The pen feels and looks like a high quality pen. It writes well too. The camera quality is in HD, and everything comes out very clear. The audio is surprisingly clear as well. Activating the recording is easy with a push of a button on top of the pen. What could be easier? The only slight draw back I can see is twisting the pen on to write. It's not in the middle, but near the very tip. This means, anyone picking the pen up could unscrew and find what's inside - so just wanted to warn you there. Simply keep it in your possession at all times and you'll be alright there.

ATN Viper Night Vision Goggle
PRODUCT FEATURESProduct Description
Ideal for surveillance, hunting fishing, etc. See what the kids are doing while parked out in your drive-way at night - keep 'em honest like Mr. Frocker would. The ATN Viper expandable goggle system makes it easy to see in the dark while keeping your hands free for activities. The first-generation, high-resolution night-vision unit features a magnification ratio of 1x, but offers the option of expanding to 4x or 8x. More significantly, the unit is extremely versatile: you can use it for hands-free activities such as fishing or paintball, as a compact monocular, or attach it to a camera for nighttime photography. And even though ATN outfitted the Viper with a heavy-coated glass lens, the company managed to keep the weight down to only 9 ounces.
The Viper fits around your head via a comfortable fabric strap, which includes both forehead and chin pads for security. The goggle itself, meanwhile, offers such features as a built-in IR illuminator, an automatic brightness control, an adjustable eyepiece, a manual focus system, and single-switch button operation. An excellent alternative to night-vision binoculars, the Viper is water-and dust-resistant and comes with a soft case.
