pestcontrol121 11 Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 As above is good or the N1000 ir laser is good , owners say it can be grainy but I found it good as long as the beam is kept at a good size. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Neils 1 Posted March 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 Thanks for the advice guys, ive hot an n1000 on it at the mo and it has a few "fish eye" marks, its definatly the laser as when i use just it with no illumination on a moonlit night the picture is clear as a bell, i do like the laser tho as its small and light Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Give it a really good clean, once done find a bit of hard foam piping that fits over the front lens, this will keep the rain and the oil that's on your fingers off the lens The amount of lasers I've seen with finger prints on the front lens where people adjust the beam.

dicehorn 38 Posted March 12, 2014 Report Share Posted March 12, 2014 (edited) I switched from Archer's laser to the Nightmaster IR for three reasons. 1. Fisheyes - on the nightmaster just a quick wipe of of water rather than having to give up with and go home to sort it. 2. I did have several foxes that upon having the laser put on, made a dash for it and were immediately gone. 3. In my opinion the nightmaster gives better definition at long distances Edited March 12, 2014 by dicehorn 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rimmer 33 Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 Nightmaster is a great bit of kit i use it on an n750 absolutely fantastic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PLEDGEY 496 Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 Got a Starlight Archer and it had a Firefly I/R. Had same problem with the water marks. Switched for a Nightmaster 800I/R.The image is so much clearer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
