rich1984 Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 My dads after nv set up for his hw100, he cant get his head round if he needs the torch or if the camera provides the nv ? I was under the impression the torch is needed ? Ive read a few of the NV threads on here but im not electrical or gadget minded so cant really understand. And finally..... can you buy a kit ready made by anyone off here or recommended ? Its the old boys birthday soon so would make a nice supprise. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zetter Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 Generally all NV will need an Infra Red torch especially digital NV which are camera based (this is the add on type you see commonly with screens that attach to the scopes). Some of the Gen 2+ and 3 top spec tubed stuff can get around not needing IR on bright nights where they can amplify the ambient light given off by stars and the moon but you are talking the £3K+ stuff that is cutting edge. Really though IR torches are fairly cheap and for air gun ranges you will only need something like a t20 kits for these retail at <£35 which includes batteries and chargers.

They're the one's he's seen, with the screen mounted somewhere and camera over the scope lens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oowee Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 (edited) Even the cheap zoomable ir torches (850nm 5w) will give you 50m of light for air rifle ranges Edited May 2, 2016 by oowee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Hello, if I remember correctly dave-g on here Is who you want to talk to? He makes some cracking set ups and a pretty cheap price. With a half decent set up with the new t20 pill you should be able to see in excess of 200 yards. With my set up on a Hawke scope with an e-700 camera and new AS ir pill In a t20 I can see approx 300 yards. Hope it helps 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope it helps Mine might be a bit overkill for a sub 12ftlb air rifle because of the T50 Black Sun illuminator that is built into it. However I can fit one with a standard Chinese spec AS pill in for £20 less than the one shown here, and it still uses three IR power options: http://forums.pigeonwatch.co.uk/forums/topic/335205-kwikfit-add-on-nv-with-integrated-t50-black-sun-illuminator/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
