NiteMaxx digital night vision camera

Got the camera too! I've been playing around with it since yesterday that i got it. This thing is REALLY good! Mark thank you SO much! Now I need to find some time to work on it... I figured out most of the circuit so I can build a power supply for it. Will post my findings latter.

i hope all of you guys who got one found it worth it? Did anyone acutally find the review helpful? I'm just curious. I mean, i know it sounded like i was just saying it rocked for the hell of it, but it really DOES rock the block. Plus you guys got one a little better than my review unit!

Once again mark, you did us an AMAZING favor by making these things available at those prices. thanks again!

Got the camera + color CCD. Anyone know how to plug the color CCD into my working camera? The connector is a bit different

The connector IS different between the Original and Ultra NiteMax -- however, the signals are the same. Red is +12v DC, Black is Ground and the remaining wire (Yellow or White) is the Video Signal output.

In the NiteMax FAQ thread, I intend to post a description of all of the singals on the Ultra CCD Boards. Only the connector for the 2x Zoom is interesting. Out of seven pins, one is Ground and one enables 2x Zoom. That leaves five other pins with additional (possibily exciting) functions. I just recently uncovered the secret to the additional pins... (Stay tuned!)

Cool... I'll keep checking that thread.

Also, the color CCD has two of the same looking connectors. Same size and everything.

Oh, and pleasure doing business with you. Never had a problem

Got my camera + lense + illuminators + battery-pack sized DC converter.

This is simply the most awesome thing, EVER. Big, big ups to Mark!

Received my camera as well. It looks really nice and powered right up. Now I have to figure out what I did with my lens (put it up for safe keeping and forgot where I put it...

Thanks again for the GREAT deal!

i feel like i won a contest. I got the rare color CCD in my nitemax ultra. However, inside it looks like it was quite tampered with.....oh well......it works. Can't wait to tamper with it myself

Yeah, that lense is small and easy to misplace. First thing I did was assemble the whole thing and take it out to the car to test the night vision.

WICKED! I'm gonna link this thread / Mark's ebay account to a few outdoorsey/gadgety forums who would really get a kick out of the things he has to offer.
