    • Our take on the Carson Aura Plus 2x

    The Carson Aura Plus 2x is a pocket-size digital night vision binocular with 2x magnification and a built-in camera for capturing stills and video. At 4.5 oz and about 2.5 inches tall, it fits a jacket pocket and runs on a battery you supply. It suits casual night walks, camping and backyard wildlife watching, but it is not waterproof and its small digital sensor limits range and image quality compared with larger night vision monoculars and binoculars.

    Questions and answers

    How far can the Aura Plus 2x see in the dark?
    It is a digital unit with 2x magnification, so it works best on nearby subjects such as a yard, trail or campsite. Expect clear views of objects within a short range and much softer images at distance.
    Does it record video or only take photos?
    The built-in camera captures both stills and video, so you can save what you see. Files go to the device's memory card, which is not included.
    Is it waterproof?
    No. Keep it out of rain and wipe off condensation, since moisture can damage the electronics.
    What battery does it take?
    It runs on a battery that is not included, so plan to supply one before your first trip. Check the battery type on the box or manual before buying.
    How does it compare with a night vision monocular?
    It is smaller and lighter than most monoculars and adds a camera, but a dedicated monocular usually gives better low-light image quality and longer range. Choose the Aura Plus 2x for portability and casual use.
    Is 2x magnification enough?
    For nearby subjects, yes. It keeps the image stable and bright, but it will not pull in distant animals the way higher-power night vision does.
