Nice! I've gone the same route about a year ago and found a nice little wrap around butt pocket on ebay to hold the 12V battery. I used a T20 with an "Olson" black led, tried it on cats and my sprocker and neither can see it. I mean safely of course, just illuminating the torch in front of them. Lights to about 100ft easily on low. It's on a TX200 which was already a gun weighing 30% more than any of my 12gauges, so a heavy set up. But a lot of fun. In March we had a small outbreak of rats, just 4, but easily cleanly dispathched in pitch black darkness. Neighbors either side wanted poison down, but pets, Kites, sufferin etc I'm not a fan. I'm glad I went this route, £200 but lots of fun and satisfaction, and very effective, runs 8 hours easy. Also good off gun just to look see whats running around in garden at night.
Thanks Mark for so generously sharing your knowledge. I'll definitely put one together myself one day!
Hello, I enjoyed your video on how to build a IR night vision. I'm sure I will enjoy building my own and thanks for the information on all this. Look forward to your other videos.
Excellent video is really helpful, I have just started sourcing the items required to assemble virtually the same set up, to fit the same rifle as weihrauch also a .22lr & .223 as to swap out scopes for night vision means re zeroing, a real pain, this type of set up will fit all 3 cheers well put together video.
Excellent setup M8. Thanks for sharing this information.
Looks great, Love to see you using it at night.
Mark, thanks for the video! I've almost got mine completed. Just trying to find a good display.
Purchased a new air rifle I'm definitely doing this. .thanks for the video
Cool setup bud look forward to future videos of you using it well done bud keep up with the good work cheers
Great setup Mark! I'm a yank so I'm using a night vision scope, Benjamin marauder with an iPhone 6+ but I would have never spent the money if I saw this video! Really good my man!
Best video I've seen. Top man
Hi Fabian with the IR torch I have the T20 a good 100 meters. But on the HW97 only out to 50 meters max. Thank you for watching and commenting
All the best

I've finally made mine up but I use the tracer ir torch. It's brilliant. Thank you for the video. Daz.
+Airgunhunter 1966 My pleasure mate I'm pleased for you. Cheers Mark
I have to say that Mark YAylor is a great youtuber and friend . He help me with the thing i was missing to finish my setup.. thanks again mark
pepe58 pepito thank you for your kind words my friend, life is about giving and the more I give the more I shall receive. Glad t help 😊🍺 Mark
Very neat camera setup, i've got a couple of those cameras so gonna get some some floplast parts tomorrow, hope mine fits as nicely!
Great setup and very clear instructional video
I'll have one ready for you Saturday ! will you be at the range to collect it? cheers for the positive feed back mate
Cool video very informative as usual, thanks Mark
Done mine now, thanks very much Mark. Unfortunately had to get 50mm in white and only a 12mm lense but works fine. Will do it in camo or satin black.
Very beautifully explained. Thank you, sir.
Amazing little setup. Well done
Daniel Swain thank you, have you looked at any of my other stuff? I would be interested in any feedback. All the best Mark
Thank you for your great vid. ive copied your design and im very happy with it. just in the process of building it together right now and if i find anything that makes your great method any better ill let you know. once again, thanks.
Easy to follow instruction exelent build
Super video, nice work.
Thx Mark, really good, subbed buddy.
Excellent, simple and cost effective. Thanx!
Faye Huminski. Thanks for the positive feedback 😊🍻 all the best Mark
Hi Mark, just a small post to say that set up looks great, I just wish I had viewed it before I bought the nitesite viper. Ah well, maybe I'll have a go at making your design for my other rifle, fair play to you for sharing your info. ATB Billy.
Thanks for the kind words, if you need any help or support contact me and I'll do my best thanks again, Mark.
Very cool build.
Great video thanks!
Thanks for sharing 🤝
Spot on thank you
Handy the Flow plas range ;) . I think you will find the other white plug you are thinking is an AVout is a second AV in reversing screens usually have 2 one for viewing say a DVD the second switches automatically for the reversing camera when you put it in reverse
Thanks for the heads up Tim, I have looked at your channel very nice, just subscribed! Can I ask for advice? how do I record from my set up I was hoping to use the white av plug! Any advice welcome.
generally you need a Mini DVR you plugthat into the camera and then av out to the screen I have an Angel Eye Which has a small screen of its own some use this but its to small for most . come to facebook.com/groups/nvuk.nightvisionuk/
FGYT Shooting Thanks mate for the support, Mark
Very nice
hate to jump into your post Mark but Toolstation do the Floplast fittings at 68 p each,also its worth getting from Ebay a 2x doubler lens(they call them a 2x telephoto lens,they are threaded to fit on a camera but careful use of either a Dremel or similar with a sanding drum/stone to take out thread until its a push fit on T20 ) ,about £7 but doubles the range of the T20,for more help go to the nightvisionforumuk.com website,where I found loads of friendly people and advice when I built my NV.must say after I built mine I sold my Gen1 NV because the homemade was far better,happy shooting all and good luck,Alex
Muito bom equipamento show
Very nice hardware hack.
Nice piece of kit there
tim ray
Thanks Tim glad you liked it
All the best mate Mark
The best recorder is probably an EasyCap... usually designed for recording VHS to DVD or pre-HD TVs with Xbox and other consoles, but it'd work very well for your purposes. I think you might need a 'T' adapter though.
+Anondoom Thanks for the help, I will have a look at this and have ago at using it to record some footage, thanks for the advice and watching my film. Cheers Mark
Absolutely no problem mate. Make sure to make an update video if you do, I'd be interested to see what happens. Cheers.
I added a 12v to 3.7v converter , so I run everything off one battery ( no need for separate battery in the torch ) using a 12v 6800mah battery
+Chris Kautz great improvement Chris 👍thanks for sharing
All the best Mark
Hi Mark, I have virtually the same set up but using a cut down security camera.
The problem I've got is picture clarity. I used a small old scope to save space (32mm)
Will a larger objective lens give better vision or just amplify what I already have ?
Great video m8 am making one now for a Hawk varmit scope.
Many thanks,

