Hello Dave & Welcome

Plenty of info on here to help with your build

welcome aboard

on a budget
cam to scope...waste pipe..or pulsar dsa 40 quid

screen to scope....bits of ally strip are your friend

.....adam

You could try using 2 upside down scope clamps and a length of weaver rail.
This keeps the camera firmly fixed in the right position behind the scope
These pics should give you the idea Cheers

Thanks Bruce, nice set up, while sorting workshop out i found an old led down lighter form my sharps bedroom fitters kit, the ally case was perfect for mounting the camera to a flip up scope cover and it it is the perfect distance to the scope, also found a littl hinged bracket that fits onto a top scope mount via a small countersunk bolt,
Now looking to do a home brew ir light source, i have an old maglight i cut down and used as a gun lamp, looks like your light in ya pic, may try something with that.
