Hello from Surbiton and South Shields

Post by ovy4213 » 16 Feb 2013, 22:03

Hey guys
Ive been shooting for about 3 years now, and have became more and more involved in NV as I was shooting at night.
I have a home brew NV rig mounted on my bushnell legends scope, and recently received a ATN gen1 scope off a friend, which I was very impressed with before it stoped working. I'm from south shields, but currently live in surbiton for university.
I also sea fish, restore motorbikes and love science. :thumbup:

Hiya ovy, pull up a stool mate and tell us all about your rig - and the science behind tits. :lol:

Slip up there but idecided to leave it there and see what it draws forth. :P

Current home made rig is with:
Mini cctv camera, 700tvl quality, light sensitive to 0.0001 lux, with a built in control station so I can edit the settings for brightness, zoom etc.
Connected to a 9-22mm lens, which is attached to a plastic washer, and glued to some silicone coupling pipe for a car engine, which just slips onto the eye piece of my scope.
This leads to a mini 3.5inch lcd screen with 640x480 resolution, mounted the the scope by an old torch 8 shaped mount cut in half.
And all this is run by a 12v Li ion rechargeable battery and a 2 way power splitter.
For illumination I use a small focusable IR torch that came on my NV scope, thats for distances up to around 30 yards, if i'm going longer and spotting I use a quite large and heavy IR cctv light, which goes out to 120m, runs on a 12v motorbike battery attached to my belt, and is mounted via a 1 piece mount with 1 ring cut off, and a large bolt coming going through the recoil pin drill hole into the lamp.
All and all a very effective rig, I have tested it against my brothers ns50 and ns200 and apart from mine being obviously a home made rig, the quality the two is the same.

The science behind boobs is all to do with hormonal changes in the female body (or unhealthy diets in the male body :D ) these hormonal changes set off a chain reaction preparing the female body for carrying a child, including ovarian production, widening of the hips and enlargement of the breast tissue.
Why boobs are so attractive science does not know... But they are awesome :thumbup:

I agree about the boobs, but more importantly where did you get a 3.5" screen with 640 x 480 resolution. All the 3.5 screens I've seen are 320 x 240 (or as sometimes advertised 960x 240)

I'll see if I can find a link for it. Taken me a while to find one to match the camera quality.

Edit found this one
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TFT-LCD-Car-S ... 33773fdc02

Comes from china so will take a month to arrive.

It might say 640 x 480 in the advert, but I'll guarantee it's actually 320 x 240- still an OK screen though - the same as many of us are using.

The one I bought was from halfords for a car reversing system. Looks quite similar.

It's probably the same LCD panel inside - they're all 320 x240
