newbie wanting ideas and advice

Post by nighthawk38 » 04 Jan 2014, 15:40

Hello to all,im currently looking to build my own night vision set up hopefully using a two cameras with switching channels on one monitor or wrap around goggles if anyone has pointers or ideas id be very grateful,am also looking at building a hand held device with night vision,im on a tight budget and think total build for hand held could be done for as little as under £100 this is a p8079 hp intensifier with a 50mm lens and cheap eye piece plus some other bits i can source for free.This is my only idea as this ive seen works quiet well id like a smaller set up really IDEAS Peoples ?.........

The hardest part to find for the Cascade spotter is the eyepiece. They can be had here at the moment:
