kiffy Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 afternoon folks, i have a couple of questions regarding diy night vision, i last year made my own loosly following evos instructions and it worked perfectly (cant thank evo enough for his ideas and help) i recently changed my scope from one hawke to another hawke and apart from not being able to get a correctly szed silicone sleeve to find a decent fit which i can overcome im finding the kpc s190sw bullet camera needs to be almost an inch further away than it used to be. apart from my not wanting to have a long sleeve as it will get in the way of my shouldering the gun i cant find one anyway so can i change the lens i fitted (think it was a 16mm) to another one that will mean the camera can be closer second questions i am planning a nv spotter and am on the look out for a camera, i would prefer a smaller board cam rather than the bullet cam as it will fit in the smaller case i want to use.. any sugegstions? smaller and cheaper the better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiffy Posted August 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 cameras not the problem as my nv is already built using the kpc-s190 bullet cam, the issue i had was as mentioned above was on changing the scope recently (one hawke to another hawke) the silicone sleeve wouldnt fit so i bought a slightly smaller one and while swapping over found the camera needed to be an inch further away than before which apart from needing another sleeve as i cut the new one to the same size as the old one before checking (bloody idiot!) ive found that that extra inch makes shouldering the gun uncomfortable so i wondered if changing the lens will help with the distance the cam needs to be from the eyepiece on the scope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
activeviii Posted August 10, 2014 Report Share Posted August 10, 2014 Changing the lens will make no difference. A 16mm lens gives you I bigger screen picture, the 12mm gives a rounded one. They both need setting to where your eye relief would normally be. Easy way is add a slip on stock pad for night and take it off for normal use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before I had an extending stock adjuster fitted to my rifle, I used to put a slip on rubber stock sleeve with a 1" shaped piece of wood inside the rubber. It worked well.
