digit Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 After seeing Davyo thread on diy NV it got me interested. I order the parts and had a go putting it together with out trying to cut wires, but it ended up one mass of cables. I took the plunge on the second attempt and shorten the wires and it came out a bit neater. I'm very happy with the results. I'd like to thank Davyo and others for all the help and advise that was given. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fruity Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 (edited) Mines still work in progress, i need to make a bracket to mount it in the correct position and fit the power supply just a temp one at the moment. Really happy with the picture quality though the bird table is just a touch under 100 yards Edited January 31, 2015 by fruity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fruity Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 I put a shroud on the screen to mount my eye against it as davyo recommend in his nv build thread , I find I just look as I would with the normal scope. I may try and move the scope forward and mount the screen in front I'll see if it works when I get time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Can't you buy a cheap pair of glasses off the bay and take a lens out of them to try? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
