Beavis : Sent you 5 pages on how to build one of these things without Iradiating yourself. Let me know you got them.
Also a guy selling Varo U.S made Gen1 Cascade tubes on Ebay for $115nz with free world wide shipping. just look up intensifier tube on Ebay. Happy to help cause I know once your over on the dark side you are going to want some Gen3 off me!!!
ok im going to try it. how hard was it to find a camera lens/ how much did it cost?
is this the tube im after?
Varo Image Intensifier Tube IR Laser Viewer Night Vision | eBay
That will work a charm. I discussed the radiation hazard with cj7hawk, he has run a geiger counter over the P8079HP tubes and found no emissions. I believe the varo tubes are essentially the same thing.
Ok i ordered the tube from that guy in israel, shoul be a bit of fun.
yep will do, im a bit retarded when it comes to wiring shit up so might be interesting. Think my main problem is going to be finding a suitable camera lens without blowing to much money.
I think you should be fine wiring this up. With a c mount it could be quite good, any reason why you can't change lenses to increase zoom?
Say 55-85 dslr lens, sure you will loos some light gathering ability at increased zoom but not all.
yeah with a C mount no reason to not change lenses, a few of the guys online run a couple of different lenses for zoom purposes. Shouldnt be to hard finding a 1:2 lense or like 1:4.8, heaps floating around on trademe but a 1.4 or 1.2 seem to be a bit more scarce
Get a 1.2-1.4 CCTV lens off eBay
would you definetely reccomend 50mm beavis?
I know sweet FA about lenses, but the 50mm works for me. I guess a 75mm would let in more light.
