I spend a lot of time late at night for astrophotography, whether it’s with my iPhone 17 Pro or smart telescopes like the Dwarf 3. Both devices are fantastic in their own right, but one of the coolest gadgets I’ve tested last year combines the best features of phones and telescopes.
The Cigman CNVPRO is a pair of night vision binoculars that lets me see in complete darkness, much like the Akaso Seemor 200 I’ve previously tested. But this newer device performs much better, thanks in part to its 7-layer coated spherical glass lenses. Not only does the CNVPRO let me see in complete darkness with exceptional clarity, but it also makes it feel like I’m using a telescope with a versatile zoom.
