Airsoft and night vision goggles

It can be difficult to see the enemy in the dark! While it isn’t vital night vision solves this problem and gives you the advantage. Night vision goggles also complete the “tactical” look in the airsoft battle zone.

We think night vision for airsoft needs to be affordable, robust and stealthy. That's why the Swift 2 and Prowl have stealthy 940nm illuminators built in.

Range: Night vision goggles let you spot opponents at greater distances in low light conditions. The range of every device varies, but anything up to 100 yards should be sufficient for most airsoft games. Manoeuvre: Night vision lets you move around, inside and outside in complete darkness. Nightfox’s 1x magnification goggles are perfect. Intel: Your own night vision goggles let you spot players on the opposing team who are using IR illumination. Nightfox devices always let you turn the IR illumination off, so you can scan the battlefield for enemy IR without giving away your own position. Review: Some Nightfox devices allow you to record, so you can review the footage later to evaluate how your battle strategy worked out.

Here at Nightfox, we would recommend the Nightfox Prowl for use during airsoft games. The Cape is ideal due to its ‘low glow’ 940nm infrared LED, which gives off very little ‘red glow’ in comparison to other infrared LEDs. This means it is less likely to give your position away. The Prowl also features a replaceable lens cap for the digital sensor - there to help protect the optics in airsoft matches and an adaptor for a wilcox G24 style helmet mount.
