Review: Quite capable for the money - I have on occasion used some top of the line night vision equipment. These units are extremely advanced and blow this little monocular out of the water. They have much greater range and clarity than this little unit ever could. However, the sight mark does have a secret weapon. Top of the line night vision devices can run 5 figures. $200 for the ghost hunter is a lot of money, but compared to its brethren is peanuts. This little guy will perform an amazing job considering the comparatively primitive technology in it. With a halfway decent moon, you can see a few hundred yards and distinguish clearly what you're looking at. The IR illuminator is ok but the range is limited. I was able to clearly count cattle at a distance of about 150 yards. The focus is surprisingly sharp, given the price point and technology used in this unit. The ghost hunter is small and lightweight, and fits easily in a pocket, unlike more advanced units which are quite a bit larger. The device uses AA batteries, which is a huge plus for me. AA's are easily found, and rechargeable ones can be stocked in great quantities for little cost. I have not torture tested the sight mark yet, and I do not believe it can survive nearly as much abuse as military duty night vision devices. However, one must keep in mind that this unit is not designed for extremely strenuous use. Rather, it has been built to provide the maximum clarity for the price, and it excels at that. Just by examining the sight mark, I believe it could survive the occasional drop onto a soft surface like grass, and well as moderate weather. Bottom line, if your goal is to invade Azerbaijan, you will need a more advanced device. If, on the other hand, your goal is to simply check on the critters at night unobtrusively, it's hard to imagine a more cost competitive unit than this one. Review: not much better not much worse - This Gen 1 NVG is a 6 out of 10 in my eyes, The NVG part works well and I'm quite impressed for the price, It takes between 20 sec to 2 min to power down. The IR Light when Active creates a red light on the lens which if using in a senior could give your positions away with a naked eye. This does not mount to a rhino helmet mount (US Military NVG Mount) unless you buy a adapter. This DID not come with battery's and was shipped with it in a box inside a larger box with no bubbles or pads, creating a unsettling thought about the shipment. I have had the product for almost a day, so a update will concur down the road when I receive the Mount from desertcart. But for the money its about what to be expected, not much better not much worse... I just wished it came with the attachments, as of now. ****UPDATE*** Bought the adaptor for the combat helmet and could find only 2 price points either super expensive or 30$... the$30 adaptor stinks wobbles and keeps the NVGs on a angle so they are not good for helmet mounted. For the 2x, this is my first working with 2x and it is impossible to adjust your eyes for moving with 2x on. SO if your looking for walking of moving NVG set, this is not one, on a 22 cal or something small where the recoil wont effect the NVGs, this is a great purchases ## Features - Hand held and head mountable operation. Integrated IR illuminator. Automatic shutoff when exposed to bright light. Lightweight and compact - 2x magnification for accurate depth perception. - Multicoated optics. Weapons mountable. - 72 hour operating time w/o IR activated.

You have to work with it and get use to the focus, but once that's done its great for night hunting with an IR flashlight mounted to the firearm. the IR in the NVM is not that strong. **Q: Will this work as a monocular in daytime as well???** A: The lens cap has a hole to limit light in the day time for testing. Not really designed for use in the daytime. **Q: Did anyone mouth this to a scope how does it work and what is the length of it.** A: I mounted it behind a red dot, works very good for my purposes. You need the mount that comes with this scope, scope and mount is almost 9 inches. The scope by itself is 6 inches. **Q: Can I helmet mount this and navigate with it? I have a J-arm that seems like will fit this, but I didn't think about the navigation with the 2x zoom.** A: If you are using a standard military issued J-arm then yes. I use mine with a standard issued J-arm and rhino mount from the army. Just takes a little figuring out. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quite capable for the money *by A***R on December 25, 2015* I have on occasion used some top of the line night vision equipment.

The Ghost Hunter is a huge improvement over that old unit, with a flatter, clearer, field of view, less distortion around the edge of the visual field (although there is some) and better resolution. It's also significantly smaller and lighter than the old viewer, and i'm guessing more weatherproof. I bought the Ghost Hunter after having had good experience with Sightmark's Proton 4.5x digital scope which I have mounted on my Crosman Marauder air rifle. Sightmark has a good reputation, and they're said to stand behind their 3 year warranty. I was also attracted to the low price- I paid about $165 for my Ghost Hunter, which puts it at the low end of Gen 1 scopes, but it has very good reviews overall here on Amazon. One slight annoyance: The objective and eyepiece focusing barrels have almost no resistance to turning. That makes them very easy to focus, which I suppose is a plus, but it also makes it very easy to knock the eyepiece out of focus. Once you get the eyepiece adjusted to your eye, you really don't want to have to keep adjusting it. I solved this by wrapping a wide rubber band around the front end of the eyepiece focusing ring. If you're looking for a relatively inexpensive entry into night vision for nature viewing or hunting, this scope is a good choice. By itself it makes a fine viewer, and with the addition of a dot sight and Sightmark's Weaver mount it can serve as the basis of a night vision hunting scope, too. All in all a good value for what they're asking. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/1175405-sightmark-ghost-hunter](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/1175405-sightmark-ghost-hunter) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-25*
