mad al 146 Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 My mate uses a hand held NV bought in Lidl and I have to say that's it's brilliant does the same job as the one I used to own costing nearly £700 , so I'd say buy one while they are still available.............Al :thumbs-up: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stubby 175 Posted December 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 took the plunge and put mself in a bit more debt aint plastic great although not have any permission for night shoots YET, I felt it was worth £99 by the replies from others and would rather get it now, than wait and not get one in time so just trying it in the garden and Im well impressed looking out with the naked eye vison to about half way, flick the unit on and I can see the ferts at bottom of garden, flick the IR on and its like standing there with a torch, yet as others have said, the rabbits/rats wont see you dunno if it will work with recharables as it says to use heavy duty akaline, but still worth the money Quote Link to post Share on other sites
