Hi Guys, havnt been on here a while, good to be back. Thought Id share my night vision setup. As I cant afford the thousands of pounds for a decent nightscope I thought Id set up one with my camcorde

thanks tony, i think youres will be better cos the one i put up doesnt swivell side to side? i dont think all the cameras have the screw thread holes in the same position? mine is a finepix jx and the hole is to the far right which would be a problem i think?

some good bits of kit there lads, is there nobody in the UK making these for the airgun market? im guessing these would be very popular at the right price. would this kind of setup work ok on my webley stingray? i only ask as i think the picture would be all over the place with the spring action.

Scramble,

you could use it with a springer, but looking at Ted's video's the camera shudders when he releaes the shot on his PCP, so yes the images would certainly be allover the place, but only while the gun finishes its recoil cycle. You would (well I should imagine) see the quarry fall over fairly clearly.

I also own a springer, so when I have the mount, I'll attatch the camera's to it and give it a go :)

here you go bud http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Seben-DKA2-digital-camera-camcorder-adapter-PC-USB-/330497289557#ht_4713wt_1270

 

i used to use one but found it dropped a little so was forever pushing it back up,and to be honest a bit of yube does just the same job and it simply pulls of when u dont want it on ;)

I have the tube adaptor that Si (Zini) made, its great, but got damaged, I remade it with epoxy resin and it was great for the scope that Si started off with (it may not be a grands worth but it's bomb proof), I fitted the adaptor to my Leupold MK4 and the wight of the camera knocked the eyebell assembly slightly out, causing massive Paralax and focus error causing the pellets to go flying to the right by almost a foot at 40 yards! Thank feck lead is softer than marble headstones! or I'd have had to use the insurance!

So for this scope I want a mount that will grip the tube or the outside of the eyebell without touching the focus ring :)

Hence my search for Teds set up :D

Once xmas is out of the way I've got a serious purchase list to work through, 1st being my FAC :D

Interesting thread! :D

 

I really can't see it working too well on most springers though, if only because the cameras aren't made to cope with repeated sudden shocks and I don't think the rig would have enough time to settle down to give a good final image. Could be wrong though, be interesting to find out :hmm:

Yup, thats why I want one Daz, it will mount externally to all the scopes I have without damaging any of them.

 

I got a packet through the door today from the States, it was an Apollo 11 Comemerative Medalion, went to thank the lady and remembered I have actually ordered a mount that will sit on top of the scope, Not bothered like it only cost pennies, surdy enough to mount to a downhill mountainbike and looks bombproof. I can use my ex wifes Sony for a wider shot on top if the scope and do pic in pic like Si and I did in Germany earlier this year.
