how well can u use a scope with night vision?

Q. Say i have night vision goggles. Can i look through a non night vision rifle scope with my goggles on and see a magnified image in night vision?

Ive seen it happen with video cameras. a guy put his night vision over his video camera and recorded in night vision. however he was in the military and was using high quality night vision.

Also what generation would you suggest for hunting? 1? 2?
i can only really afford 1 or 2.

A. Yes it has been done but remember a camera especially newer digital ones have a wider spectrum of vision than the naked eye and if you are serious about hunting or using a rifle in the dark you really should consider using a proper night vision scope.
If you try to improvise by using night goggles with an existing scope at night you run into all sorts of issues, judging distances inaccurately being one of them which in turn could be a hindrance on your personal safety not to mention others.

Make sure you use the correct tool for the job it just makes sense that way. There are many manufacturers that make night vision hunting scopes in all prices ranges.

ATN, Tasco, Bushnell, Yukon and Nightowl are all worth checking out.

Good Luck


NV Video camera question about SD cards - How many hours will an 8G SD card record in Night Vision?
Q. I recently purchased a Bell & Howell Night Vision video camera. I also purchased two 8G SD cards. Does anyone know how many hours of recording they will hold? Thank you!

A. Is it the DNV900HD camera? Knowing the exact model would have made it easier to look up the specifications. The Product Description section for this model on Amazon.com indicates that with the maximum amount of memory installed (2x32GB or 64GB of memory) the camera can record "more than 20 hours" of video. You have 1/4 of that amount (16GB), so I expect that you can record at least five hours.

The night vision capability should not make any difference in how much space is needed to record video, but look for settings to change the resolution: lower settings will use less space. I could not find a manual online, but if you have the user's Guide, it may contain information about storage requirements at different settings.


Does the flip video camera record well in the dark?
Q. If i were to record a video at night in the dark outside would it show up with the flip video camera?

I want the new slideHD

also would it be a good idea to buy a flip ?
is it decent quality ?

A. nahhh not really, i bought a flip mino hd and it is really handy and stuff but i noticed the camera shakiness is terrible but over all it is prty descent but u might wana do some research on the kodak zi8, because its 1080p and it has an external mic pluggin, wich is really really handy, im thinking about selling my flip and getting one of those so i would get a kodak zi8 but thats just my opinion/
