I wasn't satisfied with my makeshift gorpro mount, since the wide angle lens meant that the majority of the pixels were wasted on the area around the tube. My dad got me a fancy new cellphone that takes pictures twice as good as my old digital camera, so I came up with makeshift night vision camera, mark II.
One day I will have the money, and will probably get a TNVC gopro mount for live video. I learned that they will let me use my night vision at a couple of Friday night competitions around here. More inner city stars. Plants definitely have higher definition. Never tried a panoramic picture before, but it is pretty cool. |

You guys sell great products, I think these tubes can last for a long time. Just look at that 10130A surplus tube. That is desert storm era technology and it's still going strong. The pictures are screen shots of video so it really doesn't show it as clear as it should. I might get another tube for cheap and try to make a budget two tube setup. ANVIS housing are not cheap. Would like to use the PVS 7 parts I have to save funds. |

Awesome pics!
I've tried to take a few freehand holding my S5 and snapping through my PVS 14, but they look like crap. Had a nice view of Andromeda last week and tried like hell to get a good pic, but my best still looked pretty bad. I need to come up with a way to snap decent pics. |

Very dark night with no moon. You can see how it auto contrasts as I add more or less of the horizon in the frame. This is in white hot and in Patrol mode. |
