Millet 4,497 Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 I google earthed the tree John they is a measuring tool on it for accurate measuring.. ..and the camera is a cannon 400D with a 300mm lens on it..i used the timer on the camera with a slow shutter speed on a tripod..so once i hit the button on the camera the timer activated leaving me to consentrate on the lamping and avoiding any camera shake.. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SINDASOX 255 Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 What is that purple tinge on the wall with the Nightmaster 800, the 300mm lens makes that wall look about 20yds away, did you also crop pic after it was taken. Thanks SINDASOX Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Millet 4,497 Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 Sindasox it does throw a purple/blue tinge out on the outer glare of the beam but the buisiness end is bright white to the naked eye..it was deffinitely 280yrd's away and the only thing i did with the picture's was sharpen them up a little ..other than that they are straight from the memory card and onto here..if i knew how to save my google earth pages i would stick the exact disstance up on here for you..

SINDASOX 255 Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 Nice one, i wasn't doubting the distance, i was just saying that the 300mm lens makes it look really closer than it is. SINDASOX 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I understand what you are saying but im looking for a handy little torch that im not gonna need to dry my eyes out if I leave in a loft if when doing a wasp nest, loose in the car, backfill by mistake, lend out & forget who I lent it to. Or have to ditch etc. I had the p14 till recently a mate agg'd me to death till I sold it to him. Ive got the 140 variable, clulite, maglite with a good upgrade bulb. But I think one of these will be more handy than them all. ... Edited June 16, 2023 by Pulser Quote Link to post Share on other sites
