AGM FoxBat-8 3AW1 Long Distance Night Vision Binoculars-Gen3

Gen 3 BNVD Night Vision Bino for Crystal Clear Focus

The AGM FoxBat-8 3AW1 Long Distance Night Vision Binoculars-Gen3 transform darkness into opportunity with professional-grade Gen 3 white phosphor imaging that brings distant targets into crystal-clear focus. When surveillance demands, hunting ethics, or tactical operations require confident long-range observation in near-total darkness, this 8x magnification bi-ocular delivers the clarity and performance serious users depend on.

Multi-coated optics, dual-eye comfort, and 40-hour battery life on standard AAs keep you operational. Proven Optic delivers professional tools trusted by law enforcement and serious hunters who demand clarity when precision matters most in complete darkness.

Built for hunters tracking nocturnal predators, where 8x magnification enables target identification beyond 200 yards. Tactical professionals conducting surveillance, law enforcement on observation posts, and property owners managing large acreages gain Gen 3 clarity advantages in darkness.

Not ideal for users seeking lightweight, helmet-mounted navigation goggles. The 3.88-lb weight and narrow 4.5° field optimize stationary observation over mobility. Budget-conscious beginners might explore Gen 2+ alternatives before investing in Gen 3 performance.

Gen 3 Level 1 Auto-Gated White Phosphor Tube (64-72 lp/mm) — Delivers superior resolution and contrast with automatic brightness adjustment that protects the intensifier while maintaining crystal-clear images as you transition between varying light conditions, from ambient moonlight to complete darkness.

8x Magnification with 216mm F/1.8 Lens System — Brings distant targets into sharp focus with professional multi-coated all-glass optics that maximize light transmission, enabling identification at ranges where competing systems show only shapes and shadows.

Dual-Eye Bi-Ocular Design for Fatigue-Free Observation — Eliminates the eye strain of monocular systems during extended surveillance or hunting sessions, providing comfortable two-eyed viewing through a single high-quality image intensifier tube with beam splitter technology.

40-Hour Battery Life on Standard AA Batteries — Outlasts the competition with exceptional power efficiency using readily available AA batteries, keeping you operational through multiple missions without expensive proprietary battery packs or frequent recharging.

IP67 Waterproof Rating with -40°F to 122°F Operating Range — Performs reliably in extreme weather conditions from arctic cold to desert heat, with complete dust protection and submersion resistance ensuring mission-critical reliability when conditions deteriorate.

Detachable Long-Range IR Illuminator (850nm) — Extends viewing capability in absolute darkness up to 200 meters with adjustable beam intensity, operating beyond the visible spectrum for covert operations while remaining undetected by targets lacking NV equipment.

Strengths: Excels for long-range observation with 8x magnification and Gen 3 white phosphor delivering target identification beyond 250 yards. Level 1 tube quality provides clean imaging that outperforms Gen 2+ alternatives. Dual-eye viewing reduces fatigue while 40-hour battery life eliminates power anxiety.

Limitations: The 3.88-pound weight demands tripod support for extended sessions—the narrow 4.5° field trades situational awareness for magnification, suiting focused surveillance over dynamic movement. Users who need helmet-mounted systems should consider dual-tube goggles despite the higher cost.

Gen 3 BNVD Night Vision Bino - Data Sheet

Q: How far can I see with the AGM FoxBat-8 3AW1 at night?

The detection range varies with ambient light and target size. Under quarter-moon conditions, expect to detect human-sized targets at 300-400 yards and recognize features at 150-200 yards. The 8x magnification excels for identification at distances where 1x systems show only movement.

Q: What's the difference between these bi-ocular and dual-tube goggles?

The FoxBat-8 uses a single Gen 3 tube with a beam splitter that feeds both eyepieces, providing comfortable two-eyed viewing. Dual-tube goggles use two separate tubes for accurate depth perception and typically cost significantly more. Bi-oculars excel for stationary observation, while duals favor mobile operations.

Q: Can I mount this on a helmet for hands-free use?

While technically possible via the mounting rail, the 3.88-pound weight and 8x magnification make helmet mounting impractical for extended wear. This bi-ocular is optimized for handheld observation with optional tripod mounting for stability during long surveillance sessions.

Q: How does Gen 3 Level 1 compare to Gen 2+ tubes?

Gen 3 Level 1 tubes significantly outperform Gen 2+ in low-light sensitivity, allowing observation in darker conditions without IR illumination. Image quality shows better contrast, fewer artifacts, and longer tube lifespan. The performance gap justifies the price difference for professional applications.

Q: What batteries does it use, and how long do they last?

The FoxBat-8 operates on two standard 1.5V AA batteries (or one BA-5567/U /Lithium), providing up to 40 hours of continuous operation. This exceptional battery life, using readily available batteries, eliminates the logistical burden of proprietary power sources during extended field operations.
