    Looks to be a good bit better than some of their other night vision products.

    what do you expect for £99, it works fine for a spotter up to 200 yards and the 3x lens gives better fov
    but everything is crap in your eyes isnt it Emousehttp://www.rapid7ownersclub.com.

    Nope,..just the kit you have mentioned in particular.

    I am more than happy with the NV I have but then I invested a bit more than £100 !

    If you want something decent and have cash to spend then I am happy to assist you.Emouse

    Savage93's video, it don't look bad with that IR lamp. Think I'll get this NV and try it out.

    Is that a 200m without an IR lamp. If I got an IR filter and attached it to my deben tracer lamp would it make much of a difference to the picture quality.

    It will, more illumination is better - up to a point. A lamp will give a better picture than a laser IMO. Your trouble will be attaching the two together.

    For someone who doesnt have a clue about NV or what a IR laser is or a tracer lamp is never mind how to attach the two of them. Would this be a bad buy..???

    TBH Ive always toyed with the idea of NV but if this anyway decent then I might aswell make the splash and stop holding out and get one.

    lokks decent and with the aid of a more powerfull ir illuminator it would be very good considering the price

    Thanks for the reply... but can I just ask

    1) How much would this IR Illuminator cost
    2) And where would I pick one up
    3) Realistically. WHat sort of distances am I going to be seeing with it.

    Lastly... if anyone here has experience with this stuff... tell me honestly... is NV actually any good for hunting (maybe even a spot of night fishing) or is it a bit of a gimmick.

    THanks lads..

    http://www.lasergenetics.com/nd3-laser-designator_hunting.aspx

    A lad on another forum tried one out and said he could clearly make out sheep and cattle at a good distance. think you can get them for €299 on activehuntingireland.com

    That's not night vision, it's a green laser.

    That will act like NV when used with your scope
    The compact ND-3® Laser Designator

    The ND-3® Laser Designator uses patented technology to create true night vision and turns your scoped rifle into a night hunter

    It's a fancy lamp. It's not night vision, despite what they claim in their ad.

    I no yeah but if it performs like it says, which i was told it did it would be a good bit of kit!

    From what I've heard I see no advantage in it as the beam is too narrow to search with so the need for a lamp is still there, also seems to dislike the cold which isn't much use about now :D

    Didnt hear that about the cold but as far as the narrow been goes couldnt see it being that bad, some of the good LEDs have a very narrow beem too

    Lol, I'm not, get one, just don't call it what it ain't :p :pac:

    All I'm going on is what I've read from lads who got them. Too 'spensive for this mans blood.
