pestcontrol121 11 Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 (edited) The Kite was built to kill people not vermin so with the chevron ret and parallex issue on most Kites its hard to place the shot on a rabbit or fox size target past 100yards. They make very good spotters and can make a very good weapon sight but usually alot of money needs to be spent on them to correct the parallex and replace the chevron ret to a dutch ret, i know one person that does repairs on the kite as its a bit of a specialised job and certain tools are needed. Most Kites are sold as gen 3 but turn out to be 25 year old gen 2 EEV tubes so be careful, second/hand price is around £1000 to £2500 depending on spec and model. Hope this helps.

72line per 21 Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 As above , I have been offered one and wonder what they are worth. I would think it would be gen 3.

You might see a fox at 400 yards on a good night and on a field like a golf course with out any IR but when you start telling people it was raining and misty i don't dismiss the fact you have a good bit of kit but no need to over exaggerate its performance because if it was that good it means you are stating you have a piece of NV kit thats better than what the USA military are using ( i have built a bino kite for spotting nothing beats it i have compered it to my pvs7s and my pvs14s ) if this is the case then maybe you should contact the UK military or the USA military and explain to them where they are going wrong Quote Link to post Share on other sites
72line per 21 Posted October 16, 2011 Report Share Posted October 16, 2011 (edited) the bino kite is built for the military its just you can't get your hand on them easily they are for spotting the enemy without ir.every thing i posted was true you couldn't use an ir with this unit even if you wished to. and yes starlight help me put the unit together. i have known Julian for over 10 years the first time i met him was when i went to see him with night hunter . dont dismiss my post until you have actually looked thru it im no body's fool when it comes to night vision ive owned or used about ever night vision device there is. and i do agree with you. you will need ir light in some condition but you will burn the tube with this unit no matter which ir light you use. pleas do come to the nightvision meeting and look for your self before you dismiss my post as i have said . i have been running these night vision meeting's for 6 years now there is a night vision tube out there that can see thru fog easily its called the omni 7 Edited October 16, 2011 by 72line per Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The omni 7 is a good tube but CANNOT see in the fog and for someone that has owed every night vision unit you do talk some crap, this might be why you have been kicked off most of the forms, i've had 6 emails about you and only been on here for 5 minutes As for knowing Julian for over 10 years well we all have our problems, i see the bino kite is built for the military and you can't get you're hand on them , this must be a miss print http://www.hellotrad...binoculars.html by julian Carry on doing your night vision meets as you might learn something Edited October 17, 2011 by Nightman Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hope this helps. kites if set up correct with the right tube are more than capable just use the centre dot on small stuff.does not cost much to correct parallax issues if you know who to ask also you can have them set to focus up close quality robust scope with brill optic's just say hi to all Quote Link to post Share on other sites
