The attached video is one we shot in full-moon light using the unit. It performed well in full-moon light. The digital zoom is not sharp, but that is to be expected. Digital zoom is never sharp. The images were quite sharp when not zoomed. The elephants in the video vary from 80 to 120 meters distance from our location.
The battery life was excellent. I went through four batteries in the 12-hour period that we used it. So, we got about 3 hours out of each battery.
The unit is small and very light weight. It would easily be mounted to a visor or helmet for hands-free operation.
I also used a thermal camera during the same period, so to compare the two, this unit provided a good video quality with some color while the thermal unit provided a much sharper determination of animals. The thermal unit was far superior at finding animals, down to the size of small springhares (about the size of smallish rabbit) and up to the size of giraffe and elephant, while this unit was less capable of spotting animals, it was far better at showing their true colors when we were looking for stripes or markings to determine species or genders.
Changing batteries was difficult. The need to remove the subjective eyepiece to access the battery is challenging to say the least.
Novice user were immediately able to use the device with very little instruction. Simply turn the dial and look through the lens.
Overall, I would give this unit very high marks for the price. I have used military-grade units that did not perform as well. Be aware that if there is no moon light, this unit will perform much better with an infrared light source. I highly recommend this unit and would use it with an external infrared light.
