SB spotter - SOLD.

Post by some bloke » 26 Oct 2014, 20:29

Another E700 spotter with a second user 50mm SLR lens. It runs on two 18650 batteries - not supplied. It has a 5" LCD monitor.
This one has a solid handle with an M6 thread stud to fit the mount.

£280 posted RMSD.

If you require an IR illuminator you can choose any of the ones in my signature photo with a weaver rail torch mount at £40.

I'm now making them with a wider neck in the module to allow all of the 25mm wide SLR lens to view all of the CCD sensor. The neck of the E700 has been cropped to expose even more of the sensor to the lens. Obviously this voids the warranty of the E700 camera - as does the fact that the cabling has been hard wired.

The spotter is custom made to take this 5" monitor - this is how you access the battery compartment:

I assess this type of rig by how well it sees without artificial illumination.

These videos are a fair appraisal of how you can expect it to perform. The image seen on the small monitor is many times clearer than the compressed and uploaded to youtube video that you see, you will get a slightly better idea if you minimise your page to about half screen to get a smaller player:

The first is approaching the worst ambient light conditions you are likely to find where it will still see something at air rifle range without assistance. If there is even less light you will see nothing at all without an illuminator.

This compares to about the very best you will see from it in patchy cloud and good light conditions, but it was made with a slightly better and longer focal length lens:

This is an advantage it can give you in foggy conditions:

Sold to a BBS member. :D

Ive had an unexpected rush on the modules and won't have time to make anymore for a few days.
