I just wish everyone else thats playing in the field didnt feel the same way. Its one thing to say "Hey this is built and marketed to Uncle Sugar, triple the price!" Its another for a small shop to say "Hey I'll never sell to the military but screw it I'm going to charge like I am!" My opinion. |

Well that small guy is just entering the market at a similar (usually a tad lower) price point. But yeah its lame. |

I use a Yukon adapter... It's great for still... But only "functional" for video. Here's an example of a video I took. The video isn't too bad, but look at the edge - The scope is vibrating everywhere. David.

Beat me to it- it was awesome. That's exactly what I use and it works really well. The bottom is threaded so it can be attached to most if not all tripods. |

 I actually have two sisters in Teaxas. One in Ft. Worth and the other just a little south. One is a professor at TCU and a user of night vision (with my help) . She is a bunch smarter then me I must say.
I am the dummy in the family ! Mostly cause I type slow ... but,this adapter will help her with photo taking !

Hey Guys,
For what it's worth, here are some photos of ours taken with a Nikon D700 DSLR with the Camera Adapter. I have no experience with the commercial one from Cabelas, but we use the military camera afapter for all our "through the tube" shots.

I only wish all my tubes were that good. :) Although that Night Enforcer did seem to have a rather striking eagle-shaped photocathode defect by the look of it ? Which reminds me... Are you still working on the comparison? I'm really hanging out to see how that goes - ! David.

Yeah, my wife is our photographer and she might have accidentally put an image in the wrong file. Oops. Yes, we are still working on the comparison article. Things are crazy right now with SHOT Show preps.

The adapter does require step rings to fit your lens. Call Calumet Photo

The PVS-14 Camera Adapter has a 46mm lens size. Your step ring will have to go from 46mm to whatever is the size of your camera lens. |

ok, so here's the rig I came up with using the Yukon mount. It's a crazy contraption, but it does capture the image properly. As you can see from the video, though, my shot missed the coyote even though I pulled the trigger with the cross hairs on him and the scope had just been sighted in that afternoon at that same distance.
So either it's the luckies coyote alive and he moved at the last milisecond, or the adapter is affecting parallax and changing the POI. 
here's the video I took with the little Sony T20 video |

i just ordered the small cabelas adapter, i will post some picks and a report when it comes in!!!
i wanted to get the TNVC one and use my GF camera, I know the through the tube picks would turn out better, but she is super protective of her work camera, so i figured i would go the cabelas rought so i can use my digital camera and be able to take video as well. i was able to get some decent picks just lining it up by hand, so i am hoping i will be able to get some kick ass picks!!! |

the cabelas adapter is great, it seems well made, tons of adjustments, i would still recomend to dummy cord the NV to the adapter just because of the way it attaches, it seams firm, but just in case it would slide out.
once everything is set up, as long as you hold still or the adapter is not shaking or moving, the pics turn out great. MUCH easier then holding the camera and NV and trying to line them up and hold everything still. the biggest downfall is when the camera is attached u cant look thru the NV, so make sure the focus on the NV is correct for the distance you are taking pics at. the adapter also can be attached to tripod, which will give you perfect pics since nothing will be moving. you still have to make sure the setting on ur camera are set right. i put mine on macro (since its taking a pic of the NV, not looking thru the tube) and i put mine on a shorted then normal exposure since the flash is off and it trys to have a longer exposer becuase of that. on the last pics i realised i could zoom in a little and get a full shot instead of the round shot. only had time to get a few, but like i said, as long as you hold still, you can get crisp pics, i need to see if my tripod for my spotting scope will work!

As another poster said, shoot it on paper to verify.. It did look like a little pull to the left just as the trigger broke and the flash, but it could be youtube.. ETA What kind of flash hider are you using? |
