Lloyd90 Posted August 15, 2018 Report Share Posted August 15, 2018 Anyone seen these? https://www.ludicrous-lumens.co.uk/products/ll-760-inline-near-eye Does anyone know how they compare to the Ward add-on ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oowee Posted August 15, 2018 Report Share Posted August 15, 2018 (edited) There are at least three of these sold (including one by Clive). From What I can see on the NV forum they are all the same but Clives is a couple of hundred more expensive. They look good to me but speaking to Clive he reckons they don't have the clarity of the Ward in screen resolution. Having said that clarity and range come as much from the scope you use and the quality of the IR you put on top if the camera and screen are of good quality. If you have an IR compatible scope then I reckon these would be a good bet. The mount certainly looks impressive and it has the right camera and quality display. If you are looking to save some cash and still get great quality I would look on the NV forum there are some great self build kits available. If you are starting with a quality day scope then it might be worth looking at the Pulsar F155 forward mount. It still needs a decent IR but the ir does not pass through the lens so a good quality scope is going to be ok. Apparently no impact on zero but it's going to cost you best part of £1000. Alternatively go for a copy of the pvs14 from China. Edited August 15, 2018 by oowee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oowee Posted August 15, 2018 Report Share Posted August 15, 2018 Maybe not the f155 Your scope won't need parallax adjustment to work with the F155 - but frankly, don't bother with it.Your scope will be looking at the micro display on the F155 and at anything above x 4 or x5, the image will be rubbish because you'll see all the individual display pixels.You'll need £100 extra for a scope adaptor for each scope you want to use it with and gorilla length arms to reach the controls once it's fitted to the front of the scope.It's another of those cases when a piece of kit is touted as doing more than one thing (a spotter and an add-on).Technically that's true, but it does neither job at all well.The F155 is another example of Pulsar making low magnification kit designed for the European market which is primarily shooting at large targets at short range.They don't make any NV or thermal kit with high enough optical magnification that really suits the typical UK night shooter which is primarily smaller targets at longer ranges. 3 hours ago, oowee said: There are at least three of these sold (including one by Clive).

Clive was constantly stating how he adapted his and it was worth the extra. Although many people asked what he changed as they seemed identical and he was asking £200 more than anyone else. After refusing to state what changes he made and being vague for weeks, he appears to now have dropped his price to less than anyone else. Did he ever make any changes? Many think not. Bit of a slap in the face for those that bought his claims and paid £200 over the price of the other units ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed , I would be fuming ! How are you getting on with your Addonight Lloyd ? Ive recently bought one , but not took it out properly yet. Using its own IR and as a spotter, Im extremely impressed, good clarity out to 150 yds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve had it out as a spotter so far - can easily ID rabbits at 70-80 yards although eye shine can be picked up further. This is just with the on-board IR. I’ve yet to get out on a serious session with it as been helping my mate on some release pens daytime and training the pup is taking up a fair bit of time. As we approach pheasant season however I imagine it’ll be put to use foxing much more looking forward to that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beanieboy Posted September 11, 2018 Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 I was thinking of one of these for spotting, however if it can only spot rabbits at sub 100 yards, it's not worth buying imo. I use a Yukon Exelon 3x50 with dovetail rail fitted with T50 ir mounted....can easily see (actually see) rabbits out to 150/200 yards. It is a tad bulky though, which is why I thought the 760/Addonight might be worth consideration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use my current spotter in conjunction with a Photon XT mounted on a 17 WSM. An add-on would allow me to stick it on my .22lr, if required. I have Kahles and Docter scopes on my other rifles and am aware that Add-ons are unlikely to suit these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Addonight, LL760 and the Ward Adder are all the same beast, Mr Ward currently has the cheapest deal on them, with the best adapter. Personally, I would think that the Addonight ,used as a spotter could ID rabbits a lot further out than 150 yards, I havnt used it in the field yet, but I spotted a neighbors cat on a shed roof, and then ranged it with my IR rangefinder at 120 yards, through the addonight ,with its own IR on the lowest setting, the cat was very clear. These units are compact, light , and extremely good value for money IMHO. Battery life is very good too, with an excellent 'sleep' function. Besides bulky addons and dedicated NV scopes, I dont think theres been anything like this on the market before at this price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lloyd90 Posted September 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 I only saw those rabbits at around 80-100 yards because they were the only ones there. I imagine you can pick some up further out. Unfortunatley I live in the city so it’s hard to just pop outside and test it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is now , a lot better than the £599 he was asking before 😯 The good thing about them is that on board IR , I cant get my head round how ggod it is for the size of it, the pill looks tiny, its fully zoomable on the beam, and performs amazingly. 24 minutes ago, beanieboy said: That is very interesting Rewulf.

beanieboy Posted September 12, 2018 Report Share Posted September 12, 2018 I would of thought the Kwikfit unit made by 'Somebloke' is the closest thing to what you want. The ir is attached to the screen/power unit. Supposed to be very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the "words" that were had on the NV Forum between suppliers of the addon l'm not surprised the price has come down by over £200, it was getting harsh to say the least.

Yes Clive started that - the other sellers hadn’t mentioned anything until Clive went on the thread about their product and started making claims that it was unsafe and an inferior product. Thats when the other seller showed emails from Clive’s supplier stating they were exactly the same and also Clive made a load of false claims about him having some sort of copyright over the unit, which then never materialised. After all clives claims it then seemed that there is no difference between the units. So basically it appears that Clive lied about his product being superior etc and just ripped off his loyal customers for an extra £200. People were openly posting how they bought off him because they trusted him and believed he had made changes. I certainly won’t buy off him, and if I recently bought one of his £600 units from his promises of it being suped up, only to find he then dropped his price because he’d made it all up, I’d be going mad!
