5 Steps: How To Use It
- First, adjust its pivot or central hinge until it matches the distance between your eyes and you only see a single image.
- Choose an object to focus on.
- Cover the right lens and turn the focus dial until the image is sharp.
- Cover the left lens and turn the diopter until the image is sharp, too.
- Look through the binoculars with both eyes. The image should be perfectly sharp. If it isn’t as sharp as you wanted it to be, all you have to do is to adjust the central focus wheel to get a sharper image at different distances.

Dependable Design
The Creative XP GlassOwl night vision binocular is completely waterproof, making it an ideal partner in hunting, even during rainy or foggy days. It also comes with a rubber coating on its casing, ensuring an easy and tight grip—with or without gloves on. And for further protection, it also comes with a neck strap that would protect it from accidentally falling, making it break.
Viewing Screen
The Creative XP Binocular features a 4-inch TFT viewing screen, making it easy to view photos instantly, even with glasses. Its 2X digital zoom or 3.5-7X optical zoom also adds another advantage as it allows shooters to see even up to 1300 feet away.

Infrared Illuminator
Based on our Creative XP Digital Night Vision Binocular review, this binocular comes with a built-in 850nm IR illuminator, promising a 1300 ft or 433 yards of detection range, even during night time. It also has a No Glow IR Illuminator that lets you see more while remaining hidden with no external light needed.
The clear advantages of IR illuminators are that they allow night vision to function with no visible light on the scene and are a relatively inexpensive way to drastically improve the sensitivity of a device. For many use-cases, IR illuminators are an integral tool to include when heading out for the night. [1]
Compatibility
While binoculars are good to go as long as it already has a neck strap anti-slip handles, using tripods is still an excellent choice. Tripods offer superb stability as well as the ability to be used hands-free. Thankfully, the Creative XP Night Vision Binocular is compatible with Bushnell or Sightmark tripods. So, mounting it on a tripod shouldn’t be a problem.

Customer Reviews
“The night vision was so clear and crisp. I could see a hundred yards away as easily as I can see the house next door. I played with them for about 4 hours. The next night I played with them for about 2.5 hours, and the battery life was still going strong.”
“I have never liked binoculars that much because they are not easy to see through for someone who wears glasses. These are made so that glasses are not a hindrance. I love the design of these binoculars, and they appear to be very high quality.”
“I am a United States Army veteran. I served in the Vietnam war as a recon scout. We had a starlight binoculars night vision that cost several thousand dollars, it was hard to look through and focus, and it ruined your night vision in one eye. I wish I would’ve had this Creative XP night vision binocular in Vietnam.”