Brother when I typed in the search for the battery pack for E700 . it took me directly to Amazon UK listings until I refined the search . You must have gotten a lot of people to build this unit .
Hi, we've got it to the stage where the video ends, and are wondering is there a follow up for what to do next? We have got the cross hairs in focus on the screen, wanting to know how to get the picture through the scope clear on the screen so you'd be able to shoot the quarry.
Thanks!
Great vid mark any chance of links to the camera and so on se we can go get the same bits.
awesome
Brilliant!
thank you and good luck with your own build, Mark
Is that clever or what .... Amazon here I come Thanks Mark
a smaller monitor circa 2".maybe a combi with light and a cam in to upper part.thats mean a cam with uv lights on the top.Central Accupackunit for power.But the cam must be adjustable with software.Finally Test on a Bevch rest. wfg Martin
Hi Mark, only just got back into shooting and come across your video, this is fantastic info and parts details.... The cable from the AI Illuminator, how and where does that connect.....? I guess I'll work it out... hope your still with us, well and happy. Thanks Mark...
Hi the lead from the illuminator is a rat tail switch. It’s a T20 torch hope this is helpful, let me know if you have any other questions. All the best Mark
Mark Yaylor Thank you so much for replying kind sir. And I will. All the very best.
@Mark Yaylor
Great video! Really informative. I've followed your instructions and now have the Night Vision system I've always wanted at half the price!
It works great but I have one small problem. I find it very hard to judge distance. I use a sub 12lb pcp zeroed to 30 meters. Is there any tips you have? I considered a laser pen pointer?
Great video and set up cheers!
JP
+John Pearson Hi John, that is the exact problem I had when I started. What I have done is look at the size of the head of the rabbit in day light at say 30 yards and will get an idea of its size using the mill dots. from this I have been able to range with good success. I hope this size and mill dot combination works for you. Any other questions please contact me again John
All the best Mark
+Mark Yaylor Thanks for the reply. I will try it that way. Makes sense really! Again thanks for the awesome how to video!
Hallo Mark! Great video. I have a couple questions. I have chinese Sony Effio 700TVL OSD PAL FPV 130W Mini Aerial Photography Camera with OSD settings and also ir torch. I wish build the rifle scope for huntig but its not working. At night i didnt see any thing with ir torch. Must i removed the IR filter or get set up with OSD?
Many thanks for reply,
Best Regards!
Hey Mark
Greetings form Australia.....Thanks for a great & informative..Now I have a direction too search for equivalents in Australia, postage can be a killer...the camera is going to to be the issue......
cheers for great concise vid
Lee Pettit hi lee thanks for the positive feedback, the camera I have used is a security camera, Good luck with the search for parts I'm sure you will get all the parts you need in Aus it took me a good 3 months to research and find them all. Good luck mate and please let me know how you get on. Just one question Lee what are you shooting in Aus? do you have a UA-cam channel ?
All the best Mark
Mark - g'day mate ! we mainly shoot foxes, cats, and rabbits but depending on the region there can be feral pigs, goats or dogs. Pretty much all our shooting is of introduced animals. There is some culling of kangaroos but it is fairly strictly controlled. Interesting video, I've just started looking into this stuff
Just like to point out the cats we shoot in Australia are not your domesticated moggie they are feral wild cats that kill native animals. Like most introduced species that have been allowed to go wild they pose a threat to native animals this also includes dogs.
absolutely awesome video thanks for this upload mate. I just priced this up £133 quid without the pipe fittings but found the cam for half the price you payed and got a better battery in mind 9800mah but apart from that its pretty much to the T , any chance of the screw fix? product numbers on the pipe fittings the rest of the setup is easy enough to find going to pull the trigger on this come payday see
Hi Azz the screw fix numbers your looking for are 76761 and 65881
Good luck mate with the build and let me know how you get on
Happy days Mark
A United States parts list would be great... Nice video.
