    While I was experimenting with my panoramic NVG, I found a runcam 3 with the IR filter removed works better costs less and gives you color during daytime use.

    hello great idea, enough to convince me to replicate it, using an effio clone camera and your own monocle I try but I don't get any video signal, as in your video I connect the stripped cable together with the black, to the negative of the 3.7V battery the red to the positive and the white with the yellow of the room, but the monitor remains on a blue screen and written welcome, what could I have wrong, I would like to point out that the camera has only 3 red, black and yellow outputs and is powered at 12 volts, thanks in advance

    Did you end up changing the lens on the camera? I made something similar out of card board but the camera lens was meant for fpv so it's very fish eyed thus not giving me proper depth perception. I'd like to find a lense that has a similar FOV to the human eye.

      @@JTMakesIt it has 1 of 2 things for day time filtering! I think it's like the raspberry pi night cam and has no filter on the back of the lense but a filter on the shutter that clicks over when dark is detected or its filtered in firmware. There may be 1 or 2 more tricks they use for filtering but I'm not sure exactly what they would be! But take the lense off your cam and look to see if there's like a calico color looking lense either glued on or melted in! Sometimes runcam had it molded in the lense itself and what I did was swap the lense for a foxeer or caddx lense kuz they do the ghetto glue deal and take the little lense off! Daytime it should look like a beastie boys video and everything is white and washed out but still see clearly.! Nite time it will look the same as day time just in black and whiteish

      I could be totally wrong too! Not a noob to fpv but I still am learning! Just discovered how the osd really works in SB/HDZ vs analog and dji I think! But I would check your lense! It will require next to no additional ir bulbs!

    May it be possible to simplify ?
    1/ camera 3.7 - 34 V , ocular : 3.7 - 5V. . Could it be possible to use a xx V to 5V (Ebay 1.5€) module which could power both camera and ocular from a 7.4 V Lipo battery.
    2/ Lipo battery : by using a 7.4 V Eachine battery (FPV), the charging regulator from 5V USB (5V to 7.4V) is integrated in the battery, hence no need to use a PCB.
    I am building a NVG implementing these choices.

    • @JTMakesIt
      @JTMakesIt  3 года назад

      It is possible. In the video description there is an Instructables.com link where I described the build in more detail. There you will also find a simplified schematic where you don't need the PCB. You could use cheap power converter for powering from higher voltage.
