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.

I'll have one ready for you Saturday ! will you be at the range to collect it? cheers for the positive feed back mate

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!

Cool setup bud look forward to future videos of you using it well done bud keep up with the good work cheers

Looks great, Love to see you using it at night.

Excellent setup M8. Thanks for sharing this information.

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 Mark Y

Purchased a new air rifle I'm definitely doing this. .thanks for the video

Mark, thanks for the video! I've almost got mine completed. Just trying to find a good display.

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!

I've finally made mine up but I use the tracer ir torch. It's brilliant. Thank you for the video. Daz.

Best video I've seen. Top man

Cool video very informative as usual, thanks 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

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.

Great setup and very clear instructional video

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.

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.

Amazing little setup. Well done

Super video, nice work.

Easy to follow instruction exelent build

Very cool build.

Thx Mark, really good, subbed buddy.

Excellent, simple and cost effective. Thanx!

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, Steve H

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

Great vid mark any chance of links to the camera and so on se we can go get the same bits.

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!

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

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!

Great video thanks!

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

@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

Nice piece of kit there

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

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

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.

Very nice hardware hack.

Very nice

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

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.

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...

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, 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.

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

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

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.

Thanks for sharing 🤝

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

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.

Mark, thank you so much for the video. What distance range do you get with this rig? Thank you, Fabian,

Is that clever or what .... Amazon here I come Thanks Mark

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.

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 can you please tell me the type of battery your useing and model number cheers great video and very clear cheers mick

Muito bom equipamento show

Hello. Friend, how many meters can enchergar with Torch T20 940nm using a night vision camera? Distance Lighting. Thanks you!

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.

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

Can you make a updated link list? Having a difficult time with finding the plastic fittings

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

Spot on thank you

A United States parts list would be great... Nice video.

Cracking video, when can I buy one!

Hi 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?! Regards

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)

@2:26 Why wouldn't you use teflon tape instead of insulation tape(whatever that is) electrical tape I assume.

Hi mark could you pls send me a link for the e700 the one I got is much bigger many thank for the video Ian

hi mark great video, can you help me i have looked into these cameras you use but there are so many to choose from....which camera do you use and where can i get one ?? many thanks

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

great! wow ~~ this is from our Unique fire T20 torch . we have shop on amazon.co.uk or com .

Hi mate good video how do you record on this does it have a sd card in the monitor?

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?

trouble tracking down connector and the tuber tube that fits onto the lens as dont know what you call it . cheers

Can you tell me the name of the power connector for the battery?

How did you connect the 2 video lines together? The one from the camera to the screen, mine don't fit together.

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

hi , if the copling to the scope is 44mm and the scope is 44mm , the fitting is the same size. so how come the coupling fits the scope????? surely NOT

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

Hello Evo, what size lens did you use for the camera, or was it just the one it came with?

Hi Mark, what size Flopast items did you get for that camera?

Mark, I have a little issue. My scope is a 40mm and the camera is 50mm diagonal. What I need to do is figure out a way to get a 40mm pipe to go over the scope and then join that to the 50mm access plug but I can't seem to find what I need on screwfix.com. Do you have any other suggestions besides getting a smaller camera?

and do i get one with or without ir filter? i read some remove the filter, dont know why

Your video was fantastic i need to try Where can I find all the parts

MArk, another question. The board camera, is it a 12 or 16 mm lens?

hi just new to this is the scope part important do you need a special scope to see ir light can you help please

does the glare from the light of the screen light up your face , or give your position away ?????

How about attaching an _image intensifier_ *tube* to your scope- or would that violate the local laws?

Hi if you remove the IR filter how does it see the IR beam pleas

Mark, Great video and setup.. Would you be able to use this setup with a mobile phone? Thanks

how do u zoom on your scope. if you twist it surely the camera will revolve too. Tom

awesome

Im Thinkinfg of taking up shooting again. Where can I get a Decent first air rifle. May Thanks

Hi Mark.... Have you finalised on a Mini/mobile DVR yet? Cheers

Brilliant!

well done your a clever chap . can u send list of bits and where you get them from . well done
