As someone who’s been playing airsoft for over 6 years, I’ve tried my fair share of night vision setups, most of which were either overpriced or barely usable. This thing? Absolute game-changer.
First off, the thermal is insane for spotting movement, especially in CQB or wooded areas with lots of cover. It doesn’t matter how good someone’s camo is because if they’re warm, you’ll see them.
Highly recommend.

Was skeptical at first because I've seen a lot of poor reddit reviews about night operators... and let me just say the Heat and Viper 4.0 have been completely reinvented from the ground up... To my surprise the night vision image definition is higher than I thought, and the field of view is quite high with a large screen inside and lowest latency I've seen in a digital device at this price range. Thermal works really well and the 1 to 1 stereoscopic image merging is amazing, you just have to train your eyes a bit.

Very happy with my purchase from Night operators. I got the heat 4.0 thermal monocular and I gotta say this is the best thermal imager you can get for sub $500 nowadays. They really stepped up their game. I got FLIRS which cost over $1000 and this thing competes. I also noticed that they relocated their button controls to the top of the device in their newest batch I assume because it would collide with bridged devices previously. Awesome improvement.

QUESTIONS
check_box
Can I Bridge Old Night Operators Goggles?
No, our previous goggles were 1x, but did not have true stereoscopic imaging which caused a mismatch in the size of objects with both eyes open. Only our HEAT & VIPER have the new true 1x lens and diopter with bridgeable rails.
check_box
Can I Bridge HEAT Thermal With Actual Military Analogue Goggles?
Yes! HEAT was designed to be bridged with VIPER and military analogue goggles such as the PVS-14. This feature was not previously possible with the FUSION 3.0
check_box
Does VIPER digital NV Work With IR OFF?
Yes! However, the clarity of the imagery would be significantly reduced since our device relies on infrared lighting. However, it can still see in the dark without IR light better than the naked eye.
check_box
What is the lens magnification?
1x. You will find a bunch of cheap night vision goggles from Amazon but they are all 3-4x+ which are unusable indoors or up close. We are the first to make affordable 1x night vision goggles.
check_box
Does HEAT & VIPER Require Batteries?
No, HEAT & VIPER operate with an internal battery which is rechargeable via USB-C. The battery compartment supports a single interchangeable battery which actively recharges the internal battery during use.

What Battery Does HEAT & VIPER Use?
The HEAT and VIPER both support one 18650 battery in their external battery compartments.
However, both HEAT & VIPER have internal batteries which support TYPE-C charging.

I originally planned on buying one NVG thinking I should be good with the one but I should’ve known better than that. I guess I was just trying to keep the cost down. So I bought one. After having just the one I had to get another so I bought another one. If I would’ve bought two right away I would’ve saved a little bit of money. But after looking at all NVGs that’s out there I’m pretty sure that I ultimately did save money. I’m very pleased with my purchases.

