## Description

The Bushnell Equinox Z2 night vision monocular enables you to see targets more than 1,000 ft away day or night with a power built-in IR illuminator. Stream live video to you mobile device and control zoom, video recording, image capture, and IR brightness directly from your mobile device. Fine focus for optimal clarity by turning the objective lens up to a full rotation depending on the distance of the object. Because the digital night vision isn’t as sensitive to light, you can keep the cap on when changing from day to night mode. The adjustable IR illuminator helps keep items from washing out at closer distances. The 3x model is great for viewing objects within 50 yards where a wider field of view is preferred. Available in base optical magnification of 3x, 4.5x and 6x with 3x digital zoom to assure the appropriate field of view. The larger the optical magnification the smaller the field of view.

Review: Go ahead and get one. You won't be disappointed. - The scope is well-built with a solid feel to it. Bushnell didn't scrimp on quality of parts with this scope. It's super easy to use right out of the box; the controls are pretty intuitive. The two buttons on the left control power and capture images, and the "arrow pad" on the right controls the rest. The port for the USB plug and the Micro SD card are above the eyepiece/battery door. The lens cap it held on by a pretty decent tether. The worst part was the waiting; I had to wait for darkness like a little kid waiting for Christmas Morning. I finally had to take a nap and wait for darkness. This thing is pretty amazing in the dark; with the built in illuminator (850nm), I was able to get useful illumination out to 286 yards-at that point I could see the people on the walking path. With an external focused illuminator (940nm), I could see the trees at the end of the block 560 yards away-not necessarily enough to see detail, but enough to see the silhouettes of people walking on the sidewalk. The WiFi is a cool feature, but I haven't played with it enough to form an iron-clad opinion one way or the other. Battery life is abysmal,especially with WiFi and the internal illumination set to max brightness. Fortunately, with the latest firmware you can power this scope via USB.
Review: Good for the price - Good for the price point... Other reviews are correct that (1) it's best for stationary use like a spotting scope, (2) it does seem to be a 1080p sensor with 640ish display in the eyepiece... but you can still get a good sharp image, and (3) the built in illuminator is remarkably bright. Overall recommended, good for spotting deer in the yard in the dark and such.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is the 1/4" hole on the bottom on the center of monocular for mounting purpose?**
A: Yes,  that would be a standard mount for a tripod or the like.

**Q: Will I be able to view wild life through porch screen?**
A: I think you'll find a lot of reflection from the IR illumination. You'll likely have to press it against the screen to see anything.

**Q: Can this monocular illuminate and enhance stars in the sky?**
A: Yes it does enhance stars. If you look at a dark part of the sky you will be amazed at how many stars are there that you can't see with your naked eye or a regular telescope.

**Q: In daytime mode is the viewfinder color or black and white?  And does it take color photos and video in the day?**
A: Yes to all your questions . The color is pretty amazing , ok it's not pretty but it's still amazing ! You don't take the lens cap off during the day , there's a tiny pinhole in the cover and through that it still gets clear color images , you can even stream real time video to someone elses phone . Free upgrades are even available from Bushnell . Hope that helps .

*by J***. on June 14, 2023*

EDIT: For anyone having issues with battery life: I purchased AA style, rechargeable Li-ion batteries and they do not disappoint. Bushnell recommended these in the manual and what a difference. I've gone from either using a battery pack or getting 15 minutes to several hours on the LI batteries and still not even down to half a charge. I received this in the mail yesterday as a secondhand Amazon purchase. First, let me say, for the price, it's going to be hard to beat. I've seen mixed reviews but most negative ones were focused on the battery life, power of the IR beam, and the screen being too low of a resolution. I'll share what I found in just a few hours of messing with this: 1.) The battery life with traditional batteries is atrocious. Then again, this thing is essentially a video camera with a light constantly running. And although our eyes don't perceive it, it's a bright light in terms of power consumption. You will be lucky to get 20 minutes on a full, new set of standard or rechargeable batteries. That being said, I ran this with a 10,000 mAh li-ion power bank for close to an hour without depleting a quarter. I have to wait for the rechargeable AA li-ions to get here before I can attest to how long they will last. Bushnell could definitely throw in a rechargeable battery unit for this price point and probably have a lot better sales for little extra cost. 2.) Several people were complaining about distance of use. Using the on board illuminator, I was able to see and focus on objects around 400 yards on a cloudy, low light night, and hand holding the device. This device is a camera, and as such, to gain the maximum function, there are some trade offs. A slower shutter speed setting will allow more light into the sensor between opening and closing. The slowest "refresh" setting will allow you to see farther, but will result in a more "ghostly" look to the user. If you're viewing items that are closer, you can get away with using the fastest refresh of the three options and gain sharper imaging. This only allowed me to see around 100 yards with good brightness. I also added an IR flashlight clipped into a light holder for a bike. A pack of four was around $10 on amazon and you can use 1/4-20×1/2 inch machine screws to fit almost any female tripod mount. I bought the 940 nm light due to the fact that the onboard is an 850 nm. The 850 will give you a slightly brighter detail but the 940 nm allows more covert use, as it is presents as almost invisible even looking directly into the light. 3.) The viewing screen is fairly low resolution and grainy but that is to be somewhat expected in a lower end night vision unit. The same goes with low end thermal units. It is a digital replication and presentation versus an optical one. It's not going to be perfect. Zooming about halfway on a subject will allow for better ability to focus. Since it is digital zoom, the focus will not change when zooming back out, given that you do not change it and your subject stays stationary. The diopter adjustment seems to be extremely limited, however. All in all, when used properly, it seems to be a great unit at this price point. It could stand to probably be built slightly sturdier but it can give some great quality viewing.
