foggy11 1 Posted October 4, 2014 Report Share Posted October 4, 2014 Hi guys I need a little advice on a night vision set up! I was looking at some today but they are all about £450 plus and thats a little steep for me so was looking into making my own up with a video camera.. has anyone of you helpful chaps got any good advice and help on this matter? I only need it to be as far as say 100yrds tops as its for a air rifle! Thanks for reading my post folks.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jonno1968 5 Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 I keep being told not to go cheap. I think second hand you might be able to get a decent set up. By the time ypu have adapted your video camera you will have spent a few quid and it may not work. Go for a try before you buy. It might not suit you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
treecreeper 1,136 Posted October 5, 2014 Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 I would agree to try one before you buy as the screen doesn't suit everyone but that applys the same to any screen set up not just home rigs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jacko338 0 Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 Hi mate I use a yukon photon on my s410 the retail is £400 but I got mine for £360 not cheap still really but cheap for nv. And with an air rifle the built in illuminator is plenty good enough. And being digital there's no worries about damaging photocathodes or whatever it is in image intensifier tubes. I honestly can't rate it enough. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
