Beagle boy Posted July 18, 2015 Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 Evening all looking for a cradle to fit onto my door so I can fix my lamp into place. I don't really want to drill holes in the roof as it's a newish truck. And has anyone had experience with the remote lamps?

superspark Posted July 19, 2015 Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 Have you not had a look at the magnetic remote control spot light for sale at A1Decoys. No drilling any holes. Full 360 degrees rotation remote control which will stick on your roof with out any damage. Perhaps one of these might be what you need Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beagle boy Posted July 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 I've never seen one to be honest, how quickly do they turn? What are the prices like ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superspark Posted July 19, 2015 Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 They are on there for £129.99, they say they are just under 1,000000 candle power and the range of light emitted up to 250 yards. revolves up and down, left to right. the remote has a range of 100m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-G Posted July 19, 2015 Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 Not what you are asking about - but something more covert that you probably won't have considered. I'm introducing a new water resistant suction mount night vision spotter specifically for vehicles later in the week which will be much more covert than a lamp to get you closer before setting up the shot. It will mount to the roof, screen, bonnet, door mirror, or anywhere else you can reach to pan and tilt it. Basically it's a high quality very low light camera with an infra red illuminator, and a cable leading to a high definition 5" monitor bluetacked somewhere on your dashboard below the window line - all powered by the car cigar lighter. I'll be posting it up in a separate thread but will add a link to it from this thread. It's performance will be broadly similar to the videos below - but without the crosshair. Bear in mind the raw footage seen with the car HD monitor is far superior to the compressed video before its further degraded by Youtube. : Good moonlight: Moisture or fog: You will need the illuminator for darker nights with less moonlight: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beagle boy Posted July 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 Thanks for the replies lads, i may have a look at the remote control one. Sounds pretty good just when your driving and lamping your arms all over the shop and when it's cold your bloody hand freezes lol The nv looks good though does that have an added ir illuminator on it?

Cheers rob As most people with NV have at least one illuminator, and perhaps a lesser one in a drawer somewhere - and a spotter doesn't need as much light as an add-on rig they will be sold for the user to supply his own 1" tubed one.
