Description
The AGM FoxBat-8 NL1 Bi-Ocular (AGM item 13F8P822153211, UPC 850038039813) is an 8x night vision bi-ocular for 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-8 NL1 Bi-Ocular Overview
The FoxBat-8 is AGM’s long-range bi-ocular. A compact catadioptric objective lens gathers light, and a single image intensifier tube feeds a beam splitter and two eyepieces, so you watch with both eyes open over a long sit. The distributor lists an 8x magnification, a 4.5 degree field of view, a length of about 8.5 inches and a weight of about 3.9 pounds.
Two AA batteries run it for up to about 40 hours of continuous use. Fast multi-coated optics and a high-light shut-off that protects the tube from over-exposure round out the package.
Image Intensifier Tube
The NL1 configuration is the part of this listing that sets it apart from other FoxBat-8 versions: a Gen 2+ tube with green phosphor. Note: photos show the FoxBat-8 housing, which is shared 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, which is close to essential at 8x.
This is a dedicated observation tool for perimeter watching, wildlife study and checking far field edges, not a device for walking or driving.
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 8x the field of view is very narrow and every bit of hand shake is magnified, so plan to use the tripod. The single tube means there is no true stereo depth.
At close to 4 pounds it is a sizable unit to carry. Night vision image intensifiers are export-controlled and sold for use within the United States. Check AGM’s current warranty terms before you buy.
