Here is a picture of me skulking around with the goggles on the "high" setting. The camera shows a bright ring of LEDs on my head, but visually they are much dimmer, like a glowing heater coil within a hair dryer.

The inside of the goggles reveal why this is a $90 toy and not $1,200 tactical equipment. The image display is little, and there is only one of them.

I guess these were designed for "see like a pirate day".

The display screen is about the size of the CTRL key on a keyboard.

Luckily, that tiny display gets the job done because it is positioned about an inch away from your eyeball.

When you are wearing the goggles, the image fills about 1/15th of your field of view for that one eye... sort of like viewing a 17" laptop screen from four feet away. That makes it a little tough to navigate in complete darkness.

Of course, if it is really dark, I'd much rather have these night vision goggles than not have them. Better 1/15th than 0/15th.

By holding my camera very close to the display, I was able to take a few photos of what kind of images you can expect to see while wearing the Eyeclops goggles.

The photos below were taken through the night vision goggles, in almost complete darkness.

Here is a mixer.

Of course, everything looks a little more sinister when you spot it in the infrared. This might be for mixing yellow cake.
