kruby01 114 Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 Looking into making a night vision set up I was just wondering if anyone can help out with a successful product list please? Thanks Billy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ghillies 209 Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 (edited) easiest route is a cam with at least 0.001 lux 0.01 on wards bare minimum. 'ir capable' 12 or 16mm lens for the cam. 'ir pass' not block. some box for the cam if needed, posably a tube for the box to dsa. poxy resin glue one torch in the IR veriaty. one mount for the torch. ebay 6800mah battery or 4800..cameras dont take that much neather do screens to run but you need enough power to last out. 1 reversing screen..about 15 quid some rubber tube or some such DSA (day scope adapter) and a power jack cable with two plugs one end ...and gaffer tape in case all else fails lol. http://www.nightvisionforumuk.com/index.php Edited May 7, 2013 by ghillies Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kruby01 114 Posted May 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 Thats an interesting way to mount the camera. Thanks for that mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GEOFF.223 83 Posted May 12, 2013 Report Share Posted May 12, 2013 Thats an interesting way to mount the camera. Thanks for that mate Its the fastest simplest way i have seen as its weaver quick release it only takes seconds to attach and there's no messing with finding centre of scope as the scope is centre of the mount and rail runs parallel. Going to attach everything to rail, monitor battery camera and cable's so it will be one bolt to loosen off the weaver mount and everything will come off at once Quote Link to post Share on other sites
