    Made this up over the last few days. Using a SLR 50mm F:1.7 lens.
    On/Off thumb switch, internal 12v battery, charger intput, Video output, Cheap EBay camera with the IR filter removed. T50 IR torch
    I can see a tree line at 200y so should be able to see a foxes eye shine at that distance and more.
    I'm well pleased with the result of this spotter.

    Love the classic camera lens on it.:D
    If it works do it! Fair dues to putting this Heath Robinson device together in a tidy package.

    Got all the bits and pieces from EBay.
    Just a lot of forward thinking and wired it all up.
    Have to get out now and grass a fox with it :)
