Jackbullx 12 Posted March 5, 2017 Report Share Posted March 5, 2017 Hi I was just looking through YouTube and on one video I noticed some men using what looked like a heat sensitive camera or night vision, just wondered if anybody was using this technology ? 1 Quote Link to post

LaddyLurcher 261 Posted March 6, 2017 Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 Night vision spotter. The general idea is you can see the quarry with out shining a lamp, get into position then stick lamp on and slip dog. It will probably get you more runs when your after lamp shy quarry but may not be everybody's cup of tea. Quote Link to post
Jackbullx 12 Posted March 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 If I'm honest it seems like it takes away the whole idea of lamping doesn't seem like there will be much of a chase no excitement Quote Link to post
LaddyLurcher 261 Posted March 6, 2017 Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 They still put the lamp on and slip the dog when in position so you still get the chase ect so it's still technically lamping. When they give the dog night vision glasses and you don't need a lamp that's when I'll pack in! 3 Quote Link to post
bunnyboiler 1,054 Posted March 6, 2017 Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 The places I go are lamped to f**k so to speak as soon as the lamp goes on the fields for miles are emptied so I invested in thermal night vision and bingo I've caught a lot more quarry than I would with out it and you can see exactly where everything is and where it's running to Quote Link to post

Wild-Bill 500 Posted March 6, 2017 Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 Seen it be used a few times no thinks it's bang on for lamp shy quarry. You spot with it and then put lamp on. Lot less conspicuous to use aswell in hot area as there is no where no as much lamping going on, only when running. Quote Link to post
bunnyboiler 1,054 Posted March 6, 2017 Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 how much was it bunnieboiler? £3000 mate I brought the pulsar xq50 £1200 down and the rest 12 monthly payments brilliant bit of kit the lamp only goes on when your up on your quarry also you can see if there's anything in the surrounding fields Quote Link to post

dog man 176 Posted March 6, 2017 Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 All depends what you are after I use IGen NV 20/20 you can video with it or just us it for night vision very good look it up on ytube I brought it home from America a few years back when I was over for a holiday. Quote Link to post
Igz 1,456 Posted March 6, 2017 Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 Can't beat the xq 50 great bit of kit, yes its a little expensive but like bunny boiler says if areas you go are lamped to fxxk then it's well worth it and it can also save your bacon as lamp only needed when running your quarry.

Obviously you got lamp dog and then trying to spot through a monocular? Quote Link to post
low plains drifter 10,756 Posted March 6, 2017 Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 What sort of range have they got ? Quote Link to post
Jackbullx 12 Posted March 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 I didn't realise they was this popular and like you say for somewhere that is hot they are ideal, worth investing then ? 3000 is a bit out of my price range to be honest can you recommend any lower range ones or is it worth shelling out big bucks for these type of things Quote Link to post
