mick miller Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 A nice first pass, you'll find though that you won't be happy and will constantly want to improve things - at least that's what happened to me! Only other point is you've posted in the wrong section, this little gem is craft and diy all day long! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FalconFN Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 Looks good to me. Did you remove the IR blocking filter from the sensor? As Colin says you can tidy it up a bit and make it more efficient to use but if it works you don't have to worry too much about looks. Be careful though, it is addictive....

swampyis1968 Posted June 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 Yes removed the ir lens bit of a tuffy but the soldering iron made it in the end I got new camo tape coming so I think I've got room to re route all wires in to box as I've got one off them electrical round boxes with the rubber grommets on the sides will try later in week when I get back from Southampton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mick miller Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 See, it's already looking tidier. Top tip, stop wrapping everything completely in tape, you'll only get frustrated each time you want to tweak something! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subsonicnat Posted June 8, 2015 Report Share Posted June 8, 2015 Just as a matter of interest to anybody OUT THERE.lol. For Mounting the Camera to the Scope,, I used one of the pipe HOLDERS That fit the scope obviously.:-)) Where The Nail goes Through the Plastic, it is quite thick, FILE it Flat and Super glue it to a Cigarette Roller base, the part that holds the two Rollers, usually CLEAR Plastic. CUT it In Half, You can make two.lol... That gives you your Right Angle to glue The Screen to it.. Or even two very small screws to keep it in Place,,, With Super glue as well. Keeps it neat as well.
