I was wondering with the night vision on the 550 will the brightness change even without the nightvision monocular not there because im not going to be using a night vision system but I like the versitilaty of the brightness levels but if it doesnt change except when you have a NVS then it wouldnt be worth getting the 550. Am I wrong? Thanks

FWIW, the lower settings on the 510-series are compatable with Gen I & II NV, it's only when you get to Gen III and above that the special NV setting of the 550 series comes into play.

I have a 552, and it has it's whole range of normal brightness settings that you change with the up and down arrow.  Then when you hit the NV button it goes into nightvision mode and has another range of settings, all of which are much too dim to see (the very brightest NV setting is faintly visible to the naked eye in a completely dark room).  Then when you hit the NV button again it should go back to your last normal mode setting.

I wouldn't pay for the 550 series if you aren't going to use the NV.

yeah that was my point. So I should get the 511 cause NV feature is useless for me since im not useing NV. right? or does it have other features that I dont know about? BTW guys thanks for all your help.
