Rolaids NV3.0 – DIY Digital Scope-less Night Vision

So after finding out you can create a digital reticle in my favorite low cost NV camera, the EJ230 by KT&C, I had to try a scope-less digital NV build and this is it. It’s probably the lowest cost solution if you want something of this type. I hope to do a high end build in the spring with different camera and lenses.

We have shot over 2300 starlings in the last week with this setup. I really like the full screen view you get with this scope-less setup as compared with the limited field of view with camera looking thru the scope. Will post some hunting videos in the next few weeks when I get time.

My main scope build is here

See my YouTube Channel for all my builds including the Night Vision Goggles with spotter cam http://www.youtube.com/user/RolaidsBench/videos?view=0&flow=grid

Here is a link to my Excel Spreadsheet that has parts lists and cost – Updated

No IR mounted

You can create a custom reticle with a total of 8 lines by using the Privacy Filter and tweaking the settings (I show it in the video) so it has 8 zones instead of the factory 4.

You are right – go least expensive. Also – will soon be doing an update video on this build. I am testing a large variety of lens and changing the mounts a touch. You may want to wait yet I can’t say exactly when I will finish (2-6 weeks I hope). It all depends on brain energy levels 😕

Hi Rolaids, does it matter what lens I order the EJ230 camera with, as I get the impression it get’s replaced with the Fujinon lens and the adapter anyway?

The reason I ask is the price varies according to the lens, I can’t see the point in paying the extra for the 12mm lens if it’s just going in the bin (trash)………..

Online Excel……………
