Sweeney-Todd 208 Posted January 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Hiya Si. Cheers mate, Iooking forward to trying it out. This new unit your testing sounds like the mutts nuts, and if its as cheap, and good as you say, it will do very well. I like this particular unit, because I wear glasses all the time, so its simplicity in itself using the NS200, for me anyway. I did look at the Pulsar N550 last year, but I must say, personaly, I think the image quality of the NS200 is by far the better of the two. Also looked at the add on's but felt I would have the same problems with my glasses. So not only am I left handed.....Im ferkin blind too Good luck with the trials, and sales of the Nite-Hunter product, Im sure it will be a nice bit of kit when it comes out. ATB. Bill. All fair and good points Bill and like I said, I really wish you all the best pal. I wish I had the same unit in my kit as the NS200 buddy, to tell you the truth I'm a little envious of you pal as it does look a sexy bit of kit. If it suits you and your happy with it then its a great deal pal so good luck and go whack them rats . Thanks for wishing us the best with the other trials. ATB Si. Hi Si. Thanks again mate, and yes its a sexy bit of kit.......I think it was thje black rubber tube that did it for me :laugh: The only problem I can think of, is being able to see to read the instructions ATB.

Sweeney-Todd 208 Posted January 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Hi Bill, you kept that quiet Buddy, even in the greenhouse the other night testing the nite hunter.com ir300 you said nowt. We'll sort zummit when the weather impoves, cheers mucker, atb Rich Hi Rich. As you know, I was thinking about getting the Pulsar N550 last year, but with my glasses, I thought better of it. Only made my mind up yesterday on the nitesite NS200, and I am now glad I went that route. Easy to use and see, I think it will be a great addition to the kit mate. Weather looks bad tomorrow, but yes, we will sort somthing out soon. ATB. Bill hi bill I will give you a tip here regarding the Nite site,if you can get your self some filter plastic "like they use to use in the disco lights" and cut to size over the screen,this will not make your figure stand out so bright in the field! unless they have already done it for you! regards Davy Hi Davey. Thanks for the thought mate , already in hand, sexy red too I have read about the effects of glare on the face from other user's of the NS200. But they all say the same, it does not bother the bunnies or rats what so ever. Will not hurt to try a filter on the screen though, be easier on the night vision too. I use a face veil in day light, so it wouldnt hurt to wear one at night, that would cure the glare too. When you think we still get kills using bright lights while lamping, I dont think a little glow will bother them too much. ATB. Bill. hi bill nice one but before you put the face vail on, take off that fooking mask!!!!! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: good luck buddy Davy You utter BITCH..... :laugh: Quote Link to post

torchey 1,325 Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Superb units was shooting with the ns200 the other night, happily spotting rabbits at 200 yards or so and shooting out to 90 yards. Fantastic bit of technology, no point messing around with crappy video cameras and Boged mounts. If you do a lot of night shooting these are the business. Liam They must have come on leaps and bounds since september then, i tried one out and couldn,t see a person at 200 yards let alone a rabbit.. Quote Link to post
lksopener 105 Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 You can't have been using it right then! Quote Link to post
torchey 1,325 Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 You can't have been using it right then! or maybe you don,t know how far 200 yards is???we got a meeting one evening outside their tent at the midland game fair, four of us went out with there best unit and there is no way what so ever your shooting rabbits at 200 yards unless they have altered them since we went out....

zini 1,939 Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 (edited) This is footage taken from a Sony Handycam, the one Davy is going to buy. I was with the lad when he filmed it, you can hear me in the back ground trying to locate it with my own camera (to film only). This is at 60 to 70 yards in the pitch black at a pond in Sheffield. The new Nite - Hunter digital add on is this kind of quality but in a digital picture, i.e like a Pulsar picture but at 200 plus yards. The picture i looked at at 300 yards of a car parked and a sign was crystal clear. Watch at about 1 minute 36 secs when i turn on my IR300 to half power, it makes night into day.

Sweeney-Todd 208 Posted January 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Nice bit of kit ST, will you be doing a review on it Hiya Stealthy. Went to pick up the Nitesite this morning. I arrived at the shop, and the owner was waiting, with the unit in its case on the counter......... huge grin on his face. He ussured me out the back and was clearly excited to tell me all about the NS200. He had a shooting friend there with him, both these guys are using the Nitesite, and both are over the moon with the quality, and clarity of the image. The build quality is very good indeed, all casings are made from ABS plastic, so tough and light too. One of the guys was using the NS50, and he reckoned he could see out to 70yds......20 yds past the distance stated, so the unit has been very fairly classified by the makers I would say. Anyway.....I got the NS200 home and sat down with a coffee to read the instructions, nothing too complicated ( thank goodness ) After reading, I put the bits on the scope, switched it on, and was truly amazed at the picture quality, like looking at the telly colour in daylight too........brilliant Inside the camera unit, where it attaches to the tube on the scope, there is like a tiny lens housing, this focuses the reticule by 1/4 turns, jobs a good un, a quick tweak of the parralax, and spot on picture. The battery is a tad on the heavey side, but I have ordered two lighter ones to retro fit. The guys in the shop are using the Debon Lithium batteries on theirs, nice and light. Got the battery on charge now, and I am looking forward to having a play when darkness falls. Hopefully I will be able to confirm, or dispell the claims of 200yd reach. From what I have seen so far, I am very pleased and impressed More to follow ATB. Bill. Quote Link to post

The set up your using is a lot better imo than the other set up .The difference is the ir, on the ns gear its more of a flood than a spot Quote Link to post

optelic2 48 Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 I missed the Nitesite demonstration at my local gunshop but the owner was good enough to lend me the shops ns200 demo unit which ive been using for the past week. I currently use a sony handycam/n1000 i.r laser set up but after using the ns200 for a week i want one! I really like the heads up shooting position with the ns200 its much easier scanning for rabbits than looking through the cam/scope set up. The field of view is also much better than the camcorder/scope. You also use the scope's zoom with the ns200 rather than the camcorder zoom. The only other set up i considered was the n550 but at almost twice the cost it was a no no. The fact that the 550 is also a dedicated unit also put me off. Where as with the ns200 i can very quickly change between my fac rapid, rimmie and sub 12ft lb ultra. Just to add the only real downside imo is the brightness of the screen which could be dimmed using a gel filter (although in use this didnt seem to bother the rabbits). Just my view on the ns200 lads hope it helps out anyone who is considering this excellent piece of kit. Quote Link to post
