Q:

Digital Night Vision Scope – Rolaids DNVS 3.1

Hi Guys!

After a longer then average season of not posting I finally have a video together to show my latest scopeless build. When I made my original one over a year ago
I already was envisioning the upgrade and with a custom part made by a friend of mine, high end lenses, and some new pieces….wala

I present to you the Digital Night Vision Scope – Rolaids DNVS 3.1 (I am finding that the word scopeless confuses the general YouTube watcher if they haven’t been on the night vision forum)
YouTube full video:

Since Christmas we have shot around 4700 starlings with this setup. Hunting video coming soon!

As always – I keep the spread sheet updated with any new parts and changes so always download newest version from the links area I put under all my videos.

Cheers,
Roland – some crazed nut with Dain Bramage 😯 😕 😮 😀 😆

Hello Roland, I’ve been following ur builds and was wondering the approx cost u would sell a camera set up ready to mount for?
Being your ej camera it’s new tube mount the ring setup that u used and a decent lens that will take recoil of my ar-15 for yote hunting. Tried of them sneaking in on me and not seeing them till its too late. Had one watch me for fifteen minutes. Knew he was there but couldn’t see him. Very frustrating. Don’t think the monitors and batteries will b a problem to acquire. Pm me if you’ve got time.

They are a possibility although when comparing the FatShark to Vuzix 1200 here are some thoughts:

Vuzix for the price has the better screen res. The latest Fatshark finally has the same as the 1200 for more money. Also when hunting it is very nice to be able to look under the glasses to load gun etc. and the Vuzix allows that to happen. The wireless option is ok but I really don’t mind the wire. That being said I am talking about a new style build that I have not shown yet but hope to release this summer.

Cheers,
Roland

Good info Roland, thank you.

Have you looked into using any of the wireless FPV goggle sets that is gaining popularity with the RC flying crowd? If the goggles are decent and able to adapt say the EJ230 camera in place of their camera, sans wires to the head set seems like it would be a lot less cumbersome.

One example;

The 1200’s are the latest version and replace the 920’s. I constantly watch for 920’s and they are getting harder to find. That said – the 1200’s are definitely better and would recommend them. The only reason to use 920’s is $$$ savings but you also loose the features like wide screen, pupil width adjustment to reduce eye strain, a little better LCD for better contrast, easier focus adjustment on top of lens.

Cheers,
Roland

Looking for Vuzix wrap 920 glasses, I recall looking for them mid March and finding them widely available in the $250-$300 range, LOTS of them available, now one month later and pert-neer extinct! 😯 Went to Vuzix site looks like the M100 is the only offering from Vuzix currently at $999. 🙄
Am I looking in the wrong places?

Did find Vuzix Wrap 1200 available, going rate seems to be mid $400 range, is it a worthy replacement for the 920, worth the money?… Anyone with a pair 920s they want to sell?

lot of great info

As always, GREAT video, lots of good useable and easy to understand detail and entertaining. :mrgreen:

Thank you,
Paul
