on with this crazy glue and you really want to use the the crazy glue with a

want to use the the crazy glue with a

want to use the the crazy glue with a brush because it allows you to be more

brush because it allows you to be more

brush because it allows you to be more accurate and if you use too much it

accurate and if you use too much it

accurate and if you use too much it reacts with the plastic and gets all

there I use scissors actually because I

there I use scissors actually because I didn’t have a large enough drill bit to

didn’t have a large enough drill bit to

didn’t have a large enough drill bit to make these holes

make these holes

make these holes I took my soldering iron poke a little

I took my soldering iron poke a little

I took my soldering iron poke a little hole waited that for the plastic to dry

hole waited that for the plastic to dry

hole waited that for the plastic to dry and then I just took my scissors and

and then I just took my scissors and

and then I just took my scissors and twisted them until you know I had decent

twisted them until you know I had decent

twisted them until you know I had decent sized hole and it fits perfectly so

sized hole and it fits perfectly so

sized hole and it fits perfectly so there’s no contact with the actual

there’s no contact with the actual

there’s no contact with the actual camera itself and then when you turn on

camera itself and then when you turn on

camera itself and then when you turn on the LEDs with the battery in

sorry an idiot it’s pretty bright and

sorry an idiot it’s pretty bright and the camera that I’m recording with

the camera that I’m recording with

the camera that I’m recording with actually isn’t infrared there’s a filter

actually isn’t infrared there’s a filter

actually isn’t infrared there’s a filter in it but this is so bright that not all

in it but this is so bright that not all

in it but this is so bright that not all of the infrared light is being blocked

of the infrared light is being blocked

of the infrared light is being blocked so if this was infrared this whole

so if this was infrared this whole

so if this was infrared this whole screen would be just white from all the

screen would be just white from all the

screen would be just white from all the light it’s just it’s really ridiculously

light it’s just it’s really ridiculously

light it’s just it’s really ridiculously bright these 200 milliwatts LEDs are

bright these 200 milliwatts LEDs are

bright these 200 milliwatts LEDs are really really good

really really good

really really good so what haven’t I explained umm the

so what haven’t I explained umm the

so what haven’t I explained umm the spool originally didn’t have holes so

spool originally didn’t have holes so

spool originally didn’t have holes so what I did is I took a needle heated the

what I did is I took a needle heated the

what I did is I took a needle heated the needle up with a lighter and used some

needle up with a lighter and used some

needle up with a lighter and used some pliers to just pop two holes just all

pliers to just pop two holes just all

pliers to just pop two holes just all around here and I think it turned out

around here and I think it turned out

around here and I think it turned out pretty good this spool was also just

pretty good this spool was also just

pretty good this spool was also just crazy glued down less is more with this

crazy glued down less is more with this

crazy glued down less is more with this stuff you don’t want to dunk help the

stuff you don’t want to dunk help the

stuff you don’t want to dunk help the moving camera inside so if you need to

moving camera inside so if you need to

moving camera inside so if you need to go back and you know enforce it wait

go back and you know enforce it wait

go back and you know enforce it wait till it’s on there and then you can go

till it’s on there and then you can go

till it’s on there and then you can go all the way around the edge if you want

all the way around the edge if you want

all the way around the edge if you want but I would say less is more because you

but I would say less is more because you

but I would say less is more because you really don’t want to mess up that little

