hello,

Don't go there, get yourself a KPC E700 from Sure. Most of the good people on Nightvisionforum.co.uk have tried to go cheap and it doesn't work. I have made a brilliant set-up with parts and it's only the fluffy things with big ears that don't like it.

Sorry cant help you out with the camera - but there is a 1 on ebay at the moment for £45. Dont know if this is still a bit expensive for you or not.

I built a Nv setup with almost same specs & used it with my TX200. It ran for a year & then the camera died,not sure it was because of recoil of springer or its quality. Now I bought another camera with similar spec. I dont think EJ230/KPC camera is required unless u are using it to shoot beyond 20yds. Those cameras have buttons to adjust the pic quality in terms of brightness, contrast, hue, gain etc & i can conveniently use it for that 20yds range
Thanks

You could take a chance on a cheap camera and you may get one that's not too bad but if you want to be confident of getting a good result you'll be better off getting this one http://www.sure24.co.uk/solutions/night ... ernal.html
With this sort of kit it's definitely buy cheap, buy twice.

Yes guys i think i am going to do that when i can next afford it, i am going to go the proper route with the camera from sure, has i have now blown the cash on a combro and other stuff, as i have completely serviced my rifle with a few new seals and new hammer spring so i will now have to leave the build until i get the cash back together but thx for all of your acknowledgements.
