Ok, good to know, I just wanted to know if this was something that people would be after, apparently not, which is fine! This is something I'm yet to find out, Im in the part of design process where im testing concepts, but I also haven't completed the internals yet but Im planning on it coming in less than 300g, it will be very small.

Yes it would be digital, and the camera I'm planning on using has LEDs, now at night there is a level of abundant IR supplied by the stars and the sun which would work in open areas, I'm yet to test anything yet. Do many people currently run with traditional night vision? yes head mounted, I'm working on a couple options at the moment, a head gear, goggles and clipping onto a hat. The digital would likely require LEDs yes and definitely would give them away. The thermal camera we're looking at is 160x120 pix and is the best cheap thermal, anything more requires a £2k camera core. Your point about flashlights is one of the reasons I've chosen digital NV as image intensifier tubes (traditional NV) will burn up with bright lights.

Hi everyone, I'm a new member and I'm not an aisofter, I am however a designer and for my final major project of my masters degree I am designing a cheap night vision and thermal monocular to be used by anti poaching rangers in Africa. Now this is a small market and I have identified the UK and US airsoft markets as potential secondary markets. So I ask, would anyone have interest in a hands free, dual night vision monocular priced around £300, built to withstand harsh conditions? Thanks Alex