+John West Hell John, thanks for the comment, a number of people in the US have contacted me about this very thing! 99% I must say have found the parts in the US via Amazon. The only thing that has appeared to have caused an issue for some is the flowplast bits. But they have been looking at Lowes and Home Depot not specialest plumbing stores. If I can help please contact me and I can try and help you out. It took me about 3 months to source all the bits for my build. If you look through the comments you will see one from a guy I think it was Michigan built one identical to mine and got all the parts in the US, I think his name was Bob Daymon. He should be able to help you build one, tell him you know me. Good luck John and thanks again for commenting, all the best Mark
Very cleverly made, and it looks really good! Do you have any footage from using it at night? I'd be very interested to see how good that little camera is.
Hi I do have some footage uploaded on my channel home, I have a link below to a field test of it and a rabbit. This was taken off the screen via my I phone. Please check out my channel home page and the playlist Night Vision.
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. All the best Mark
ua-cam.com/video/gEINKh0n1Vc/v-deo.html
great! wow ~~ this is from our Unique fire T20 torch .
we have shop on amazon.co.uk or com .
+Zeng Kerstin I have credited you in the information section of this how to film. I know from the feed back a large number of people have purchased this great torch. I have used it now in the field hundreds of hours with no problem at all. I even had one guy in America make this exact set up! If there is any product you might want reviewing or field testing please think of me, I am in the process of putting together a field spotting system and if you feel you have a torch that might compliment this type of thing please let me know. I t would be out to 200m. all the best Mrk
Hi again
Do you think this is a camera that will work in a night vision project? If not where did you buy the camera You´ve used in your build? Did you specifically to remove teh filter too make the camera able too see infrared light?
Lots of q:s I know but I neither want too mess up, nor invent the wheel. ;-)
best reg: Chris
Cracking video, when can I buy one!
Hi, Mark. Great video.
I've built a similar setup but I struggle to get decent focus on my screen.
Can you recommend a distance to set the focus on the camera to?
My NON-AO scope is zero'd at 30yards.
Brian Hodgson With my setup the E700 camera has a small grub screw that allows you to set an lock the focus. I then use the focus ring on the scope to bring it all into sharp focus. This will take some trial and practice to get it right, then I've marked the scope so I know how far to push it on the next time. It's a fiddle but it's worth it. Thanks for watching, mark
@2:26 Why wouldn't you use teflon tape instead of insulation tape(whatever that is) electrical tape I assume.
Hi. There looks like you have a connector from the camera to the screen (yellow wire) cus mine is a different fitting. Mine is the normal red. White. Yellow connector but the one on the camera is different. I have same camera as you. What did you use. Cheers Daz.
If you need an Uv beamer-buy a normal led ! Beamer chanche the normal white again uv the blue/darm one leds.test the Amps if xou an current flow it will works -but invisible
Hello,
I have just viewed your video and you present a tube of pvc black who comes to take place on the tube of the sighting glasses. Tube into which you insert then the other part containing the camera. Could you indicate to me where I could order this tube, on which web site, because I do not find in the good diameter in France there.
Thank you in advance
great and informative video Mark. I'm going to build my nightvision very soon based on your build. on my hw100 kt and hawkes airmax SF. looking at sure24 e700 and monitor bundle. but I'm going to be buying the floplast fixtures 1st to make sure it fits my eyepiece. also thinking of running dual 18650 batteries to power it. as i have the charger and batteries already. how did you go about mounting your battery. use a stock pouch? I have subscribed and look forward to more videos. thanks Tony
Hi Tony, sounds like you have the thing all sorted. I did get a stock pouch but didn't get on with it that well, I just carry it in a pocket in my jacket. Cheers for subscribing Tony cheers all the best, Mark PS let me know how you get on with the build mate.
Mark Yaylor hi again mark. I'm 95% setup just waiting for battery holder. I've used the same figure 8 weaver mount. but on screen mount. I drilled it and mounted to weaver with supplied screw x4 as left over weaver ring is threaded. is it worth mounting it as far forward on the scope as I can for torch purposes, do you think it would matter? thanks. tony
