Anyone tried one? $30. If so how’s the IR?

It works well in IR.
I put it in front of my yard over 300 feet and I can see it on the Nods.

Not Somogear, but I got Chinese copy of a Helstar 6 off Amazon for $30. First one was a dud. Amazon sent me a second one that works.
Whatever you get, just make sure to test it soon after you get it, so you can get a replacement if needed.
