Truck spotter with 7" HD monitor SOLD SUBJECT TO...

Post by some bloke » 13 Oct 2015, 09:43

A dedicated 'some bloke' truck spotter with a choice of 35mm or 50mm C mount lenses for sale.

These have a very robust saddle clamp for a compact (single cell) 25mm/1" tubed illuminator, not supplied: Spotters don't need as much IR as add-on rigs, and most NV users will have a small one tucked away somewhere. All you will need to use is a T38 - or even a humble 501b if it has the new 'AS LED in it.
Find more detailed information about them in this thread:

With rain shelter fitted... because adjustable lenses are not waterproof:

An illuminator is not supplied.

How to use them:

What you get in the box:
An E700 camera - modified with the neck milled back to suit C mount lenses with a three pin cable and plug soldered to the original cable, pre-fitted into the main spotter body. You may wish to invert the camera/spotter so the lid is not sealed - user can seal it with thick grease or sealant.
A 50mm F1.4 C mount lens will be supplied by default as best option for mixed fox and rabbit spotting. For rabbit range only spotting a 35mm lens or 25mm lens for wider FOV's can be specified with the order.
Four M4x40 cap head screws to secure the torch clamp in counter bored holes: You need to source a 1" or 25mm torch tubed illuminator.
A 7" HD LCD monitor with modified cable and plug - to be placed somewhere below the window line to avoid being seen from outside the truck - Blutack can be used if needed.
4 self adhesive cable tidies so you can leave the cabling in place and just unplug the main body to stash out of sight under the seat - remember it doesn't need to be taken indoors to be charged etc. I prefer to feed the cables out of sight behind the dashboard.
A 12volt car accessory plug with soldered cabling and connectors to power both the monitor and the camera.
A 3 x 1 metre extension cables to allow a myriad of monitor fitting locations.
A A heavy duty suction mount assembly with a modified stainless steel ball end stud and nut to bolt to the spotter body. You will need an 11mm or 7/16" spanner - or pliers if you are not so equipped.
A rain shelter and fixing bolt.


Price is £220 + £10 RMSD to UK addresses, or collect.