Hi Tony, glad that is all coming together mate, I would say that it is totally a personal thing, bit of a cop out from me, but I have had my screen forward and back and prefer it to the rear giving me a comfortable head up shooting position for me. Hope this helps??? Mark
Mark Yaylor cheers Mark. I've a play tonight. mounted it quite forward so torch didn't touch the top adjustment pot. torch at about 2 clock as you look down the scope. screen postion is great..all the wires tidy away nice in stock pouch also will take battery pack. so it's looking fantastic. been looking around the trees at about 60metre no problem at all..
Fantastic Tony, I'm so pleased for you, enjoy your shooting mate. Mark
Hi Mick, thanks for the positive feed back, the camera link is here www.sure24.co.uk/catalogsearch/result/?q=E700&order=name&dir=asc
What I did was give them a call and had a chat about what I wanted to do, they were great and sorted it all for me. All the other stuff I got amazon UK. the only bit I didn't get from amazon was the BNC to phono connector came from maplins £3.59 www.maplin.co.uk/search?text=bnc+to+phono&x=0&y=0. hope this helps.
Good luck mate
Mark
Hi Mark
A great and really useful video, cheers I'm in the process of ordering all the bits, one question with the camera I am asked "IR filter in or out" in the purchese questions ....
Any idea which I should go for?
Cheers
Nick
Hi Nick You will need to have the IR filter removed for the camera to see the IR from the illuminator. Good luck with the build mate, All the best Mark
Thanks for getting back to me Mark, I re-read the blurb and kind of worked it out, in the end, just waiting for all the bits to arrive now!!! Hey Ho.
Again a great vid cheers.
Nick
Hi Mark. I must say I appreciate the vid and that you´ve performed a "clean" build. looks very nice. There are some other guys that have been tossing their parts together without any thought of how it may look. My q is if there are any filters that need to be removed from the camera before it can send to the screen? I´m going to try to build something like yours, but I´m going to try to make a small box for the battery where I can connect all cables. Have U sorted out the problem how to record video from that xtra (white) cable?
best regards Christer. (pl exc my poor language as I´m not Englishspeaking)
+Christer Axell Hi Chris thanks for the feed back. the filter that was on the camera was removed by the people I bought it from they were extremely helpful and supportive.I have sorted the video recording by using a mini DVR recorder. the extra white cable is another video cable!
All the best
Mark
Do you think it´s possible too change the screen to a screen with a compartment for mini sd cards that can record? Would be nice too have those two functions in the same advice.
hi mark I have got the same set up as you thanks to you .I like to know did you ever find a recordable device for the setup ?many thanks Scott Campbell
Hi Scott, I have not found a suitable one yet,. Then I have real not looked that hard. I've been starting up my own carpentry business the last six months or so and have been putting most of my time and effort into that. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment Cheers MArk
were i can find on ebay a cheaper camara? to see them all what do i type in to find the one i want plz
Nice build , but you can buy the full set up for £79 ish
I'm pretty sure the second connection on the screen is another av in? I have the same monitor in my van, one input from the reverse camera and the 2nd from a dvd player. The screen automatically switches between sources.
Your 100% right mate my mistake ! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment . Cheers mark
By the way is it really ness to use a scope how does is like to do that without a scope just by a cam/Uv beamer with the right software an a new idea mount it into the schaft!The powerpack
Mark, thank you so much for the video. What distance range do you get with this rig?
Thank you,
Fabian,
+Fabian Mac-namara
the distance will be affected by the IR torch you use, with my set up it is a little over the top for an airgun 100m.
All the best mate
Mark
hi mark can you please tell me the type of battery your useing and model number cheers great video and very clear cheers mick
Michael Helm Hi Mate, I bought mine direct from amazon, here is the info from the page, hope this helps. Thanks for watching my film. the system does work very well out to a good 100m + with the torch I have. good luck with your build