really don’t want to mess up that little

really don’t want to mess up that little retracting thing you want to move nice

retracting thing you want to move nice

retracting thing you want to move nice and fluid like that so I’ll be showing

and fluid like that so I’ll be showing

and fluid like that so I’ll be showing you guys the ranges I’d say it’s an

you guys the ranges I’d say it’s an

you guys the ranges I’d say it’s an Atlas 50 feet and the good thing about

Atlas 50 feet and the good thing about

Atlas 50 feet and the good thing about this viewfinder is if you focus the

this viewfinder is if you focus the

this viewfinder is if you focus the camera so if you turn on these LEDs

camera so if you turn on these LEDs

camera so if you turn on these LEDs they’re so bright that you can actually

they’re so bright that you can actually

they’re so bright that you can actually see them on the screen but if you focus

see them on the screen but if you focus

see them on the screen but if you focus it just right you won’t see the LEDs and

it just right you won’t see the LEDs and

it just right you won’t see the LEDs and also if you notice when you take any

also if you notice when you take any

also if you notice when you take any time you take a picture with a low

time you take a picture with a low

time you take a picture with a low quality camera the image is always

quality camera the image is always

quality camera the image is always smaller than what your actual eye would

smaller than what your actual eye would

smaller than what your actual eye would see so by zooming in you can find the

see so by zooming in you can find the

see so by zooming in you can find the perfect combination that is equal with

whatever you decide to put this on and

whatever you decide to put this on and this plastic rubber allows you to hold

this plastic rubber allows you to hold

this plastic rubber allows you to hold it close to your eye and it allows you

it close to your eye and it allows you

it close to your eye and it allows you to be more stealthy if you’re spying on

to be more stealthy if you’re spying on

to be more stealthy if you’re spying on someone or you might use this for

someone or you might use this for

someone or you might use this for hunting I’m just going to explain a

hunting I’m just going to explain a

hunting I’m just going to explain a little more how this circuit works for

little more how this circuit works for

little more how this circuit works for your LEDs you have your positive

your LEDs you have your positive

your LEDs you have your positive positive goes down to your Y and your

positive goes down to your Y and your

positive goes down to your Y and your LEDs by Y I mean the two positive ends

LEDs by Y I mean the two positive ends

LEDs by Y I mean the two positive ends of your LEDs should be connected to your

of your LEDs should be connected to your

of your LEDs should be connected to your tenant resistor then those go up to your

tenant resistor then those go up to your

tenant resistor then those go up to your negative your negative comes up and then

negative your negative comes up and then

negative your negative comes up and then you see there’s a wire here and there’s

you see there’s a wire here and there’s

you see there’s a wire here and there’s also a wire right here that wire goes up

also a wire right here that wire goes up

also a wire right here that wire goes up to your switch comes back down and this

to your switch comes back down and this

to your switch comes back down and this is your negative so it goes from here

is your negative so it goes from here

is your negative so it goes from here back down around and to your other side

back down around and to your other side

back down around and to your other side your positive so like I said these are

your positive so like I said these are

your positive so like I said these are in parallel hopefully you guys know what

in parallel hopefully you guys know what

in parallel hopefully you guys know what that is if not look it up and if you

that is if not look it up and if you

that is if not look it up and if you have any questions like I said message

have any questions like I said message

have any questions like I said message me Thanks

here’s a quick demonstration of how the

here’s a quick demonstration of how the night-vision scope would work right now

night-vision scope would work right now

night-vision scope would work right now I have the lights on the light on the

I have the lights on the light on the

I have the lights on the light on the infrared light is not lit yet so turn

infrared light is not lit yet so turn

infrared light is not lit yet so turn that on and there you can already see

that on and there you can already see

that on and there you can already see the kind of purple light coming off of

the kind of purple light coming off of

the kind of purple light coming off of the infrared lights so I’m going to turn

the infrared lights so I’m going to turn

the infrared lights so I’m going to turn off the lights now can’t see anything

off the lights now can’t see anything

off the lights now can’t see anything it’s pitch-black in here and there it is

it’s pitch-black in here and there it is

it’s pitch-black in here and there it is focused on the screen I was in a little

focused on the screen I was in a little

focused on the screen I was in a little bit there’s the end of my closet right

bit there’s the end of my closet right

bit there’s the end of my closet right now I’m about 25 feet from the end of

now I’m about 25 feet from the end of

now I’m about 25 feet from the end of the closet and you can clearly see

the closet and you can clearly see

the closet and you can clearly see everything to the back of the closet and

everything to the back of the closet and

everything to the back of the closet and it’s even bright you can see at the very

it’s even bright you can see at the very

it’s even bright you can see at the very back of the closet there’s a little

back of the closet there’s a little

back of the closet there’s a little circle of light so

circle of light so

circle of light so I think that tells me that this can even

I think that tells me that this can even

I think that tells me that this can even go further than my closet but this is

go further than my closet but this is

go further than my closet but this is the darkest hallway I have my house

the darkest hallway I have my house

the darkest hallway I have my house though thanks for watching hopefully you
