oliver90owner Posted April 6, 2020 Report Share Posted April 6, 2020 I have recently knocked up an infrared night-sight for my airgun. Good but very cumbersome, what with adaptor, camera, batteries and screen all hanging on the scope, so I was wondering if a system with a mobile phone had been tried....do away with the battery and box, and all of the wiring. Only downside might be position of the phone being too close for comfortable viewing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-G Posted April 7, 2020 Report Share Posted April 7, 2020 (edited) It'd be way too close on the rear of the scope - just measure the distance you read a paper or food label at. Several have made rigs with the monitor at the rear and kid themselves they did well. Probably ok if you are shooting prone on a bipod with the rifle well out in front of you.

oliver90owner Posted April 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2020 Yes, I have positioned the screen as far forward as possible, to the front of the scope. Just thought for the odd foray someone may have tried it - even fitting the scope as far forward as necessary. I find I have to remove my glasses (or at least only look through the bottom half of the bifocals) to avoid a double image of the cross-wires. Apart from that it works very well indeed. Certainly good enough for an air rifle at sensible ranges. It would certainly need an IR filter to use it in bright daylight conditions, that is for certain!
