All honesty I have been very impressed with the entire set up as a whole. I did buy a kit from them all in all definitely works well. I will say the only downside I have found is the helmet padding is weird and wearing it for more than 2hrs the front band tends to dig into your forehead a bit , but easy fix with some foam. The NVG30 works super well for what it is I’ve been using it to bobcat and coyote hunt at night and all in all it’s awesome has plenty of life works very well. Now going to the KIJI K1 yes it works just as well and yes it takes the batteries that it says , I ran it for about 3 hours straight and it was super easy and put out great light for the NV set up I was using along with good battery life. All in all it’s a great set up . I am very exited to eventually try out the NVG50 down the road.

The product claims to take cr123a batteries in the description but those batteries do not fit in the housing. I have no idea what batteries are compatible with this model.
