TCM\'s night vision..........

No not that TCM....this one.

Never heard of them before, seem a sort of cheap and cheerful brand sold through supermarkets and catalogues.

Saw this today out shopping for £59.95, thought yeah right bound to be a pile of pooh, last time I looked they were quite expensive bits of kit. Still curiosity got the better of me and though what the hell can always take it back.

Well blow me down with a feather, it flipping works great, been stumbling around in the garden tonight and pop it up to your eye and its like daylight. Really trick bit it has an infra red facility thingy for enhancement of the image gathering, flick it on and it can be as black as coal but the image through the lens is as bright as before.

Thought it would be handy coming back in the dark round the calf sound and avoid bumpty bump on the rocks.

One of my better buys /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif mind you ask me where it is in six months time and I'll have forgotten.

Just tried this......switched all the lights off in the hallway and stuck the lens of the camera against the eye piece (flash off of course) and not a bad result. Twas pitch black.

A) Where did you buy it? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

B) Why does it have the logo of coffee company 'Tchibo' on the box? /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

My Panasonic vid camera did the same thing on night vision. Went down in a German bunker in Guernsey. Could see everything through camera. Pitch black by eye sight.

Did some Xmas shopping at Sainsburys before Xmas, (unusually), and I'm sure they had a display with a bundle of gizmo type things from Tchibo... dont recall night vision stuff though.
 
Re: TCM\'s night vision..........

I've bought a few things from Tchibo (TCM branded products) as there's a retail shop where i work in Essex.. Their stuff will probably go up in price now i've said this but they have been really good value for money with a lot of things and the quality has been really good to.

Makes a nice change from boat gear which it seems if there is a mention of 'marine' or 'boat' in the title, the price goes up by about 50%..
