Ideal for hunting, camping, boating, or surveillance, the ATN Viper expandable goggle system makes it easy to see in the dark while keeping your hands free for activities. The first-generation, high-resolution night-vision unit features a magnification ratio of 1x, but offers the option of expanding to 4x or 8x. More significantly, the unit is extremely versatile: you can use it for hands-free activities such as fishing or paintball, as a compact monocular, or attach it to a camera for nighttime photography. And even though ATN outfitted the Viper with a heavy-coated glass lens, the company managed to keep the weight down to only 9 ounces.
The Viper fits around your head via a comfortable fabric strap, which includes both forehead and chin pads for security. The goggle itself, meanwhile, offers such features as a built-in IR illuminator, an automatic brightness control, an adjustable eyepiece, a manual focus system, and single-switch button operation. An excellent alternative to night-vision binoculars, the Viper is water-and dust-resistant and comes with a soft case.

The product itself is a great idea. However, the IR light is very visible to anyone you may be looking at. Also, like with most Generation 1 models the depth perception is an issue as is the field of view. Hence, it doesn't work very well as a "goggle." The definition is better than many Gen-1 models. However, I've seen better light gathering capabilities (with/without IR) using a child's night vision toy for only 70 bucks (Jax night vision for kids). You may want to look at a generation two model instead of this one.

The headset was flimsy and gave me a headache. It was not the same headset as seen in the picture. Also, I hiked with it and could not see much of anything and the images were blurred. It was hard to tell the distance of things like trees and branches. It made the hike unenjoyable. Plus, I bought it for nighttime wildlife viewing, but it lights up at night, making it impossible to hide from wildlife in the dark.

You can see better with the naked eye in pitch black than with this device.
I am not sure what type of quality control ATN have, but it must be fairly low standards if this is the type of devices they are manufacturing.
A dog in a dark night is visible from say 10 -20 yards with the naked eye, but use this ATN Viper and all you see is a blur. It couldn't even really define a huge tree from less than 30 yards, all you see is a big blury something in front of you.
The only way to see in the dark with this is to pack it away and use your eyes.
I tested this in various conditions, full moon, no moon, stars, infra red on/off, different batteries and overall result in this is an expensive piece of nothing.
