X Vision Optics Shadow 100 Digital Night Vision

X Vision Optics has just unveiled its new Shadow 100 Digital Night Vision Mini Viewer. This newer and updated pocket-size night-vision viewing device features an extended night-vision viewing range of 400 yards and an upgraded high-resolution IPS (In Plane Switching) display. The Shadow 100 Mini Night Vision Viewer is also equipped with an 8X digital zoom and seven different IR intensity/brightness settings. Its size makes it useful for hunters, campers, hikers, tactical professionals or general outdoor enthusiasts. Unlike the Shadow 100’s predecessor, which used thin film-transistor technology, the upgraded IPS display in this new model makes for a better end user experience by providing sharper imagery, enhanced contrast and wider viewing angles.
