Night Vision Monocular forum

I recently purchased a rifle scope and night vision monocular, and i want to take it to Europe this year for hunting but i don't trust the airline's luggage assistance "sort of because of past experience " and i don't want to put those things in the big bags which are not supervised by me because they are really expensive and don't wont them stolen. So i'm curious if i can take them on the airplane in my hand held luggage and if anyone thinks they might make a problem out of it. Thanks!

I see no reason why you could not take both of those items with you in your carry-on. From any kind of security point of view, the scope is no different than binoculars or any other kind of optics - it does not have a sharp edge, is not pointed, explosive or threatening in any way. The monocular part of the night vision equipment is the same thing - just another piece of optics. The only thing that I think they might want to look at more closely could be the electronics associated with the night vision function. In all likelihood, all that anyone might do is to wipe it with a pad, then check that pad in a machine that looks for residues of chemicals typically associated with explosives. If you have been handling gun powder, or have handled either the scope or the night vision gear after shooting, then there could have slight traces of gunpowder residue. If that is the case, then it might take a bit more time to get past the security check, but, personally, I don't see them confiscating anything. Obviously, the firearms that go along with those items are a different story - but you didn't ask about those, so there's nothing else to say. Good luck.

The NVMT 4x50 night vision monocular is an incredible multi-functional unit; both compact and lightweight, this versatile monocular weighs only 13oz. Featuring a durable, Rubber Armor body the 4x50 is weather resistant and completely capable of being taken off the beaten path. The built-in Pulse IR system uses a powerful infrared illuminator to provide added light detection under conditions where there is little or no detectable light and the illuminator’s pulsating beam reaches 2 to 3 times farther than other infrared systems and reduces battery drain. The NVMT series is the epitome of what a multitasking line should be; completely accessory driven, this monocular has the ability to be converted into a riflescope, mounted to head gear or transformed into a night vision camera. Available accessories include a IR flashlight, digital camera adapter, NVMT head gear kit and NVMT riflescope conversion kit. The NVMT 4x50 is backed by Yukon’s Limited Lifetime Warranty.

Look on E-Bay...

Just want it around the house primarily for when I travel and my wife hears "bumps in the night" and wants to scan the house perimeter to ensure no one is outside the house. Thanks!

Right........................ Pesky restraining order Huh. These are a first gen and run just a few hundred. 3,4 gen run lots more but are really good for situations where you would encounter bright light with scattered darkness. These unless in very dark conditions are just a novelty. I think you are better off with motion detectors with flood lights, and a fur coated razor blade, aka big mean dog.
