Bushnell Equinox X650 Digital Night Vision Monocular

{"reviews":[{"id":5928066,"locale":"en_US","rating":2,"title":"Manual is poorly done","text":"While the product seems fine, the manual is horrible and it took hours of trial and error to set it up. The first manual I downloaded from the Product Support section was dated 2021. I then found the one on this page which is 2024. It still says 4 AA batteries. It only takes 3 as the product page says. Some examples. It says to install the SD card with the metal contacts pointing down. They must be pointed up. Only fits one way. It says to press and hold the Power (N) button to enter the menu. That turns it off. You must press and hold the Mode (M) button to enter the menu settings. Says to press N button to go back to display. Nope, shuts it off. Need to use M again. Says pressing N will exit all menus and return you to normal view. Nope, shuts it off. I haven't figured out how to review and delete photos and videos. It doesn't work anything like described. Can't find Gallery. To delete press Down button. What Down button? Would really like some clarification please.","textLength":982,"csFlag":false,"inappropriateFlag":false,"reviewedFlag":false,"autoModerated":false,"published":true,"incentivized":false,"upVotes":1,"downVotes":1,"orderId":null,"dimensions":[],"responses":[],"tags":[],"media":{"photo":[],"video":[],"audio":[]},"user":{"nickName":"BillP","firstName":null,"lastName":null,"emailAddress":null,"externalId":null,"city":null,"state":null,"country":null,"ageRange":null,"badge":null,"shopperProfiles":[]},"reviewedDate":null,"purchaseDate":null,"dateCreated":"2024-12-26T00:00:00-05:00","customData":[],"incentiveType":null,"campaign":null,"deviceFingerprint":null,"topics":[{"name":"manual settings","score":0.59}],"syndication":{"sourceName":"Bushnell","siteUrl":"https://www.bushnell.com/","logoUrl":"https://images.turnto.com/site/syndicationlogos/2916_LH48.png"},"catalogItems":[{"sku":"29757-EX650","title":"Bushnell Equinox X650 Digital Night Vision Monocular","url":"https://www.scheels.com/p/29757-EX650","category":"thermal-monoculars","reviewCount":15,"ratingCount":15,"averageRating":4.1,"ratingBreakdown":{"1":0,"2":1,"3":1,"4":9,"5":4},"active":true,"attributes":[]}]},{"id":5928065,"locale":"en_US","rating":4,"title":"Decent night vision","text":"I got this as I wanted a stand alone object viewer for viewing my livestock.

What is even more disgusting is that Bushnell assumes that everyone has acess to downloading owners manuals for their products, but on top of that their owners manual for this unit does not even match the unit. They tried to come up with a generic manual that is for more than one model and what's confusing is set-up steps in the generic manual does not even match the selecdtions.\n\nFor the price the unit is a good short range unit of about 100 yards and less. I use rechargeable AA batteries in mine with good results and carry a extra set of batteries. I added a IR light to mine but it's still just a 100 year max unit so as to ID deer and coyotes. I bought this one so as I can scan without having to use the NV scoped rifle. Once I detect something with the monocular I'll go to the long range NV scoped rifle for a more positive ID. It does show animals eyes reflections really good.\nBushnell needs to quit acting cheapo and start sending proper owners with their products. they are doing the same with their hunting scopes.
