“There's a backlog on orders but it was worth the wait. I'm impressed!! It depends on your lighting situation on how these work just as any nvg's. A small IR light goes a long way. Familiarize yourself with the functions before testing/using. Attached mine to headgear, monocular, eyepieces help tremendously. I love them.”

“Took it out last night to see how it did on the street and in my woods. It was impressive on the street but on a moonless night in the woods not so much.”

“Camera works as it should, in pure darkness it’s basically useless. A friend has a ir light and makes a huge difference. Great product for the price 1/3 the price of night vision.”

“With only a few days of testing, camera works great in dusk and dark as well, without any aid of an IR light. Case it came in is impressive as the camera. Charging light was a little confusing, most other cams blink green when charged, but the cam is easy to use and set up, even without directions. Can't wait to use it more!”

“Very efficient site, fast purchase, goods under testing. Not 5 stars since 1) i had to pay the customs on my own, that's ok, but I didn't read anything about it ( in italy is 22%) 2) the item has arrived with two invoices that has generated some trouble in customs 3) the item ( aurora pro) comes without any manual, but i have to say I found the aurora mamual in this site. Overall, a good buying experience. As stated before the site is ok ( and the italian translation quite good compared to the average translated sites)”

“Overall this product was a disappointment for the money spent and there was clearly a lack of attention put into human engineering or operational application. It does have good color night vision and functions as described in that regard. The images are also far sharper than any image intensifier based device. While the image quality is good, the night/twilight/day selector is small and difficult to manipulate even without gloves, and the lens adjustment is easily bumped out of position when attempting to adjust the N/T/D switch. This is definitely below par for hunting or tactical use due to the direction arrow controls being so small, making them difficult to manipulate when wearing all but nitrile gloves or perhaps tight fitting pilot’s gloves. Typical Nomex gloves or Mechanix type protective gloves will make this problem worse. It is also a sound and light discipline disaster, due to readily visible green and red LED’s on initial startup, combined with a zingy noise. You shouldn’t have to be an operator to realize this; any hunter or surveillance specialist will pick this out as a problem immediately. This will give away your position day or night so attempting to use this for law enforcement, security, or military surveillance is a mission failure waiting to happen. These should be disabled from the start and require a menu selection to enable them. Another point of failure is loading and unloading the battery. The rear end has to be removed and has no retaining cord, strap, or cable. If you were attempting to change batteries in a moving vehicle or during a high stress situation, this could easily get away from you, possibly putting your NVD out of action. The release lever for the end cap / battery access is also very difficult to operate when you are wearing gloves, probably impossible for someone with big fingers plus gloves. The “instructions” are a flimsy folded piece of paper with tiny printing that is difficult to read in all but bright light conditions. For the amount of money this cost I’m irritated that Sionyx couldn’t provide an instructional CD or mini-disc with a PDF instruction manual, let alone print a proper instruction booklet, even in black and white. I’ve paid less for other NVD’s and IR/visible lasers that come with a paper manual that provides more information in a format that doesn’t require magnifiers to read comfortably. It also wouldn’t have cost the manufacturer too much to throw in one of the Picatinny mounts with the package deal, especially since another manufacturer sells 3 different heights for $1 more. Next time, Sionyx, please do better research and look at some mil-spec gear to avoid the problems inherent to the Aurora not-so-pro.”

“My Aurora Black is a great addition to my scopes, sights, and red dot spotting and aiming gear. It is easy to setup, a great size and weight. It is amazing to go out in the dark and see very well. We have some night time pests bothering my neighbors cattle. Now i will be able to see what is going on. Plus this unit as a digital cam and recorder makes it even more versatile. I wish they would have packed the lanyard & pouch, but that is ok.”

“Product did OK but there was no documentation. I mean zero documentation. I know everyone likes it online but while you are on a boat at night it is hard to look at your phone to figure your camera out. I purchased a 64gb chip and of course it did not work so I had to go return it which I personally hate and get a 32gb chip. If I would have had some documentation they might have told me that you could not buy bigger than a 32GB chip.”

“Excellent ordering experience, appreciated various payment options. From order to delivery extremely fast! The device is great and well made - it would be helpful to have a quick start guide in the box even if it directs you to website - for example here is how to insert battery and charge it should be in the box. Also a recommendation on the microSD card prior to delivery would also be good. Finally I didn't see it on SiOnyx site but are there eyecups and lens covers available? If not should look at that accessory.”
