Mag Mount sunroof night vision spotters

View Advert

After almost a year, my errant machinist finally found time to make up some parts for these mag mount sun roof spotters, designed for use on steel sunroofs - so not for you if you run a Landy.  :lolno:

See the video:

The 50mm lens used here produces about 3x zoom, as seen by comparing the tree its aimed at in this photo. Buyer can fit smaller or larger 'C' mount lenses for different zoom values.On%20roof_zps9kmxohiy.jpg

The main parts of the spotter have the same basic format as my regular pistol grip spotters, please read this thread if you are thinking about buying the roof spotter:

Changes are the use of a custom machined stainless steel pivot ball screwed into a metal block that the battery/screen box is in turn screwed to so it can be tightened up with a spanner - thereby not shifting its anchor when panning and tilting the base unit. The switches have been moved to be more accessible from below. The rubber coated magnets are very powerful - I discovered them as a taxi driver for retaining roof signs at speed.

Available at £300 with my usual 5" 800x480 monitor and one meter extension cable - or with an 'FPV' transmitter fitted to a dummy 'lid' in the battery box: Buyer supplies his own First Person View receiver - this one can record the video:
