Covert Operations For Kids With Stealth Goggles Night Vision Gear

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 designed for kids 8 years and over for the purpose of playing various games at night.

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 the goggles are totally undetectable - no visible light or sound whatsoever.

The second mode, known as surveillance mode, gives you a longer range, described as 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 can fit snugly to the face ensuring comfort even when wearing them for a fairly long period of time. 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. So this means you will never have to take off the goggles unless you desire to.

The binoculars give you more flexibility to switch between infrared vision and normal night time vision, but of course, you have to use your hands to operate them. This could steer people away from the binoculars if they want completely hands free night vision capabilities.

Both items will be a cherished gift at Christmas, especially to young boys, but they are not really designed to be used while running, jumping etc. so pre-warn your kids. If goggles don't sound like you, then how about some eyeclops night vision infrared binoculars instead. - 31409
