Eyeclops Night Vision Gear - Kids Love To Play In The Dark With Night Vision Goggles

By Ledley Withenshaw

Once kids lose their fear of the dark, it seems they can't get enough of playing out late at night, playing games like hide and seek or other such games. It must seem like a whole new world to discover to new eyes, and in reality it is. All kinds of critters venture out at night when the world is in darkness and do quirky (like tipping the garbage over !). However the main drawback of playing at night and in the dark is that the eyes aren't up to it. We have very limited vision in the dark, which obviously hinders night time play quite dramatically. Well now that could all be a thing of the past with the new Stealth goggles and binoculars.

Stealth goggles, referred to as version 1 and stealth binoculars, known as version 2 go by the name EyeClops Night Vision Infrared Stealth Goggles and are made by Jakks. They are made for children 8 and up for playing games at night time or in the dark.

They use the same technology as the proper night vision gear you might expect the military to use - namely infrared frequency light to illuminate the night. This produces a fairly good picture of what is going on around you, in green or black and white images.

The goggles are referred to as stealth because there are two modes. The first mode is the stealth mode that allows totally covert operations. This means that the goggles give off no visible light or sound to give the wearer way.

The 2nd mode, called the surveillance mode, affords a longer range, (apparently 50 feet at the upper limits) but it gives off a red light. If you are well concealed this might not be noticeable but it is obviously not as stealthy as the first mode.

Version 1 is a proper set of goggles that strap around the head. They are comfortable and fit the face snugly. The goggles have a soft rubber front that molds to the shape of the persons face so that no light can escape out. There are also caps on the eyeholes so that you can flip them up or down based on if you want to use the infrared vision or your normal eyes. This means you never have to take off the goggles unless you want to.

The binoculars allow more flexibility such that you can flick between infrared and normal vision just by dropping the binoculars, however, you have to use your hands to operate them which could be limiting for some people. This could steer people away from the binoculars if they want completely hands free night vision capabilities.

Both make fun toys however they do take a bit of getting used to and you can't run around whilst using them. If goggles don't sound like you, then how about some stealth night vision binoculars instead. - 30443