Was skeptical at first because I've seen a lot of poor reddit reviews and trust pilot scores online about night operators, but after waiting for a while I finally got them and they are quit impressive. I got their Fusion 3.0 and Max 2.0 before and let me just say the Heat and Viper 4.0 have been completely reinvented from the ground up. I expected them to be temu junk but this is genuinely really good for a couple hundred bucks. To my surprise the night vision image definition is higher than I thought, and the field of view is quite high with a large screen inside and lowest latency I've seen in a digital device at this price range. Thermal works really well and the 1 to 1 sterescopic image merging is amazing, you just have to train your eyes a bit if you're not used to it. Overall, banger release by night operators. Exceeded expectations and a huge improvement from previous generations.
I was very surprised how well these work. The night vision is decent, and the IR lights up my entire yard in pitch black conditions.
The Heat scope improves up everything, and I could see my dogs lit up like lightbulbs brightly.
There is a very slight blur when moving.
There is no washout if you move into a well lit position. Vision is just as good in day or night.
Overall, I’m extremely pleased with my purchase.
Bought the viper 4.0 and it works great, it really is 1:1 ratio 1x. Magnification. This is great for night air soft or night hunting maybe.... maybe, but still hard to beat at that price, i got mine for $199
I am so impressed with this thermal unit. I am using this for hunting purposes. I use them to move into tree stands early in the morning. These allow me to move with no light and it allows me to spot deer so I don't spook them moving to my stand. It also helps me identify them or other wild game while I'm in the stand waiting for twilight. This morning right after sunrise i had dense heavy fog and these allowed me to spot a 200 lbs hog moving in front of me. The headband didn't work for how heavy these are. I bought a cheap bump helmet with nvg mount and that works perfect.
Holly molly! How can you do that! How is it possible! Sorcery? No, just smart company bringing the ultimate NVG to civilian market, and for a very fair price compared to other company. I absolutely love my NVG! No zoom, almost zero delay, battery life extended if used with a battery bank!!!
You guys rock!!!
Thank you very much!
This product is awesome for walking around at night inexpensive airsoft, night, vision and paired with an external infrared light source either weapon mounted or handheld. This thing for the price point is insanely good. I’m not sure how waterproof this thing is, but if they were to make a fully waterproof unit I would buy it.
I’m a TikTok creator on @damexicanweeb and I got to say I love it the night vision goggles. I thought they are going to be disappointed but I was wrong they are amazing
The night vision was under his suit, he wanted to play hide and seek with his friends with night vision to scare them more and it worked. He could see them but they couldn’t see him. Great product.. Thank you guys it was the best Christmas gift for my son and his devious plan..
Bonjour alors j'ai pu tester à plusieurs occasions la bino Heat and Viper.
Extérieurement l'ensemble est bien construit, solide. Le montage casque fourni est léger et résistant.
Toutefois j'ai une petite tête et je dois régler les deux appareils au plus proche et même comme ça impossible d'avoir une superposition des deux images corrects. Mais avec un peu d'habitude on s'accommode du décalage.
Le module thermique fonctionne vraiment très bien. Il fourni une belle image détaillée.
Le module jvn est clairement en dessous niveau efficacité même en condition de bonne luminosité le résultat reste décevant sans apport IR. J'ai eu d'autres jvn numérique qui était clairement meilleur c'est dommage. Avec un capteur de meilleur qualité le combo serait fabuleux pour le prix. De plus la jvn est peu sensible à l'ir 940. Elle voit bien l'ir 850 ( monté sur la jvn)
Le montage en bino de part la forme des appareils ne permet pas d'inverser la position de la thermique et de la jvn. C'est dommage. Les compartiments à batterie gênent enfin pour moi et ma petite tête.
En tout cas je ne peux que recommander le module thermique qui pour le prix est très sympa.
I ordered the full setup, i had a few issues with the hardware.They sent me one of the screws stripped out right away. I never received a helmet mount that I thought I would. I've emailed numerous times and was completely ignored numerous times.. other that the i love the night vision. Still no helmet mount i'm unhappy customer.
A good product overall. I did think I was going to receive both items based on the listing, as the advert I went through didn’t give a choice of setup, which felt a bit misleading.
That said, I haven’t used it in a game yet, but I have used it in training and it worked well. I’ll leave another review once I’ve had the Heat as well.
I was surprised at the product selection offered. It was suitable to my needs, and I was able to purchase a reasonably priced thermal and IR set up. The helmet cushions fit perfectly.
You could send me the rest of my order! I would like the other half of the optics combo I ordered. That would be nice! I also never received the rechargeable batteries and charger.
Was worried at first this company comes up in searches as fake or scam but it is Definitely not!!! Not gonna lie tracking from the uni shipping company is terrible. I had to email uni and threaten them cause said first delivery attempt failed when they never even tried to deliver. But 20 days latter my dual vipers with the bridge showed up. And WOW! Some much better than I’d ever hope for at the price. Only complains are shipping company and wish they would include a dovetail mount to screw right on the monocular and quick attach to the Wilcox mount. Very satisfied!!!
The night vision was cool but when adding the Heat it made it super cool. A little adjustment and it put them together. I was running them inside my house and I could see where the coldest coming in. For the price it is amazing. I have a extra night vision, because I didn't know what I was doing when I ordered. I'm just going to give it to my son. Draw back is the batteries have still not arrived, do to being shipped from China. I just went to a vape store and bought them and a charger.
Took about a month to get to me orderd december 8 viper and heat bridge with helmet cover , g23 style mount 'aluminum," and extra battery pouch for kevlar. And it arrives yesterday and i only received the viper nvg no thermals they "customer support "are pretty good at getting ba k with you and its a great product in my opinion for the money but i will say the quality check guy is slippin rn during the holidays but nonethe less i would buy agian
Jeden Cent Wert !!!
Was Soll ich sagen, bin froh das ich noch eins bekommen hab weil Sie das Heat&Viper 4.0 nicht mehr nach Deutschland liefern.
Termal ist so Nice ich bin sowas von begeistert.
Und das NG ist bei absoluter Dunkelheit perfekt.
Klar, ohne IR gehts nicht aber wenn ganz Dunkel ist man froh das man eins Hat.

Really pleased with this nightvision! Especially for the price! Having true 0x magnification is a huge game changer and makes it so much for practical and effective
Having already bought a year ago the Fusion 3.0, i obviously had to buy the Heat & viper 4.0. I haven't been able to test them much for now, but they truly are amazing, first of all in the look, and utility, the Heat works really well , and has a better sensitivity to heat signature than the Fusion, though the resolution looks to be a bit less than the Fusion, it isn't something that is bothering plus it has a lots of new coloring, including the green filter who makes it feels like a phosphor nvg. As of the viper, it works perfectly well too, just like the Fusion. Either way, again Night Operator's couldn't have done better,
Plus again if i may, Night Operator's services are really amazing, always responding quickly and with the best help they can provide.
Absolutly Perfect. It's everything your paying for and it looks kickass. The packaging was proffesional and great and the night vision is amazing. Would recomend to anybody doing Gel Blasting, Airsoft, or any hobbyists out there.
