Hi All, Any thoughts on Night Vision electronics? Any one own any brands that are specifically good or bad? Any one ever use them in a "do or die" situation or are then all bought as toys? Any advice for or against purchasing? I picked up a cheap Gen I unit from Harbor Freight - can't beat $89.00 to try out a fantasy. It is a "Zenit" and seems to work acceptably. Appears to be Russian military surplus (or a knockoff). It is not waterproof and uses a 9 volt battery (remember transistor radios on the beach) for power and the infrared auxiliary light. Documentation is very light so I'm hoping to get some ideas on how to make the best of these units. If it proves useful I'll think about upgrading at a later date. My friend with the big sportfisher has a very expensive Gen lll unit but unfortunately he never takes his boat out at night anymore. I have never had a chance to use it so I have no idea what I'm missing. I'm wondering how many more of these expensive toys just sit around and collect dust? Al Johnson 34' Marine Trader "Angelina"
