billytheghillie Posted February 6, 2016 Report Share Posted February 6, 2016 I think it would be really great if someone could do a video or step by step and a list of parts and suppliers etc. it would really help us auld guys who are not really up to speed with technology.

Davyo Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 Look up evo's video its by far the best out there.Total componant build and will explain everything in clear detail.It tought me the basics and really the componants dont change,other than your own personal preferance on mounting.I ventured down the 1 piece unit build after snagging my cables on a fence at 2am in the morning.But the fundermentals of the builds are unchanged.Word of warning you will spend a lot of money if you get hooked.I have owned the XT @£400 and the Pulsar N750a @ £1300 and beleive me there aint a lot of differance between a Pulsar N750a and a £100 home build NV UNIT as long as you have balance right.

As with everything things move on, just got new project box through post today though looking at it I may of got carried away with size not sure even the smallest batteries will fit in it let alone wires and switch may have to admit defeat Colin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha Mule Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 £600!!!!! Right, time to get busy on the builds. (This wasn't my original response, but the mods shout at me for my florid flaunting of the swear filter) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha Mule Posted March 6, 2016 Report Share Posted March 6, 2016 I have a 16mm lens on mine. So when attached to the scope shows slightly larger than my version #1 eyeball. If I want to use it just as a spotter though (or build a dedicated one) and I want a bigger image, what is workable? I'm looking at 10 - 30mm zooms. What sort of magnification am I going to get with that? When I have my current one on my scope, sitting at 4x is fairly ok, but occasionally take it up a power or 2. Thoughts?
