steve_b_wales Posted March 5, 2016 Report Share Posted March 5, 2016 They may look good, but £945? As I mentioned to you via PM, I'm made my own, which when used with a T20 IR (AS) pil, can 'see' for 250+ yards. It cost me a fraction of the Nite Site. Not everyone can make their own spotter, but there's plenty of people who will give you advice on how to make one, or could even make one for you.

steve_b_wales Posted March 5, 2016 Report Share Posted March 5, 2016 Steve, is this the one, T20IR Ultra Olson AS. £30.59 from L/L. Yes, that's the one. Far better than the standard IR pil. I've got them in my T20 & T38. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billytheghillie Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 Yes, that's the one. Far better than the standard IR pil. I've got them in my T20 & T38. Steve, got one delivered today, and just tried it on my Yukon Photon XT, excellent thanks for the advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmyb79 Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 I've tried the Nite Site Spotter and it is a great bit of kit, but had two downsides for me: price and size/weight. It's a chunky spotter and has a bit of weight to it. I didn't get on with it when walking around my permissions, but from a stationary position it was great. But as Steve says: £945...you can get good factory made spotters for less money, and then there's home made for even less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-G Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 (edited) I had a guy come along to compare one of mine at £240 to his existing £940 one. He bought mine and was going to sell his nite site jobby. Part of the preference was that the nite site one had to be used below head height because the angle of the screen meant he couldn't hold it high to view over hedges. My screens are vertical - and can be tilted down slightly - or detached from the unit(s) Hers is a choice of spotters I make, generally keeping one of each ready to post out.

rodp Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 Can't for the life of me see why folk pay for the name Nitesite, One of Dave's is easily equal in performance, it can see just as much but at a third of the price. Is a "Nitesite" sticker really worth £700 ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
