You hear something rustling in your backyard. Strange shadows pass by your window. Maybe it’s just a raccoon … or something far more interesting. Whether you love a good mystery or secretly believe in aliens, these night-vision binoculars will give you a perfect glimpse of whatever lurks beyond. But infrared capabilities aren’t the only cool feature of this gadget. If you spot a trash panda raiding your garbage cans—or an extraterrestrial being—you can take HD photos or videos with the binoculars. Now that warmer weather is just a blink away, we’re running a 50 percent sale on these binoculars with a built-in camera, meaning you can grab a pair for only $79.97 instead of $159.99. But hurry—these are hot gadgets and can sell out fast! Let’s talk specs Unlike old, clunky binoculars, these are only four inches long and fit right in your pocket. Whether you’re scouting the wilderness or relaxing on the porch, they don’t occupy too much space. Plus, digital binoculars offer many advantages over the traditional design. Instead of squinting through tiny eyepieces and constantly having to adjust, simply view wildlife (and E.T.) through the 2.4-inch HD screen.  You also have 4x digital zoom that lets you see up to 1,000 feet away, even in complete darkness. Don’t forget the obvious perk of being able to snap 12MP photos and record 1080p videos. Everything you capture is saved to the included memory card for easy sharing. So, you know, if you capture some rare UFO footage, you can easily share it on YouTube. Grab a pair of infrared binoculars for $79.97 (reg. $159.99) before we sell out.
