Product Review
The Yukon Advanced Optics 4x50 Night Vision Monocular has an impressive magnification and light-gathering ability is great for night-vision photography, game-spotting, and surveillance. A longer objective lens (50mm) than either the 2x24 base model or the 3x42, this monocular gives you 4x visual magnification with just starlight. It operates by amplifying existing light using an electro-optical system.
Its lenses have improved wavelength/contrast characteristics to help maximize light utilization. This scope does not require any artificial light source for quality viewing. However, an infrared illuminator has been added to enhance viewing in many applications. Yukons exclusive infrared lighting system provides the maximum possible infrared output, but allows the illuminator diode to pulse to protect the IR from burning out. This pulsing is invisible to the human eye, but it means that the illuminator can penetrate longer distances due to the quick energy bursts of the IR.
Its ergonomically-friendly body is rubber-armoured and comes with a padded corduroy carrying case, carrying strap and innovative lens cover. The entire unit is self-contained and can operate for up to 20 hours on a CR 123R battery at temperatures from -22 degrees F to 104 degrees F. Two 1/4" mounts allow it to be used for a head mount or as a riflescope. It can even be coupled with an exclusive rifle mount/laser system that brings it right to the top of the newest generation of compact night vision riflescopes.
