@Bigbadbikernerd: As well as me when I see my hit counter go up. I feel like Sally Field. You like me! You really like me!
Of course, then there's the JerseyCam haters, like Rosa.
Let me be the first to say these things KICK ASS. If these were around when I was little, neighborhood capture the flag would have been a whole different game.
@Indigen: Well, I've been insanely lucky to have only taken two shots to the head/mask over the years, so if that luck were to continue the gadget would be safe.
@Indigen: A good sniper makes the shot, yet doesn't reveal his position. That's why my Semi-Auto pistol is only used as a last resort because it eats CO2 and makes a lot of noise.
@Rosa Golijan: Only if you have a very narrow definition of what a "sniper" or "sniping" is. Sniping is taking a target out from as close as you can while allowing yourself to escape, if need be. If it's 1,000 yards away with a .50 cal or 20 feet away under a bush with a Eagle .68 it's all still sniping.
@nutbastard: I believe the goggles are monocular in design (only one sensor, not one per eye), and are probably using older technology, hence the absolute hugeness. My prediction is that the goggles may be $70 by themselves, maybe even less, which leads to $120 to $130 for the final bundle.
"Alternating modes" probably refers to the fact that you can have just the light amplification, or turn on the infrared LED array for even more visibility.
Some surveillance cameras have similar IR LEDs. Since human eyes can't see near-IR light, but digital camera sensors can (and thus can translate it into the visible spectrum for playback), they make the perfect source of non-visible illumination.
@Rhainor: Yea, you can see the ir leds when he turns the front towards the camera. There's probably not much inside that big assed housing. Small cheap ass camera you can pick up for $12 on fleabay and a small display.

$240 dollars worth of pudding, that's why.

regardless, i'm in, as long as we can get some specs on the goggles beforehand, or it turns out to be under $120.

after some googling, i see no head-mounted monocular night vision goggles under $400...

I'm in!

I have to have this. Sad to say though, I probably won't be able to afford it. :p
On second thought, though, I don't know what the hell I might do with them.....
