In combat: Macrobinoculars or Night vision goggles. They're the only ones that don't produce active emissions.

Ordinary conditions: Star Wars type personal scanners.

I think the macros. Good zoom, easy to use, small and easily shoved in a pocket.

macro binocs cause it won't give away my position the only drawback is its only good for line-of-site use.

But certainly better than having artillery called down on your position.

None of the above, I'd want one of those Sony video cameras that let you see through people's clothes, and then go the a britney spears concert.

Maybe if you set marcobinoculars high enough. Or the night vision goggles.

Yes, but I doubt the codings for macros are compatible with modern VHS or digital media systems, and Night vision doesn't record. And since stafge two of my plan is to get rich by selling the videos to tabloids and porn companies, that would put a major crimp in my plans.

No. I'd rather go see Shakira than Britney. *drool*

Marcoboincs are bascily realy good regular bonics(zooming, range-finder, built in distant measurer)

However the Tricoder is literly a Swiss Army Knife of stuff

However consider it as a Work avoidance device

Simply give your boss a Pin of Titanium or any other-notypical metal then have the Tricoder constantly scanning for that pin and thus have an exact location of him at all times

Or just patent the thing and make millions

There is a simular system in the military for a military licence.

The PVS 7b had horrible perception problems, but I never used them constantly like that. On patrols we would use them every checkpoint or cases were we thought we had contact but couldn't be sure. If you were going to use them while driving, you should have had the right seater use them and the driver use the cat's eyes or black out lights.

personally i'd stick with the Macrobinoculars

They have built in night vision
They have built in IR imaging
They have zoom capable of seeing a space battle in obit of a planet(and that was only a civi model!)
Gives me range and bearing too

None of the above

FLIR goggles with a laser range finder. I also want a helmet mounted LASAR and millimeter radar.
