Hi all just got a yukon photon and love it first dive into nv a lamping man for years but this is a revelation to me! So got the doubler and t20(not tried yet) but thinking of a camera to add any ideas what to get and how to mount it?thanks for looking ps love this site but I'm afraid it's mostly way over my head yet lol

Hi Mark,
iv'e got the same set up as you and I'm more than happy with it for the type of shooting I do (rats rabbits sub 12ftlb, occasional Charlie rimmy). I use an angel eye dvr with pretty good results. My dvr is mounted on top of the doubler in a digital camera hard case using a Velcro strap, case was £1 from poundland , same with Velcro. The t20 makes a massive difference, perhaps a bit too much ir for shorter ranges but I believe some blokes ir torches are doing the business up to 100 yds , they're both cheap enough to try out and knock the b@ll@cks off the £180 units (or as good as, with £120 change ). The dvr is easy enough to use if you overlook the poor cables /jack plugs etc. Iv'e managed to get mine uploaded to the computer but can't figure out the movie maker yet ( job in progress) so I cant show you any footage but theres plenty on the hunting/ shooting thread. Hope this helps, have fun....

Plenty of discussion threads on DVRs to read through.
The Angel Eye is cheap and cheaply made. But you can buy three for the price of the Yukon product.

Yep, you're right about the angel eye as I found out to my expense!, but not bad results when I eventually got there. I will be upgrading my dvr unit shortly but can't make my mind up which to get. All the mini dvr units seem to look the same and have the same specs just wearing a different badge and price ( nearly £100 difference in some cases).
