Got mine today. Powered them up with a camcorder battery and they seem to work. Still need a lens to get an image though. Anyone have a line on lenses?

Mine came today too, I have links for lenses and power supplies for them. I'll dig them out later and post.

Lens links, not mine originally but these came from the guy selling the cameras:

Here is a good 4mm lens to consider. It will be a mild wide-angle lens...

Here's a cheaper 2.8mm lens that is even wider angle. This one has a higher f-number so it won't be as good in dim light as the one above.

I recommend the following for batteries and chargers. You won't beat his price by much anywhere but his feedback score is amazing and his products are excellent. (Contact him first and he may combine the shipping costs and save you a buck or two.)

This is a 2x magnification lens that works okay...

This is a better 2x magnification lens that works very good. However, an adjustment with a small screw driver is necessary to make it fit the NiteMax...

heh mine came today as well, won't power on though, have to check em over

Mine came today...i have a special model i'm going to review for you with the other one. Let's just say i'm freaking impressed. Its rare a product actually exceeds what i think it will be. It really is an all light camera (used to night vision only) and all the adapters and everythign came as advertised. I'm oging to play with it all tongiht while setting up my girl's computer cause this review is going to be in parts...

Also, stopped by the police station today and get a few opinions on the penal code (for NY atleast). I suggest getting that IR glass you see on remotes and stuff because, atleast in my area, where people rice and race, they'll ticket you for a pine tree freshner! Anywyas, better safe than sorry. Pics and review tomorrow and saturday, or visit the night vision thread in General hardware for shotgunefx's findings!
