This is meant to attach to the port on some models of I-phones and android phones. Both models have the same sensor at 206 X 156 resolution. The $250 model has a 36 degree field of view with a 1000 foot range. The $300 model has a 20 degree field of view with an 1800 foot range.

Has anybody used one of these? If so, is it any good for scouting hogs at night? My thinking is that trying to view hogs 300 to 600 yards away on the screen on my android phone would not give me an image I could use very well. If the target was a lot closer - well maybe it would be useful. I would feel like a dork pointing my cell phone at a suspect patch of land in the dark, in any event. The "Think Geek" folks say it is useful for finding the coldest bottle of beer in the fridge, but I have been pretty successful in doing that for 50 years with out a device like this.