Thanks for the video.
I have a question for you: The camera is a IR camera or not?!
Can i use any kind of camera?!

+Pedro Domingos Hi, yes the camera is an IR camera. It is an E700 camera with the filter removed. It can be used in day light but you do have a pink cast over the picture. Hope this helps and thanks for watching

HD Sony Effio-E 700TVL 16mm will this do the same job. from china. im on very low budget, its under half the price as the one your using. otherwise ill have to forget about making one.
Hello.
Friend, how many meters can enchergar with Torch T20 940nm using a night vision camera?
Distance Lighting.
Thanks you!
hi
the weaver rail you have on the cam is different to the one you show in the pictures, the rail in the pictures is way to small to clamp onto the torch mount, the one you have on the cam is much wider and deeper what size is this please ?
i got the same one you show in the still and it wont fit the torch mount.
every thing else is going swimmingly.
+kempouk Morning, I have copied three links for you below they are what I ordered all from Amazon UK. to build my system. I hope this is of help to you. Please keep asking questions and I will do my best to answer my friend.

Mark Yaylor you have been very helpful thanks, at the moment i drilled the base of the monitor mount and threaded it and i am using a double ended plastic mount that came with the torch, and the 1/2 in of thread that protrudes was enough to screw the monitor to but i have the double end metal mounts that look neater and will look at your links and get the correct mount thanks for all your help, i just wish i could upload a pic to show you my set-up so far in fact i made a short vid ill upload that.
thanks again.
Hi, is the light that the torch puts out visible to the naked eye? about to build one of these too but dont want to see any glow
foot8sativa Hi the lamp is 100% IR and not visible to the naked eye or the rabbits ! if you look into the light (NOT RECOMMENDED AT ALL) you will see a dull red glow from the LED. Have a look at the test footage I've shot the link is below, the rabbit is about 35 meters away and total unaware of me or the IR lamp. Good luck with your build, if you have any questions please ask. All the best Mark.

+dahlidog Hi Mate the one I use is the E700 and the link to the place is below. What I did was give them a call and have a chat and they were extreamly helpful and gave me good sound advice. They sell a good numbers to night vision builders. Also check out the other link, it is to the video that made me build a night vision set up it very good.

But they are very good I gave them a call and spoke to them for about 15 mins, very helpful and informative. They have a lot of experience in the night vision area for hunters which was a pleasant surprise and did not think I was some sort of gun crazed madman.

Your video was fantastic i need to try
Where can I find all the parts
Passion for Hunting and fishing thank you, I bought all the parts from Amazon. The only bit that didn’t came from a plumbing supply shop. I must it did work very well, for a number of years I have now upgraded to a Sightmark Wraith! Which is totally amazing. Thank you for watching Mark
@@MarkYaylor thank you for your knowledge if you have a movie video like that droppe the link
How did you connect the 2 video lines together? The one from the camera to the screen, mine don't fit together.

This came from amazon Uk Hope this helps. All the best Mark

Hi Mark just wondering do I have to have a monitor setup or would I be able to see through the scope alone with the ir torch , great vid but too expensive down here in NZ
+Gary Brooks
Morning Gary, thanks for watching mate. Sorry you will not be able to see through the scope with IR torch as it is invisible top the naked eye. One option Gary is to look at a video camera with a night shooting capability, they work of IR. All you will need then is to attach it to the rear of your scope and that should work. Hope this helps Gary
all the best mate Mark
thanks for the info Mark but think for me a nightsight 200 would be a better way to go if I intend to use ir iluminators
well done your a clever chap . can u send list of bits and where you get them from . well done
BRIAN BROWN Hi Brian, most of the parts came from amazon, the camera e700 can be purchased from sure 24 with the filter removed, and the plastic pipe from screwfix. Hopefully this helps you? Check out the notes under the video description that might help to

cheers m8 thanks
is the ir illuminator 840 nanometre or 940,very important for ratting, the buggers are quick learning en see the glair from the 840NM en dive for cover,
trouble tracking down connector and the tuber tube that fits onto the lens as dont know what you call it . cheers

These must be in the correct size for your scope to fit the rear of you scope and fit the camera into
Mark
got em both thanks m8
really great will be in touch how can i do this plz
Scott Unsworth watch the video? Lol
good vid Mark, ive really got almost the same set up as you but i am finding it so hard to get the camera to pick up the same image as my eye would. I just get a picture of a tube, is this the camera ive got or my scope is crap? did you get this prob when you first starting building. ps i use the DVR recorder from ebay, nice and small and sd card up to 32gb
paul maddison Hi Paul the camera I use is the E700 from Sure with a 16mm lens, sounds like your lens might be too wide angle? Or it could be that the relief of the camera to the scope needs adjustment? I had to play around a bit to get mine the right distance. Here is the link to the UA-cam vid I found most useful in making my setup. ua-cam.com/video/xq2FouLk5FE/v-deo.html
I like the sound of the DVR, Who did you get it from on Ebay? Here is the link for the place I got my camera from they were very helpful great people.

