Description
The AGM FoxBat-5 NL1 Bi-Ocular (AGM item 13FXB525103011, UPC 810027771988) is a 5x night vision bi-ocular for mid- and long-range observation fitted with a Gen 2+ Level 1 image intensifier tube with a green P43 phosphor screen. Gen 2+ is the most affordable way into true image-intensified night vision, and Level 1 is AGM’s entry grade, chosen for value rather than top-end resolution. Green phosphor is the traditional night vision look, and the eye is very sensitive to that color, so detail stands out well under moonlight and starlight.
AGM FoxBat-5 NL1 Bi-Ocular Overview
The FoxBat-5 is built for watching at distance. A single image intensifier tube feeds a beam splitter and two eyepieces, so you watch with both eyes open, which is far more comfortable than a monocular over a long sit. The distributor lists a large 140mm objective, a 9.4 degree field of view, a length of about 11 inches and a weight of about 2.35 pounds.
It runs on AA batteries, and the distributor lists up to about 40 hours of runtime (AGM’s own copy quotes up to 80 hours, so the real figure depends on IR use and temperature). Fast multi-coated optics and a bright-light shut-off that protects the tube round out the package.
Image Intensifier Tube
The NL1 configuration is the part of this listing that sets it apart from other FoxBat-5 versions: a Gen 2+ tube with green phosphor. Note: photos show the FoxBat-5 housing, which is identical across tube options.
AGM grades its tubes by resolution and image cleanliness. For the exact resolution, figure of merit and blemish specification of the tube in this unit, check the AGM datasheet or ask us before you order.
Controls and Features
A detachable infrared illuminator adds light at distance in total darkness, and the eyepieces adjust for diopter from -5 to +5. The body has a tripod mount, and AGM includes a tripod so you can glass a field or feeder for hours without arm fatigue.
At 5x this is an observation tool rather than a navigation device. It is well suited to watching game trails, checking livestock, wildlife study and property security from a fixed position.
What Is Included
The box includes the night vision bi-ocular, detachable IR illuminator, tripod, lens cloth, hard case and user manual.
Who Benefits Most
This version suits first-time night vision buyers, hog and predator hunters on a budget, and landowners who want a dependable image-intensified device for checking fields and fence lines without paying Gen 3 prices.
Honest Limitations
At 5x the field of view is narrow, so it is not meant for walking or driving, and any hand shake is magnified, which is why the tripod matters. The single tube means there is no true stereo depth.
It is larger and heavier than a 1x goggle. Night vision image intensifiers are export-controlled and sold for use within the United States. Check AGM’s current warranty terms before you buy.
