johnny Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 Looks tidy does it run off 12v and have you got a lense on the camera as I can't see? Cheers john Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davyo Posted August 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 (edited) All runs off 12v from the car,how ever the t20 has a 12v to 3.7v resistor inside the box.The lens is the 16mm. Edited August 25, 2014 by Davyo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davyo Posted April 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2015 I now this is a old post but. Was just wondering how you mounted the t20 to the camera? The T20 is just mounted to the project box,the base of the high rise mount was grounded if and a simple 6mm hole drilled through that and the top of the project box.Then secured with a short bolt.

Davyo Posted April 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 Thanks how far will it see?The T20 we use for close up stuff either in front of the vehicle or 40mtrs out ( we don't have it on tight beam,more of a flood), We drive with a large IR spot that can get eye shine at 500 Mtrs ,then once we get this we swap to T20 and creep in to withing 50 mtr take the shot and then move on. Be careful though unless you know your perm well,I know mine like the back of my hand but still managed to hit a bail and drop the car into a ditch twice lol.

Younggun15 Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 Would a t67 be any better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davyo Posted April 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 To be honest it probably would on a flood beam,I have the T67 in red led and its a cracking torch and have thought about running it of 12v roof mounted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