Thanks for the feed back and good luck Paul please keep in touch and let me know how you get on.
All the best

cheers mark, great help. The dvr i use is great bit of kit except once you turn on your power the dvr kicks in and starts capture, the only way to stop video footage is to press the sd card so it pops out a bit then just a quick push in again to start, sounds a bit strange but it works for me and for £15 its been money well spent.( 251653542151 )

If you put the camara behind scope you lost a lot of meter.. sensibilite of sensor go down
Me ahain... Have you noticed any reaction from animals when the screen comes alive? It will have to light up your face or whats behind it??
Hi the only reaction I've seen is if they are very close under 25 meters. They tend to look up and around but nothing like running off. They know something is not quite right but don't know what. All the best

How about attaching an _image intensifier_ *tube* to your scope- or would that violate the local laws?
faffaflunkie not here in the UK 🇬🇧 not sure for other countries you will need to check. If I could get one at a reasonable cost it would be worth having a good go.? Thanks for watching all the best Mark.
I have a thee video series on building a night vision adapter for a scope also. Check it out.
how do u zoom on your scope. if you twist it surely the camera will revolve too. Tom
Hi Tom, the zoom for the scope is on a separate ring in front of where the camera fits on.
Oh ok. Im a newbie. Thinking of taking up shooting so utube is my bible

No problem mate, have you looked at the The airgun show, it comes out on youtube fridays?
Hi Mark,
I just about have all the parts, but I am struggling to get hold of a power cable splitter, can you tell me where you got it from?
Also - what was the connection required from the Screen - camera, I have a yellow cable from each part - but they do not connect ..... one is a female, the other is a female - coax style connector?
+Craig Turner Hi Craig, I did have a problem getting hold of that cable to! I found it at Maplin Electrical. Hope this helps mate. Any other questions please ask. All the best Mark

Just posting here in case anyone else is thinking the same
Hi Mark, what size Flopast items did you get for that camera?
+LoOnYmAtTf
sorry for the late reply to the question mate the size I used is 42mm this can be sized down by the use of black electrical tape round the scope if needed.
once again sorry for the delay in reply
Mark
Hello Evo, what size lens did you use for the camera, or was it just the one it came with?
+Rob Pollock Hi Rob it is a 16mm lens, I chose it as it gives a slight magnification and gets rid of the round image on the screen. I got mine from a company call Sure here in the UK. They were very good and have a great deal of experience in dealing with night vision for hunters. Good luck with your build and
Happy New Year all the best Mark
+Mark Yaylor Thanks Mark
Hi there mark, I've been gathering the parts to make this for myself however I don't think you cover it in your video on how the video gets from the camera to the screen? Would be great if you could reply and help me out as I'm a little stumped at the moment. Many thanks, chris
CrizDuB Hi Criz, the camera and screen both have plug in connections. It’s just a plug and play. Thanks for watching, hope you’re a subscriber 😊
All the best Mark
Mark Yaylor thanks for the response! How did you get the leads through the hole in the tubing? Did you cut and re attach the wires or just made a hole big enough for them to go straight through, then covered it with tape? I've subscribed now, you make some really good content!
CrizDuB I drilled a small hole just large enough to pass the wire through and then set it at the bottom to reduce the chances of rain getting in. 👍
Mark
Mark Yaylor thanks for your help Mark, they might have been silly questions but they helped a lot! I look forward to assembling mine when I get home from work.
Many thanks and ATB
Chris
Mark, Great video and setup.. Would you be able to use this setup with a mobile phone? Thanks
Not as it stands, if you want something like that have a look at rolaidsbench on UA-cam he has done some interesting things. All the best Mark.
@@MarkYaylor Thanks will take a look..
does the glare from the light of the screen light up your face , or give your position away ?????
+michael rogers Hi Michael, that is a good question, I have been using this system now for almost 12 months at close range say 15m - 20m and longer ranges out to 60m with no affect at all from the glow of the screen. So no it does not have any affect that I can say. Thanks for watching and commenting Mark
Have you killed anything?
