After almost a year, my errant machinist finally found time to make up some parts for these mag mount sun roof spotters, designed for use on steel sunroofs - so not for you if you run a Landy.

See the video:

The main parts of the spotter have the same basic format as my regular pistol grip spotters, please read this thread if you are thinking about buying the roof spotter:

Changes are the use of a custom machined stainless steel pivot ball screwed into a metal block that the battery/screen box is in turn screwed to so it can be tightened up with a spanner - thereby not shifting its anchor when panning and tilting the base unit. The switches have been moved to be more accessible from below. The rubber coated magnets are very powerful - I discovered them as a taxi driver for retaining roof signs at speed.

Available at £300 with my usual 5" 800x480 monitor and one meter extension cable - or with an 'FPV' transmitter fitted to a dummy 'lid' in the battery box: Buyer supplies his own First Person View receiver - this one can record the video:

RMSD delivery is £13 to UK postcodes.

Anyone thinking about one of these, note this FPV receiver recordable DVR is heavily discounted for a few days:

Hi
I have a UniqueFire UF-1605 75MM Convex Lens Head Lamp Cap Holder Light Socket Replacement for UF 1605

Is it possible to use this as the torch head with your unit?
I would want the Black sun Ruby pill with it as well

Thanks
James

Hi James, I'm not sure is a truthfull answer, Not having used any of them, the torch body/battery tube looks to have the same threaded and O-ringsystem. I'd say buy it without a head - so the base option+ the extra for a Ruby pill, and order head from the Torch Factory if yours doesn't fit.

Maybe somebody could indicate if they know the heads are interchangeable?
