I have too many lockdown project spotters and really ought to have a clearout. This one has been listed in a different (radio signal) format and not sold so here's a plan 'B' for it.

£260 as seen here as a hand carry (only) spotter. It requires 3x 18650 batteries - not supplied, fitted by pressing in the top of the monitor to flip it out as seen here: https://youtu.be/BFGK0HHJmTg

Notice the custom made very sturdy anodised aluminium tripod mounting block that accepts any 1/4" 20 TPI mounting/handling device.

An optional extra:
It accepts the custom made stainless steel ball-stud that's in a custom made magnetic pan/tilt mount seen alongside it here - at £40. I mention the custom made bit because they were CNC made for me to my own design in very small batch numbers that result in them being very expensive. Also supplied with it is a one metre long monitor extension cable - note the white tippex marking on the plug and socket inside the box.

The spotter unit also has custom made for me components that were simply not available to anyone at ebay prices - they too were very expensive compared to Chinese made by the million prices.

The integrated illuminator has a 3 power mode 850nm Oslon Black AS LED in it: Half press the upper switch to change between low/med/hi brightness modes, leave the selected power setting on for 3 seconds and it will be remembered next time its turned on. The torch head is rotated to adjust the IR beam from wide flood to narrow penetrating.

Its not waterproof. Notice this has the superb low light performing now unavailable genuine E700 Exview equipped camera. Its supplied with a wide angle 25mm TV lens and a fairly scruffy more zoomed in 75mm Cosmicar lens that costs about £400 new these days.

Further information may be added as I think of it.
