sony camcorder

get nightvison with a sony camcorder you need a good ir sorce ie laser or lamp look on you tube for chubbtickler it shows you wot you can get out of it. Some of chubbticklers vids have been put on to this site.

I myself have the dcrpc350e sony camcorder .
Getting some cracking footage at airgun range with lamp and filter.
Trying different lasers to get beyond that .

Although you can get good results with a lamp and IR filter at close range your best results at long range will come with an IR laser.

I went out on Saturday night with the sony camcorder and a blazer light with an IR filter attached. I could see every detail on a rabbit at 50 yards.

Hi pete.
Where you impressed with the lamp and filter set up.
For anyone with airgun this is the way to go.
Still need to get the dsa to lock mine up completely then the laser will be the way forward for me on my mach2

went out last night with the sony camcorder on the back of my rapid got 2 rabbits one about 50 yards the other about 70 yards

The camcorder we are now using is a sony dcr pc330 or 330e. You no longer have to buy an over priced gen 1. What you can achieve with this camcorder is far superior and cost a fraction of the price. I am amazed that the technology has been there all along . I have a pair of pvs 7ns with a very good gen 2 tube in it and at 50 to 60 yards the sony camcorder is as good if not better, and that's looking through the scope.

This will only get better as we figure out which mode the camcorder needs to be in and don't forget the piicture we are getting is much better than what you are watching on you tube . For all you that don't know what this is about go on you tube and watch chubbtickler .

got a new scope with illuminated cross hares and side parallax picture looks good will post on you tube as soon as we have some footage

i see the sony dcr pc330 uses super nightshot mode. Is this better than the normal nightshot mode? I heard supernightshot was a bit laggy

use night shot mode only super night shot wont work if you have are rifle only then the lamp is all you need honestly at 50 to 60 yards with the lamp and ir filter we are getting gen 3 footage

I best get one quick then as I see them becoming like the proverbial rockin horse, once people see the vids on youtube
£200.00 ish for gen3 performance is a no brainer really

we bought 2 each as soon as we realised

How difficult is it to make a DSA to fit the Sony camcorders?

Which other models are available which would be suitable?

Alan.

Go to the plumbing shop and get some waste pipe . I have a dsa that I use with my pvs 14 . so i just use that. Any camcorder that's got a 1/4 or a 1/3 chip both do the job but the one we are using is the pc330 or 330e. This camcorder as 3000 pixels and is giving us the best picture.

couldn't find a pc330 anywhere but got a pc 350 off amazon of all places, cant wait for it to arrive now

thats a good camcorder you wont be disappointed

I went out tonight with chubbtickler filming hares with the camcorder when a big badger came down the field eating worms as he wobbled along. He came within feet of us. The footage we have is amazing, as clear as a television picture, will put the footage on youtube probably at the week-end

kewl. cant wait to see it.
I will be picking your brains for setup info when it arrives.

going out tonight to see if we can get any footage of a fox .Ive put a scope on an old stock and i have the camcorder on the back of the scope this way i can go were i want as i don't have a gun with me .i want to get some good footage to put on you tube at the weekend

Look forward to that. Dont forget to put the links in here

Just got in, absolutely wet through

Foxy wouldn't come out to play, but got a bit of footage of a hare.

Don't forget to watch you-tube this weekend.

going out tonight with the camcorder on the back of my rapid, should get some nice footage. Will get some pictures at 30 40 50 yards with the lamp with ir filter then do the same with the ir laser .been talking with one of the lads he says he can't believe the picture he's getting at these ranges with the lamp an ir filte.r the camcorder cost him £90 the lamp was made up from the scrap yard so cost nothing. As I said earlier, gen 1 scopes are pants compared with these.

This footage will be shown on you tube, probably next week.

the footage of the badger is now on youtube look for chubbtickler then when footage comes up press on one of the films then press more from chubbtickler thats on the right side of you computer you will see it . it says footage of rabbits and badger we have not put the footage thrue the scope on as we dont wont anybody getting the wrong idea

the footage is naw on the site under post your vids

badger footage is awsome well done chubbtickler.
