SB spotter - SOLD
Posted: 05 Nov 2014, 09:16
Another E700 spotter with a second user 50mm SLR lens. It runs on two 18650 rechargeable batteries - not supplied.
It has a 5" LCD monitor. This one has a solid handle with a 1/4" 20 TPI camera tripod thread stud to fit the mount.
£290 posted RMSD - or £330 posted with the illuminator and mount.
I'm now making them with a wider adaptor throat - and the neck of the E700 camera neck has been cropped to expose the entire CCD sensor to the full width of the 1" diameter SLR lens for unparalleled low light performance.
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....
...Which can be re-located to inside a vehicle with an extension cable - available separately:
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:
