Default Anybody Ever Use Eyeclops Night Vision Goggle for MD'ing?

I was looking at some night vision goggles on eBay and noticed that Eyeclops are popular and fairly inexpensive (they are built for kids). Anybody ever use them for MD'ing?

Or any other NVG brand feedback is appreciated.

-Mark

Haven't before but I like the idea...
Don't know if I'd go with the kids ones though..my son has owned 2 pairs and both weren't really night vision. Basically they just had little lights on the sides. Not really night vision but rather more a toy.

Ive been thinking of trying that myself. My nephew has those and he say it works good. They are made for kids but from what I read they are almost as good as the real thing.

That's wicked! It's worth the $149 just for the goggles!!!! I'm not a gamer, but I'm thinking of buying it, then reselling the game on eBay.

Yeah sounds good. They look pretty good and I have heard they work pretty good also. I Play COD4 so I already have mine reserved. I will let you know how they work if you don't get it right away.

There are some good NV scopes in Cabela's catalog. None are close to the real current technology though. For years I was in business making NV compatible lighting for military aircraft and was privileged to use the latest generation scopes to test/demo/prove our lighting capabilities. The hi-tech scopes are awesome. RickO
