Project boxes, cables and velcro! They could be member on here.
The NS200 is finally for sale here in oz for 690 pounds. So I'm only saving 450 quid by building my own E700 rig. Hardly seems worth it. ;)

Sorry Nitesite if your reading this but the new Viper looks Fugly.
You would have thought for the money they charge and the large profit they make per unit they would try to tidy things up a bit.
Lets be realistic here and say they must have a production cost of about £120-£150 for an NS200.
Looks like the new viper is using a single Ir LED.
The front housing does not look big enough for the usual 4 Ir leds on the NS200.

Hey! Are they trying to copy my idea about having the battery on the top of the scope? :twisted:

I get the feeling they come from the die moulding industry with all them fancy housings






















They certainly ain't from the nightvision industry, nor the fair price industry :mrgreen:

Didn't think they would be, Adam, otherwise I'm pretty sure that they would have added that as a selling point.

Just good old cables, a screen and £100 li-ion battery :o Nice to see that they haven't just re-hashed the NS series :yawn:

To be honest I've heard that it is, and I've also heard it isn't ??? Must admit to having never enquired. Be interesting to know the in's and out's of it though.
