The AGM FoxBat-8 is an 8x night vision bi-ocular for long-range observation from a fixed position, such as watching a field edge, a property line or a perimeter. A 216 mm F/1.8 catadioptric objective gathers light into a single image intensifier tube, and a beam splitter sends the image to two eyepieces. You view with both eyes, which is far less tiring than squinting through a monocular during long sessions. The narrow 4.5° field of view and 8x magnification are aimed at detail at distance rather than walking or scanning up close.
This is the white phosphor 3AW1 version. It uses AGM's Gen 3 "Level 1" auto-gated tube, rated FOM 1400-1800 with P45 white phosphor and practically no visible spots in the center of the image. White phosphor shows the scene in black and white, which many users find easier to read for detail and contrast. AGM also builds the FoxBat-8 with the same Gen 3 Level 1 tube in green (P43) phosphor (3AL1) and in Gen 2+ Level 1 versions (NL1, NW1).
The FoxBat-8 runs up to 40 hours on two AA batteries and has a built-in IR plus a detachable 850 nm long-range illuminator rated to about 200 m. It ships with a tripod, which threads into the 1/4 in socket in the bottom rail.
