mickeyfn19 16 Posted January 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 its not really all that cheap though. im looking to keep the screen battery pack and camera around the £40 mark. what is it about the camera that makes it bad? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
weebster 17 Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 (edited) its not really all that cheap though. im looking to keep the screen battery pack and camera around the £40 mark. what is it about the camera that makes it bad? .... ....from what I've read about the camera you've linked to it's hard to make out exactly what type and size sensor it is but to point out a couple of downfalls.... Not suitable to pal....not really a big problem as most screens cater for both usa/uk region formats 130 degree lens would give you a great image of the inside of your scope,whether you could change the lens is something you would have to ask the seller The biggest pitfall is it's a reversing camera so the image it sends to your screen may well be a mirror image....like looking in your rear view mirror at an object at the rear of your car....some of these cams are made that way,others have an inbuilt menu to change from normal to mirror but I doubt very much there is any 'menu' settings with this cam. And if you do manage to build something that works as well as the 'cheapy' cam for £40 all in please post it on here,there will be a few hundred other's wanting to know the parts required Edited January 6, 2014 by weebster Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikigough 1 Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 will you be selling your cam's, if so what will the price be?. Mickey. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mickeyfn19 16 Posted January 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 sorry mate, i had literally just sold it before i sore this post. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mickeyfn19 16 Posted January 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 what factors should i look for. obviously i want a 1/3" ccd or cmos. and this camera needs to be decent quality with ir capabilities. is there anything else i should look for in a camera.

mickeyfn19 16 Posted January 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 also, do i need a larger lense or could i use the standard 6mm? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mickeyfn19 16 Posted January 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 what about this. top dog? http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Best-Price-Genuine-Sony-960H-Effio-E-700TVL-Waterproof-Mini/731460765.html?s=p Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Have a look on the pigeon watch forum under the diy section,bloke called evo has done a fair bit with these types of camera and will no doubt point you in the right direction,although sadly I doubt it will come in at £40! Loads of budget builds on here in the nv section as well http://www.airgunforum.co.uk/forums/forum.php Edited January 7, 2014 by weebster Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikigough 1 Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 Sorry mickeyfn19, its was actionman that said he had a couple of camcorders left for a rainy day,lol. I'm looking for one to try the diy nv, but after reading these forums does make you want to buy all the parts and have a go at making your own. Mickey Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mickeyfn19 16 Posted January 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 so far, all parts from good ol' china its going to come to around £42 inc p+p. of course i already have a converter cree q5. tested it with my cctv camera and seems to work well. very strong at about 50 yards with tight beam, i mean it washes out at that range. and i see miki. why not good for what im doing. i could send you the list of parts and the price.
