binoculars and I was told and I quote:

Thank you for your concern regarding the "night vision" feature on the binoculars.

 

This is a common misunderstanding as most people think of the green filtered "movie-style" night vision. However, this is not the night vision most binoculars under $500 are selling, which is that you can still see clearly in the night if there's light on the object. If you look into the darkness you are guaranteed to see darkness if that makes sense. It's not going to show objects in a heat-mapping visual either (another incorrect assumption that we get from watching movies). Just know that you have a really advanced pair of binoculars, I hope you enjoy them.


Sincerely,
Chris
