Yukon Binocular Ranger 5 x42 Digital

The Digital Ranger 5x42 is the next generation of night vision. The innovative approach that customers have come to expect from Yukon is evident in the Ranger’s revolutionary digital night vision capabilities; the Ranger has the highest magnification available, and the clearest image, that you just can’t get with traditional night vision. With the best edge-to-edge resolution on the market, the Ranger rivals the effectiveness of comparable Gen 2 and Gen 3 night vision devices at any range. The Stealth™ invisible IR illuminator ensures that the beam is invisible to watchful eyes at any range. What is most amazing about this device is that, unlike ordinary night vision, the Ranger can be used for daytime, as well as nighttime, operation without damaging the device. The Ranger is designed to be the most versatile unit available, with a durable, compact body and unique innovations including a direct video output for video recording or remote viewing. The Digital Ranger 5x42 is backed by Yukon’s Limited Lifetime Warranty

Now features an upgraded Sony CCD for improved imaging. Coupled with the addition of a variable gain control dial (brightness/contrast control), this offers noticeable performance advantages over the previous model.

Because the unit uses a CCD with the image viewed on a built-in LCD screen, the unit cannot be damaged by bright light sources. Variable gain contol allows you to adjust the image based on an individual scenes lighting level.

The built-in high power Infrared Illuminator - the right-hand lens of the device - is covert (invisible to the human eye at approx. 940nm) and throws a beam out to over 100m. In ultra low light levels this provides the unit with its own light source. The power output of the illuminator is also controllable offering maximum flexibility in image brightness/contrast.

The unit offers true 5x optical image magnification through the left hand lens of the device. Currently competitive products can only achieve higher magnifications through digital magnification which means a loss of resolution.

A Video Out facility (lead included) means that the unit can be linked to a recording device such as a DVD Recorder/Video Recorder /Camcorder or alternatively to a monitor.

Running on 6 x AA sized batteries, the unit is supplied with two battery cradles (for quick battery change), a 12V car adaptor and a UK mains lead. The unit will happily accept the latest NiMH rechargeable batteries (2700mAh) - in fact, these are the recommended power source when out in the field.

A screw thread is built-in to the base allowing attachment to a tripod
