Nite Tek T20 - Are They All Crap?

[danw 1,748]

How are you lads mounting these T20 torches, an adjustable mount?

yeah mine are on weaver adjustable mounts http://www.taclight.co.uk/acatalog/Fully_Adjustable_Rail_Mount.html

Will these not work??Bit cheaper

[danw 1,748]

that would be fine for mounting a torch to a scope but it wouldn't mount a torch to a weaver rail

The three Nite tek t20's I have work great with my Photon and gen2 addons.

Could well be that your camera is "crap",performance won't just be the ir,there are a few other factors such as camera,scope and outside conditions.

It would have been better to contact Mark in the first instance before starting this thread,at least then you could eliminate any possible problems with your bullet cam,batteries etc before blaming the ir.

As for the red filter....is it an ir filter or just plain 'red' filter,if it's the latter then yes that would work better with any cam than an ir light.

I'm in contact via email with Mark and he is very helpful.

Camera is fine, i was experimenting for the fun of it on the rimmy as fancied seeing if it would work and if it was usable at range but more importantly, whether it worked for me looking at a screen rather than through a scope.

So it proved a point that i prefer the scope so am now looking at using the t20 with a yukon photon for the rimmy.

Take your point though - maybe the post title was a bit harsh.

Wasn't having a go at you personally hutchy,strange though the results your getting with the T20,I think mark did do a few for the photon owners using a less powerful oslon black led,now I think he just use's a 3 power mode driver with the 'stacked' version of the oslon black.

Just out of interest what bullet camera are you using?

[hutchey 147]

It's a sony ej230

It's a sony ej230

I'm even more surprised at your findings now,I thought the ej230 is one of the better cams out there....albeit after a bit of adjustment within the camera's menu,can't understand the lack of distance tbh,other's seem to do well with this cam.

True indeed, checked the settings etc. all trouble points to the batteries so will get some new ones as per above and test again.

There are a lot of dodgy batteries out there tbh,I have xtar and blue ultrafires....the xtar perform better.

I use a ej230 and a t20, getting a good 150-200m in good conditions.
